When Rutte says to expect war in Western Europe in the next five years I genuinely don't know anymore if he means with Russia or the USA and that's pretty terrifying.

Want to support a wonderful indie game's sequel and help a very queer, very BIPOC driven game succeed? There are 5 days left. If you can help fund this visual novel, please do so. I upped my pledge the best I could within what I can afford. Please consider helping Women of Xal II become real.
Sorry, folks. Seven days to go and 50% funded. We'll need a modern internet miracle to see these lovely ladies get their sequel. I was always worried that the visuals were not appealing to most VN gamers, but... ouch

I want to finish Untitled Spaceship Crash Love Story in Q1 2026 so I can continue work on the actual game I should be working on, HANA, which I should be pitching to funds by end of year.
What are your art ambitions for 2026? Make sure to post them here so we can publicly shame you if you achieve none of them!!

New article time!
This one's about Planescape: Torment. I was commissioned to cover it, so I have. I was... disappointed to find I didn't really like the game. I tried not to be too mean, but I really, really disliked this game's treatment off women.

Oh apparently I wasn't close to finishing RDR2 but the game does a kinda 'gotcha' style non-ending.
Actually I think I'm alright, I have played the game enough and as far as I'm concerned this was the ending.
It was beautiful.

Four games that defined my 2025.
Finished BGIII at the start of the year, and am almost through RDR2 now.
LoL is there because of friends and I didn't even play MVIII myself, but I watched my son play it and that was pretty special ❤️
