Heart of the Machine is a fascinating, timeline-hopping strategy RPG A grand strategy game that asks "What if AI was good?"

Holy hell. Heart of the Machine hit 1.0 this week. I adore Arcen's games so much. There’s just nothing like them. Can't wait to dig in now that it's out of EA.

I have a short list of games to play if I ever find myself feeling adrift and close to the top is always "another Haque run."

But hell yes, Dungeon Encounters rules. It's such a brilliant and tight design.

Heart of the Machine is Crusader Kings for speculative sci-fi nerds, flipping the script on the cult AI War series Skynet, Ultron or Shodan—Heart of the Machine lets you roleplay your dream machine overlord.

My little hands-on piece about Heart Of The Machine is up on PC Gamer now.

There's a lot to wrap your head around here (your first 10 hours or so are all tutorial, after which the game REALLY opens up), but it's already Arcen's most impressive game yet, and there's at least a year of growth to come

I’m very upset, but I’ve got nothing of substance to contribute to the conversation on this platform. When you see me posting through it about random stuff, don’t confuse it for apathy.

Let me be clear, we don't want quartermasters in this military. We want whole masters.

my little essay in this is called “I Would Like to Be Included in this Narrative” and it’s about casting as a technique in procedural storytelling to create granular, personalized moments

an edited screenshot of Shin Megami Tensei Nocturne, where Max (from Sam and Max) is dressed as a jack frost from SMT. he stands before the demi-fiend and says "When I die, I'm taking you with me."

What do you mean the US ran out of missiles? What's the point of teachers buying their own school supplies if we don't have infinite missiles forever?

I just want to note, for the record, that archaeological evidence shows South America had known how to make popcorn for about 2,000 years at this point

you ever look back with immense sorrow and pity at the needlessly bitter but intensely pursued agendas of people trapped in a world they don't realize is preparing to die in a frenzy

Don’t let anyone tell you that this unhinged war of aggression the United States and Israel just instigated against Iran is justified.

small brain: free markets produce free press

normal brain: consolidation of media into monopolies makes the press unfree

large brain: despite media consolidation, media consumption is more diverse than ever

galaxy brain: media fucked because of phone
