I don’t have many words to spare for socials these days, but I do take a fair few photos. If you’d like a window into my wanders through Tokyo and beyond, that’s most of what you’ll find here 😊

Current Nintendo Direct dreams and desires: - Hotel Dusk (port, remake, words on a screen, anything) - Style Savvy - A Link Between Worlds (and/or other 3DS ports/remakes) - New Nintendo IP - Sin & Punishment: Star Successor (or a sequel) - New 2D Wario Land - Sonic Advance Collection

It really is so much nicer having multiple days’ notice ahead of a Direct. I will grow plumper by the day with hype and hope

If you’re worried about the future of games, remember that your $ holds enormous sway. Support companies who actually care about the art and craft of making games, who put people first and value their employees & audiences. Support indies especially. The future doesn’t belong to greedy corporations

So when thousands of women (and children) were being duplicated--including in non-consensual AI porn--it was no big deal. But it took "only a 15-sec clip" of these two famous white men to draw outrage and fear. Gotcha. Cool cool.

The New York Times@nytimes.com

It took only a 15-second clip of Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt duking it out on a crumbling rooftop — made by A.I. with a two-sentence prompt and the click of a button — to draw swift outrage, and sizable fear, from Hollywood. "It’s nothing short of terrifying," one scriptwriter said.

We don’t use generative AI at Strange Scaffold and I can confirm that a *lot* of other studios are not—whether indie or AAA. Get outta here with this normalization bullshit.

Let's not let them just normalize this - at Denkiworks we don't use generative AI at all.

It’s a bit hard for me to put into words just how very much this project meant to me, but if you know me at all, you probably understand. Echoing Jon’s sentiments below in expressing big love and gratitude to everyone involved. This game is genuinely a blast and I hope you’ll check it out! 💚

In honor of the 40th anniversary, my anecdote from the EGM issue #200 cover feature “Top 200 Games of Their Time” on Super Mario Bros. — which, of course, ranked #1. Shout out to Scott Dunn for turning me on to the crazy new game he played at Godfather’s Pizza in Brentwood

Addicted to Rematch for moments like this. Down a goal with seconds left, 12, 11, 10. Everybody wants the ball but you’re the one who has it. Can you be a hero? Why the hell not.
