In Super Mario Galaxy, the stars on the letters of the logo spell "u r mr gay", while for the movie it says "he mr gay". This is because you are watching Mario, not playing him.

I have rarely felt stronger about something than, after Northernlion’s latest opining during his return to Isaac, believing old school rpgs would heal him

Something I think is both interesting and important in the TTRPG sphere is a shift where people talk more about TTRPG’s being a good “read” than a good “play.” Something to keep in mind when designing them; lyric games were and are onto something

Mahjong tournaments really do take time off of your lifespan. It should be illegal to see a baiman and sanbaiman in the same match

When the college burnout suddenly clears up and in one week you buckle down on indie work, put more focus on job searching, and cross several games off your backlog in one week

Payment processors are going to be the death of indie games (especially queer ones) unless something drastic is done. I cannot understate how dire this situation is.

The one bad thing about Hades blowing up as much as it did was that it overshadowed the rest of Supergiant's catalogue of fantastic titles, of which Pyre might well be my favorite. Insanely good, smart, exciting, fun, gorgeous, unforgettable game for the price of a 2L of Dr Pepper
Pyre is $3.99 on GOG buff.ly/aIdf1fO

PAX East felt like a warning: explosively successful games by solo devs and small teams are great, but it could lead to a dearth of vital specialists.
