This is a really interesting article. Thank you!

Right?! So excited for season Two and so excited that we'll get to see a proper (planned) ending to the series instead of a slow fading away before cancellation.

Wandersong is a game about happiness that made me really happy while I was playing it. Not all the way through; there are parts that are sad too. But I'm thinking of replaying it because it made me feel really happy when I played it the first time.

I've been enjoying my Fairphone 4 a lot since getting it last year. This camera update really improved the experience of taking photos.

Yes! For most genres of games, I've noped out of some games but completed others. It wasn't until you mentioned it that I realized I've never completed a Zachtronic game. I absolutely adore what Witness was doing, but I haven't finished it. I should go back to it.

Oh man. Polysecure gave me so many of the words I needed but didn't have.

I thought that too when I saw it. But I believe the Parker solar probe only looks at the sun. That was probably a huge disruption on the surface of the sun, similar to the little spots that are seen before and after, but on a much larger scale.

Could that have been the site of the eruption that caused the plume that the probe flew through?

Thanks for that! I actually had to put the game down for several months because my child had just been born and I couldn't handle one of the scenes in the game. It was heavily telegraphed, so I had time to stop the game before anything upsetting happened. And when I went back to it months later it wasn't nearly as bad as I thought it might be. But yeah, it's a game about the death of many family members, told through metaphor and fanatical imagery.

There is really something very different about this game. If you point to any individual part of it, there are other games that do that thing. But all together, it's quite unique. And it's a pretty fun game.

I learned a few years back that the Hugo Award that you see on the cover of some books is actually a very different kind of award than most.

Works are nominated and voted on by people like you and me. In fact, right now you can go become a voting member of the Hugo Awards and have a say on who wins each category this year. I've really enjoyed reading the nominated works and casting my vote for the past several years.

It's a great way to discover novels and shorter form stories that you may not have otherwise known about.

Special shout out to Catherynne M. Valente for writing something I love almost every year!

Hard space: Shipbreaker was my go to comfort game for a long time. Dive in, cut some walls, and toss some junk. Just perfect.
