When we made our systemic game MirrorMoon EP about the manipulation of systems, the play of contingency, and the brokenness of machines, you commented, β€œOh, so experimental games mean Portal guns now?”

It traumatised us so much we’ve been making games exclusively about Italian politics ever since

The specific example he gives in here is so funny. Like, couldn't have picked a more self defeating example than photoshop, the piece of software where its users are extremely vocal about literally preferring the version from a decade ago lmao

the fifa peace prize thing is very funny because regular anti-trump folks are like "he made them give him a prize" but anybody who knows anything about fifa knows they are the true god-kings of corruption. they make trump look like a little baby.

Cloudflare is just one guy holding two cables together. The entire internet runs through them. He is being electrocuted 24/7 but holds on because he knows people need the world wide web. When he passes out from pain & exhaustion we get 404 errors

People need to boycott this show and not just half ass. Shame everyone who plans on watching it. This isn't about Eurovision, it's about Israel getting away with committing genocide because THERE ARE NEVER ANY CONSEQUENCES. They should be untouchable by now. Everybody needs to walk the fucking walk.

For everyone who's been interested in hearing more about the "evil ambiance" album: you're in luck!

I'm opening pre-orders for GROWING DREAD during #bandcampFriday tomorrow with one preview track. I've got 5 nearly ready to go and hope to make 1-2 more before the anticipated release date of 1/30/26

What this underscores is the sheer danger of market consolidation in gaming. While companies like Valve and Epic do not legally have to carry a game, to not do so is functionally a death knell for that game on the PC; Santa Ragione has said it threatens the studio’s continued existence. This is not equivalent to a theater chain declining to carry a movie; this is two (mostly one) American companies more or less deciding what content is commercially viable across most of the world, in ways that are somehow more vague and opaque than the MPAA. This is a hegemony of American prudishness, applied globally, incoherently, unevenly, and unseriously. Anybody responsible for these decisions would be vaporized in seconds by a Pinku movie from the 1970s, and if a single person in this chain of command has an arts degree they are pretending they don’t for the sake of an ill-defined idea of business. Horses cannot be the ceiling for what is artistically and commercially possible in games, because otherwise we are in deep horseshit.

Chris Person takes a look at Horses, "the indie game that is too scandalous for either Valve or Epic, is only beyond the pale if you're not familiar with any other art form" (quoted from the article blurb).

The Blue-Sky Optimism of Skies of Arcadia A view towards the horizon is baked into the very foundations of Skies of Arcadia, with architecture that draws the eye towards azure skies.

Our first Archetypes article is by game designer Gareth Damian Martin, examining how the architecture of Skies of Arcadia draws the player's gaze towards azure skies.
