So much (all? all.) popular music in the west was invented and perfected by Black folks, and punk doesn't always get included in that list!
One of the best protopunk records ever made was in 1975 by a Detroit band called DEATH. If you haven't heard this, FIX THAT:

Space Warlord Baby Trading Simulator is so narratively engaging and pulse-pounding. You're trying to make money while the babies you're speculating on are "Getting struck by lightning" and "Being chased by crop creatures."
Honestly, play this game.

Hey, do I have friends on here who:
1) Use Bandcamp
2) Like Metal?
I bought a record and it came with a download code for an Iranian black metal artist named "Akvan". It rips. HMU.

After The Gods Must Be Hungry being a level in Psychonauts 2, all of the best Amnesia Fortnite games have now been realized.
Let's dive into what Kiln is. It's a pottery power-fantasy that celebrates both Creativity and Destruction: the pleasure that comes from both making beautiful things, and then smashing those beautiful things to smithereens!

K, I don't know that I have time to take on more games that aren't all over my backlog, but I'm buying this, because it looks incredible. First game of 2026 I'm legitimately excited for.
In TR-49, a record of history is so distorted and revised by language that figuring out the truth becomes a puzzle. Will historians be able to figure out what is happening to us today when we’ve trained ourselves to speak in careful codes? My review. www.polygon.com/tr-49-review/
TR-49 is a harrowing deduction game for a harrowing moment
It's all about cracking codes and unraveling a political mystery.

People are really excited about Marty Supreme but I can't bring myself to pay to watch something with Kevin O'Leary in it. I saw him in the trailer and I openly booed. Fuck that guy.

Something positive: Spry Fox is spinning out of Netflix. We are independent (once again!) and preparing to launch Spirit Crossing.
We wrote up a little blog post musing about this wild adventure. Worth sharing the good news.

Is there an (ideally daily) short news podcasts about tech and or games industry?
I generally don't read too much on screens and get a lot of my news from podcasts in the morning, and would like to keep up on this stuff without being on social media.

Ive read A Christmas Carol every year for like 15 years, and there's a very religious interpretation that always makes its way into the movie adaptations, missing out on the best part of Dickens' writing.
