Just heard #PaxUnplugged is going full Human Made. Proud of em, it's my favorite gaming con. And it's nice to know they'd prefer to present the works of real creative human beings. That's one less sign booths need to make, but if you'd like to anyways, here's a free icon hinokodo.itch.io/human-made

It ends w/ Belafonte consoling Fozzie & a performance of "Turn The World Around". The message, & its resonance, remains undiminished... “Do you know who I am Do I know who you are See we one another clearly Do we know who we are” Belafonte would later perform this song at Jim Henson’s funeral.

Every game I’ve made has just been a stepping stone to The Lands Remaining, from both a creative and business standpoint. TLR is what I will be remembered for, and it will absolutely eclipse the success of Brindlewood Bay and Public Access. This isn’t hyperbole or hubris. It’s just… true.

One of the things I know about writing is this: spend it all, shoot it, play it, lose it, all, right away, every time. Do not hoard what seems good for a later place in the book or for another book; give it, give it all, give it now. The impulse to save something good for a better place later is the signal to spend it now. Something more will arise for later, something better. These things fill from behind, from beneath, like well water. Similarly, the impulse to keep to yourself what you have learned is not only shameful, it is destructive. Anything you do not give freely and abundantly becomes lost to you. You open your safe and find ashes.

To those who didn't know (like me), Mixam has a new "Add bundling" option when placing an order. Easy to miss if you're doing a re-order. If you don't add bundling, the games might be loose in the box, and you might be dealing with 1/3 of your copies arriving damaged (also like me).

Hundreds of copies of Anamnesis separated into piles on the floor. The piles have labeled sticky notes in front of them that describe the damage.

It's true that anyone can play your game any which way once they get their hands on it. What do you owe in thoughtful design, and clear explanation to people playing in good faith who have no idea how to play it? The choice about how you think about that agency builds the underlying relationship

(I included alt txt since the op didn't) So while @officialpax.bsky.social still keeps The #PAX Together Intersection pages up for both West and #Unplugged it is clear that the version of the Intersection that was centered on opportunities for BIPOC, LGBTQIA+, & disabled folks is gone. 🧵 1/6

A statement on a blue, purple, pink and orange background with an arcade game with SFAC on the top and a heart on the screen.

The lettering is white and has a translucent black background. The statement reads:

SfaC is honored to be stepping into a new role supporting The Intersection at PAX West 2026.

SFAC

We recognize the importance of The Intersection and the years of work that have gone into making it a meaningful space for Black, Brown, Queer, Disabled, and other historically marginalized and stigmatized members of the gaming community.

In May, We submitted a proposal to PAX to support the Intersection space, and we learned weeks ago that our proposal was accepted. We want to be transparent that The Intersection at PAX West 2026 will not be a continuation of the program exactly as it has existed in previous years. We do not currently have the capacity or resources to recreate its previous scope of programming and services, and we don't want to promise something we cannot responsibly deliver.

Instead, our goal is to carry forward the spirit of the space by creating a welcoming community room where people can gather, connect, create, and feel represented at PAX.

We have intentionally developed community programming and will share more details leading up to PAX!

We know this transition comes during a complicated moment, and we understand that people may have questions or concerns. We have tremendous respect for the people who built The Intersection and the community it has served. Our goal is not to replace that work, but to help ensure there is still a space at PAX where marginalized and stigmatized members of the gaming community can find connection and community.

This is a new chapter for the room, and we intend to approach it with care, honesty, and respect for the work that came before us!
