The Nathan For You guy becoming the defining artist of the era. ok!

(to woman on the street) You should smile more! The RCE vulnerability 'sad2shell' was just leaked via HackerNews and NIST has given it a CVSS rating of 10.0

Part of my literal job is to fly out to physical game studios to rescue and recover historical materials that might be endangered and put them in a permanent archive. @gamehistoryorg.bsky.social is a 501(c)3 publicly funded to do that, my DMs are open, and I'm free for the next couple weeks...

(peeks out window, tightens blanket around shoulders) man, it's really discoursing out there

(me, sweating, definitely knowing how to factor 4): That's right, this is very bad

We're talkin about localization in like 2 minutes: chat.roguelike.club

Lots of games get localized. But those games usually don't have procedurally generated games written by the Hugo-award winning @jfg.land ... so tune in in 15 minutes to hear from @unormal.bsky.social about how they're bending space and time to make Qud localizable: ti.to/roguelike-ce...

My toxic trait is a necrotic venom delivered via highly specialized teeth

Walk around the neighborhood with a 2 year old in October and you can witness concept formation in real time. "Ok. We worship spiders, as a people. Ok."

We can't wait for all the wonderful talks this weekend at Roguelike Celebration 2026! Each day this week leading up to the event we're going to highlight our speakers. Grab a ticket to see the talks live: ti.to/roguelike-ce...

It was an honest mistake, but processing shouldn't be parallelized. Do one thing at a time ffs

The news is like 18 apocalyptic headlines and then Mets beat the Phillies in 0-2 shutout

you know I keep that thang on me

shit got me staring mouth open at one single catastrophe which keeps piling wreckage upon wreckage and hurls it in front of my feet

*to patient* KETAMINE-assisted psychotherapy? No, no. BEN-yah-meen. That's right, Walter Benjamin. It's where we help situated the soul alongside the mechanical reproduction of the self. Yes, while on mescaline.

Roguelike Celebration is just over a week away! Pay whatever you can to join and support a range of talks, including my own that looks at intentionality in procgen narrative through the lens of Terry Riley's minimalist masterpiece In C. ti.to/roguelike-ce...

I'm very please to announce a public release of my drag-and-drop bookmarking, game-making, and wandering tool Scrubjay! Scrubjay is a weird website builder that lets you cobble together web elements, images, links, text fragments, etc into a series of nested rooms...

If you are a graduate student in the humanities (construed as broadly as possible), what is the MOST EXCITING book published in the last five years to you? Please repost if you’re not a graduate student!

Opinions on the viability of taking a 2.5yo to the ren faire?

ASCII roguelikes are the most epistolary game genre because they're letters moving back and forth

Very forceful statement by Terry Tao about AI and math. terrytao.wordpress.com/2026/09/11/a... Note, he is not claiming the models aren't real and powerful. He's talking about how that power should be used. This, I believe, is what all AI discussions should center.

In about an hour (11:00 PDT/14:00 EDT), I’ll be holding a Reddit Ask Me Anything at www.reddit.com/r/Games/s/Mo... (answering your questions about Thousand Hells, game development, or, well, anything!)

I want weirder representations of "readings"—the trace/artifact produced by a reader's interaction with text(s). Here playing with a cut-up "poster-ification". Cumbersome in many ways, but interesting.

2.5 years later, my GDC talk "Player Mythologies" is free on the vault! gdcvault.com/play/1034601... I'm really proud of this one. It tries to rewire your brain wrt what games actually do, what they are for, and thus why-and-how we should make them. Stand out from the crowd by changing lives.
