Jeffrey Parkin

The final(?) part of Project JASPER is up! It's been quite a journey, and I'm honestly very happy with the (imperfect) results.

It's wild that I went from a idea designed just to prove a point to a fully working computer in just a couple weeks. And I barely screwed it up.

See? These are the things I wanted to learn in this process.

Good to know. "Pea-sized" is subjective enough that it makes me panic. At some point I have to clean up the wires a bit more, so I'll check it then.

The way you say that makes me think the answer should be that I didn't.

It's finally a computer! And I only had four breakdowns in the process.

No, I'm Not a Human is about running an ad-hoc AirBNB in a post-apocalypse full of deadly doppelgangers www.rogue.site/editorials/n...

I mean, I haven't put it together yet, so we'll see! It's not outside the realm of possibilities.

This project is getting ridiculous and I've loved writing it up.

IDK man I just think dropping beginner guides with ASCII art fucking rules.

Also: some very helpful tips from @ripefly.bsky.social and myself! Two different perspectives, as Jeff is just starting the game with 1.0 and I've put a ton of time into early access.

I'm continuing my PC-making journey this week by picking out a processor and graphics card. (Please don't be mean to me about my choices, I've already ordered them and there's no going back now.)

Rogue Roundup for Sept. 19, 2025 We're three weeks into the existence of Rogue and we're so happy you're all joining us on this journey.

Genuinely, one of my favorite parts of starting Rogue is that it gives the world a place to read more Cass-being-Cass articles like this one. I love this so much.

I did end up using that *extensively*. I'll get more into that next week.

I am starting a big project to Stick It To The Man™ that will be a multi-part journey of learning (read: failures) and discovery. Follow along and laugh at my mistakes.

Like @rygilliam.bsky.social, I was legitimately sad when the early access demo ended. I just wasn't ready to be done and I can't wait for more.

I tried, I really did. But it's time to admit that things just aren't working out between us @teamcherry.bsky.social

This happening at a Valnet owned site is proof that games media cannot continue to exist with 0 mentorship, editorial oversight, general education for new writers.

No writer assigned a review should not understand what an "embargo" is and how to uphold it.

This is just as much on their editor.

Strange Antiquities is an intriguing welcome back to Undermere If you’ve played Strange Horticulture, you’ll recognize the structure of Strange Antiquities.

Here's what you need to know about the first few hours of Borderlands 4 A lot has changed in Borderlands 4, and you should know about at least some of it before you get started

Borderlands 4 is here, it's huge, and it's pretty damn different from most of the other Borderlands games out there. But we can help.

Silksong is here and we've got a beginner's guide, but more importantly, @alicejovanee.bsky.social had the brilliant idea to start making us ASCII art for our guides and I couldn't be happier.

The founding members of Rogue.site will be hosting a Reddit AMA today to answer any big questions you might have about the site, how it came to be, and where we plan to take it.

Post your questions here, and we'll start answering around 1 PM EST.

007 First Light and Mewgenics are the perfect trailer double feature Two of next year's most exciting games could not look more different from one another

Looking a Friday dose of whiplash? Might we recommend a back-to-back showing of the gameplay reveals for Mewgenics and 007 First Light?

Completely worker-owned, ad-free, reader-supported video game websites AND politicians who stand up to fascists?

Wow @jbpritzker.bsky.social, Bluesky really has it all.

As Rogue's resident Old Man™, I will not stand for this @michaelstipe.bsky.social erasure.

The Toxic Avenger versus medical debt Toxie takes on real evil.

We need more of this.

We're working on it! We somehow managed to break the automated one, but should have it sorted out soon.
