This was a weird one I just got:

She’s Married to the Architect of Trump’s Darkest Policies. She Wants America to Love Her. It’s Not Going Well. I spent a month in her head. I was surprised by what I found.

The last story I did as a freelancer is finally out!

For @slate.com I took a deep dive into the world of Katie Miller as she sheds her image as government attack dog and rebrands herself "trad-wife-in-chief" for her new podcast

Congratulations once again to Mozart, for being my top artist!

I loved vhs games. I had the California Games one, an Eyewitness News one, and of course Nightmare/Atmosfear “yes my gatekeeper.”

So happy to hear @paulscheer.com talking about the clue vhs game on @hdtgm.bsky.social A game I still say lines from as if they’re references that anyone would get. “White wine doesn’t need to breathe.”

Great article written by @nickhunebrown.bsky.social - an actual human person!

Has a character in a movie or tv show ever gotten an item from a vending machine without it being stuck?

Nice to be warned.

They made it to the fall classic. Who could ask for anything more?

I’m guessing a spy of some kind.

Going through some old notes app notes and found this one, pitches for a mobile narrative game I was working on that, well, you can see the direction it was going in…

Just now realizing the tooth fairy was invented to prevent kids from all having weird, creepy collections of their teeth. Seems like almost all cultures have some way of getting rid of those teeth!

Wish I cared about anything as much as my phone cares about my missing airpods.

Every morning on the way to school we stop to watch this mechanical dinosaur eat some more of this building.

My Blue Prince obsession continues unabated.

Yes!

Rolled credits on Blue Prince. Day 28. Just getting started.

I think it’s closer to Balatro or even Inscryption where at fuse it just feels like your runs are ending quickly and you’re not getting anywhere but then you start to learn some tricks, get some unlocks, and you start having great runs.

RNG should be added to the list of phrases struck from the record when talking about games.

My experience has been that each run has presented at least one new discovery. Each time I start again I get that feeling of excitement.

Not every game is for everyone of course but with Blue Prince if you can approach it with less a feeling of needing to get something done and more just about discovery, you might find it opens up. Eventually the roguelike nature kind of falls away.

Yes! I keep having those “whoa, wait a minute” moments.

Totally agree. Similar in some ways to Elden Ring, where if you were stuck on an enemy, you could just go elsewhere.

8 hours in and Blue Prince is occupying my every waking moment, it’s all I can think about. I’m sure I’ll dream about it tonight too.

Whenever reality show contestants walk into the shity condo they have to stay in: “wow, this place is amazing.”

I feel like every colour should have its own special day.

A roguelike game where, at the end of each run, you get points based on the number of people who show up at your funeral.

Willem Dafoe in far away so close and spider-man is pretty close.
