There are so many good video games, so many wildly artistic, beautiful, weird fucking games, games I would have never expected to see the light of day. And people like them and play them! It’s not like when I was young and talking about cubivore to anyone who would listen.
Social media loves talking about how everything is getting worse. But what’s something that you’ve seen get _better_ in your lifetime?
Ope, I forgot to post this last week. But I wrote for @mothership.blog about South of Midnight’s difficulty toggles helping my kid into action games, while also showing me how much cheat codes were an integral part of my getting into gaming in the first place. www.mothership.blog/my-kid-hated...

This is some hot shit y'all
When Grammy-winning musician Rhiannon Giddens begins playing “Old Corn Liquor,” a traditional Black American folk tune, acclaimed Chinese pipa virtuoso Wu Man recognizes similarities to Chinese pentatonic music and spontaneously joins in. The joy on their faces says it all.

if you aren't already supporting @mothership.blog, you should be. support women and queer people in video game criticism and journalism. we deserve to exist in these spaces but, at least in the case of mothership, we can only exist and pay our writers and introduce you to new writers if YOU help us.
I want to give that city councilor who tried to keep everyone on task and then refused to pray a high five.
this is the funniest thing i've seen in a looooong time. city passes new rule allowing prayer before city council meetings. satanist prays. city council then debates proper time to "undo the curse that was just put on our city" www.404media.co/it-is-done-h...

What if we just let them have all the money and start our own economy, is that an option
AI is now the biggest investment in all of US history as a percentage of GDP. Datacenter construction is up, all other construction is down. "AI Is Squeezing Out the Rest of the Stock Market," reported WSJ 2 days ago. We basically bet the whole economy on the most optimistic visions panning out.
Incredible behavior.
I saw a band last night who, on the logic that everyone usually misses at least 1 set at a show to smoke or socialize, insisted we miss their set so we watch everyone else. They refused to start until everyone left the room and closed the door. Whenever someone tried to peek, they stopped playing.
