speaking as the kind of person for whom "is the new arrange soundtrack good" is 75% of why I would buy a remaster, finding out that the FF6 pixel remaster arrange tramples Searching for Friends' incredible bassline into inaudibility with bland orchestration is the hardest no-sell imaginable

one of the weird things about using an RSS feed in 2025 is that it becomes exceptionally transparent just how much kotaku - which only has the "all stories" feed and nothing else - pivots to genuinely like 80+% of their articles being amazon prime ads during this period

IGF Games I Want To Talk About 2025 is now up on my blog! Please enjoy reading about 10-and-change games from this year's Independent Games competition that I thought were really cool and worth your time.

Crunch is always a failure of project management, but the biggest mistake that it makes is the assumption that forcing people to work 7-day weeks actually makes them more productive. Inevitably and almost immediately, crunching workers results in sloppier work, more bug regressions, mistakes, etc. And that's before you even get to the damage to people's health and morale. Anyone who crunches their employees doesn't deserve to be in charge of any other human being.
