For anybody who's watched the new @defunctland.bsky.social:

I did the Stitch Camera Picture Phone in the mid-'00s, thinking it was just a normal attraction. I always wondered why it disappeared.

My mom’s review of the latest episode of Post Games — now available for $1 (including everything else) on Patreon.com/postgames
November 28, 2025 at 11:13 PM
I am a sucker for the holidays, so Post Games is on sale till Sunday night.

$1 gets you all episodes. Videos. Bonus content. No ads. Everything.

(But for real, after this, I need to stop with the sales, because this is a terrible way to make money!)

“For years they said it would never happen and it fucking is. [They’re] facing everything from stalling at the bargaining table to mass firings, and deciding that it's worth it for a shot at real agency in shaping their working conditions”

This Black Friday, I'll be watching 14 hours of movies at @thefridacinema.org to raise money for this vital non-profit that provides a safe, inclusive arts space for the Santa Ana community.

If you want to support the arts, please consider donating!

This Xmas, take @marioprime.bsky.social's advice on buying a used PS2:

"I've loved going back and rediscovering some truly terrible games from the [PS2] era ... To feel the passage of time. To feel that things do progress. And the art gets more interesting"

“Most art doesn't appeal to everyone. Most art isn't mainstream. It's in some way niche and that's okay. Not everything should be mainstream. Actually trying to be mainstream can ruin a lot of art. Thank God we don't all have to be mainstream"

Between today and tomorrow, we get four great games that in the late 2000s would have been guaranteed GOTY contenders. It's a brutal time to sell a game; it's an age of miracles for people who play them:

Demonschool
News Tower
Kingdom of the Dump
Birdcage

PLUS, Moonlighter 2 hits Early Access

Want to see Mortal Kombat (1995) on a huge screen? Will you be around the SoCal area during the Game Awards?

Post Games is hosting MK at The Frida in Santa Ana on 12/12. I'll be selling rare Post Games merch, and showing a custom pre-roll of forgotten MK material

A video game studio recreated the site of the most infamous caving tragedy. The Nutty Putty Cave story gets millions of views across YouTube each year, but what attracts people to play in its infamous depths?

"The wisdom has changed from 'You should make more expensive games' to 'Oh my gosh, make much less expensive games.' It's such a climate of fear."

@joelburgess.bsky.social on the constant outside pressure to "de-risk" a game's design.
