Our tiny little website currently has the 4th-placed story on r/all, which is doing all kinds of weird and beautiful things to our monthly traffic (which doesn't normally operate at anywhere near that scale)

Amazing work from @nicolecarpenter.bsky.social, as always!

Found my old Marvel Overpower deck and the character art in this thing is off the charts.

This insane attention to numbers reminds me of how certain music fans obsess over streaming figures, especially as a sign of quality or worthiness.

It’s sad.

I was unaware that anyone looked at the Scary Movie franchise with fondness.

I really want to develop a take that Emerald Fennell is TikTok Feminism’s expression of Nicolas Winding Refn, but unfortunately, I’ve seen none of her movies so somebody else is going to have to do that heavy lifting.

Been really tired lately in a way I’m having a hard time catching up from.

My partner is a big Stardew Valley fan but is not online like at all so she was very amused when I showed her all the Clint incel content after the 1.7 marriable character announcement.

A screenshot from Jimmy and the Pulsating Mass. It's a character called a Low-Level Goon saying, "Scram, punk. Goon applications were due by 12:30 sharp. Everyone knows the first rule of gooning is "be punctual." You don't got what it takes, kid."

I'm not sure that's the first rule...

A screenshot from my first Little Victories podcast, published on February 28, 2025.

A year ago today, gaming industry leader and indie icon Alex Kanaris-Sotiriou (@kanaratron.bsky.social) became the first guest of my Little Victories videogame podcast.

Since then, it has taken me on a journey to interview all types of creatives.

Happy anniversary, Little Victories!

Especially for games that were already slavishly devoted to replicating cinematic styles of storytelling. Aesthetic ouroboros.

For good and ill, Stardew Valley is *the* cultural expression of my generation’s go-to response in adversity: find authenticity, seek community, protect your peace, and when all else fails, write fanfic about marry-able npcs.

It is the quintessential enduring video game comfort object of our age. Its aesthetics and rhythms provided the foundation for our current notions of β€œcozy” and β€œwholesome” games. And it’s no coincidence that as many felt less and less safe, a game like SV would prove so appealing.

Stardew Valley, ultimately, will be remembered for providing ten years of counterprogramming for a generation of American millennials wanting something to look at other than the long Trump presidency and everything that has entailed.
