Livid and extremely sad to see that the most important institution in Victoria's game culture couldn't get the support it needs to run, already making do with shoestring budgets and incredible amounts of thankless, unpaid work. I love Freeplay, I owe it everything, and I refuse to let its spirit die
An update: Unfortunately Freeplay didn’t secure multi-year funding and is potentially looking at its last year of operation. We’re exploring what comes next & want your input.

I regret to inform7 you ma'am but your son is dead. Your son is found in the Grey Hallway. The description of your son is "a poor soul who died in these hallowed halls." The son is wearing a backpack. The backpack is openable and closed.

the "we need to ban the internet for X Y Z" is an incredibly boomer policy created out of a situation where these people have abdicated their responsibility to actually craft meaningful policy that addresses bigotry, abuse, poverty, and dense and affordable urban community. thatcher lives

do we really need to keep coming up with new names for the cheat menu. do we have to keep massaging the term (in the interest of getting ahead of tedious people: i think this is a good addition video games should have cheats again, just call a spade a spade you know)
Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade PS5/PC versions will get an update next Thursday to add Streamlined Progression options (as featured in Switch 2/Xbox versions coming out on the same day)

last year i kept being in situations where i was in a room to rest or talk to ppl, and other people would (without asking me if it was ok or even really being aware of me being there at all) do audible kink stuff with each other. so far there's been none of that this year, hopefully therell be none!

it's insane that i see so many people talk about how much algorithmic slop and for you pages suck, and then when someone moves over to bluesky people also recommend you add a feed that gives you that experience. not having an addictive for you feed here is an (unintentional) positive feature!

Yay, Angeline Era is Overwhelmingly Positive (& 88 meta!)! It'd be a great subject for a design video essay.

the number one rule of twitter and its descendants is that individuals make posts with no context, to no one, as one off thoughts. but the audience reads posts in the context of every other post that has come before and with responsibility for every post that comes after

It takes joy and turns it into vindictive glee; it takes self-reliance and turns it into solipsistic psychosis; it turns love into smothering assault, pride into humiliation, families into traps, safety into paranoia, peace into discontent. It turns people into people who do not see people as people

my new years resolution is 480p. if someone releases a game this year and its text isn't legible at 480p we are teleporting them to the foggy woods and only letting them out once they complete 10000 sokoban puzzles (they have to push the blocks by hand and they're really heavy)
