Sometimes I can get away with starting with a new save and playing until I get the hang of it again; then I can re-load my old save and pick up from there.
But I tried getting back into The Last Story, and it was hopeless.
All these companies are like "We can't just turn these chatbot services off," really, I'm old enough to remember Vine
I dare any reporter to purposefully mispronounce his name when addressing him: Mar-kwan-ye. Like in that Key and Poole sketch.
Sanders said the city has had to hire staff just to work on the constant negotiations. "Having four contracts is quite a pickle that you have put us in with having us have this many contracts to manage," Sanders said. "We're in a perpetual state of constantly negotiating. That is the reality. We finish one and we move to the next one. And sometimes we have Two at the same time."
I really do not love the negative energy towards collective bargaining that city and city school leaders publicly routinely express. It trickles down to their management staff, who then blame unions for problems that are in fact management’s responsibility to solve.
just realised that Operation Epic Fury fits into this but i can't find the meme generator anywhere

hey i know the charlottesville school district wants us to shut up about their terrible, expensive plan to put cops back in our schools but what if, instead: we didn't
Life moves so fast. Take a breath and slow things down, like a group of people walking five abreast at the airport.
It's time for more Moonmist. Most contemporary players resent the paratext. Why is that?

That’s fair. (This is actually the first time I’ve encountered someone his work has helped!)
How much of his likeability comes from objectively making the world better, and how much of it is just PR, though?

"Great question, Croesus! While my status as a delphic model prevents me from elaborating further, I can affirm that by going to war with Persia you *will* destroy a mighty empire. Would you like me to write this up as a set of daily affirmations, or perhaps you'd like a list of mighty empires?"

Should players have complete control over a game's story?
Some designers prefer responding to player decisions with surprise and entertainment.

Great report from @jacksonwryan.com about this mess. To show you all how frustrating this has been -- ClickOut Media's GamesHub still lists me as an active "Games & Tech Editor", and I'm placed alongside their fake AI 'writers'. I've asked them to stop, but these sites are desperate for credibility.
Awful big talk for a guy who lost three f-15s to friendly fire this morning.
If you’ve ever wanted to hit vegetables with a sword, I have great news for you!

Forgotten Tavern, "A sort of mash-up of IF, a dungeon grinder, a world-building strategy game, a roguelike game and one of those games you play on your phone where you have to make burgers or hotdogs to order. Sort of."

Adding insult to injury with that "have you noticed any reduction in service?"
Anyone who has endured layoffs knows that the remaining workers are expected to pick up the slack without complaint. The reduction in services happens right at the end of the death spiral.
Screenshot of a Mastodon post from June 2025, before ICE agents killed two people in Minneapolis, stating "The fact that no ICE agents have been shot yet seems both a statistical absurdity and proof they aren't really going after criminals."
As true today as when it was written.
Our next game is Verminsteel!

I looked at so many WW2 airplanes when designing the cockpit for the ship. I still really love how it (and the game) came out.
I am seeing SO much doom and gloom on social media about how there's no good games in this Next Fest, and how it's all just AI slop.
This is not the case. But while I can partly attribute to this being a skill issue, the larger issue is that Steam's interface and recommendations are getting worse.
