Small Saga is so so good. I'm actually excited to replay it with the new difficulty

In 2016, we published potentially the largest single feature to ever appear in Game Informer magazine with a full oral history of the legendary studio, BioWare. We've made that feature available online following reports of the studio's impending closure. gameinformer.com/feature/2026...

Ngl I can't get some of the weird discourse about poly out of my head. As someone who didn't realize I was nonbinary until like 7 years ago, transitioned 4 ago, and been married almost 2 decades the way everyone talks about people in general over a long period of time is really strange.

Pay attention to the ableism being thrown around with respect to Christina Applegate finding out she doesn’t have MS. People acting like it’s a relief or a blessing. Like she’s “better off now”. She’s still sick. She’s just sick without answers. I guarantee it’s not a “relief” for her.

And if any outlets want someone intimately familiar with BioWare's work and history to write something - please let me know. Have a lot of thoughts I need to sort out right now.

This one stings. Replaying both of these series right now...

I got to review Final Fantasy Resonance - and ultimately great little RPG that builds a fascinating foundation for the future. One of the best turn-based combat systems in years. But it lacks the thematic core that make the best Final Fantasy games timeless.

As someone who got dragged to family court for over a year for "grandparent rights" this is absolutely already a thing that can be weaponized against you.

Hey everyone, this is still ongoing and additional funds are always needed! Nina's visa is biggest expense for this process but it's not the only one nor will it be the last - plus she'll be out of a job after she moves - so any additional funds we can hold on to are super important. More below.

Sometimes I'm like damn I'm so slow at getting videos done, and then I'm scrolling through my subscriptions and realizing how many great essayists have seemingly disappeared or due to other hardships.

Gotta get better at posting updates here. Working on a lil Youtube video discovery project. Community-submitted set of channels, filter videos based on tag/duration/etc, share recommendations with friends. Been a lot of fun to work on. Sick of seeing AI slop in my sidebar.

Hey folks, this year has been rough for both me and my partner, and I'll sometimes link my Ko-fi to try make up for shortfalls in my income in streaming, especially as bills have been particularly bad lately, but tonight I'd like to ask if your help with my partner's cost of living. Thank you. ♥️

The more I learn about ABA the more concerned I am. Been spending an awful lot of time in ABA forums, I have hundreds of screenshots detailing abuse of clients & workers. At least in the US, this is a crisis of enormous scale. And countless children are paying the price.

Asked the BDS movement if it'd like to provide comment on today's House House news:

We love to see it

New Blog: Programming Isn't Special Artists understand that AI is bad for art. Why don’t programmers understand that we are artists? https://blog.glyph.im/2026/10/programming-isnt-special.html

I had offered that man an opportunity to participate in transformative justice where he could take accountability for his drinking and his sexually abusive behaviors in private over a period of time that made me feel comfortable, and he drank through the entire thing and tried to force an apology 

Back in May, Double Fine employees petitioned for a union. Two weeks later, that petition was withdrawn. What happened? https://kotaku.com/inside-the-failed-fight-to-unionize-one-of-gamings-most-idealized-studios-2000742755

Lots of good reasons to be frustrated with the rise of genAI but the idea that it'll accelerate our ability to make More Stuff is driving me crazy. We simply do not need More Stuff! and certainly not Faster!

why are you platforming my rapist

If you’re interested in a grand sokoban adventure that’s not made by a massive bigot (which I’m bringing up for no reason of course!), might I suggest Isles of Sea and Sky? One of the best games of last year by a lot! store.steampowered.com/app/1233070/...

Probably THE most persuasive tool we have as Video Essayists is using ourselves as the uncomfortable example The fact that in 10 years he never made a video about this "life-changing rehabilitation," a thing many young people NEED to learn about, in my mind makes his work cowardly & self-serving 💁

On Jacob Geller, on being both a public figure and a person, and on various levels of haunting of houses: docs.google.com/document/d/1...

I have a few thoughts. www.patreon.com/LolaSebastia...

Definitely all the steps someone would take who is primarily worried about restoration

10,000 Wishlist on Steam Thank you for being part of this journey. If you haven't already, join us on Steam and help us reach the next milestone. store.steampowered.com/app/4438850/...

Consider The Woodchipper by @edgarallanbro.bsky.social CW: sexual assault, rape "Let me be clear: you are not a victim of what Geller did." Read on:

I think when we hem and haw about people going no-contact with their families and what it says about society, what we're often doing is revealing our own discomfort with seeing others starting to pull blocks out of the Jenga tower of Empire and refusing to suffer Just Because.

AND THAT'S A WRAP ON THE FIRST EVER DARKFRY YTP JAM! Behold, all 11 submissions to the Jam compiled into a playlist for your viewing pleasure! Thank you to everyone who participated, I think it's safe to say the event has been a massive success! www.youtube.com/playlist?lis...

it pisses me off seeing that sort of thing because wrt geller it is all hypothetical. you don't know what he's done growth and change-wise and anything else, you only have his account of things. the victim obviously isn't obligated to speak up. taking him at his word is very naive

If you are leaving his Patreon I suggest you go and support another marginalized creator that he worked with instead ❤️ That feels pretty restorative.

generally, publicly admitting to a felony you never did time for is called "getting away with it," but apparently getting fired over it is "supporting the carceral model of justice"

“Restorative justice” is not can you hide this thing well for a long time. People talking about “a decade” but really it was a few years. It just took an extra 6-7 years for everyone to find out.

anyone who doesn't accept "some doors will close for me, some relationships will be lost forever, and becoming better is its own reward" isn't serious about rehabilitation

Just thinking about how much stories about women matter this week. I think it’s a theme I’m gonna keep returning to, so consider this video my warning shot :)

In the midst of all the Geller fallout shoutout to the thumbnail king @hotcyder.bsky.social for always being a consummate professional. If you have thumbnail or graphic design work, consider going to him.

If you like what I do, maybe I've written something you've found interesting, or I've recommended some games that you really like, or you've enjoyed my videos or streams, consider throwing me a little tip? It'll go towards more games as well as helping to produce upcoming videos! 🎃

My podcast partner and best friend forever @philmakesmonsters.bsky.social has a short story collection that is just raking in positive reviews. It comes out next week so maybe buy it?

When an artist who inspires you turns out to be a rapist, your response cannot be to stop making art. Reject them, their work, the parts of them you once emulated, but don’t stop. It wasn’t their crime that inspired you. Make the things they made you want to make. Fuck them; keep the inspiration.
