For context (a thread!): I left media in 2022 after more than 18 years in freelance/staff newsroom roles, working primarily as a critic, feature writer, business analyst, editor, and reporter. Heaviest focus areas included games, consumer tech, film/TV, geek culture, and web culture.

Sektori is one of the best games I’ve played all year. Design perfection, a fantastic soundtrack, it’s almost impossible for me to put down. I need every sicko reading this to play it. For @aftermath.site aftermath.site/sektori-shoo...

It's wild how Valve has slowly transformed over time from industry-leading storefront for PC gaming to industry vampire that boosts major publishers and post-success indies at the expense of smaller/new creators. It's the Geoff Keighley of PC gaming storefronts and that's gross as hell.
Santa Ragione are a well-known studio, covered by a great many mainstream outlets. Their latest game will not be releasing on Steam for... reasons? Steam won't tell them why, won't tell them what needs fixing, and won't communicate in general.

Every other store will carry it. Just not Steam.
Our upcoming game HORSES was preemptively banned from Steam, with no path to appeal. The game will still launch next week on December 2nd and will be available on EGS, GOG, Humble, and Itch for $4.99. Here is a detailed FAQ covering what happened: horses.wtf/BannedFromSt...

The GDD is written! This is getting realer by the day. (And you know I'm a serious professional about it because I use words like "realer")

Glenn Erickson of CineSavant writes that director John Carpenter applies himself to a solid attempt to nail down the H.P. Lovecraft ethos on film with In The Mouth of Madness.

Man what the fuck

I've heard really good things about this game so I'm glad it's still heading to the other stores.

But seriously what the fuck Valve

Probably shouldn't have kicked up those subscription prices immediately after plunging into a crisis over plans to incorporate genAI UGC into the platform.

Or hey, let's streamline that: Probably shouldn't have fallen for the genAI grift

There’s no demographic more afraid of its own collective shadow than middle-aged white upper middle class from Nassau County. They have no actual idea what they’re so afraid of and can never articulate it, but they must be able to drive to the epicenter of it (NYC) for free at all times.

BREAKING: This is huge news, the EU's equivalent of the 🇺🇸Supreme Court's 2015 Obergefell v. Hodges ruling.

🇪🇺Court of Justice just ruled all 🇪🇺countries must recognise same-sex marriages granted in other member states.

This effectively legalises gay marriage across 🇪🇺

I'm really disappointed with the way @bookshop.org handles ebooks. I like and support the mission but ebooks can only be read in the official Bookshop Android/iOS app or in-browser on PC (my preference), but with fewer features and frankly piss-poor accessibilty. So that's a real problem for me.

I had a great time talking with two of the devs on @softrains.bsky.social from Soft Rains (Joel Burgess and Kaitlin Tremblay). We discussed it being a "sad cleaning sim" but also how it draws inspiration from diasporic communities and the grief of coming home.

Read the interview here:
Ambrosia Sky Developers Their "Sad Cleaning Simulator" And Inspiration From Diasporic Communities - Interview
Soft Rains' Ambrosia Sky is easily described as a "sad cleaning sim" but it's a larger story of diaspora and coming home.

Well, doesn’t leave a lot for me to say about Zootopia 2 if you’re gonna ban proper nouns, themes, and I guess general vibes next?

I don't agree with this decision but I have to respect it
None of us eat canned cranberry sauce but we figured it needed to be on the table for symbolic reasons (like the bone on a seder plate). So every year since 1995 we are presented with the SAME unopened ceremonial can at the table. It still hasn’t exploded.

I opened this app and started to write out words about current events but then I thought "Nah, if I'm going to choose violence at the start of the day it may as well be the fun kind."

So here we go: Jellied cranberry sauce is the only good cranberry sauce.
