After the tragedy in Minnesota yesterday, I ask a very simple question: What are we OK with? I truly believe this is worth your time. Also, don’t argue in the comments. Don’t even read them.

@CookieCutterDev Secondly, just as you have a right to tell us to shove it, we have a right to tell you your video game wasn't quite up to snuff. That's how a free press works. You can rib us "for fun," but it just shows your insecurities that you can't take feedback in stride.

News of a ceasefire is very welcome. But there is a danger of thinking all issues are solved and Palestinians are fine now. An apartheid is still in operation. An occupation is still in effect. Settlers are still terrorizing Palestinians. Palestinians still need your advocacy.

@ethangach Gonna plug an article I wrote for my (aptly named) website. My two biggest tips are to 1) vary up game lengths so you're not constantly playing 100+ hour RPGs, and 2) commit to a "2 games out, 1 game in" rule so you're not depriving yourself of new games. punishedbacklog.com/how-to-complet…

Here‘s a secret: you will never be fully ready to do the things that scare you. Don’t waste your life waiting for ideal conditions that never come. Write that novel now. Start that project today. It will never get easier, but you can choose to get braver.

#UFO50 from @mossmouth is one of 2024's biggest mysteries. Despite critical fanfare and an awesome premise - 50 games, 1 package - it has gone unnoticed in most GOTY talks. Well, @David_Silbert sure enjoyed it. He hopes you'll like it too. His review: punishedbacklog.com/ufo-50-review/
