Next game I'll be adding to the games finished in 2026 list will be Nighthawks, a Vampire visual novel / story game that I backed on Kickstarter a good long while back. It's not the only Vampire video game I backed on Kickstarter but it IS the only one I finished. Or enjoyed. This one's good.

Mike, buddy, when we say people should get off of X we say that because it’s full of Nazis and AI bros. We explicitly don’t want the Nazis and AI bros to get off X, we want them to stay there.

Kiddo, who refuses to call the tv show Bluey anything other than “Bluey and Bingo”, continues her dedication to equal representation. Her grandparents got her a set of Bluey and Bingo socks. Out of that sense of fairness she is now wearing mismatched socks.

The lower half of a two year old child. The child is wearing a green and blue striped dress with pictures of a rainbow and a tiger on it. Their feet have shoes on and on the right leg a blue sock with “Bluey” written on it and on their left leg an orange sock with “Bingo” written on it.

Amazon shipped me a PS Vita in “very good condition”. It arrived scuffed to hell, with some buttons not working and with someone else’s account. They gave me a full refund and let me keep the junk vita. So i thought you know what? I bet replacement front assemblies and button boards are cheap.

Finally got around to painting the nursery. Also putting in some new beanbags. Kiddo hasn’t commented on the walls at all but I’m happy to report she loves the beanbags! (And @strandedselkie.bsky.social and I like the walls so it’s all a win)

White cisgender gamer boys can't handle a non-white or female protagonist because they can't relate to them. Meanwhile my two year old daughter looks at this illustration of a child woodpecker and loudly proclaims it's her, because the child woodpecker is with their Daddy.

An illustration from the Childrens' book Peck Peck Peck by Lucy Cousins. Two woodpeckers, one much larger, stand perched on a tree branch. Text acompanying the image reads: Today my daddy said to me, "It's time you learned to peck a tree."

I love this little gadget. I've been into retro handhelds for a little while now but the truth is you probably already have a really, really good portable computer in your pocket already. You just need a controller. Enter the pocket taco. Bonus points for it having a ridiculous name!

An iPhone with a GameSir Pocket Taco controller attached to the bottom, it is made of plastic whose colour strongly resembles the original GameBoy and has similarly coloured buttons, except it has four of them instead of two. It clamps around the bottom of the screen allowing an emulated game to be displayed on the top half.

Search your camera roll for “Hell” (Didn’t think I’d have anything for this then got Wic Div’d out of left field)

A pitch document for The Wicked and The Divine. It reads as follows.

Overview

Every ninety years, gods reincarnate. Young people realise they are immortal beings reborn. They are charismatic and brilliant. They perform miracles. They save people's lives, either metaphorically or literally.
Within two years, they're dead.
Our cast aren't superheroes, though they occasionally act like it.
They dress like pop-stars. Hell, on my part, they're often inspired by pop-stars as much as they are by the myths I'm playing with (Example cast: Bast, Astarte, Mithras, Amaterasu, The Morrigan, Lucifer, Ba'al Hammon, etc. We're going to the full range of sources, some with a lot of recognisable star power, and others with less.)
Our cast perform before adoring audiences who go into a rapturous frenzy when the gods speak their Glossolalia. No, they don't understand what the gods are saying, but it feels amazing. Underlying it all, the archetypal nature of feeling young and invulnerable writ large. And, most of all, the sense that in our youth-obsessed culture
they are equally worshipped and despised.
Our cast laugh at it all. They're gods. They're immortal.
For two years.
The idea of playing superheroes as celebrity isn't exactly new.
However, it's always played cynical. The celebrity characters are always the debased bad guys, or at least the cautionary tale and wandering from the road of truth. It's always implicitly arguing that these people are worse than the heroes who came before them because they're on the cover of a magazine and they do a bit of coke. We're not interested in that. We're anti-that. We've all had pop-stars save our life.
It's a book for people whose heroes were primarily Bowie, not Batman.
They'll also be a lot of fights, drama, emotions, secrets and kissing, because we're not stupid.

The lads from Cadia put up a decent struggle. I was ahead on points until the last turn but thanks to the way the missions and secondaries landed my opponent ended up scoring more points in the last turn than I had the entire game. Them's the breaks. :D

Presenting that paragraph as if you genuinely believe that paragraph is the bit I take issue with is utterly disingenuous. This, on the other hand, is classic 'scare quotes' material. Being queer-run does not absolve you of willful or negligent transphobia in your presentation of articles.
