THE SรANCE OF BLAKE MANOR | Just one of those wonderful games that gets you in a flow state - great for an info game. It's up to you which lead to follow/puzzle to solve. Loved how the story and mechanics leaned into logic and mythology. store.steampowered.com/app/1395520/...

My end-of-year Hidden Gems list is up on PC Gamer! They asked me for 15. I did 30. Somehow, Weird Little Guys and The Apocalypse were a theme.
2025 was terrible in every other regard, but the games? Good.
I also just updated my Steam Curator Page with all the stuff in the feature and a few others.
2025 was brutal for games media, but I'm seeing some glimmers of hope as worker-owned sites like @aftermath.site, @rascal.news, and @giantbomb.bsky.social have carved out vital spaces in the games community.
Earlier this year, I made a huge Indie Games Media starter pack for y'all. Let's celebrate.
alright this is kinda genius ๐
has anyone invented noise-cancelling headphones that let you hear your music AND your keyboard and nothing elseโฆโฆโฆโฆ.need
just trying to carve more space for writing and other tasks, and for better recovery/relaxation. i feel like i wasted so much of this year, but you need to flop to really learn, i think
i spent the holiday weekend not for Christmas but to start optimizing for New Year............ was just arranging my apartment/home desk setup and daily meal planning/grocery management and budgeting for four days...feels good
i played Hymer 2000 - a bitsy-esque narrative experience with Her Story-esque puzzle mechanics for you to explore the story and characters of the game. enjoyed how the story unfolded and the overall ambiance. store.steampowered.com/app/3255860/...

watching the noclip on DE just to relive the 7 weeks I lived in Tallinn in 2019
iโm honestly amazed at how fast things get fixed here. (as someone whose leg fell through a pavement drain that was merely covered in plywood in the rain, living in Manila)
Itโs also good to see Nintendo taking SEA seriously both as a developer hub and consumer market.
Switch 2 launched in SEA the same month as the rest of the world.
Nintendo eShop and online support has been added in SEA for the first time.
New distribution agreements have been signed.
Six months of living in Beijing now ๐คฏ๐คฏ๐คฏ I still havenโt figured out how to take back my weekends after workdays but Iโll get there

So, today I'm announcing a new book project... and doing a call for papers: crpgbook.wordpress.com/2025/10/31/t...
It's an anthology of video game history outside the usual US perspective - an accessible & exciting panorama of different realities - and I'll pay 300 USD per article.
Please share :)
