The past few years, since 2017 actually, I've spent the month writing tweets/posts about my 31 favorite things from the past year.

I'm still going to do that again this year, just in a different form:

Creatives have done work for hundreds of years without AI - concept art, prototyping, iterating. I don't want to play a game that outsources that work to a computer
I think it's nice when concept art shows the evolution of people's creative processes instead of a prompt, but what do I know

It's been hard to keep to one a day this year considering I am a *lot* busier in my day-to-day than last year but I will keep marching on! Just gotta find the time for it

losing my mind watching people genuinely complain that there wasn’t enough ‘variety’ in their awards show because Expedition 33 - a game that is exceptional in almost every way - won several awards for being exceptional in almost every way

Sorry but I'm an Expedition 33 apologist. Great game, even as an RPG lover

The end of the year is always my favorite time as a games writer, and I always try to get an interview for one game that really hit me. So here's a big interview with Kazutaka Kodaka and Kotaro Uchikoshi, on creating the wild experiment of The Hundred Line www.inverse.com/gaming/the-h...
'The Hundred Line' Creators Say Risking Bankruptcy For A Game With 100 Endings Was 'Worth It'

I've only seen Monster from Kore-eda but it should say something that as someone fundamentally against live action adaptations like this that I'm beyond stoked to see what he does
"Look Back" live-action film is coming in 2026.
Directed by Hirokazu Kore-eda.

This is why Kentucky Route Zero and 1000xResist are the goats
There should be more games inspired by avant-garde stage design.
