I've already got next Sunday's newsletter ready and I can't wait to send it out.
It's an absurd discussion, a flight of fancy that started with a beer drunk in Japan with a legendary video game personality, but it will mainly be about D&D.

When MÖRK BORG appeared in 2020, it looked like a black metal album that had been accidentally printed in the games section.
A yellow spot that lit up the shelf.
MÖRK BORG was ugly, dirty, and evil.
And yellow.

it genuinely sucks that basically nothing on the internet works well anymore. search? barely works. social media? filled with garbage engagement-bait designed to game the algorithm. news websites? pages that refresh at random or so covered in video ads that it’s impossible to read stories

Is it weird to anyone else that Sega is much more of a RPG powerhouse than Square Enix these days, which is largely known as an action game developer

Last night I dreamt that the new Linkin Park singer died and I was so sad about Mike Shinoda that I lied in fetal position in my SINK, crying, with hot water flowing. 🫠
I wonder what the fuck that means since I'm not even a LP fan 😂

Talked with PEGI and they do not see anything wrong Balatro being rated 18+, nor with EA sports FC (and similar games) having a 3+ rating
Blaming EU laws, blaming storefronts, waiting for the future. Sitting on their hands
I thought some good might come of this, this sucks

An entire industry waiting for a single cog to turn (GTA).
AAA market is saturated and in crisis 'cause it's constantly copying itself, unable to foster new ideas 'cause it's too risky in a world where F2P games rule by slot-machine mechanisms consuming players' only real currency of value: time.
