With Metal Gear Solid 4 coming to PC, now is the best time to remind everyone that true art does in-fact exist.

LMAO, I cannot count the number of RPGs I've played, Japanese or otherwise, with explicitly anti-religious sentiments. My Catholic family probably would have taken issue with me playing them if they paid attention to the games I play.
current status:
making up a parallel world where JRPGs are right wing media and Christian households didn't find them objectionable

Was at an anti-ICE protest in MN the other day, and two nice fellows I walked with cracked a joke that they were there in support of ICE. I activated my fight-or-fight-even-more response for 2 seconds until I realized they were kidding.

The ultimate sign of adulthood is receiving socks as a present and being like, "Fuck yes! I needed these so badly!"

A Happy New Year to you all. Here's hoping 2026 is better than 2025.

It annoys me when people accuse Hideo Kojima of being a glorified film director. Even his most cinematic games are very mechanically rich, and he clearly loves video games as a medium.
his answer to 'what makes a game good' was: The creator's love, and items with multiple mechanical utilities.

I started Umineko around the time I was playing Silent Hill F and thought 'Yep, these were definitely written by the same person'. (I say this in a good way)

Silent Hill f writer says he's "forever scared of" women, and that's why the game takes them seriously: "Working on themes based around women is, to me, the greatest act of respect"

Straight up, part of me would be excited to say, "Man, it sure sucks everyone stopped making video games after 2025. Time to check out this Sega Saturn RPG that got a fan translation."
The dorks who insist AI is inevitable, especially in the games industry, deeply underestimate how much I’ll just shrug and play retro games for the rest of my life.
Like the PS1 & PS2 libraries alone are enough for multiple lifetimes.
Fuck you, make me.

- tech is now more expensive
- you cannot trust most media of reality anymore
- programs barely function
- energy prices
- literal psychosis
- your voice can be literally stolen for evil
- more spyware
but hey, you can avoid paying an artist.

Warms my heart to see ICE agents encounter some REAL ice via Minnesota weather and the cold, passive aggressiveness of angry Minnesotans.
This article is sympathetic towards ICE but still a good read because it's clear that Minneapolis and Saint Paul are doing AMAZING work (with a little assistance from our weather).

The Horses fiasco shows how insufferably prudish the games industry and media is. Antichrist is a wildly unsettling art-film, and includes but does not limited itself to genital mutilation. If it is allowed to exist (and it should), Horses should too. Because it's tame AF by comparison.

New work schedule starts next week. I'll have to go into the office half the time. For no fucking reason. It gets less work done than WFH, costs literally everybody more, and wastes more time.
But some dickhead middle managers can't Get It Up unless they can pester employees IRL, so here we are.

Setting aside that AI is dying as we speak...
*Stares at the decades of unplayed games made by actual humans in my backlog.*
I think I'll manage. RPG Maker games alone would last me until the heat death of the universe.

Reminder that Red Dead Redemption 2 mocked the Pinkertons and union busters while the company making it crunched their employees to death and actively fired anyone trying to unionize.
someone posted on the gtaforums claiming to be a rockstar employee, apparently website staff confirmed its legit

Reze Arc was unsurprisingly very good. The movie scene reminds me of how different art can move different people, and that's part of what makes art beautiful.

Was at a family member's birthday party last week, and my uncle said he met his fiance a few years ago after he asked if she wanted to bag corn.
Which might the most mid-western way of asking a woman out on a date.

Finished with Metaphor Refantazio. A very good game. It's not my favorite RPG or fantasy story ever, but it might be the one that best encapsulates what I like about fantasy.
