Sam has done a lot of analysis on how Magic has acted as a canvas for formats which can become games of their own like Forgetful Fish. This is fundamental to the discipline.
Analysis in this vein is critical to helping designers understand that games can spawn games. They can become the toolbox.

Momir Basic reduces Magic to hitting the random button, consequently revealing the game's most essential ingredient.

A bit of advice: if you're condemning a group for their rightly condemnable actions maybe don't add the clause "omg you guys, you're making it so hard to benefit from the thing I really want" if you want to appear sincere at all.
But kudos for being so transparent, ig.

Hell, if anything, I'd say the mannerisms and physicality of the character are much closer to RFK
look, i don't know if there will be history graduate students in the year 2073, but if there are, you need to know this: colonel lockjaw was not a satire of greg bovino.
one battle after another was filmed entirely before he was a public figure.

The dolly zoom is probably the best camera trick with regards to the density of how much it communicates.
I'd go so far as to say the dolly zoom is better at communicating than the Dutch angle.

My Most Wonderful Card of the Year. I absolutely love cards that play with the concept of discarding and that have you playing value analysis games with your own hand.
Brewed many ideas with this one, one of which got me to Mythic this year.

It's my main gripe with post-apocalyptic media in all its forms is that it most often pushes the message of "yeah, everything is fucked, but you know what makes it worse? Fuckin people, amirite?" and it's just not fucking true.
Our species-wide instinct is to build communities and society.

We are a social species, and we have always prevailed through cooperation. Caring for our sick. Raising children we didn't sire or birth because they were part of our village or extended family. We are not breeders and predators, we are communicators and survivors. We evolved to UNITE.

Language-wise there's a very interesting thing happening.
When folks try to flaunt genAI they say "we're big into AI", usually trying to bring ML under that umbrella.
In the quotes from Vincke, there's more specific mention of ML tools rather than AI, as if trying to distance one from the other

This. I've seen a lot of the "-punk" movements forget that it's not about The Thing™ being cool, but rather about The Thing™ having been perverted into absolutely fucking sucking.
Sure, cities and tech in Akira and Ghost in the Shell look cool, but life 100% fucking sucks in them.

as I've remarked before, cyberpunk isn't 'I glitch into the webframe and draw my katana', it's 'the life of a man working for a criminal syndicate in Myanmar who spends his days pretending to be different women online to steal from the elderly'
People are dying over who gets to steal from a dude in Iowa who thinks the model who "accidentally" texted him has fallen in love with him.

Big shoutout to Edd for working on this. UIDB is an incredible resource for reference work, research and experimentation
The Game UI Database is FIVE today! They grow up so fast.
A HUGE thank you to everyone for supporting my work, I couldn't have done it without you. BIG things are coming in 2026 - new sites, new features, and one heck of a book from @lostincult.co.uk. Watch this space!
Here's to the next 5 years! <3

Hi people!
What advice would you give to someone who is trying to learn how to start their own publishing company?
The rough idea is to try and create not only a publisher for local game designers, but also a localizing partner to help out designers from across the globe.
