I’m late to this but here they are. Definitely not my favorite games, but 9 games I played that changed my brain chemistry for better and worse!

I’m so glad you’re playing it! I was hoping MinnMax would consider it for the 2 10’s. Hope you enjoy! It’s got a lot of heart.

I’ve been consumed with precisely this 👆The necessity of holding the weight of violence to foreground the views of those who are harmed. I want to hold that with conviction while also holding the humanity of everyone involved without diminishing the violence. The lack of language for this is rough.

“Somewhere between absolution and annihilation there has to be a moral vocabulary capable of describing what happens after a human being does something unforgivable and nevertheless remains human. I don’t know what that vocabulary is yet I only know that I desperately want us to keep looking for it”

After a truly awful couple of days reading about the harm Geller has caused, I’m so grateful to have found a piece of writing that puts words to moral questions I’ve been stuck on. Thank you for writing this @floramerigold.bsky.social

The book offers a host of exercises and practical advice for indie game writers. I often turned to it to get unstuck when working out character and plot problems in my last big game project, and really felt like it helped propel me forward. I even assign excerpts from it in my college writing class!

I’m a big fan of spooky media — particularly Mike Flanagan’s Netflix shows— so I’m super stoked about his new show Carrie coming out next week. But if you like creepy tv miniseries and you haven’t checked out Something Very Bad is Going to Happen, you’re missing out. It scratches that itch for me

I’m really pleased with Silent Hill: Townfall so far. I think I get why folks say its stealth mechanics are tedious, but generally I find it pretty gripping and I haven’t gotten stuck yet (as of chapter 3). Maybe it’s about to get harder? The mood and story are pretty compelling imo #silenthill

I’m watching Dark right now and it really is some of the best tv I’ve seen in years. The Times needs to expand their international viewing if they want to actually keep their finger on the pulse of the medium.

Idk I kind of think it’s interesting. Like, of course it’s a calculated marketing maneuver. I also think it attempts to create a (rare these days) mono-cultural moment of “tuning in” to what’s basically a tv network to experience a big reveal with a shared audience. 20 years ago this was MTV’s job.

But hey, who knows? The PS5 controller has pretty robust haptic feedback as far as motors in controllers go. Maybe the folks at Sony have a clever way to make haptic feedback happen on a screen-based interface we haven’t seen yet. For this to work properly, I think they’d really need to.

010

Ryan C. Wright @ryancwright.bsky.social · 28/07/2026

Conversely, people interpret physical inputs through multiple senses (sound, tactility, etc.). Access isn’t just about an interface’s flexibility. It’s about how many modes of embodied meaning a design can provide at once. I worry digital interfaces would take away more than they provide.

100

Ryan C. Wright @ryancwright.bsky.social · 28/07/2026

Consider how a physical button doesnt need to know whats pressing it so long as it’s pressed. If you’re pressing a button with your chin it works just as well as a press with your finger. Some players need to work with parts of the body that could be out of scope for a digital input’s standard model

100

Ryan C. Wright @ryancwright.bsky.social · 28/07/2026

People arguing digital buttons are flat improvements for accessibility are really under-valuing haptic feedback imo. Don’t get me wrong, modular inputs are great and we need more of them. But the haptic layer of design is a huge vector for accessibility that digital inputs complicate.

As a long-time fan of Dark Souls fandom, I’m delighted to report that possibly the most influential content creator in that space is posting again. EpicNameBro on YouTube just uploaded a Demon’s Souls Remake let’s play, and if you’re a Souls fan or game scholar into the series this is a must-watch.

Obsession is basically everything I want in a horror movie. It was perfectly scary. The pacing was fine-tuned to keep me from ever getting too overwhelmed. It would calm me down in one moment and bring in a bit of levity, just to make the next moment even more upsetting. Super good!
