Sir can I interest you in Expedition 33.

The Buy & Leave may return one day, but for now, thanks for shopping 🥲

amtrak’s marketing team gets it

Aight this was pretty funny 😂

Monthly reminder: Many people have a book in them, but it takes a special kind of freak to leave the Land of Laziness, cross the Plains of Procrastination and Insecurity Mountain, find the Blade of No One Made You Do This, and use it to cut your chest open and yank that book out.

All Final Fantasy is good.

Most Final Fantasy is great.

Your Final Fantasy is best.

It’s hard to express how much fun it’s been to write Sparrow’s dialogue, selfishly my favorite part of the very long, complicated task of making a new Legend.

My dialogue is in there for this season and the next, plus he has special lines with other Legends 👀

Heather is an amazing writer and a joy to work with. She broke the mold when she made Sparrow, and would be an asset to any team lucky enough to have her. If you have any opportunities available, please get in touch with her!

I couldn’t get a good picture of the sword controller used for Sashimi Slayer because—happily—too many people were playing! But it is pretty sweet: youtu.be/CHD0NNFahLk?...

My favorite part of the @officialgdc.bsky.social expo this year was the peripherals. The cat butt, the sword controller, the fully bespoke bowl with chopsticks, the game played entirely inside a shower—just pure creativity and joy.

Y’all. Ride more trains.

I think about this clip a lot these days: youtube.com/clip/UgkxjgY...

Toot toot. GDC awaits.

Sofi vs the rest

Looking through the source code of the Command & Conquer games that EA just released github.com/electronicarts. Some fun stuff in the comments.

Live-reacting to Severance is just an unending stream of HELLY WHAT HELLY WHY

This book is lovely, very Roald Dahl meets Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children. It also feels important during these crazy days

Finally beat this masterpiece and literally all I wanted was for Kim to love me

AWW HELL YES

As a dialogue systems designer, it's the Platonic example of why some sound triggers demand more variety. It's just . . . perfect.

I quote the "Hot Stuff Coming Your Way" skit from X-Play's Shining Force Neo review at least once a month.

Things I love about libraries:

Everyone I meet is a real person.
Not interrupted by ads that get in the way of what I’m try to see.
No algorithms inhibiting my exploration.
My browsing history is not monitored or monetized.

Feel free to add to this list!

From the writer of “I don't know half of you half as well as I should like; and I like less than half of you half as well as you deserve” comes a new rendition of “no u”

Zidane and Garnet had as much in-game PDA as Laguna and Raine (and they had a baby) so I feel like you’re in the clear my friend. 🙏
