It’s so disappointing to see all the "puzzle game" youtubers I watch rush to collaborate with Jonathan Blow. It’s a niche of videos I love to watch, and unfollowing all those people make me sad. Not as sad as seeing them promote Jonathan "women are genetically less fit for game design" Blow, though.

I have used the "don’t recommend channel" maybe five times before 2026. I must be nearing triple digits now. At least I’m using the feature more, I guess that’s something.

What’s the german word for "learning about a drama you’re very opinionated about one full month after it’s occurred so it’s way too late for you to give your opinion and you can just browse through the past drama while being increasingly annoyed by what you read"?

Ask @mixmyu.bsky.social and @bloupeuh.bsky.social for your speedrun commentaries, you won’t regret it. (But you might die because of them, allegedly.)

I'll be on commentary for Yolanda (ran by @senen42.bsky.social) and, right after, Jaws Unleashed (ran by Lele) at this year's Big Bad Game-a-thon in like an hour or so 👀🦈 It's a very fun speedrun event that makes you question your understanding of video games (and the sick minds who make them)!!!

Finally had the opportunity to try Vroom with friends and damn, Antonin Boccara might be my favourite party game designer. Fiesta de los muertos, Focus and Vroom are all so cleverly crafted. I love how it very obviously takes from an already beloved games but twist them in a cohesive way.

"Librarian: Tidy Up the Arcane Library!" is such a neat little game, let’s look at what its speedrunning community has done with the game, that might be a fun little speedrun project... Welp, nevermind.

For anyone wondering "what’s the nice project that’s being ruined by egotripping mods and genAI glazers today?" the answer seems to be Archipelago.

I literally just peaked at the Scritchy Scratchy thread on the AP server and the mods are ripping someone apart for asking if gen AI is used in the AP world and other AP worlds they’re interested in playing. Jesus fucking christ something needs to change on that server.

Speedrunner pro tip: When you get a new PB and you bop someone, make sure you let them know IMMEDIATELY! Tag them on social media/discord or send them a DM. I also recommend saying something like "lol it wasnt even that hard" so they know you really mean business!

I can't exactly take that to the bank, but I feel like there's a cumulative positive force behind that. And when I say "feel" I don't mean like in a wishy-washy way - there is a tangible effect that comes from that.

I've never been review bombed per se, probably because you can't review bomb someone who's never designed a game, but can confirm that speaking out has lead to burned bridges and people completely shutting you out. It's also lead to many people just being grateful and remembering that sacrifice.

Eric Lang@ericlang.bsky.social · 4mo ago

One price of speaking publicly about social issues you care about Is that your creative output gets forever review bombed by the worst people on the internet. And you'll consistently get the advice "well maybe you should have just shut up and dribbled" from folks on the sidelines.

Time to listen to some Rocky Horror again.

Update Speedons : Je ferai UN commentaire là-bas. Je voulais faire un thread sur cette décision, mes questionnements, mon positionnement vis-à-vis de Speedons et de MdM, etc. Mais 50 brouillons supprimés plus tard on est à j-1 et tant pis.

Because of the National driver register, since their licenses are suspended, trans folks cannot move to another state and get a new license until they remove the suspension on their existing Kansas license. They can't even escape this by moving to another state.

Alejandra Caraballo@esqueer.net · 8mo ago

Kansas is sending letters to trans people telling them that their licenses will be revoked as of tomorrow and that they risk arrest for driving on a suspended license. This is pure cruelty. www.erininthemorning.com/p/kansas-sen...

@bloupeuh.bsky.social et moi on a une vision très con de la Saint Valentin, si vous voulez venir voir comment on met du piment dans notre couple...

JPP@jppspeedrun.bsky.social · 8mo ago

Ce soir, c'est la Saint Kuso, alors on se retrouve tout de suite sur Twitch pour fêter ça ! Au programme : un couple, trois jeux, 20 minutes à chaque fois... Qui l'emportera ? Est-ce que l'amour triomphera ? Tant de questions, la réponse ici : www.twitch.tv/jpp_speedrun

Sur une toute autre note, les submits de JPP aussi terminent ce soir, pensez à envoyer les votre si c’est pas encore fait. 👀

Senen@senen42.bsky.social · 9mo ago

Pour l’instant je suis trop épuisé pour savoir quoi faire. Alors je me dis que si à la fermeture des submits je vois que Speedons a ses 600 submits, peut-être je pondrais des submits à l’arrache pour me donner 1 mois de pluss de réflexion...

Il reste plus que 2 jours pour le faire en ligne, oubliez pas c'est plus qu'important

Will provide emotional support (and maybe a bit of commentary) for @senen42.bsky.social's run of Windswept which is next in line @ ICE Breakers 🦆🐢 The cause is sooo important Please, donate if you can! 💻 - www.twitch.tv/reallyreally... 💰 - donate.mwsf.gg/ui/donate/ic... Fuck ICE, fuck fascism! 🧊🔨

The cause is super important. The charity is local and small and will absolutely use it for good actions. But also... having my run sandwiched between a @tghsr.stream run and a @shovda.bsky.social run is absolutely wild for me. I can’t overstate how stacked this event is.

LET'S RAISE SOME FUCKING MONEY FOR MINNESOTA ABOLISH ICE IMMEDIATELY twitch.tv/reallyreallylongathon

It sucks because I believe Speedons has upheld -- and will uphold -- many important values of inclusivity in the event. If you want to be there and add representation, after all of what was discussed by @speedonnons-mieux.bsky.social, I think you should make that enlightened decision.

I have to disclose that this decision was rather easy for me to make, I come from a place of privilege where I can choose which marathon to go to. I also felt like other people could have gone there, but now I'm a bit anxious about the kinds of people who will submit and have their runs accepted.

On that topic, since I did not really talk about it, but it needs to be said: I will not be a part of Speedons this year. I think it is healthy to give it a year to observe how Medecins du Monde behaves. It will be simpler for me to focus on the Fastest Furs events instead, restreaming and all 🙂
