(Y'know what's wild about the resistance to adding alt text to images? That's a function twitter added in 2016. Which means some of these people have been wilfully ignoring that simple accessibility ask for nearly a decade. So yes, I mute those ignorant assholes. I don't care what they have to say.)

(Y'know, blasting out Rey's Theme from The Force Awakens still fills me with seat-bouncing, excited-giggling joy. Just like when I watched the film for the first time. Saw it...ooh, I suspect more than half a dozen times? At the cinema.)

Quote this with your favourite game NOW that was released in 2007, and what your favourite was THEN (if you had one)

Localisations/early access count, remasters/ports don't. Remakes depend.

Two-way ties count.

If I showed up as someone's three ghosts, what would they be?

My past ghost would play "The World We Left Behind" with you.

My present ghost would play "Badger + Coyote and their daring adventures" with you.

My future ghost would play "Chiron's Doom" with you.
if you showed up as someone's three ghosts, what would they be?

My past ghost would read you an awesome bedtime story and give you a big hug to comfort you

My present ghost would give you an unsolicited pep talk that’s full of love

My future ghost would pack you a bowl and hope for better things
if you showed up as someone's three ghosts, what would they be?

my first ghost would cook for you.

my second would yell/rant at you about something niche you care not one iota about.

my third would wait on your front lawn with gloves and a sandwich to fight your enemies.

(Hey ho, if you want to avoid genAI shite then there's really a very clear course of action to take here.)
Heads up to artists still using Twitter- Twitter is now adding an "Edit image" button under all images posted on the site that allows everyone to feed it into genAI and modify it as they wish with a prompt

(I refuse to show plates of actual food because there's a particular type of poster that delights in food-shaming and frankly I can't be arsed to deal with them. Suffice to say, dinner was had in great volume and was very satisfying.)

(I actually don't have anything to contribute beacuse 2025 has been spent recovering from 2024's ridiculous decisions.)
I don’t give a shit about your accomplishments this year. What’s the dumbest shit you did the past 12 months? The truly stupidest decision you made in 2025?

(Having watched 25 christmas films this month, my emerging opinion on the genre is that the crises during which these holiday romances occur would be more interesting subjects of films than the romances are. Switch it. Make the salvation of a community/business the main plot. Far more interesting.)

To celebrate clearing my tbr pile I asked for book gifts, and now I get to start working through a list of about 200 recommendations I've made note of in the last few years.

(Of the 22 games I wrote this year, my personal favourites are:
- Does It Have A Fishing Mini-Game?
- lay down your sword at last
- The Wolf Woods
- Not A Word
- Live On Air
- It Will Break You In The End

If I can make ttrpgs that hit this bar every year, I'll be satisfied.)

(One of many reasons I don't fw rpg people who are publishing their newsletters through substack. If they're still there after literal years of people talking about the way substack monetises actual fucking nazis, I have to assume they simply don't care.)
Underdiscussed point: how much responsibility Substack bears for Bari Weiss being in the position she is now in.

Fuck substack
the quality of work that bari weiss produced at THE FREE PRESS was dogshit-tier bad (even by the standards of right wing slop) but it was a financial success anyway because Substack's right wing owners and other oligarch benefactors heavily promoted it.

A timeslot hit

And Tiny Tim, who did NOT die, was actually a ghost the whole time, how's that for a plot twist, motherfuckers?
And Tiny Tim, who did NOT die, reminded us "Just remember what ol' Tim does when the earth quakes, and the poison arrows fall from the sky, and the pillars of Heaven shake. Yeah, Tiny Tim just looks that big ol' storm right square in the eye and he says, "Give me your best shot, pal. I can take it."
And Tiny Tim, who did NOT die, learned what was best in life; to crush your enemies, to see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentations of their women.
