Not an anniversary of anything today, but I'm missing you especially hard right now, Dad.

Dear Mother, what should I play while the baby sleeps? It's never too early to start training a baby gamer, right?

Amanita Design are one of my faves. I must get to the demo soon!

People are the worst. I'm sorry.

Winter Burrow is such a mood! Especially if you get to it closer to the winter season ☃️

Now is the time to play Citizen Sleeper We're all looking for hope in the ruins of (interplanetary) capitalism

Citizen Sleeper brought unexpected hope amidst the darkness that I didn't know I needed when I played it.

Very,very proud of this essay.

Dear Mother, what do you do when the fascists get you down? "When you’re acting in good faith, it’s hard to understand that other people simply aren’t giving you that good faith back."

Happy Resy day to those who celebrate!

I have to be honest, my energy has been lacking, and I haven't got the spirit for Steam Next Fest—thank god for all the excellent gaming writers who have.

Now I just need to read all of their reviews in my inbox.

10 years in, Stardew Valley's binary approach to gender still gets a failing grade We can marry whoever we like in Pelican Town, so why no they/them pronouns?

Stardew Valley turns 10 today! @katyar.bsky.social is here with some critical feedback we really wish the devs would implement. www.mothership.blog/10-years-sta...

A decade in Stardew Valley... and counting Happy birthday, my most-played game of all time.

I've got 695 hours logged in Stardew Valley. You could say I'm a fan.

My latest short post to commemorate the game's 10th anniversary: playingthisweek.substack.com/p/happy-birt...

I love it when the best folks and outlets come together 🙌

Hey.

Tell people when they do good job.

When you like the stuff they make.

When you like the characters they’ve created.

The stories they’ve told.

Nobody hears it as often as you think bc everyone thinks everyone hears it all the time.

Trust. They don’t.

Tell. Them.

I find it so funny (in the best way) that you went to see Stardew Valley in concert just before the game's anniversary and right before my article came out!
