(voice of someone with a backlog 1000 games long) i really gotta replay nier and nier automata sometime

it has its quirks but I respect it's narrative ambitions a ton and really do think its a great time after its updates! the updated version also has a genuinely very novel combat system. i'd really recommend it if you're a fan of RPGs and/or games with very experimental storytelling!

most of these are games that really broadened my tastes in terms of what i value from the medium, or at the very least left me with a fun story or memories that i still think back on fondly! the yiik that's here is specifically the version of yiik after the i.v update. important clarification

my nine games! i love trends like these but they're always very hard for me cuz I have a hard time weighing the things i like against each other. i think i got a lot of my personal heaviest hitters though!

the work continues

Work from last month (this month has not been good), of a small board game sequence being planned. Poppin & Jupa have to reach 4 candles on a track, most spaces requiring a mini-game. Something will chase them.

THIS IS WHAT SAM ALTMAN WANTS TO TAKE FROM YOU

"TOY STORY II: a sequel to Toy Story" by splendidland. two bell shaped clay figures of warriors are standing.

i've made a new comic called "TOY STORY II: a sequel to Toy Story".

I always forget to what degree Ultrakill is one of the games of all time until I'm actively playing it. That new update is insane

The trailer for the Gun Nose kickstarter is *very* good.

the context in which Matt realizes the plot of the movie has kicked in (being vague for spoilers sake) is one of the funniest gags I have seen in a theater

Nirvana the Band the Show the Movie was kinda everything I was hoping it would be. It was almost surreal to see what felt like a new, very long episode to a show I have rewatched so extensively. I'm really happy it was such a good time and hope it's success means we might get that third season

im so glad that you can drink as many sugar free monsters as you want without needing to ever worry about anything

relaxed the rules for switching the active party member and accidentally introduced tag combos

this video game came to me in a dream once and i felt compelled to recreate it

the first of these was a really pleasant surprise! plenty of great characters and some really charming bits that play around with its own structure. I'm happy to see it's getting a sequel

After two years of hard work, my first commercial video game Black Cat Bundle is now yours for five dollars! I hope you enjoy playing it as much as I enjoyed making it! #gamedev #pixelart

How To Help if You are Outside Minnesota Last edited January 22, 2026 I’m going to assume that if you’re reading this, you more or less understand the situation in Minnesota and I don’t have to explain it to you! That sa…

If you’re outside of Minnesota and you’re wondering how to help, this guide is excellent.

And seriously. Take down your Ring doorbell TODAY.

I can't believe they never let him out of there..

the point of a game is not to beat it, it is to play it. difficulty is only "a problem" if it is "in the way" of beating the game, which is an issue in the mindset of the player, not in the structure of the game. redoing parts of a fun game is not a punishment, it's an invitation to hang out

my resolution is to allow myself reasonable time to tackle making the art that I wanna put into the world more than anything else and to be patient with myself while getting that done

2025 was rough for me in a lot of ways, but I feel like it's allowed me to enter 2026 with a perspective on what I value from the stuff I create and knowledge on overcoming the creative pitfalls I've fallen into many times. In an arms-length personal sense I'm really looking forward to this year

Might actually be my favorite movie

I released "BREAK 10", my Flash and DSiWare inspired platformer where you only have 10 seconds to complete each level.
