Also as a fun note it's the only game I've rolled credits on in 2026 that has my name in the credits.

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.

Firing more generals will probably solve their 'Can't win in Iran' problem, right?

To specify, I've played 17 games to completion, rolling the credits. I've played quite a few more games than that!

Fun fact, as of 29th September I have played 17 games this year. The median and modal average release year are both 2004 and the mean is around the summer of 2009.

Games of 2026 updated with thoughts on Golden Sun. tl;dr? I enjoyed it, it's definitely a technical feast of a GBA title and an enjoyable RPG. Do I want to invest another 30 hours or so diving straight in to Dark Dawn? ... no, not right now. Some day. blog.wryterra.com/the-games-of...

WRT last reposts. What especially sucks about this situation is I kind of want to avoid buying Image because of this, but at the same time Image publish so many genuinely talented independent creators. It's not like the industry is spoiled for choice with places for them to go to either.

Meanwhile, many of the women harmed had their careers and aspirations derailed. But it's supposedly unfair for him not to be given a second chance.

I am deeply disappointed in Image for choosing to publish new comics from Ellis without him doing that work, when he previously abused his position as a popular comics writer to do what he did.

With the conversations happening here today, I'm thinking about how Ellis gets to have a "second chance" without doing any of the work to change or even meaningfully apologise to the scores of women he harmed and manipulated. All he had to do was wait a while.

Alright, Golden Sun, fair play. Any game that gets me to play through to the red battery warning light on my SP in a single sitting is probably good.

why would you ever be a loser who uses AI to make “””art””” when you could instead experience the pure unbridled joy of poorly photoshopping your friend’s cat on a skateboard
Photo of a long haired orange & white cat sprawled on the ground. Incoming text reads “Can someone who has more of a brain photoshop him doing a sick skateboarding thing.? Payment in kisses or baked goods”. Outgoing text reads “You know I’ve never been more excited to deliver on something in my LIFE” Two photos of the cat on a skateboard railsliding (kind of) One photo of the cat on a skateboard in the Venice Beach skatepark, two photos of the cat going up a half pipe Photo of the cat in Tony Hawk Pro Skater 2, photo of the cat on the moon

Speaking of games (of the video variety this time) I suggest checking out Nighthawks. It might be to your taste.

I wrote a paper on it at University and it’s good enough that dissecting it for academia doesn’t rob it of enjoyment on subsequent viewings. That’s high praise.

The "and others'' here is such a large group (including you and me as we both have at the least bluesky accounts which are scraped by the models) that public ownership kind of makes sense.

the thing that gets me about Macklemore is that it would have been so easy for him to do a "your criticisms have made me go anti woke" grift after everyone made fun of him for being too earnest and cringe about being an lgbt+ ally and anti-racist but he didn't, he's still here, good for him

A village called Piddlington has voted to leave the UK rather than accept asylum seekers? Fucking do it. Cut them off from our energy grid and communications network, blockade their roads and demand passports, stop funding their public services, cease all trade with them. Let them sink.

Giving oppression a pass also has consequences. Once trans people are firmly unpeopled who do you think the culture war will strip of their rights next and will you suggest that ignoring them for the sake of other oppressed peoples is the right move?

Isn't it convenient that the AI industry's unilateral decision to slow down development for the safety of mankind coincided with increasing evidence that the progression of AI is slowing and the flaws are intrinsic meaning their development was going to slow down anyway, disappointing investors?

blog.wryterra.com/the-games-of... Phoenix Wright Ace Attorney: Trials and Tribulations added to the games of 2026 list. That's the whole trilogy on the list now. Not sure what I'm most likely to roll credits on next as the games are a bit bigger but it'll be a different beast.

“I’m already dead, there’s not a lot you can do to punish me” I’m just about finished with the og Phoenix Wright trilogy and that line of dialogue sums up just how absurd this final case is. You gotta hand it to her, she makes a good point.

Probably. LLMs can’t innovate and don’t actually have a solid grasp of good practice. Relying on them is slightly less useful than relying on a junior dev that lied on their resume and is making it up as they go along.
