Normally it's much easier for me to write about things I hate so I tried to write about something I really liked spodeymun verticalslice5.wordpress.com/2025/05/22/t...

The Boundless Empathy of Spiderman 2 (the video game, not the film, though that probably also applies there)

Spoilers for the whole game So I played through Spiderman 2 last month or so—really bashed through it on some of the hottest days of the year, almost melted my GPU—and it slaps. It has major techni…

I've seen some vocally anti-AI people recently make an anti-AI post and be surprised there are still pro-AI people following them, and I can explain this; most pro-AI people think they are somehow the exception. the way THEY are using it, SURELY you would take no issue! well, we do. so fuck off.

Post a sequel that really hits The darksiders games are for dorks like me, and 2 prefects the balance of all the elements it brazenly stole and adds a whole bunch of seamless rpg stuff. Plus, bangin soundtrack by Jesper Kyd and an overcool art style

Post a sequel that really hits! Playing through Assassin's Creed II for the first time immediately after I somewhat struggled through AC1 was sheer ecstasy. One of those games where sometimes I'd just sit back and waves of bliss would wash over me.

This is kind of the inevitable end of paid higher ed, it stops being education and becomes transactional, massive debt for life in exchange for the job-get paper

“Massive numbers of students are going to emerge from university with degrees, and into the workforce, who are essentially illiterate…Both in the literal sense and in the sense of being historically illiterate and having no knowledge of their own culture, much less anyone else’s.”

I don't think I've talked about it properly so here's the game I'm making! The Heir of Thorlath, a sort of text based RPG type deal about power and how it doesn't want to be shared. (Ignore the couple bits of placeholder art)

A far away view of a tired city of white marble. It has a great bridge reaching out to the nearby cliff, and is circled by many birds. The text says 'A long road has brought you here, and a long road, only, would take you back.'An old, bald priest, Yezekael, speaking: 'This saint of their was the first to transform. To ascend. And this is the hope of every religious soul in this city, apparently.' He is stood in a black church, lit by stained glass windows.A view of the main square. A pub to the left, an obsidian church to the right, an old statue in the middle. The statue reads 'Until at last, desert desists/ Our Son, our Sire, perceives his prize-/ An obsidian vale, caressed by cloud/ 'There will my kingdom rise.''A short woman stood in front of a scattering of half carved stone. Her name is Yavannah. Wait, shit, I haven't changed the name there, ah well. She says 'She had to present him with a wedding gift, and so she picked up tools for the first time and made him the statue. It's a statue of love. Or of dedication, maybe.'

Okay, so, Mall Sim, one of those management games about running a retail space but then over time it becomes a dead mall and then it gets haunted and it's about managing ghosts

The continuing saga of things I didn't get in New Vegas when I was 12: Patriot's Cookbook, the explosives increasing magazine, obviously a play on Anarchist's Cookbook.
