it feels impossible and unreal but I lost the closest and longest relationship I have ever had with another human on this earth. My children lost their mother who was the biggest part of their world. Everyone one loved Gita and we will miss her dearly. gofund.me/dd54f2acf

Today we have something special: a newly translated interview from July 1996 between Shigeru Miyamoto and Kenji Eno! Conducted just weeks after the launch of Mario 64, Eno takes Miyamoto to task (in a friendly way) with several fascinating critiques of its design. shmuplations.com/miyamotoxeno/

just thankful that double fine no longer has to put up with this
Thinking about Satoru Iwata today, for some reason.
Jason Schreier@jasonschreier.bsky.social · last mo.I want to re-emphasize one part of this Xbox story: Half of the 3,200 cuts are happening today and half are happening in the next 12 months. In other words, even people who survived today's layoffs will have to spend the coming year wondering if they're going to be next.

For @aftermath.site, I reviewed the Steam Machine. It costs $1049 base. It is beautifully designed. It might be one of the most important computers ever made, launched at the worst time imaginable. aftermath.site/steam-machin...
The Steam Machine Is An Iconoclastic Computer Born In Unforgiving Times
Valve has released a tiny, silent, entry level PC that does important work bringing PCs gaming to the living room and desktop Linux to the masses. The timing could not be worse.

For those who don't know Velan, it is comprised of Vicarious Visions veterans who left as Activision began to hollow that studio out and turn it into a support studio for Call of Duty. Good for them.

it turns out i did review that bond game after all! it's got a bunch of charm and excellent little moments that manage to shine through through a bland blockbuster structure. which is pretty much a direct adaptation of both the strengths and flaws of your average Bond Film:
007 First Light Review: A Playable But Flawed James Bond Movie
IO Interactive's James Bond origin story mostly excels as a playable movie but struggles under the weight of some grander ambitions

Genuinely, this concern about AI is one of the reasons why I think having friction in video games is good and why it's increasingly important to have games that simply exist instead of catering to our expectations. Reposting this message from Kojima about "pre-digested" art:
Andrew Hinton 😷🧡@andrewhinton.bsky.social · 2mo ago“The Al is not just telling you what you want to hear. It is training you, one conversation at a time, to need less friction, expect more agreement, and become slightly less capable of handling a situation where someone pushes back on you”
Every now and then I think about UFO 50 and am reminded that it is one of the best indie games of all time. I don't even hesitate to say that. There's no 'Except' or 'But'. It's just a stone cold classic that really deserves to be ten times as well known. And it's still relatively unknown!
