The Séance of Blake Manor's two biggest strengths are the depth of its characters and the depth of its Irish setting. Both of these make it a better detective game.

This feels so goofy, but I implemented a grid layout in the simple cards v2 Godot library. I didn't build this balatro example. That's from the original dev. I just made the cards able to be lined up in a grid layout.
I feel extremely accomplished.

To heal our divided nation I propose splitting Game of the Year awards into two categories:
- Game of the Year That’s 3D and You Use a Sword and/or Gun to Explode a Guy
- Game of the Year That’s Some Gay Bullshit Indie Meditation on Grief or Whatever
- Game of the Year That’s 3D and You Use a Sword and/or Gun to Explode a Guy

Jennifer English realizing she's a lesbian and falling in love with one of her mocap directors (Aliona Baranova) over the course of making BG3 and seeing all the queer folks embracing Shadowheart and the impact the game had is genuinely one of the best stories in game production in a long time
Congrats to Jennifer English for winning the Best Lead Performer award at the 2025 #GoldenJoystickAwards!

2 and a half months into my scary move away from an established YouTube channel, today is the first day I had not 1 but 2 videos cross 1,000 views.
That was my personal bar for "this video didn't bomb," on the old channel. It's not huge at all, but it's an important milestone.
Feeling energized.

Much of the hand wringing, imo, is over a critic explicitly saying they are judging the moral fabric of a piece of art because of the tools used to create it and it’s making some folks feel uncomfortable and shamed. The people who feel that way should sit with that feeling.

Someone should pay me lots of money to critique and improve podcasts. I'd kill at that job. Too bad the bottom fell out of the podcast business.
