For the past decade, I've been slowly cooking a small and humble book.

Part (alternative) history, part analysis, and part social critique, this is a look at what games also are and have always been.

ZEN AND SLOW GAMES

I don't understand why this is the biggest talking point about RE9. Leon is an OK protagonist, but he's not even the best RE character. Give me Claire or Jill and then we're talking.

On this day in 1982, Warner Communications announced it had adjusted its guidance regarding its earnings for the year - primarily due to the issues faced by its Atari Inc. subsidiary.

Tech stocks plummeted the next day, signalling the Market's start of the Video Game Crash.

OTD in 1994 The Budapest Memorandum was signed. It remains the most spectacular waste of paper, ink, and geopolitical optimism in the history of humankind.

​The deal was simple: Ukraine disarms. Russia, the UK, and the USA promised, in return, to guarantee our security and territorial integrity.

I finally played Horses. It’s a tight cinematic horror game with a unique, uncompromising vision.

It’s admittedly uncomfortable to play, but more due to the lack of agency than the graphic depictions of abuse (it’s actually milder and goofier than your typical A24 arthouse horror).

Weird situation. AI adoption in the work world is stagnating, while higher-ed institutions are rushing to embrace it so that students will be prepared for…the work world?
“we estimate employment-weighted share of Americans using AI at work has fallen by a percentage point & now sits at 11%. Adoption has fallen sharply at the largest businesses, those employing +250 people. 3 yrs into the genAI wave, demand looks surprisingly flimsy” www.economist.com/finance-and-...
Investors expect AI use to soar. That’s not happening
Recent surveys point to flatlining business adoption

When your dad dresses up as Godzilla at a party and a mysterious armor suit arrives for you instead of pizza, sometimes it's best to just go with the flow in this heroic RPG produced by Sega's Yu Suzuki.
