That's credits and true ending on Castlevania: Belmont's Curse. Deeply flawed but a treasure and the most enjoyable time I've had with a game in a very, very long time. My unified theory of Castlevania has always been: it's about momentum. This is a momentous work. www.avclub.com/the-best-wor...

Remarkable thread on the development of one of the best games of the best decade. This, however, is the most important point in the whole thing. Great art—whether it's music, video games, books, movies, or just people screaming at an audience—only comes from the friction between human perspectives.

Nothing is more satisfying than turning off every automated feature you can when writing. No, I don't want your fucking autocomplete. No, don't correct my spelling because I need to retain my goddamn ability to spell. Do not colonize my imagination or process, machine built by profit vampires.

So: my wife runs one of the five largest remaining first-run indie movie theaters in the country. Cinemapolis! It rules. If there is a fantasy version of a movie theater in your head—cool staff, great programming—it's this. Top Three Things in 2026 I Wouldn't Have Scene Without It (Pictured: Me.)

Another cool project: I contributed two essays to this 30th anniversary celebration of the Nintendo 64. The book is gorgeous. Ogre Battle 64 and Star Fox 64 were my purview. Wish I could share the art but... no spoilers.

Strange thing too. Even while I've been ensconced in creative agency world over my Bluesky absence, I've actually been getting some actual games writing done again. I wrote this for Laced Records' vinyl release of the Stellar Blade soundtrack. Came out nice. www.lacedrecords.com/blogs/blog/e...

Proust on AI, 1918. “He imagines a sort of composite of all the good books that he has read, whereas a good book is something special, something unforeseeable…”

He's the greatest, and you better believe it, baby! To celebrate Ringo's 86th, here's my annual birthday card - delivered with peace & love, of course - peering at his life as it straddled 1968 and '69 and the profound effect the period had on his life since✌🏽💜🥁🎂🥦 theymaybeparted.com/2017/07/07/t...

I forget where I read this but it is so true for me. "I have been living inside the Lennon McCartney relationship my entire sentient life." I celebrate this day when they first met - July 6, 1957 - and our Universe became a much more magical and beautiful place. #BeatlesForever.

6th July 1957 .. and a meeting at the village fete of St Peter’s Church, Woolton. We all know the story .. but, in the beautiful words of @marklewisohn.bsky.social, following Ivan Vaughan’s introduction .. “John, the elder, sang Come Go With Me; Paul, the younger, did.” #TheBeatles #OnThisDay

There are a lot of lessons to be learned from Colbert's forced exit, the big ones about govt corruption, media monopolies & censorship. But I'll most often think about how he ended things: with class, surrounded by friends & the people he most admired, joining in their art, completely full of joy.
