And I'll tell you what: Survival-Mode SUCKS. I've spent some time there, and it's no fun whatsoever. We need real change to make people's lives better. It's totally doable. If we don't fund the war machine or allow criminals to loot our government.

If the demo isn't enough to whet your appetite, you should come by my stream on Thursday the 5th, where I'll be giving people a sneak peek at the brilliant puzzles in this game. Of course, I'm not going to show off everything. There's a few places I won't touch. You'll have to find those yourself.

My solo developed first person horror adventure game, The House Dreams Along With Them, will officially be released on November 10th, 2026! Here's the announcement trailer I created for the occasion: youtu.be/YRn2FUZmD4o (You can try the demo now on Steam) #THDAWT #gamedev

I think I might be at the tail end of my streaming career. It was fun while it lasted, but it's just not paying the bills anymore. I'm mentally, emotionally, and physically exhausted and I'm trying so hard not to fall into despair or panic.

We, internationally, need to do exactly what the Brazilians did and lead by example with: 1) Block all far right figures/accounts 2) Never share a far right account even to dunk on them 3) Never reply to a far right account even to dunk on them Completely cut their algorithmic advantage

Be someone's reason to smile today. Do it again tomorrow. Do it again the day after that. The world is a mean, cruel, heartless place. That smile you give someone may be exactly what they needed most in that moment. Practice kindness. Show that Love is Real.

Sometimes it's hard to keep going. Sometimes I find myself wanting to give up. But I won't. I can't. Someone out there might still need me. Might still want me around. Someone out there still needs you. Still wants you around. Stay around for them.

An aspect of 'NiGHTS' I appreciate even more now is just how progressive it was for 1996! Both NiGHTS and Reala are intentionally genderless, and I've seen comments for years from trans gamers on what this game meant to them as kids. The quotes about this from the devs are also just *𝘤𝘩𝘦𝘧'𝘴 𝘬𝘪𝘴𝘴*

NiGHTS, the protagonist of the game, appears middle of the screen in front of a cityscape at night. Clad in a mostly purple, jester-like outfit, smirking. Reala, a reddish/purple clad jester-like character flying in front of the Moon in NiGHTS Into Dreams artwork. An interview excerpt with game developers Yuji Naka and Takashi Iizuka discussing the thematic meaning behind the game NiGHTS into Dreams.

The text reads:
"-Is there anything you're trying to convey to people through NiGHTS?
Naka: If people play NiGHTS and it gives them an opportunity to introspect and think about themselves, that would be great. That's the kind of image we had in our mind when we created the character Nights.
Iizuka: There's another "you" inside yourself that you may have forgotten or buried. You can go on adventures with this dream persona, and through them, you can reconstruct your own self- image. And that's the very experience Elliot and Claris have as dreamers in NIGHTS."

Every time something else I love(d) gets tainted by generative AI, more and more of my soul dies. Every time I see something generative AI, it reduces my will to live. Can we replace "vibecoded" with "slopcoded"?

"But the handicapped need cars!" No, what they need are options in mobility. The tech exists to enable their freedom of independent mobility, but almost always what is lacking is the enabling infrastructure. Bike lanes and quality sidewalks serve everyone.
