I'm beyond excited to announce an event I've been working on for months: a meeting of the minds between leaders of the NYC video game industry. I can't wait for the insight of our panelists, and we'll have a stream as well. And a sneak peak of docuseries footage!

Well, I guess I found my panel afterparty spot.

Panel? Check back next week!

Do you need to be in NYC for it? Great if you are, but if not, you may still get the experience sans afterparty.

Or maybe you just haven't found the right games yet!

I appreciate all the feedback! I'm definitely hoping it clicks on a third try.

But, I redownloaded the game and am gonna try again.

Oh, I don’t think this showed up in my notifications so I just saw it.

From what I recall, it was incredibly cryptic off the bat without any establishment of characters. It felt like I had to decode everything. It’s not the type of dialogue I usually vibe with.

I wonder if you can set up automated responses to key words that give them incorrect advice.

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is my favorite game success in a bit. Putting aside that it plays to my sensibilities, it's a rebuke to every poor tendency of the AAA industry. I have no idea if this game will have any change there, but hopefully it'll encourage more small studios to chase their dreams.

Had the honor of seeing Yoko Kanno play her first ever show in NYC (how???) tonight. Absolutely lived up to the a decade and a half of waiting for this moment.

Yes, “Tank!” is as good live as you’d expect. But Kanno conducting the audience to sing “Space Lion” to close out was life-affirming.
