If I, a video game designer, could have one message to all the nerds in the world, it would be don't worry about your PCs and consoles, we'll just make games for the ones you already have and they're going to be great. Instead, spare a thought for all the medical equipment at your nearest hospital.

The amount of times I sit in a call with a dreamer and their dream game is basically "everything from my favorite six games smashed together into perfect harmony and there was endless flawless content and it has graphics everyone likes" and I have to explain that making feet go on stairs is hard

A logical consequence of the gamification of software.

Alright, so -

Sad that, the very first week I'm supposed to do HK/SS on Tuesday instead of Thursday, I end up not being able to stream tonight after all. Have a meeting tonight that I thought was gonna be last night. Gah.

The evil is defeated

Nature reclaims all

Discord dies. Webrings around a game franchise appear. Amateur websites of black backgrounds, neon green text detailing the lore of a game, sparkly mouse cursors, and marquee text scrolls creep back in. Every website has a new, free ProBoards equivalent. “Did you check GameFAQs?” is a common phrase

I feel bad for all of the streamers who have tied their avatar/pngtuber overlays to Discord use.... And very glad I used separate software for mine!

It's very funny how AI ads are never like, scientists using AI to scan thousands of ancient documents or some kind of actual plausible good use. It's always a guy being like hey chatGPT how do I make a bowl of cereal do I start with a bowl or the milk or what

Two screenshots from the original Pokemon movie with Mewtwo and Mew hovering over a battlefield bathed in a column of light and blue-ish away from the center Mewtwo's quote is split over the two frames: "I see now that the circumstances of one's birth are irrelevant... It is what you do with the gift of life that determines who you are."

Two screenshots from the original Pokemon GameBoy games, with the main character read a book on a desk in the burned-out Pokemon Mansion "Diary: Feb. 6 Mew gave birth. We named the newborn Mewtwo."

Happy birthday, Mewtwo

Tonight I'll try finishing Chromatic Conundrum, and then maybe show off some of my older cat puzzle games or maybe some new demos I got today.

Changing up my streaming schedule a bit! I don't think I can do two hours of Hollow Knight+Silksong as hours 7+8 for the week (instead of hours 4+5 like before) so I think I'll move HK to Tuesdays and instead make Thursdays for my think-y games!

(s/o to @thinkygames.com )

More Escape from Ever After coming up in about 10min tonight on my Twitch channel! Gonna be fun finishing Ch1 and seeing where we go from there~

hey remember when I got shit on for years for trying to warn people that GamerGate was just Nazis and not just about harassing women and not just about some “consumer revolt”

2026 Trans Girl Scouts To Order Cookies From! This year, consider ordering your Girl Scout cookies from a trans girl scout to make their day!

Hey everyone!

Huge news! Our trans girl scout list has sold a total of 146,000 boxes as of today!

But MANY trans girl scouts only have 20, 30, 40 boxes sold.

I just resorted our list to put those on the top.

Go get your girl scout cookies and make a trans kid's day!

How a trans woman's removal from a restroom tore the world of competitive pinball apart Pinball is one of the most welcoming sports for trans players. But after a confrontation at an arcade last fall, pinball’s governing group is struggling to rebuild trust.

I keep reposting this article because it needs to be seen. This is what responsible journalism on a discriminatory act against trans people looks like. Jo put in the work.

It's no longer just my and others' personal accounts vs. random men with opinions.

A screenshot of an article that reads:- "As seen above, 52.83% of gamers still use 1080p resolution, and while the count has dropped by 3.15%, it still represents more than half of Steam’s user base. 1440p is now gaining traction, with the percentage rising to 20.79% as of November 2025. 4k resolution accounts for only 4.21% of the market, with a slight 0.62% gain over the past year."

We build to 4K resolutions, but it's always worth a reminder that the majority of players on Steam still use 1080p.

Absolutely vile

Competition day! 🧩⏱️

Bluesky user shinobi602 says: "Video game stocks are suddenly crashing today with the launch of Google's Project Genie as investors think games will start magically getting made with AI" and then shows four images of stock numbers going down for take two, roblox, cd pronekt, and unity.

From Fortune: "A sharp selloff in tech stocks on Thursday underscored investors' exhaustion with the "spend now, profit later" model that has propelled the AI bull market for three years. Microsoft led the retreat, with its shares plummeting 12% by noon, erasing more than $440 billion in market value, a collapse it hasn't seen since the pandemic. The Nasdaq was down almost 2% at time of writing."

Also from Fortune: "The sentiment shift is not limited to Redmond. Oracle has seen its shares halved from their September highs, erasing nearly $463 billion in value. Once a darling of the AI trade, Oracle has also struggled with investor confidence that the massive data centers it is building for OpenAI will get funded eventually. Additionally, the timeline for several projects has reportedly slipped to 2028, creating a gap between the company's heavy debt-funded spending and the arrival of actual revenue. OpenAI has made about $1.4 trillion in commitments to procure both the energy and compute it needs to fuel its operations. But its revenue barely crossed $20 billion in 2025."

Right, so video game company stocks are crashing because the power of AI supposedly renders them irrelevant. Meanwhile, Microsoft and Oracle stocks are crashing because they spent too much on AI and the market knows they'll never make a return. The economy is absolutely hosed
