One last thing for Remade, from me. A recurring theme from these interviews was an excitement for learning from the past, and the idea of “comfort.” And in both a volatile world and industry, maybe thats important right now for the people who both play and make games www.inverse.com/gaming/video...
Video Games Are Obsessed With Remakes. It Might Be The Only Way To Secure the Future.
Video game remakes are becoming increasingly common, but the developers behind the biggest ones hope that there are lessons and positive emotions in revisiting the past.

When the year began, we penciled into our publication calendar the idea to finish 2025 by naming a Portlander of the Year. By the end of autumn, it was clear that this figure wasn’t really a person at all. It was a concept. It was a frog.

Evil, being a destructive force, will always destroy itself. And people of good will will always be here, working to make that happen more quickly.
It feels like we’re losing a lot of battles now. But a battle isn’t the war.
There is and will continue to be reason to celebrate.
Happy Holidays!

One surprise for me in 2025 is that it feels like most of the online services and software I use have gotten worse. A notable exception is @kagi.com. This is a service I gladly pay for and has measurably improved throughout 2025. If you are frustrated with search, you have to try it.

that's really another thing I'll never get over when people make the "bluh bluh game studios are only using it internally and no ai assets will be in the game". I don't care. You're giving enterprise solution money directly to some of the most evil people alive who will use it to do more evil shit.

How can anyone who lived through the same-sex marriage nonsense of the 90s not find all of this so tiresome and predictable? Can’t we just skip to the part where we all just stop worrying about what other people do to be happy?

The Luddites smashed machinery (like textile frames) because that machinery was robbing them of their livelihoods, much like generative AI does. The rich machine owners blocked factory workers from getting legal protections and got richer while workers got poorer. Sound familiar?

I love how people throw around Rotten Tomatoes scores of ~70% claiming that's a failure.
Dudes I'd love to see you make something that nearly 3/4 people (or even 2/3) said was good. Best of luck to you with that.

If you get your groceries anywhere other than Walmart, Trump and his cronies have ensured you're paying a higher price for your Lays, Gatorade, and Pepsi
1. For at least 10 years, Pepsi has conspired with Walmart to force up grocery prices. That’s the shocking evidence made public today in an unsealed FTC lawsuit. The suit was abandoned in May by the Trump FTC just before it was to be un-redacted. We went to court to get it unsealed & won.

You don’t give this interview unless you’re aiming to flee a sinking ship, secure a book deal, and come out with your dignity intact to be allowed back into polite society (which she will never have back, nor should she ever be allowed back into polite society).
Wow — White House Chief of staff Susie Wiles did not hold back. 👀
