Keep thinking about this term "pre-digested" that Kojima used to describe art that's instantly gratifying. And how it's better when people grow to love something instead.
I've gravitated, as player and designer, toward the latter, but that term "pre-digested" is new and feels very strong.

really happy to have seen the death stranding concert tour tonight - absolutely gorgeous music & very talented performers. it's such a treat to hear music I already loved brought to life like this.

nobody else is going to write Deltarune theories which are the opposite of wish-fulfillment, so I'm afraid it's my responsibility. here's why Asriel (probably) isn't going to be part of Deltarune.

halloween might be over, but you should still take Joseph Fink's advice and watch One Cut of the Dead. one of my favorite movies which I can never talk about because you *must* watch it blind. I see you going to Wikipedia, quit it! just watch the movie!
We watched One Cut of the Dead tonight (second time for me, first for Meg). Tough movie to introduce to people because the first 30 minutes are not great and you have to be like "this gets really really good and I can't tell you how or why, but sitting through this opening bit is part of it"

just beat @qdork.bsky.social's Consume Me. I really loved it! there aren't enough games out there which feel so earnest to their creators' experience. this one is special. plus, I mean come on, it has a really good dog, who deserves that cookie. highly recommend checking it out (and feeding the dog)

happy 10th birthday to undertale! a game in a league of its own, rivalled by very few in its ability to find its way straight to the heart of its players. deeply impressive writing and design, and simply Fun, too. 1/3

ok so on 16 June 2023 I had a dream that I was writing an album, and that the album was called "Through This Fire Across from Peter Balkan." I wrote the dream down and went back to sleep In the morning, I said: "What if?" Today, the first song from the album is released!

death stranding 2 is a good videogame because you'll be fighting for your life delivering packages in the harshest possible conditions and then a member of the band chvrches will text you about wombat ass

the dailup sound was a protection spell the computer said for us every time we went online but we thought we were too good for it. we wanted to be on the phone and the computer at the same time. we wanted to be on the phone and the computer at the same time and now we’re fucked

just played a bit of Space Hole - it's neat, and only a dollar! nice and comfortable to control - I very much enjoy cruising through space. worth picking up and messing around with.

I took my time with it, but I'm happy to say I beat Death Stranding 2 today. so much to say about it, so many emotions, but man I love this game. I'm glad kojima is still doing his thing, however insane it can be at times. I'll make a video talking about the game in more depth at some stage.

it's been a long time since I saw Howl's Moving Castle, but I think it's the Ghibli film that sticks with me the most visually. it's not even close to my favorite Ghibli! but its imagery is burned into my brain, and I'm okay with that. I love the way it feels, above all else.

it's a conversation I've had countless times with other Deltarune fans - why are Undertale characters in Deltarune, anyway? so I thought I'd write a blog post about it. enjoy!

Why Are There Undertale Characters in Deltarune, Anyway?
Marketing, intertextuality, subverting expectations, and convenience.

I could never sum up the impact undertale made in such a small number of characters - but I did my best! it's a videogame which changes the way you think about videogames. it has stayed with me over the past decade, and I'll wager it'll stay with me throughout the next decade, too. happy 10 years :)
Hello.
It's almost been 10 years since UNDERTALE released.
Now, I'm looking for your memories.
Let's turn back together.
Face the flower and speak.

currently playing Death Stranding 2. I'm assuming this was a glitch(?), but I can't get over the fact that he straight up poses like he did something cool
