Congratulations! Can't wait to see your awesome work there.

Pragmata discourse be like

gonna be honest with you all: i think sub-posting (tone policing) about my criticism when it's coming from a personal blog in which i have no platform or institutional power is weird as fuck.

i understand you have jobs and want to keep them, but THIS is what people talk about re: games crit cliques

"the strait of hormuz is open"
"the strait of hormuz is closed"
"wait they're opening it again"
"the strait of hormuz is actually closed this time"

"Do all video games not appear video-gamey? The start screen, the pause button, the save file, the life lost to a mistake."

Dragon Quest VII and Reimagining the Critic in 2026 - Unwinnable We must kill the content creator inside of us that has taken over our being like a body snatcher.

Video-gamey is a designation use by critics that can't write. An LLM can provide more to a reader. Keep using those sorts of asinine descriptors at your own peril.

The ideal game console.
1. It explodes after you reach over 40 hours on any individual game, no exceptions!
2. The controller requires you to insert your two upper central incisors into it.
3. Comes with a Mountain Dew censor, if it detects the chemicals it calls your mom.

Developers that note.

Shigeru Mizuki's THE DEFINITIVE YOKAI FIELD GUIDE is OUT TODAY!!!

This book was Mizuki's personal request to have translated. He considered it his most important work, combining his career as a cartoonist and folklorist. It gives Mizuki's personal thoughts on what yokai are.

Donate To Help Sever Migration Costs

UPDATE: After a day of retaliatory action by our old host, our new dev has the path mostly cleared right now.

We are deeply thankful for all of the support, whether you donated or boosted, it means a lot. We have raised just under $1,700, which is almost half of our costs. 🫶🏽

I just rift off something, stream of conscious like, about the topic at hand. I keep writing until I naturally hit a "I have nothing to say anymore" moment. I keep all the typos, run-on sentences, grammar felonies, straight stupid content, etc... Then I shape the essay through edits. 2/2

Writing is sculpting. The hardest part is carrying the slap of rock into the studio, i.e. putting some initial words on the page. You kick and scream. Cry and sweat. Once the "stone is in the studio." The real writing begins via the editing process. That is when the sculpture takes shape. 1/2

The text reads 'Charlotte plays Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, episode 10.' Overlaid is Charlotte's avatar, and in the background Cal is in water, reaching up at the child padawan version of himself.

It's time for Cal to dig into his trauma as he travels to the frozen planet Ilum to fix his lightsaber. Men will literally almost drown trying to find a kyber crystal rather than go to therapy....
