We are about to run face-first into a combo of:

- Covid development delays (2020-2022)
- End of Zero-Interest Rate Policy (2022)
- Overinvestment in games-as-a-service (2021-2025)
- AI-based hardware shortages (2025+)

AAA games take 4-7 years to develop and bring to market. It is going to be BAD.

Please support this if you can, I would really love for it to exist because a) I love @meghna.bsky.social and b) this game's vision of activisim is something we haven't seen games explore yet

This game looks incredibly cool

You're reading things into my post that aren't there. It happens.

Yeah but that doesn't mean cultural specificity doesn't exist.

Enneagram 5s be like...

I would add it's not just "consumption" it's consumption of "achievement culture" or "aspirational consumption" as a very American thing. It's not like people don't consume stuff in Brazil...

hard to think of a better example of "you may not believe in class war, but billionaires know they're in one" than this

The Enneagram and the Law of the Excluded Middle A central proposition of the Enneagram is the Law of Three, which is illustrated by the triangle in the center of the Enneagram symbol…

Yes indeed.

The Shadow of Type 9 I’ve talked here quite a bit about the essence of Enneagram Type 9. Our holy idea of Holy Love and our virtue of Right Action, and how…

The Body Triad and Conflict in Princess Mononoke This month in particular, the world has seen a dramatic escalation in conflict, which sees no sign of ending any time soon. Personally, as…

Would love to speak to any regular international GDC attendees who are skipping this year's show (or were going to attend and have now cancelled) due to the current political climate. DMs here or luke@aftermath.site, thank you!

A Lot Of Great Games Will Never Win A Game Award While the industry celebrated Clair Obscur several times over, we talked about the wonderful December releases that are more interesting than The Game Awards.

Every year the industry puffs itself up for The Game Awards, but many of the best games release in December to far less fanfare. aftermath.site/a-lot-of-great...

Thoughts on Type 9 The leadership dynamos of the Enneagram

I wrote about the unstoppable dynamos of type 9 and some of the roots of sloth medium.com/@kyle.alexan...

If the fixation remains why claim that type is simply a part of ego? It seems like splitting hairs.

That is the personality, not the type as a whole. At the most extremely high levels of nondual consciousness it seems likely type dissolves as a vestige of ego, but this is something attained by almost no one.

Thoughts on Type 8 The sweet marshmallows of the Enneagram

I wrote about Enneagram Type 8 and how they are the sweetest marshmallows of all the types ❤️

Remembrance Day Remembrance Day invites us not only to recall a horrific war, but to wake up. Gurdjieff said wars are driven by unconscious forces; we become pawns, sleepwalking. As a Type 9, prone to forgetting myse...
