Silksong’s fascination with religion is obvious from the beginning. But only in examining the game’s conclusion(s) does its perspective become clear — this is a story about the apocalyptic finish line, a story about the end of stories. And it is also about what comes after.

I once asked a bookseller at a large indie store how many people would have to buy a book for it to get the attention of the store buyer and cause an additional order and they said: Three.
I see some book piracy discourse, and, to make a positive argument in favor of buying books, your marginal ability to influence what books get published and support the careers of writers you like is massive compared to most other forms of media.

I heard there was a Cohen song,
And all the Christians got it wrong,
But you don’t really get the meaning do ya?
‘Cause you see its about getting laid,
It’s sex, and love, and Jewish faith,
But all the gentiles heard was “hallelujah!”

EXCLUSIVE: So far it's been unclear what proof Rockstar Games has to justify its firing of 34 union members, who it claims were leaking "confidential information in a public forum".
PMG has now seen some of the messages which contributed to this decision being made.

Severely underdiscussed about Silksong is what it has to say about religion, faith, and heroism. It's easy to stick with the strong critiques on the surface, but there's so much more it has to say, and @jacobgeller.com does an amazing job here.

Very confused about a recent study ("study"?) regarding the environmental impact of video games, as on Gamesindustry dot biz. For one - the article interviews the author of the study but does not link to the study. I cannot find the published study anywhere.
