Thanks so much to @startmenu.bsky.social for having me for their Winter Spectacular! This was my first time being asked to write a guest feature, and I’m really pleased with how it turned out!

Blue Prince isn’t just my personal GOTY, it felt like THE game that captured the absurdity of 2025. 🏠🗝️🚪
Winter Spectacular 2025 continues with a reflection on one of the biggest indie games of the year from @annacwebs.bsky.social!

How do you cope with the onslaught of news this year? By becoming a sicko. And Blue Prince is a game made for sickos.

Our game LONG GONE DAYS is finally BACK on Steam 😭💕

We lost a lot of momentum during that time, so if you want to help us recover, please consider leaving a review (if you haven't yet) and spreading the word 💚

the irony is that it's ppl like stephen miller who are incapable of integrating in to american society. that's why they're fascists. they need to force the entire world to conform to them bcos they can't fit in.

As I watch the desperate posts of talented, hardworking people losing their homes, begging for help to feed their kids, trying frantically to catch any work… I can’t help but feel that those who steered our industry into this storm need to face similar consequences to the Icelandic bankers of 2008.

An issue we're seeing at all levels of university is that many students are simply refusing to do *anything*. They aren't reading the syllabus, aren't following assignment guidelines, aren't engaging with material, ignoring deadlines. And this might seem like old news, but it truly has ramped up.

THANKSGIVING
BLACK FRIDAY
SAT + SUN
CALL!
CALL MASTERCARD, VISA, LET THEM KNOW YOU WON’T STAND FOR FURTHER CENSORSHIP

CALL AT LEAST ONCE A DAY, ALL FOUR DAYS!!!
#SaveSpeech

The call campaign is having an effect! The pressure right now is integral, if you are making calls, PLEASE KEEP CALLING. If you havent called yet or took a break, now is a GREAT time to hop on and add to the pressure!

with Black Friday being this Friday the 28th, this is the time to maximize the impact we can have via call campaigns

If you plan to participate in this call campaign, imo you should heavily prioritize calling Visa/MC as heavily as possible between the 27th and the 1st of dec
Spoke to my source familiar with internal workings at Mastercard. The holiday call campaign re payment processor censorship is working, there is a lot of pressure being felt from your calls. This is resulting in increased response times at a core moment for Mastercard due to the holiday season

I haven't seen anyone talk about this specifically, so here's a tip. Our jawline is naturally angled, so when we look up, it usually takes on a more horizontal shape.
Since human anatomy is crazy varied, the level of inclination changes from person to person. Enjoy studying your friends' jawlines!

Jordan Crane walks us through his entire working process, from sketches to printed book, in this 2+ hour conversation. Crane is warm and open in discussing his work, this video will be of value to anyone who makes comics.

if youre calling paypros and looking for a talking point to use as a jumping off point, this is a great angle to go for!

alongside just wasting their time, hammer the idea that their actions are LOSING them money!
I know it's more about clogging their phone lines but I also feel like telling them their stupid policies might prevent (or HAVE prevented) you from getting certain Black Friday deals and that you feel forced to seek other payment methods MIGHT be a good angle for this point in time specifically

I'm honestly surprised that with all this renewed interest in the Wizard of Oz that nobody's tried to do a thing with Ozma recently, but I guess studios just assume mainstream audiences are only familiar with things from the 1939 movie

watching @eyepatchwolf.bsky.social's new video on fake video games and what strikes me most about the process of making fake video games is it is largely indistinguishable from the process of making real ones www.youtube.com/watch?v=5hkk...
