  • I am admittedly part of this problem. I have posted YouTube videos with little context (see here)

    The comment there is kind of what I was hoping to see discussed. I thought it was an interesting perspective on public hearings. It was a short 15 min video that didn’t seem like a huge commitment.

    That being said, I agree with the post here. I didn’t give any details beyond the title. No length, no summary. Not a great post in retrospect. And I get the same kind of annoyed feeling when people post just YouTube videos with little context on gaming. So I’ll definitely make sure I don’t do a similar thing in the future.

    As a mod for gaming I am definitely willing to encourage some sort of best practices when posting videos. Though I am not sure I want to go all the way to removing posts for not doing it. But I’ve been monitoring this and mod talks to see if we want to do something more official. So stay tuned I suppose. In the meantime I’ll be encouraging YouTube posts on gaming to add more details to a post







  • From the UFO 50 website:

    AUTHENTIC BUT ALSO MODERN - We carefully chose what elements to modernize. Every game shares a unique 32-color palette and we took great efforts to make them look and sound like actual 8-bit titles from the 80s. On the other hand, it was important to us that UFO 50 was fun and surprising for modern players, so we chose not to limit ourselves to the genres and design conventions of the past.

    They’ve said in interviews as well that they choose to view UFO soft as a game company that was very ahead of its time


  • My goty and one of my new all time favorites. It’s the best bundle since the orange box. Every game is unique and awesome and very well thought out. These are not mini games, they are well well thought out, clever, and fun games.

    Not all are for me, but I’ve had fun stumbling around each game and figuring them out. Favorites include:

    • Mini and Max

    • Party house

    • Rail heist

    • Night manor

    • Overbold

    • Warp tank

    • Mortol
















  • What I’ve held onto post election is my city (Seattle) and state had really good outcomes for elections. One of the few places in the country that swung more left.

    There were 4 initiatives on the ballot, all put forth by a conservative millionaire to repeal good laws. One looks like it will unfortunately pass (I 2066, to get rid of electrification initiatives for housing, which is a bummer) but the other 3 lost by a lot, including the one this article mentions. We also replaced our awful 3 time losing city council member who was appointed. And we passed our very necessary transportation levy. Not to mention our former AG, who was one of trumps biggest enemies last administration is now our governor.

    The next 4 years will not be nice. But I’m privileged, happy, and thankful I get to be here for them
