Statement from Michael and Susan Pretti
Parents of Alex Jeffrey Pretti
“We are heartbroken but also very angry.
Alex was a kindhearted soul who cared deeply for his family and friends and also the American veterans whom he cared for as an ICU nurse at the Minneapolis VA hospital. Alex wanted to make a difference in this world. Unfortunately, he will not be with us to see his impact.
I do not throw around the ‘hero’ term lightly. However, his last thought and act was to protect a woman. The sickening lies told about our son by the administration are reprehensible and disgusting. Alex is clearly not holding a gun when attacked by Trump’s murdering and cowardly ICE thugs. He had his phone in his right hand and his empty left hand is raised above his head while trying to protect the woman ICE just pushed down, all while being pepper sprayed.
Please get the truth out about our son. He was a good man. Thank you.
Kare 11 local news just read, in full, this statement from Michael and Susan Pretti, the parents of Alex Pretti.
"Please get the truth out about our son."

ICYMI during the holidays, these were my five favourite video games of 2025.
Special props to Baby Steps and Lumines Arise for being utterly magnificent in their own unique (and harrowing, in the case of Baby Steps) ways.

In Zelda 2, a woman appears in each town, beckoning Link into her home. They disappear inside and Link's health begins to refill.
One reddit user recently asked if this scene was *intentionally* suggestive. While that seems very unlikely, I thought I'd look into it.

Lumines Arise is the kind of game that I won’t delete from my hard drive because I will always want the option to lose myself to the game periodically, which Arise is consistently excellent at.

A Profound Waste of Time: Issue 6
The beloved gaming mag returns, with Astro Bot's Nicolas Doucet, Danganronpa's Kazutaka Kodaka, Team Ninja's Fumihiko Yasuda and more!
I do not post on social media, but I feel in the age of AI slop and digital only releases, something physical, beautiful and created with such care should be shouted from the rooftops.
@apwot.bsky.social keep doing what your doing!

After nine years, Rez Infinite remains gaming’s greatest tease
“If we're using the word ‘prologue,’ obviously something has to come after...”
We're kicking off a series of music game oral histories with a look back at Rez Infinite -- and why it's been nine years without a follow-up.

According to Wikipedia, today is the 20th anniversary of The 1UP Show. I choose to believe this is true.
I miss this work. More, I miss my old coworkers. Still the best and most fun job I ever had.
I’ll let Jane and Eric’s killer tune race through my mind today.
