In spite of everything 2025 was a pretty fulfilling year for me, games wise. I wrote a lot of BREAK!! stuff (Please check out the blog/START coming soon) and got to connect with other creators as well as members of our community. I'm really looking forward to building off these foundations in 2026.

It's only “DEI” if it comes from liberal coastal cities. Otherwise it's just sparkling white supremacy.
Screenshot of an X post by user Covie arguing that hiring a 31-year FDNY veteran to lead the department is labeled “DEI,” while criticizing another political appointment as lacking merit.

Had to have this talk with someone who honestly meant well so just a gentle reminder. Even if it's free it still supports the TERF queen. It still keeps the franchise relevant when we need to let it die to stop her from harming people.

Per Craig Ferguson: When you're about to say something, ask yourself

1. Does this need to be said

2. Does this need to be said by me

3. Does this need to be said by me right now

It's amazing how asking these will get keep you out of trouble (that is, if you actually have sense to begin with)

I’ve been trying very hard to not be an asshole as I get older. Often, that just means keeping my mouth shut and nodding along.

I can relate, Murderbot. I can relate.

Fan art of the character Murderbot from the TV show Murderbot. Murderbot is standing in a building that is burning down around it. It’s body language looks resigned. The thought bubble next to the character reads: I JUST WANT TO WATCH MY SHOWS.

@corybooker.com has the 60-minute CECOT segment available on his channel. Watch it while you can. In other places, Paramount has taken the video down - "copyright," don't you know. Share. The more who witness, the better.

re-reading the Locked Tomb books as one sometimes must and man: John's narration in Nona the Ninth really is the best villain monologue ever written. by the end you understand why they exist as a trope in the first place! because only a villain has the ego required to monologue!
NONA THE NINTH forgotten before. I said I swear to God, I didn't know what I was doing. A bunch of the guys were her old coworkers-guys she'd gone through training with in Porirua, beer buddies. I kept saying sorry, I'm sorry, I freaked out, it was an accident, I don't know what happened, when they opened fire I lost my head. I said I made a mistake. She let it go eventually because the others were telling her to lay off. Just said, Guys as careful as you shouldn't have accidents. If you've got a gun learn how to aim it. This is too big for fuck-ups now. Poor G- didn't know what to do. He never knew how to pick between me and P-. He said, In the end we dragged in all the corpses. For the skeleton army, I said. And I'd stopped kidding. For a while both of them stopped talking. He kicked at some of the old, wet rubble. A bad smell came out. He did not fix the bad smell. She said, "Did you ever find out what happened? With your accident?" He turned to her and he smiled a funny little smile. It only used one half of his mouth. In the dream his new eyes did not show happiness or unhappiness. And he said, "Come on, love. Guys as careful as me don't have accidents."

Forged in the Dark innovators thread! Who's doing cool new stuff with the FitD model? (promote your own or someone else's).

I'll start: Slugblaster, by @wilkiescandylab.com is a smart hack of the core systems, tweaked in just the right way to fit the more light-hearted adventure style of the game.
