Listening to the Date With an Angel episode of How Did This Get Made that they recorded over two years ago in Minneapolis and finally released! I watched the movie when it was announced and now don't remember it at all but I gave it 2 stars on letterboxd

Stardew Valley turns 10 in a few weeks, I wonder if I was the game's first fan?

I've been on the same forum for over 25 years, it gets a few posts a month and we all moved to Discord almost a decade ago. I'm not really interested in publicly posting on forums where search engines and AI crawlers can slop up my personal life anymore.

With the sequel incoming, here's my review of Paranormasight: The Seven Mysteries of Honjo, an excellent visual novel game that does so much with so little firsthour.net/full-review/...
Paranormasight: The Seven Mysteries of Honjo | First Hour
Never have I played a game that did so much with so little, but Square Enix’s Paranormasight: The Seven Mysteries of Honjo is a masterclass in effective and clever storytelling. Released in 2023, the ...

Watched Hirokazu Kore-eda's AFTER LIFE last night for the first time in six years, instantly went into my @letterboxd.social favorites (replacing SHOPLIFTERS, sorry boss). Honestly he's our greatest living director

Yesterday, five-year-old Liam and his dad Adrian were released from Dilley detention center. I picked them up last night and escorted them back to Minnesota this morning.

Liam is now home. With his hat and his backpack.

@memoriamatters.bsky.social went looking for your Rod Fisher video for a rewatch but couldn't find it and then found your Reddit post, I think you made the right choice. RIP to a great dude and thanks for making great videos

i talked to the lead designer for Seance of Blake Manor, one of my favorite mystery games of last year. it's not as brain-destroying as something like Blue Prince and that's very much by design. you can walk away and come back to it, for example www.mothership.blog/seance-of-bl...

We ask our customers to stop yelling "You can do it" at Rob Schneider.

He seems to be stepping away from the ledge.

Try a couple decades of shitty emails ranging from simple insults all the way up to death threats from idiot fanboys who can't handle you giving a game "only" 8/10 and see which one puts more calluses on your soul, dummy. You'd fold in six months or less.

Finished up Pokemon Legends ZA, not a huge fan of it in the end, just felt kinda mindless and much less interesting than Arceus. Also badly needs voice acting, unvoiced cutscenes in 2026 when the characters seem to be lip synced to something is bonkers

Now have enough posts on the frontpage of firsthour.net to completely push off all the old content! No more reviews written in 2013 or 2016, we're back baby! Consume Me, Ball x Pit, Recca, Gone Home, Pico-8, Blackwell series, Angeline Era, and more!

US Secretary of Treasury Scott Bessent:

What I am urging everyone here to do is sit back, take a deep breath, and let things play out. The worst thing countries can do is escalate against the United States.

I checked the traffic stats after the Steam Winter Sale ended. Bluesky traffic exceeded Twitter traffic by a lot.
For those who have just left twitter/X and are afraid for their financial security as they try to rebuild, I want to share my experience as it will hopefully provide a bit of comfort.

Earlier this year I ran a Kickstarter. Bsky outperformed Twitter for backers by more than 3x.

One of the reasons The Shield is the best TV show of all time is how well it's aged - for instance, making Vic Mackie anti-vax is perfect, as is his end-of-show strategy to get immunity by joining the then brand-new and mysterious ICE.
semi-regular reminder that ICE was only created in 2003

when you are asked to imagine a world without ICE, you're basically being asked to remember where you were when Lilo & Stitch came out
