Last month I was feeling guilty I'd run into so few cool pieces of SF-related criticism, so of course this month I am positively drowning in them. Some really good reads here.
adventure games from the 80s were intentionally designed to be tricky, mean and occasionally counterintuitive so that you could get stuck for long periods of time. this was called โvalue for your dollarโ
they previously wrote a book titled โthoughtless,โ go figure
Cannot tell you how depressing it is to read that people are simply refusing to read nonfiction after youโve worked really hard to write a nonfiction book you believe in, in case anyone is wondering why Iโm posting so much about my book which comes out in a few weeks #BookSky

Clever little budget-priced CPRG just left early access with a good launch discount, too.
A weird swampy fantasy setting, semi-real-time combat ala Vagrant Story and a cool claymation-esque art style. Also hugely undersold so far.
Go check it out, RPG folks.
Wake up, kids. This month in the Alt Rock Department at @pastemagazine.bsky.social I wrote about the New Radicals and the importance of having a shitty job, if only to know how far you can test the limits of the world.
