Play this game, it's highly addicting and it's chill but can also be a cheek clencher if you're trying to best some high scores. A lot of chance and dumb luck involved but also some careful placement. hat tip to @hiddenmachine.bsky.social for putting me on!

sobosuba on Steam
sobosuba is a merge game with ultra-squishy soft-body physics. Satisfying and relaxing -but strategy, tricks, and skill matter for chasing high scores.

On a long car ride earlier, thought I’d finally play Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown. Can’t launch the game without an Ubisoft account. That shit is so lame. Try for High on Life 2, it’s “deck verified”. 20 minutes to load shaders, runs at single digit FPS. I struck out tonight!

Sometimes I’m down about the ephemeral nature of art online, all prone to being “content”, seen once and forgotten, then I see pieces like this and remember how much great art I saw once and then recycled, pieces made for newspapers or magazines. The volume is greater now, but we’ve always done this
Among the Kaz Aizawa pieces coming to auction at Heritage, this one is completely new for me! Done for the December 15, 1992, edition of the Chicago Tribune's KidNews section. Published with the feature "Video Game Wars: You Win with a World of Choices comics.ha.com/itm/video-ga...

Seeing the #my9games thing go around, here's mine! I tried to think about games that actually impacted me in my youth or shaped my worldview or personality in some significant way, or games that expanded my idea of what a game could be.

Hairspray is a classic, it gets better every time I watch it. Splendor and Rabbit were disappointing for me, both felt like they fell a bit short in different ways. Black Samson was thoroughly gritty and entertaining. The guy has a pet lion who lives in his topless bar!

Local sandwich shop had the mini Marvel vs Capcom 2 out today. What a game! I remember when it came out, I thought I was pretty good at the time, I could get pretty far on one credit. In reality, I was just button mashing and the difficulty was probably set very low.

One achievement shy of the trophy in CONTROL Resonant. The game rewards persistence.

My review for CONTROL Resonant is live now! I have spent over 50 hours with the game, and I have a lot to say, but I kept this one spoiler-free. I went so far as to cover up any story related text in the gameplay clips I used!

Up now on the second channel: my playthrough of the new Hellraiser Revival demo. Very brutal! I've been skeptical about this one for a while, but the demo piqued my interest. Video is age restricted; this game is not going to be streamer friendly!

This current wave of AI vibe coded recompilations and translations are like the AI upscaled versions of videos that smudge all the fine details and, in many cases, become the most widely distributed version of the work online. Reminds me of what happens to many reprinted comics!

I saw Violent Femmes last night. Very inspiring! 45 years as a band. Wild! Very little banter, mostly just rocking out, being in the moment with one another, freely swapping instruments. One of my favorite bands since high school, and one of the few that still hold up today.

People my age are trapped in perpetual adolescence through their consumer identities. You’ll see a ~40 year old man in an all over print Ninja Turtles hoodie. A unique phenomenon? You never saw guys in the 80s or 90s decked out in Howdy Doody gear.

I've posted this before but i think it deserves to be in front of more eyes. If you're into the history of video games or are appreciative of OG game makers then you owe it to yourself to check out this doc about Ed Logg's work.

Is this supposed to be THE tape? It makes no sense to have a commercial sleeve and spine label and then have the face label look like a home recording, especially not one that someone seemingly ran through a typewriter. A fun concept,but the delivery is very confused & uninspired
