WORK UPDATE 📢📢 I've been working with @ko-op.com on some social media/video content as part of the team for their new game Young Suns! It's been a blast getting to know everyone and watching the game change so rapidly over these few weeks. Check it out ⬇️⬇️⬇️ store.steampowered.com/app/4149610/...

Whoever made this trailer deserves 10x whatever they were paid

We’ve got a great lineup of speakers today!

WE DID IT. I CANT FUCKING BELIEVED WE DEFEATED USA WE DEFEATED A COUP WE DEFEATED META WE DEFEATED EVERYONE WHO TRIED TO SILENCE BRAZILIA PEOPLE LULA WON GUYS. THE PEOPLE WON.

participated in a Beyblade tournament this weekend as a total outsider. The joy and hype around dudes dropping spinning tops into a bowl reinvigorated my soul

In my opinion, reading this essay would be a brilliant way to start your Sunday morning.

made a Halloween video for @noclip2.bsky.social and got the real Vincent Price to host for us, what an honor

day 04 of ✨making a character in Youngs Suns until I'm unemployed ✨ is JET

I find the impulse to be like "well nobody who made [insert game I like] was still there, but rip I guess" so disrespectful

can’t wait to do this all over again next week

Losing Bioware's so brutal. Iconic Canadian studio, gone, because the US president's son-in-law wants to help some Saudis own EA Sports FC or whatever

BREAKING: Electronic Arts is cutting 400 jobs and shutting down BioWare, the legendary development studio behind Dragon Age and Mass Effect. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Opinion: Xbox already has a marketing team and (unless I'm mistaken) journalists are not on its payroll A conveyer belt of toothless Asha Sharma profiles have shown one thing: reporters who get access must do better

I have no answers but if we care about a viable path forward for small/idiosyncratic/manmade games we have to stop wondering what daddy Valve is going to "do" about it

the REAL uphill battle is that compared to other mediums, gaming has ALWAYS been atomized. you don't have spaces like movie houses and comic shops. even arcades aren't about 'taste.' its scenes are often competitive or industry. this blueprint is going to be all-new. kotaku.com/dvds-zoomers...

we're all kind of waiting for a 'letterboxd moment' (not a letterboxd-like platform, that already exists) where generations suddenly start shining to discovering things, developing their own taste, and yes in a way that commercial enterprises can learn to love as well

i know we are all aware we are up to our knees in slop but next fest is maybe the most tangible/hellish example of it so far. got actively distressed while browsing the demos last night

Something invented during COVID that exploded in success and has become completely untenable but no one's really sure what else to do so we all just kinda go "that's crazy" every 4 months and hope it stops being bad? Well, luckily this is the only instance of that!

While sad about what KO_OP is going through rn I am excited that I am co-directing again and helping guide some internal pitches. The team is cooking up some really exciting ideas

I've got about 2 months left on Young Suns and was trying to find out how to talk about being furloughed, showing off all the work we put into the character creator and having some fun 🌟 So starting this video series ^^

NEW VIDEO! More rapid-fire recommendations from this October's Steam Next Fest (and guests from the Sonic Amatuer Games Expo) featuring Artius: Pure Imagination, Hyper Bun Buster, Militsioner, and many more 👀 📼 youtu.be/0w6h-W4My2I

Origame Digital + Fellow Traveler they could never make me hate you

#NextFest starts tomorrow! It's the time to play some indie weirdos, odd experiments, new contenders, dark horses, riders and runners. This 30-game selection is a rich mix: maybe something here will turn out to be the one.

Trying to convince my family that they should babysit our son because my wife and I have to beam mental illness into our brains for 2+ hours (watch that new Nathan Fielder movie)

They tore down a piece of Canadian history 😔✊

I’m pacing in the living room over this. Gotta go tell my barista www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-news/t...

Penguin Colony is a vital work of confrontational art. A game that reclaims Lovecraft’s words and turns them against his own beliefs. If it looks like a gag game (cosmic horror March of the Penguins) from the outside, know that it very, very much is not. My review. www.polygon.com/penguin-colo...

Sony selling a $550 Walkman that runs on Android is so unserious. Can we truly not play music without also being able to open Google Chrome?

blogging some of my feelings jannouna.dev/the-last-day/

We’re making the tough decision to delay our Steam demo and release of Young Suns to 2027 to ensure the game is as amazing as we know it can be. Thank you so much to everyone for your support and patience while we continue building the game with you!

Addiction by Design was published all the way back in 2012 and I think it’s the best (and absolutely devastating) book about the mechanics and economics of the predatory gaming industry It wasn’t even about video games, but you could map it to our sphere almost 1-to-1

I'm sorry, an AI guy telling you "The wool is being pulled over your eyes" while simultaneously owning a huge ass yarn factory will never not be funny. You're literally part of the problem my guy.
