The wrong people own the future, your friends are imprisoned and the world is about to end. There’s no more time for deliberation.

It is time for desperate actions.

It is finally time to end the Age of Reason.

The diplomatic "achievement" of the ceasefire was to recalibrate the tempo of the genocide sufficiently to get it off the front pages and the news bulletins, thus alleviating the political pressure on Israel's western accomplices.

Israel still committing genocide in Gaza, Amnesty International says
The NGO’s chief says last month’s ceasefire ‘risks creating a dangerous illusion that life in Gaza is returning to normal’

If you need something to scroll through on your phone whilst ignoring your family and would prefer to not have social media tear at your corneas then perhaps try binging my weird Let's Play or reading my various interesting blog posts
I plan on continuing with a truncated NG+ to show some alternate options, but worth noting my old-style screenshot Let's Play of an obscure fan-translated JoJo's Bizarre Adventure fangame that began on Cohost has hit end credits of a full playthrough. Read it!

Fiddling around with JRPG game's inventory system and I'm considering the option to NOT let players sort their inventory.

I'm just curious what it feels like if your adventure backpack works like my desk, where sometimes you know that an item has to be in there somewhere, but you've no idea where.

There's a certain joy in engaging in media, without knowing much about it beyond rumours. I've been doing this a lot lately and I found some really cool things that way.

The downside is that every now and then you pick something up that just isn't working for you.

Oh what's this?

The complete and uncut Let's Play of Gabriel Knight: The Beast Within from me and @shirokumahi.me now presented as one uninterrupted video instead of a continuously broken YouTube playlist? That's right!

There's even CHAPTERS!

Go watch! It rules!

if you "liked" my Evil Games post, have you maybe considered showing it to other people (="sharing" it)?

If you liked it, maybe others will do so as well.

what if I just publish these notes about Evil Game Design without actually explaining them at all?

I think it would fit the nature of the subject...
November 25, 2025 at 4:32 PM
This is kind of adjacent to Evil Games, and most likely not a very original thought, but something I've been thinking a lot lately is how maybe the problem with game design these days is that people overemphasize the importance of the player.
November 25, 2025 at 3:44 PM
I really hate it how my 2022 joke of some indiegames eventually advertising themselves as "organic videogames" keeps approaching actual reality.

Someone please get me out of this clown dimension.
