Today's links Priceful: So worthless we can tell you what it's worth. Hey look at this: Delights to delectate. Object permanence: Nasdaq allows post-9/11 penny stocks; USAF can shoot down civilian aircraft; TSA bans calling Kip Hawley an idiot; Wells ...
There's been a wave of furry horror games with surprisingly elaborate tactical simulation elements, and when I say "wave", I mean that I'm aware of two. One is Casualties: Unknown, a 2D misericore spelunking experience with an injury system so ...
Shin honkaku is a sub-genre of Japanese detection fiction — and my new obsession! I’ve even designed my own book cover, scroll down to see… An intro to the genre “Shin honkaku” translates to “new orthodox” and pays homage to ...
Quick note before we begin: this is the first of two posts I’m publishing today. You’re welcome to skip ahead to: Shin honkaku — it’s far more fun! I’ve waited long enough! I’ve entertained one “wait six months” too many! ...
Early in horror game Clive Barker's Hellraiser: Revival, the character you play, Aidan, and his partner Sunny, are pushing the bounds of the sex they enjoy together. Already into BDSM, they discover a puzzle box that, when solved, will allow ...
I don’t mean to immediately renege my plan to largely ignore AI stuff but “The AI Artist Paradox” by Heydon is solid logic I appreciate. I’ve never been protective over “art”. Anything can be “art”; doesn’t mean it has any ...
Marvel at God's patience. Cain could've heeded the Lord's warnings, it would've been right.
My latest post “Shin honkaku” has a fancy new typographic header. It’s progressively enhanced (for reasons) so only supporting browsers (Chromium, for now) will see it. The inverted colours come from my custom dark mode experiment. The jiggery-pokery in my ...
New iPhone 18 Pro is much better at staying cool in the Florida sun but it's still no match for a 65°C far infrared sauna. 🧖♂️
“Triple Threat” Josh Collinsworth has a brand new daily puzzler game called Tupo. On it’s surface it looks like a simplified 4×4 Sudoku block but with colored squares. That is the foundation for a simple ruleset: Every row and column ...
Sundays are for recovering from the friend-of-a-spouse’s wedding you attended on Saturday while suffering from an acute case of Old Person’s Back. Unfortunately, the time for recovery has in fact passed, as you have already moved to the more immediately ...

It is very surprising that disabling iPhone/iPad auto-lock (say, changing from "3 minutes" to "Never") doesn't require an authentication step. Bad actor with temporary access to your device could enable it and wait until you leave your phone out and ...
I'm sure I had at least three more sets of Saturdays and Sundays in my September box. That thief time has snuck in again and picked up all the unattended days. If you see him, give him a whack on ...

My blog is standard.site ready but I’m pausing full integration for now. I desperately wanted the fancy button but after its novelty wore off I’ve accepted the truth. The Bluesky button is bad UX. This has been widely complained about ...
There’s plenty to dislike about this latest round of corporate-mandated Xbox misery. The hundreds more human beings losing their livelihoods. The embracing of risk-averse factory line development. The fact that nobody, still, knows what on earth is happening with Arkane. ...
I have no RAM, and I must scream
Demo sessions are often terrible ways to see a game, doubly so at conferences. You want to sink into a game at your own pace (and with unbroken access to fresh cups of tea), not get dropped into the middle ...
Exactly on this day, September 25 2001, Apple shipped version 10.1 of their OS X operating system. The one they later would rename to macOS. Exactly twenty-five years ago today. Within all their fancy release presentations and videos there are ...

Control Resonant is almost everything I wanted from a Remedy-flavoured character action game, including several sub-things I didn’t initially believe it would pull off. However, one particular ambition has failed to come good: the ability for me to play it ...
