Really happy to hear @vinnycaravella.bsky.social and @bradshoemaker.bsky.social talking about @blakemanorgame.bsky.social on this week’s @nextlander.com podcast. As soon as I played the Steam Nextfest demo earlier this year my immediate thought was ‘this is a Vinny game’.

5 Stars in the Guardian!

I've been chipping away at a little VR project with a friend. We've called Time Ranger. It's a loveletter to the golden age of lightgun gaming.

Just rolled credits on Blue Prince. Still a *lot* more to do but it has been a long time since a game has lived rent free in my head when I’m not playing it as this has. I think the last one was Outer Wilds.

POW who blinked 'torture' in Morse code Jeremiah Denton, the downed Navy pilot who was paraded before television cameras by the Viet Cong and confirmed U.S. suspicions of prisoner maltreatment during the Vietnam War by blinking out the word...

Was playing games with my 11 year old niece today and discovered that she inverts the vertical look in controllers. Couldn’t be prouder of her!!

A missing young woman, a mysterious hotel, occult practices. It's too much of a coincidence for these things not to be linked in some way. But how? What is truly happening at Blake Manor?

Happy Christmas all 🎄

A TNG scene. We're in the Enterprise conference room, where Picard is holding a meeting with Data, Troi, and Dr Crusher. Barclay is also there, for unknown reasons. Maybe he wandered into the meeting and just sat down, and everyone was too polite to mention it. That happened to me once. I was visiting an office location I didn't normally go to and I wasn't quite sure which conference room I was supposed to be in. I walked into one and sat down and it took me five minutes to realize I was in the wrong meeting. From the perspective of the people in that room, halfway through that meeting, a stranger walked in, sat next to the boss, took notes for five minutes, then walked out without saying a word.

At its heart, Star Trek is a utopian fantasy about a society so advanced that they are capable of holding productive meetings that last no longer than three minutes

Checked the weather app for a snow update and was very confused when I read this as furries rather the flurries
