Fimal Famtasy!
A Side-by-Side image of my poor recreation of the Transistor OST Album Art done in Paint Randomizer
I forgot to post the final result! Not too shabby by my poor art skills, and honestly the last 4% of matching made it look infinitely better
Slay the Princess isn't the only game that's crossed a major sales threshold over the past month!
Thrilled to also share that Scarlet Hollow has passed 100,00 units sold, just in time for Episode 5's release on the 13th!
Thrilled to announce that Slay the Princess has officially surpassed one million units sold!
When we started work on it, we couldn't imagine a visual novel would be able to hit such a milestone let alone being backed by critical acclaim. And yet, here we are. We couldn't have done this without you.
Time for a silly Paint RANDOMIZER! (I'm not an artist, but I'm gonna do my best)

The CBP agent pushes a woman onto the ground and peppers sprays her, the man is trying to protect her from them and help her up, which they respond to by pepper spraying him, tackling him, and then shooting him from behind. It’s one of the most upsetting things I’ve ever seen happen in America
Abolish ICE, prosecute and imprison its leaders, impeach and remove the President from office. This is the only sane reaction to a group of armed men kidnapping and gunning down our neighbors in the street.
Back for more KH1 Rando, but this time a race vs. @causeimdanjones.bsky.social !!!

I didn't play that many video games, but I did play quite a few amazing board games that I should probably track in 2026! My favorite board games last year were: Clank!: Catacombs, Slay the Spire (board game), Dune Imperium: Uprising, Lord of the Rings: Duel for Middle-Earth, and Furnace!

A little late, but here are all the games I played in 2025! Not that many games because it was an extremely busy year for me, but some of the favorites are in my top favorite games of all time!
While not nearly the most important thing going on, I wrote some jokes about why this year AI in video games is going to be the absolute most annoying debate. Even more annoying than it already is. Just deeply annoying.
I had a great time with KH1 Rando, so let's try it solo today to learn it some more!

Thanks so much for putting the archive music up for purchase again! I fell in love with your music just as you put them away, so I'm glad to finally be able to listen to them!
Hell yeah, Hell yeah, Fuck yeah, Hell Yeah
Happy Yesterbirthday to my Brother in Time, @barrykramer.bsky.social!!!

This is actually quite brilliant, up to and including the final sentence 🔥
Getting stuck causes players to explore the world.
Dying causes players to think about what they're doing.
An "impossible" situation causes players to learn how the game works and eventually achieve the impossible.
We need to be able to design *some* games around these fundamental ideas.
Whelp, there's no way to sugarcoat this, friends,
Through a combination of hubris and misfortune, I messed up...
Time for a Silksong Stream! Going to be going for the Speedrun trophy (beating the game in under 5 hours)

Been a hot sec, but let's try out Celeste Multiworld Rando with friends!

The truly maddening thing is that, unlike when I was a young man in science and the materials and engineering just weren’t there yet, the future is *right there.* The problem is *solved*. What’s holding us back is not just greed, but this bizarre nostalgia, an obsession with petro- masculinity.
I always get drawn back to Al Gore telling voters that he’d only raise taxes on the top 1% and then after the election a poll showed that something like 20% of voters thought they were in the top 1% and another 20% thought they would be in the next five years. Just a total tragic disconnect.
Oh most definitely!
Safe Travels back home! It was so great to meet you guys!
I’m opening a movie theater in which I show recently released films that I ripped from the internet but the studios are welcome to opt out if they wish.
Just read through this massive interview about Slay the Princess and got floored multiple times through the whole thing. By god. int-magazine.com/interview/sl...
"single-use plastic of the mind" had me GAGGED
