I live in Texas with a novelist and our dogs. I design spacecraft to bring anyone to space. I used to write and podcast about video games.
From Physics Today (physicsworld.com/a/francis-ha...): ‘When asked what he will do for the rest of today, Halzen replied “I’m working on a proposal. I hope this prize will help get it approved.”’

Got some of the original IGN gang together. These guys covered videogames in the ‘90s, when Mario 64 and Zelda: Ocarina of Time released. When magazines ruled and Internet “dotcom” was under its heel. Full episode soon w/ @mattcasa.bsky.social and @craigharris.bsky.social
Well Dweller is, Well, Amazing. Truly one of those unexpected engrossing Metroidvanias that dissects the conventions of the genre and gives it its own twist. The little tweaks made it a joy to jump back into its dour world every night. My review for @nintendonwr.bsky.social 👇 youtu.be/vtKBQ7Vf71s

that chatbot doing that unsafe/violative thing is not it 'going rogue' or an 'unfortunate incident of unintended consequences,' it’s the logical and devastating consequences of an unsafe product put out by irresponsible companies that have been conditioned to believe consequences dont exist for them
Hi, I'm looking to speak to people who have left games journalism in the last few years and have gone onto do something else. DMs are open, or luke@aftermath.site, thanks!
Jennifer Hale once told me Canadians need to champion ourselves more. I wholeheartedly agree. Over the past few months, I reached out to dozens of Canadian devs to learn their favourite Canadian games. Their varied responses offer a wonderful spotlight on some of the incredible talent we have here.🍁
These are must-play Canadian games, according to Canadian devs
As Canadians, we don't champion ourselves enough, so we asked dozens of game developers to do just that.

Reminder that in Canada upon becoming an engineer you get an iron ring made of a collapsed bridge, purposely designed to be uncomfortable, to remind you that your ethics demand you give a fuck even about the boring grudgework of such as double-checking your math. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iron_Ring

Matt Ford@handle.invalid · 2w agoEzra Klein asked Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang about AI making kids worse at math and reading. Huang’s reply: “Does it matter?” Then he said he doesn’t know his own address or phone number. “We’re going to lose some fine intellectual dexterity.” www.nytimes.com/2026/09/23/o...
On John Colltrane’s 100th birthday, I share this fascinating animation of the (MANY) notes in “Giant Steps”. Not my very favorite of his songs, but I keep coming back to this video. youtu.be/2kotK9FNEYU?...

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but The Vampire Lestat on AMC+ is one of the best series I’ve ever seen. However, you should first watch Interview with the Vampire (two great seasons). The new show’s style and perspective are wildly different, but the characters and storylines are continuous.
Even though the Halo franchise has been gutted for failing to meet unrealistic expectations, at least Bungie, the original creators of Halo, have also been separately gutted for failing to meet unrealistic expectations

Is this going to cost less later? I’m already a few games behind on JRPGs so reticent even for such an acclaimed title in a series that’s totally new to me.

Fun facts about the eShop this week: - This was the first week ever to have more Switch 2 games in North America than the launch week (27 v 24) - The Switch eShop ended the week with 77 new releases for the second time in three weeks - I need a f**king drink

Same here. I didn’t make it halfway through the last Fire Emblem I bought — too much texty nonsense, which is now the most popular aspect of the franchise.
Justin D. Berube@jusdberube.bsky.social · 3w agoI think at this point my ideal Fire Emblem game would be the characters never talking except for at the beginning, middle, and end of the game. Bosses can have witty short banter. And nothing related to school in any game ever again even outside of Fire Emblem.
I have an unconventional solution to the loneliness crisis and the erasure of third spaces...
I love the videos we've started producing this year, where @jtsknight92.bsky.social finds something interesting in our library and goes down a rabbit hole, teaching you how to research along the way. Also, look at the comments! It turns out intelligent content builds intelligent communities, weird.
