I loved this one so much.

I’m usually turned off by "wrong" and romanticized retro aesthetics, but Ruin isn't quite a retro game. It feels closer to the blurred memory of playing games as a child.

Gotta give it to DPD, they can still surprise me after all these years.

Today they placed a random package in front of my door, mailed me that I accepted the package and called it a day.

Another great talk by Cory Doctorow, this time about his upcoming book 'The Reverse-Centaur's Guide to Criticizing AI'.

Warmly recommended.

Super late to the party but I'm really impressed with Quantic Dream's Detroit : Become Human.

The game plays in a world where Androids are fully realized and human-like. They're also exploited as consumer objects. Many moral questions ensue! At its best an absolute experience.
