whoever decided that sinners should get an imax rerelease deserves a bajillion dollars (I just saw it in 70mm and my life is changed)

mariners won

silksong's position as my favorite game of the year is in jeopardy (I have already played through the skate story demo 3 times)

the undertale anniversary stream has made me really want to replay undertale but I have to finish silksong and then Hades 2 is out the same day as silent hill f and at some point this year skate story releases and then--

great year for horror movies with a single word plural title

that start with the letter s because it definitely isn't a great year for weapons that movie sucked

me, every time I'm on the red line between kendall and mgh and it's nice out: greatest city in the world baby, greatest city in the world

endlessly fucked up that I have to work on deltarune release day, which should be recognized as not just a national holiday but an international holiday

while troubleshooting my snes and retrotink today I had to go into a goddamn discord to solve the problem

good god please bring back forums we're going to lose so much information if we rely on discord for tech support

shooting my shot: run/slide/jump is my movement game that is definitely rough around the edges but will suck you in enough that an hour will pass because you've been looping the same track trying to get it down by .1 second

just saw sinners

not gonna stop thinking about it for a week, minimum

polygon laying off seemingly everyone and being sold to the company that owns fucking cbr is such a gut punch

the games industry is so cool and normal right now

luna moth

it is now more accurate to say "can't stop making ttrpgs"

LET'S GOOOOOOOOOO

while in sf for gdc I finally witnessed transit fare police and good fucking god what a stupid thing to have

Run/Slide/Jump by William Lyons a vaporwave movement shooter (without the shooting)

my first person speedrunning game Run/Slide/Jump just got a major update!

play it for free! just don't blame me if you start playing and suddenly an hour has passed because you've looped the same level over and over trying to improve your best time.

LET'S GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

> red line is fucked north of harvard

> it's a holiday so buses are on a saturday schedule

things are going great and it is easy to get around cambridge and somerville today

scott pilgrim has to be the most talked about but least read comic online. 90% of the people who complain about it have never read more than 4 pages (shared in a viral tweet, of course).

oh and the acela cafe car fucks. I'm a big fan of the cafe cars on the lake shore limited, but dang, this looks so cool.

it's been a while since I've posted about transit and I'm currently on an acela home from a weekend in nyc so here's some thoughts:

- love how vast and interconnected the mta is but I wish the wayfinding was better
- LET'S GO CONGESTION PRICING
- it's so cool to see a system that's always so busy

well I tried but I guess "the same amount as last year" is good enough

same goal this year though, more stuff

if I had a nickel for every time I discovered a movement mechanic in my game run/slide/jump was working absolutely opposite to the way I intended it, I'd have two nickels. which isn't a lot but it's insanely frustrating that it's happened twice

elden ring nightreign is a 3 player co-op roguelite with weapons and bosses from across the souls games.

they need to give me a release date so I can accurately take a month off of work when it comes out

this was posted after a win. since then I have deleted the game for the sin of being a fucking moba.

there's a "what's your un-wokest opinion" tweet going around on twitter and good fucking god the responses are nightmarish. like 99% of the responses are transphobia, and that last 1% is either weird puritanical shit or straight up "we should be able to oppress certain people"

the ending of arcane is bittersweet-- a truly fantastic show is ending, but also I don't have to listen to imagine dragons anymore

man.

deadlock good.

deadlock really good.
