I think the incredible pain of discussing the systems and economies of these games to outsiders is a significant contributor to the lack of regulations and outrage around them.

I just described a game as "Very Problematic, but a part of my childhood" and realized that applied equally well to various music, movies, books, TV shows, DJs, and condiments.

This is a bummer. NCSX was my introduction to the world pf gaming beyond my local Best Buy or GameStop. Their daily stock updates were the kind of discoverability tool game devs are begging for these days.

Yesterday I went looking for some Christmas-themed game-related patent art. The patent database fates decided that no, I would only find this instead.

They're planning a "Remix" console that's just a module dock that plugs into a PC and is cheaper for it. Way behind schedule of course, but I'd love to see it take off. The product is great, just too pricey and in short supply right now.

When I wrote up the endearingly goofy Study Group for the annual staff picks article at The Logic, I didn't think they'd actually run it. They wound up making it the headline image on the round-up. Read up on it and a bunch of other great stuff. No paywall on this one!

Alice has now seen “Wake Up Dead Man” which means now I can talk about “Wake Up Dead Man” as approximately one million of you have asked me to do. intermittent live-blog in the quoted thread. gay Catholic musings below:
