"Just making a cozy game isn't enough to heal a person": Why Wanderstop and its blend of introspection and tea-making has stayed with me throughout 2025 Year in Review 2025 | Speaking with Ivy Road founder and writer and director Davey Wreden about Wanderstop's comforting, dark infusion

I've done a lot of interviews this year, but speaking with @hellocakebread.bsky.social about @ivyroadgames.bsky.social's Wanderstop (which is a game I haven't stopped thinking about all year) was a big highlight for me. What a gem it is. www.gamesradar.com/games/simula...

Just when it looks like cozy games may have reached their peak, they keep getting bigger and more popular. Here's my story on why and how for The Guardian, including lots of amazing insights from folks across the industry:

Ahhh thank you! 💜 I'm so excited for Grave Seasons!!

Playing a horror game is my worst nightmare, but these two gnarly farming sims make me want to brave the genre Opinion | With Grave Seasons and Neverway, the farming life sim genre might finally turn me onto horror

Love this piece from @heatherteacup.bsky.social One of my favourite things about the horror genre is its sheer scope. Come and play with us! www.gamesradar.com/games/simula...

The sun setting over a cliff by the sea in Avowed

The sun gets lower in the sky as it sets against an orange-hued sky by a cliff jutting up from the sea in Avowed

Watched the sun set in Avowed. This game is so heckin pretty

Coming to term with the fact that this seems to be an unwritten law of Lego

Pink frogs all the way

Either an errant piece has gone missing, or it's time I admit defeat and completely disassemble it to reassemble it again

I knocked over my Lego bonsai tree a little while ago and I still can't figure out how it fits back together. I'm stumped (as is my bonsai 😭).

Please understand, I can't wait to taste a Nintendo Switch 2 game Opinion | Hear me out

In the New Year I hope to assume my final form by taking up cross stitch, embroidery, and someday knitting.

Just two days left to go. I can't remember when I last felt this tired at the end of a work year. 2024 has really been something

Well, this has convinced me to finally give this a go!

god now i'm thinking about the mummy (1999) again. some of the best any human being has ever looked on film. a two hour nonstop bisexual awakening

It's a Songs from The Big Chair kinda day

A promotional photo from A Muppet's Christmas Carol, showing Michael Caine surrounded by titans of the industry like Kermit, Gonzo, Miss Piggy, and Rizzo the Rat. I have added grumpus heads over all of the characters except Tiny Tim. Chandlo is Kermit to Snorpy's Miss Piggy. Lizbert is Fozziwig, Cromdo is Scrooge, Filbo is Gonzo/Charles Dickens, and Beffica is Rizzo the Rat.

It's almost time for my favorite seasonal film, completely unaltered and exactly as depicted in this promotional image.

Nice.
