The best way journalists can support indie games is to cover more than whatever the current indie hits/darlings of the moment are. Games like Hades, Blue Prince, and Silksong do not need help with visibility, but discoverability is the biggest challenge facing many indie devs today.

I'm glad you’re feeling better! And looks like being away from social media for a while did you a lot of good too :)

Muchísimas gracias! Esperamos que te guste toda la serie 😊

He empezado a jugar la antología de microjuegos de terror Midnight Scenes, de @octavinavarro.bsky.social y estoy enganchadísimo a estas pequeñas maravillas.
Historias autocontenidas, cortitas pero impactantes; tal y como eran los capítulos de The Twilight Zone o Outer Limits.
Delicatessen jugable.

His worst fears are about to materialize...💀🪦

"It doesn't begin well. When asked about the "scope of the problem" of predators in the application, Baszucki came in shoulders first saying, "We think of it not necessarily just as a problem, but an opportunity as well." Ah, the good ol' opportunities available when your company's product is rife with pedophilia. He continued, outlining how wonderful it is that young people can build and communicate together, how they have "150 million daily actives, 11 billion hours a month, like what is the best way to keep pushing this forward." It is the most astonishingly tone-deaf response."

“I would actually say that is a very simple red flag. Like, that sounds like text filter many prior generations. So I would say the techniques are much more sophisticated than that. We're constantly getting better than that and sometimes it's adversarial. Like, we're getting into, you know, if we cryptographically were going to try to have an exchange of how to share your Snap handle or whatever handle. We see some of that starting, like things we'll have to essentially prevent in the future."

“Fun,” says Baszucki, a man who appears pathologically incapable of reading the room. "Let's keep going down this. And so, first off, Hindenburg is not longer in existence, correct? So, you should report on that. They went out of business for some reason..." He then demanded to know if Newton had researched the answer for himself, before saying that it's because they've moved so much of the safety regulation onto AI, all while sounding absolutely furious that he was being asked. He then demands that Newton agree that if AI is more effective, it's better to use it, and when Newton does, Baszucki starts to behave incredibly immaturely. "Good, so you're aligning with what we did. High-five." Then when Newton tries to ask a question, he interrupts to say, "Thank you for supporting our Roblox decision matrix." Then interrupts yet again to say, "I'm so glad you guys are aligned with the way we run Roblox. High-five." Think he's done? Nope. Yet again he interrupts the question with, "Is this a stealth interview where actually you love everything we're doing and you're here to stealthily support it?"

I forgot to say, earlier today I wrote about the catastrophically disastrous interview the Roblox CEO gave to the NYT about protecting children from predators. It's hard to overstate how badly it went.

Since I evidently still have the critical acclaim juice, if you know of anyone who needs a narrative/content/game designer with technical and management skills, 15 years of experience, acclaim in related fields, and has some other fancy awards like being a Forbes 30 under 30, I’m your guy!

finding out your game got nominated by The Game Awards in the group chat with other folks who got laid off is… just so painfully 2025

i still refuse to back down from my belief that every single living person has the capacity for artistic genius. society-as-profit has just crushed those of us who don't happen to luck out

The Pumpkin House of Horrors Carvings from 1996 to the present.

I didn't think I was going to do a pumpkin this year, but my son wouldn't allow that. So there's a new one up, a little rushy, but still fun:

I've said this about writing and art -- the goal was not to replace writers and artists with AI, the result was either:

a) *threaten* to replace them with AI, and use that as leverage to be able to pay them less

b) replace them unsuccessfully and pay them less to fix the shit the AI barfed out

Ransome the Clown says "Go buy Thimbleweed park, ya' 🍕🐶🚗'n townie!"

Forever charmed by Monkey Island II's iMUSE implementation, Lucasfilm/Arts' sound engine for smoothly and naturally transitioning from the musical beats and moods of one screen to another.

It's something you lose out on in the CD audio based re-releases of this, Dark Forces, and X-Wing/Tie Fighter.
