No one asked for a new tetris-like in 2025, but here we are. This is my game Plumbsum, which is about organizing pipes.

if you flatter me and say Threes, I'll give you a hug irl
Quote this with what you would have said your game of the year was at the end of 2014, if you had one, and what you would say your favourite game of 2014 is now, if it differs

My most radical take: games should have fixed aspect ratios!! Let us compose our shots, your ultra-widescreen monitor be damned.
Man, the video game hangar skeuomorphism interface or whatever the proper term is something we're seriously missing more of. There was so many amazing games with things like this on dos.

at this point it looks like you have to be putting carbon into the atmosphere out of spite if you do buildouts that aren't primarily solar
This is incredible (good news too): “After a 40% fall in 2024 in battery equipment costs, it’s clear we’re on track for another major fall in 2025…The economics for batteries are unrecognizable, & the industry is only just getting to grips with this new paradigm”

Batteries now cheap enough to make dispatchable solar economically feasible
Energy think tank Ember says utility-scale battery costs have fallen to $65/MWh outside China and the United States, enabling solar power to be delivered when needed.

POSSESSOR(S) is launching today.
I have been the producer on this project for three years, & the last few weeks have been difficult. Most of the team isn't around anymore to celebrate the launch, so I wrote many words about these incredible people to celebrate them.

Zohran Mamdani wins!
He ran on an unabashedly pro-transgender platform, stood up for the most vulnerable, as so many have pushed for the Democratic Party to abandon trans people in order to win.
Major win for trans New Yorkers - he has vowed for intense resistance to anti-trans Trump policies.
