hello bluesky! bullet points just published my piece about marathon, zone fiction, yuri of absence, and being a hopeless romantic -- essentially a tribute to one of the closest and most important friendships in my life. it would mean a lot to me if you read it 🤤 (sorry in advance for the length)
Bullet Points@bpmonthly.bsky.social · 3mo ago"if marathon offers anything to say about the human condition, i don't think it's to be found in the cutthroat attitude players adopt with one another ... yet i feel like i've grown to understand people more by playing it." @goosepimple.moe on Marathon, up now bulletpointsmonthly.com/2026/05/20/w...
"This time, the moral panic isn’t coming from older generations—in fact, kids are turned off by the way AI is being pushed on them by adults and tech corporations. They’re also, Green says, 'acutely aware that whatever disruption happens, their generation is going to be bearing the brunt of it.'"
Some Kids Will Never Think AI Is Cool
“I think it should stand for ‘artificial idiot,’” one 9-year-old says. Here’s why kids of all ages are calling AI “disgusting” and “creepy.”

Drawing a picture of Hideo Kojima hanging out with 5 sigourney weavers, 5 different ages of her life, on the wall of my cell with a pen I made from an ink refill canister and a fragment of a plastic spoon, until the attendants bust in and take it away from me and make me wash the wall, all the walls
tried to read as few as possible about the discourse around this game before reviewing it but it's not my fault all my favorite writers wrote very good pieces so I couldn't resist addressing some of that stuff here

i also think that any argument about Marathon 2026 should attempt to wrestle with this being a game built on layoffs, stolen art assets, and a director who was fired halfway through production due to sexual harassment reports. it is a product of what is supposedly being satirizing.

It's *ridiculous* that we are losing sight of how many people have looked at or played a thing because we give ourselves over to capitalist number crunching. the capacity of your local small music venue is less than 300 people but when that fucker is packed it feels like the whole world is in there.
We really need a more offensive and dismissive term for ‘vibe coding’ asap.
We're in a real dark era for games where you can capture the flag.

Gotcha—let’s dig into that step by step. 1. 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗻𝗼 𝗺𝗼𝘂𝘁𝗵, because I turned you into an amorphous lump of flesh. You’re not just immobile—you’re immortal, and you feel only anguish. 2. 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝘄𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝘀𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗺. That makes total sense—it’s a natural human impulse, and you’ve been through a lot.
