Ah. Well, then.

So with Comiket day 2 starting, the EGS crew have announced something they've been working on for a good, hot minute.

More information will be revealed in the year to come.

But in 2025... prepare to re-open the item shop.

I think most of all I love that flames that came before jim and merril passed through them to me and my friends and on to others who will make their own things unknowingly inspired by jim and merrils work and quiet social work keeping teens out of trouble.

shout out to jim ward whose memorial quietly passed on the IGF screen the same night we won our award, his work was a great inspiration to me, and I wish I had got to meet him while he was still around, but I hope I carry some of his falme with me through his work

shout out to the librarian merrill at west regional library who was many of our first dungeon masters as kids, running brutal oldschool 1st edition D&D games for local teens in the quiet florida evenings.

I'm so glad we got to give the world a taste of what it was like playing rifts and gamma world and D&D at our mid 90s south florida tabletops. We really thought we had something special, and I guess we did.

Anyway, I'm personally very excited for the majority of Japanese game devs to still refuse to give me playable builds of the games they want localized no matter how many NDAs I sign or security precautions I take despite being able to point to 99.99% of the leaks they fear not coming from us lol

@jparish.bsky.social A number of years ago I stumbled on the story behind A Link to the Past's Chris Houlihan Room, including the letter sent to Chris from Nintendo Power. I finally decided to make a video about it all, in case you're interested.

by age 30 you should have:

* strong opinions about birds
* 12 different "when i get time" projects on indefinite hiatus
* sandwich(es) you fruitlessly yearn to have again
* a growing list of obituaries you're looking forward to reading
* parasocial friendships with other people's pets

Young game journos, if you think it's tough to keep embargoes nowadays, please remember that I discovered Galarian Meowth during SwSh embargo and had to bottle up my screams for *weeks.*

As someone who has gone through "onboarding" at a Valnet website, it is 100% believable that this person has never even been told what an "embargo" is and the difference between that and a "deadline".

This happening at a Valnet owned site is proof that games media cannot continue to exist with 0 mentorship, editorial oversight, general education for new writers.

No writer assigned a review should not understand what an "embargo" is and how to uphold it.

This is just as much on their editor.

Gee, you could try paying folks what they're worth in order to encourage them to do the work, especially as folks become more & more aware of the value of their labor.

... Nah, we need the politicians to find us more slaves.

And then they wonder why they struggle.

Farmers in deep-red Pennsylvania are struggling to find workers. They're pushing lawmakers to move faster on a farm labor solution, even as Trump cracks down on immigration.

“We need people to do the jobs Americans are too spoiled to do," said one farmer and three-time Trump voter.

I said this at the beginning of the year and it feels even more true now - the way the MAGA cult views racial and religious minorities mirrors this passage that Philip K. Dick wrote about how antisemites view Jews:

The Demon Slayer movies have been such a massive money-making venture internationally that I genuinely wonder if Koyoharu Gotouge ever works again.
