So Technorati is going totally nuts and reporting links that aren’t there. For example, it tells me that this woman linked me twice today, which is a nice trick since she only posted once, and that post did not link anywhere. (This is clearly a fluke. I’m sure there are no links here from that site.)
But what’s REALLY freaking me out as I sit here in a 4a.m. insomnia-induced daze, is that the photograph on the left side of her site looks almost exactly like my son. It’s very odd to visit the blog of a total stranger and see a picture of my own son, looking the way he did about 18 months ago, wearing clothes he’s never owned.
I really should get some sleep.
LATER: I did. It still freaks me out.
Bethesda’s Launcher is Everything You Expect
From the company that brought us Fallout 76 comes a storefront / Steam competitor. It's a work of perfect awfulness. This is a monument to un-usability and anti-features.
Dead or Alive 5 Last Round
I'm not surprised a fighting game has an absurd story. I just can't figure out why they bothered with the story at all.
PC Hardware is Toast
This is why shopping for graphics cards is so stupid and miserable.
The Opportunity Crunch
No, brutal, soul-sucking, marriage-destroying crunch mode in game development isn't a privilege or an opportunity. It's idiocy.
The Best of 2019
I called 2019 "The Year of corporate Dystopia". Here is a list of the games I thought were interesting or worth talking about that year.
Better get Akismet. It looks like the comment spammer that has been hitting me has just found you. Actually, as few as are getting through, I suspect you already have it operating, but just in case, I thought I’d recommend it.
hmm, well, sorry, no need to be paranoid, I’ve never been here before and doubt I will ever come again. I only came here because you came to my site. Trust me, I’ll never link you.
