Sean's that dood @seandood.bsky.social · 15/09/2026Hearing about the recent layoffs at both IGN and (in another adjacent realm) McClatchy has me thinking about times before I left what I'll call "day job journalism." And there's something about this I don't think a lot of folks talk about: there's big money in discrediting critical thought. 110
Sean's that dood @seandood.bsky.social · 15/09/2026What's hilarious is having the same boomers who grew up telling us how "vidyagames" were "such a waste" now grovel at AI and spout shit out like "these kids are so industrious!" 010
Sean's that dood @seandood.bsky.social · 11/09/2026This is exactly what you wind up with when hedge babies and private equity hacks trip and fall into exec jobs in creative industries. None of them can ever grasp the fact that there exist plenty of "premise" cues outside of bad jokes at shitty golf games and arguments with their six ex wives. 010
Sean's that dood @seandood.bsky.social · 27/08/2026My mental state is somewhere between wanting to take a 30+ hour nap and straight up yelling at the next college kid I see throwing out an entire goddamn couch in our one community dumpster 010

Sean's that dood @seandood.bsky.social · 30/07/2026I honestly (thankfully) forgot this turd monster even existed for a minute and come to find out he's trying to jump on the retro wagon? Good blog, no notes -- this dude can definitely fuck off 010

Sean's that dood @seandood.bsky.social · 23/07/2026I will never understand why morning people are so abhorrently loud. Like cool, I'm glad you're proud of being awake at 5 a.m., can I please get my last two hours of sleep before I have to pretend like I can function at your "normal" time? 010
Sean's that dood @seandood.bsky.social · 19/07/2026Sampled this a few years back at PRGE! Want to say I was told to be the 5th or 7th person who ever touched it? (I forget the exact number lol) 010

Sean's that dood @seandood.bsky.social · 08/07/2026Jesus, I am over the moon that neither of my parents ever send me AI slop with a "lol" or "thought of you" text, with everything else going on I'd have no idea how to handle that shit 000
Sean's that dood @seandood.bsky.social · 07/07/2026We can save the internet by simply pointing out that an LLM is not credible if it doesn't know that Alex Jones has died from some kind of bizarre head explosion alone in the drivers seat of his parked van 031

Sean's that dood @seandood.bsky.social · 07/07/2026Found a more positive (and much needed) view on all the ensuing games chaos we're seeing right now. I still have doubts on major companies helping to save physical over the next few years, but it's still heartening to know folks have plenty to play (and other places straight up doing it better). 020

Sean's that dood @seandood.bsky.social · 06/07/2026I've had many spicy thoughts on DRM and losing access to physical video games these past few years (even well before the recent PlayStation announcement), so I wrote some words for @presspauseradio.bsky.socialpresspauseradio.comPress Pause Radio - Not Your Everyday Podcast - Play Has Limits: What The End of Physical Media Really MeansD eep down, most of us knew that game companies would eventually double down on their attempts ... 010
Sean's that dood @seandood.bsky.social · 01/07/2026Agreed 100% -- most of us here will (probably, pending circumstances) be fine and have plenty to sift through. But the future of video game upkeep and preservation as we know it is essentially toast if these trends keep up. Like this is also how slop prevails. 010

Sean's that dood @seandood.bsky.social · 01/07/2026So Sony is essentially killing off whatever we still have related to legitimate console gaming and further funneling the scraps toward PC (which we all know how affordable THAT is now thanks to slop) and fly-by-night mobile models. 000
