I'm always asking myself "how can this reinforce my theme?"

In art, in writing, in mechanics, everything

I want to create a sense of dread and doom

Silent Hill 2 Remake (2024): The Remaking of Memory Bloober Team's remake of Silent Hill 2 functions as more than technical modernization—it becomes a confrontation with how our capacity for empathy and judgment evolves over decades. The result is a faithful haunting that transforms both the player and the played. Introduction Memory is a unreliable narrator, reshaping itself with each telling, each revisiting, each attempt to make sense of what came before.

New Blog Post:

Bloober's remake isn't just technical polish, it's a confrontation with memory itself. Two decades later, it asks not only what Silent Hill 2 meant, but what it means to us now with the passage of time.

Citizen Sleeper and the Logic of Late-Stage Capitalism (Spoilers for the game included) I Wake Up, Again My body hums with decay, circuits cold under synthetic skin. I feel the weight of this day before I even open my eyes, knowing the dice I roll will decide whether I eat, whether I can buy another dose of stabilizer, whether I can keep going. I am a Sleeper, a borrowed consciousness in a rented body, owned by a corporation that sees me as a resource to reclaim.

My latest article is live on Play Meaningfully!

I write from within the experience of Citizen Sleeper, using its dice rolls, decay mechanics, and story paths to explore the broken realities of late capitalism and the hope we can build in the ruins.

Even if you don't agree that DMZ is COD's best game type, you must agree that the theme music is. Only other iconic soundtracks from them was world at war and the first Modern Warfare in my opinion. #Bestcodsoundtrack #gamethemes www.twitch.tv/videos/23278... www.youtube.com/watch?v=oKRy...
