Rise of the Ronin propaganda on my timeline, waited almost two years for this.
This is how being a ROTR enjoyer usually feels like.

Still floating after getting my first video game credit (along with @moemalik.bsky.social) when Goodnight Universe launched a few days ago. Deeply thankful to Nice Dream for bringing us on to spearhead marketing/community.
A lot more we’d like to do within gaming. So first of many credits, I hope 🤞🏾

It's not often that I get to publicly talk about the games I consult on. It was so rewarding to mock review Goodnight Universe before release, especially as someone who has such a strong personal connection to Before Your Eyes. Goodnight Universe is achingly beautiful, go play it! 💜

Goodnight Universe. Available NOW on PC, PS5, XBOX, and Switch 2 💫
A psychic baby narrative adventure. Hone your powers. Mend a broken family. Take on an evil tech company. Nothing a baby can't do, right?
If you’ve ever felt different...this story is for you.

Goodnight Universe reviews are coming out and it’s a surreal experience. Mostly positive stuff out there (85 on MC!!) which I love reading but I also appreciate going through the criticism too. Cool seeing publications I admire taking the time to review the game. It’s sick. Love y’all.

im competing with steam too...now gimme 100 billion dollars @amazon @meta @bigtech @bestbuy @homedepot
I legitimately didn't know they were competing with Steam and it's crazy to me that they burnt so much money on what sounds like something with very little (or wildly misguided) market research.

A lot of thoughts but all I can say right now is that the nostalgia I get from listening to this track is gut-wrenching. What a time. Fuck.
According to Wikipedia, today is the 20th anniversary of The 1UP Show. I choose to believe this is true.
I miss this work. More, I miss my old coworkers. Still the best and most fun job I ever had.
I’ll let Jane and Eric’s killer tune race through my mind today.
