Every time I see a YouTube title that goes “Is [game/series] still worth playing?” I want to throat punch the creator repeatedly. Questioning if a person’s (or collection of people’s) art is worthless is such a dogshit concept. It is deeply insulting to humanity that the genre exists.

I played the first few hours of Silent Hill Townfall last night. It makes a BIG difference to the plausibility of the environments when a Scottish setting was created by Scottish developers. No shade to the lovable looseness of Bloober’s locales in SH2R, but this is another level of immersive.

SH2R features disturbing environmental details. The more I look at this range hood, the deeper into madness I’m pulled. It’s installed to only cover half the range, affixed to the underside of a pre-existing cupboard. The vent cuts through the cupboard to reach the ductwork, sealed with caulk.

I have an unconventional solution to the loneliness crisis and the erasure of third spaces...

Marketing graphic for Nintendo Streetpass on the 3DS. It shows white stick figures going about their days and the two in the middle are walking away from each other, one has a tote bag the other a briefcase. It shows 3DSes in their bags and green arrows forming a circle between the people. At the bottom is two 3DSes doing a wireless communication thing between them.

It’s nice when fans of a thing are enthusiastically welcoming and helpful to new fans of their thing. It’s nice when they leave room for the new fans to enjoy it in their own personal context, instead of condescendingly dictating the “correct way” to begin. Fans should be ambassadors, not zealots

There’s a 5-second deleted scene in Jim Henson’s Labyrinth in which the main girl, after encountering many fantastical beasts & beings, comes across a regular chicken. She pauses for a moment, as though expecting it to start talking, then remarks “oh, it’s just a chicken” and moves on. I love that

I think this is the cleanest MK play I’ve had in ages. An opportunity like this does not come often. Replay mode is made for moments like this. (I was in third place, drew a mushroom & triple green shell from the item box, while gaining on opponents positioned closely together.)

When we hate on these disgusting immoral evil billionaires it’s bc just look at everything Dolly did. They could be doing that. They could just be helping people and every day they choose not to help people. They choose to harm. And when they die, we’ll dance and laugh and be thankful they’re gone.

Sorry pal: neither Nintendo nor Sony "made" your favorite game. A group of people working there at that time did. Game companies aren't one single dude making every decision and doing all the work. Stop treating companies as people or a single monolithic entity, it's fucking weird.

The question isn’t just how much one billionaire pays in taxes. It’s why so much power over technology, resources, and the future of humanity rests in the hands of a tiny oligarchy instead of being democratically controlled by the people who actually make society run.

Now that Mina the Hollower is out and I’m playing it, I have zero interest whatsoever in reading peoples’ reactions or opinions on it. Discourse about difficulty and design is exhausting in 2026. My enjoyment with the game is the only thing that matters, and I am enjoying it very much.

Rolled credits on Mixtape last night. I’m glad games like this are still getting made: Vibesy coming-of-age stories set in hometowns with friends, written to have some poignant moments of earnest reflection. Many scenes put a big smile on my face, or made me laugh out loud at the modes of gameplay.

the nicest thing you can wish upon an artist in 2026 is that their work gains a small but dedicated cult following of kind hearted and politically shrewd weirdos & sickos that keep the fire going. the meanest thing you can wish upon an artist in 2026 is that their work gains a large online fandom

Between Blippo+ and Silent Hill f, my favourite gaming experiences of 2025 have been all about repeated plays, uncovering new connections and re-interpreting the meanings written between the lines. My favourite discoveries have been stories that are not explicitly shown on screen or in gameplay.

Sometimes we’re unsatisfied with a thing we made because when it only existed in our head, we saw all the things it could have been and when it’s done we know all the things that it isn’t, but we can’t see the way it expands into a million new things when someone else unpacks it in their head. 🖊️🦑

Frustrated little dude gripping a pencil saying “how do I pack this down into something I can actually share?” While swirling rainbows labeled “INFINITE POTENTIAL” float around them.

Little dude frowns at a tiny grey box, exclaiming “all that work for THIS?!”

Little dude shoves the grey box into another little guy’s hands; Frowning, stomping off, and saying “Here you go, I made this, it sucks.”

Second little dude cracks open the box, swirling rainbows project out onto their face.

Second little dude stares in awe at all the swirling rainbows now floating around them.

After boarding a bus yesterday, I saw a gormless rube asking ChatGPT where it was going. Blindly getting on a bus and asking ChatGPT where it’s headed is a perfect microcosm of where we are as a society. Especially when buses have readily available route maps for anyone willing to pull them up.
