fia!

thank you for the teto i eat it up yum yum yum

life is a series of inconveniences but there's a beauty in the stutters

i think a hill im willing to die on is that consoles shouldn't have rest modes purely so that both console makers themselves make better interfaces, and developers have to start making good main menus again

if i had any amount of spare time at the moment i'd dig into this further, but i just need everyone who didn't like the ending to know that they're wrong, ok thanks!

on firewatch's 10th anniversary i just want to say that the ending was good, actually, and that the anti-climactic quality is literally the point, it is a game about escaping from being kind of a crummy person and realising you need to face sad, boring reality

David Lynch holding a cola can, with a garland of flowers around his neck, sitting in a car. The original caption is him saying "I just had two cookies and a coke. It's phenomenal." But it's been edited to say "two cookies and a Gaza cola", and the coke has been replaced in photoshop with a can of Gaza Cola

On Monday 2 February at 6pm GMT, grab two cookies and a Gaza Cola, and join us for Game Assist’s first ever video podcast! We talk about David Lynch’s influence on games and the politics of the surreal for 3 hours, and we’ve even made some skits for you… Link to the premiere in reply!

Announcing Bog Bodies from Dreamfeel!

A "short hike”-alike 3d adventure set in a far future Ireland populated only by radioactive talking cats.

Players explore a late 19th c inspired landscape full of strange characters and stories...

Video games do not cause violence. But we as an industry are clearly not ready to have a conversation about how we've normalized a military fantasy

Doing a micro-fundraiser, if anyone can send over a few bucks (or pounds, or what have you) to help with me getting public transportation while doing job-hunt stuff, I'd omega appreciate it!

Hi folks, our little dog has become pretty sick pretty rapidly and we're staring down the barrel of some gnarly bills at the vet. Given that we've got a 3 week old baby, the timing is, uhh, not great. If you've got a couple quid to spare my KoFi is linked here

Wild to think it'll be my birthday in five days, though I'll be spending most of it in psychotherapy class...

But if you ever want to help me out during a challenging time (no luck in job-hunting), any ko-fi dono would be greatly appreciated, but only what you can manage!

missed that the bab had been born, big congrats evan, hope all is well with yourself, your partner and the lil one!!

A slide that reads "Presenting games primarily as consumer products undermines arguments to preserve and make them accessible as an art form." from a MAGFest panel. That panel from the Dark Knight Returns where he breaks the gun also is on there.

That's what I'm talking about.

i think parts of this game were laser targeted at my soul?
a degree of parallels i find almost uncomfortable
except those are the feelings!!! and they're better to feel than nothing at all

what a beautifully imperfect game that is bolder than literally any big, AAA game released this year
an ode to hating yourself, and feeling like you don't have enough time, and finding satisfaction In The Moment not The Result

oh man, unbeatable... turns out rhythm games are quite hard to play while trying to hold back way too many tears

Nearly half of the journalists killed this year were murdered in Gaza by Israel.

Since the beginning of its genocide, Israel has killed more than 270 Palestinian journalists and media workers.
