Just rolled the credits in Silksong! After 51 hours. I still have lots to do though. Maybe after a break Iโ€™ll get back to it.

Also I never finished Hollow Knight so at some point I want to go do that.

Complaining about cancel culture in Riyadh is one of the best examples I've seen of how "free speech culture" rots the brain.

Level Design at Naughty Dog #Blocktober 2025

Happy #Blocktober! It's been a while since I've done something so I decided to write another blog about #LevelDesign. medium.com/@arnaldo42/l...

Tonight on a NY1 interview, Andrew Cuomo described Zohran Mamdani as "an existential threat" to New Yorkers and the Democratic Party. I can't say strongly enough that this is despicable, dangerous, irresponsible language. I've never held Cuomo in high esteem; let this election be his banishment.

I beat Blue Prince on day 26! Had a really fortuitous run where a bunch of things went right to make it happen.

Finally got around to playing Blue Prince. Iโ€™ve enjoyed it, but progress is glacial. Iโ€™m at day 20 and itโ€™s starting to get tedious. Not sure how much more patience I have for the randomness.

We hear a lot about boys getting radicalized online, and not enough about how to stop it.

This is good video with 5 specific things parents/adults can do:

You can do it! Sheโ€™s hard but youโ€™ll start to recognize her predictable patterns. That was the first boss where I started to think of the runback as the bossโ€™s first phase :)

I found her to be really rewarding. At first she seemed impossible and then by the time I beat her I was dodging everything

We really need a trans anti-defamation league that is laser focused on making the lives of people who make shit up about us as miserable as legally possible. The omnicause has enough organizations. One specifically for this purpose isn't going to make or break Middle East peace.

Yeah me too. Like, my gender hasnโ€™t changed nearly as much as my sex characteristics. I have a whole new sex hormonal makeup and more besides that.

Yeah there were some pretty weird box art decisions back then. Maybe Alucard is just too sexy? In the nineties a lot of game promotion was hyper masculine and homophobic.

It's not lost on me in the midst of this eulogizing and memorializing a monster that my home state, Florida, has made it a crime to commemorate or remember the victims of the Pulse massacre.

In America, only some deaths are considered grievable. The rest of us are just "collateral damage."

How I just beat the Last Judge in Silksong tonight. That runback was brutal btw.

Tonight I played Silksong with a cat on my chest. Last night I played with a baby on my chest. Highly recommended.

Charlie Kirk spent his lifeโ€˜s work and all of his energy and time targeting out-groups while arguing for a world in which gun massacres would be easy to enact, plentiful, and inevitable, and he became famous and wealthy doing it, and weโ€™re now not supposed to mention that because itโ€™s not polite.

Northern Ireland man from Lisburn kidnapped by Trumpโ€™s Ice raids because he โ€œlooked like a Mexicanโ€. He had the correct visa, all his documents. Heโ€™s never been in trouble with police.

Held in terrible conditions. A fellow captive couldnโ€™t get his medication and dropped dead of a heart attack
