I grew up here, and the city really did have some killer buildings, stuff that walked the line between kitsch and cool as well as an anything ever.

In my last few yearly visits to Virtuoso HQ, @saredd99.bsky.social and I became obsessed with competitive golf on the SNES, especially IREM Skins Game and the hilarity of being stressed out and down $80k on the golf course. We didn't understand why there wasn't a modern online version of this! Thus:

didn't know you were over here, somehow! thanks again for running this whole thing. really interesting publishing dilemma for sure. really appreciate your thread here.

Five Tiers of RPG Publishing Hasbro’s annual earnings came out this week, so I took a look. It is truly staggering how much Wizards of the Coast has changed the company since they were acquired; when looking at unadjusted earnings the Wizards of the Coast and Digital Games division was the only one that turned a profit in the entire company. Not only that, but Wizards is responsible for roughly 47% of the entire company’s revenue and over 90% of all revenue growth over the last year.

Westside gun voice: YOU EVER GO TO THE BEACH JUST TO GET OLD?????

Fwiw, I’ve really, really enjoyed a number of your recent pieces. I’ve seen how much you’ve sharpened your voice.

Yeah the generation gap felt, in this way at least, really real

Obviously the closing point about how gamification makes the divide between work and the rest of life slippery is the big important takeaway here, but also, lol, lmao, i simply love to read about the gamer's grotesque urge.

Not as far as I know, but you could check our Patreon comments. We don't run a discord or anything. I'm not in the Remap discord, but I'd bet some folks there talk about the show.

Definitely cosign this recommendation. Was able to nab a used library copy of the first volume a few years back.

I really hope that Hiramoto one day returns to finish this series and that Kodansha republishes it in the West — it would definitely find an audience in a post-Sinners world.

(You’re doing cool work, just keep on doing it!)

It’s sooo good

No!!!

Good site imo

The NO ICE IN MINNESOTA bundle is up. There's a lifetime's worth of good games in this! If you submitted something or just want to shout something out, reply here and let's reshare it and spread the word on this thing.

Thanks. When I was young, I really got so much from every instance of older writers opening up about thier process, their context, what it meant to them to be a writer, so I try my best to bring that transparency forward. Also I'm sort of like a chronic sad sack so it comes naturally.

Unwinnable subscribers saw an excerpt of this last month, but here's the much, much longer convo I had with Autumn back in December about cultural criticism, my process, and a long, ongoing battle with alienation from my own taste and craft. A little rambly, apologies
