I love that a big part of making a Star Wars game now is: "turning a big dial taht says 'weird character' on it and constantly looking back at the internet for virality like a contestant on the price is right." LIKE IF YOU ALSO REMEMBER TURGLE FROM SW JEDI: SURVIVOR

Adobe Suite getting a vibe-coded knockoff is the perfect storm of "literally everyone in the story is wrong" we haven't gotten in a while!

Essential reporting.

Back in May, Double Fine employees petitioned for a union. Two weeks later, that petition was withdrawn. What happened? https://kotaku.com/inside-the-failed-fight-to-unionize-one-of-gamings-most-idealized-studios-2000742755

I played this game at Adventurex back in.....oh 2023 I think? It was hilarious, really looking forward to it!!

Genuinely surprised me where he's been popping up, and who with. After all these years I'm still naive about people's desire to do the easy and correct thing. It's SO EASY to ignore a game made by a dangerous crank these days. But no.

Making a note of the prominent industry men doing promotional streams with known transphobe Jonathan Blow.

I gave Braid an A+ back in my press days. I spent 100s of hours working on The Witness at PlayStation, fighting for it, getting it into conferences, and being Jon's personal wrangler. I even coined "Metroidbrainia" after it. I will not be buying Order of the Sinking Star, and neither should you.

I was tempted to pirate HP, curiosity and all that. But @jessiegender.bsky.social is right - think of the amount of times HBO commented on GOT leaks and downloads, just as an example. They DO track these things, and even that drives interest. Let this show die. Trans people deserve better.

Yesterday's news about Jacob Geller broke my heart, so much that I couldn't stop dwelling on it all day. In an effort to make sense of this horrific news and my admittedly complicated feelings about it, here is my article on the Jacob Geller situation: epiloguegaming.com/what-do-we-d...

Earlier this week, a friend noticed Jacob Geller’s book, How A Game Lives, sitting amongst my living room shelves. Under almost any other circumstances, this would have been an exciting invitation for...

Andrey Surnov's concept work for Jusant in my brain again this morning. Can't think of a game set among ruins that made me more desperate to see more of its world. So few games manage such an original and rich aesthetic, so sad the team never got to make more.

Reuters got some of the IPO docs. Anthropic is a total dog of a company. Spent $12.6bn to make $4.6bn in revenue in 2025, $7.33bn of which was compute costs. Operating loss of $8bn. Losses getting worse year over year. Amazing stuff www.reuters.com/business/fin...

Yesterday, for a brief moment, I was the tallest (highest?) person in Ireland. Today, my body will not forgive me.

It is crazy to have witnessed the turnaround on this game! Both me & them started our video game projects at the same time, on the same program - Indie Dev 2025 prototype fund, this time last year. Now they've gone ahead & launched it; wild! Fallosophy was masterfully scoped & fun from the start 😁

Had the privilege of working to support this game through our work at @ardan-ie.bsky.social Met the team at Gamescom this year and watched as they turned a relatively small prototype fund into absolute GOLD. Big congrats to the team, can't wait to get my hands on it during the week.
