The only thing a managed to do was, finish the providence trials with each character in Risk of Rain Returns.
That’s about it. What’s everyone else doing?

DM of the Rings Remastered CXXXIV: Hold Your Horses
I Think This Time of Year Every Year…
…things get a little bit busy. And by “busy” I mean sometimes **** just falls off the rails and you struggle to keep your head above water. That’s mixing metaphors quite badly, I think. Images of a train crash and going in the water in an uncontrolled way, which I guess *could* actually be related. The Well There’s Your Problem podcast did a great episode on the “Overseas Railroad” for the Florida Keys, where a train crash could literally throw you into the Atlantic Ocean.

This week has been quite mundane.

How are things for everyone else?

The Terrible New Thing
Fidget spinners are ruining education! We need to... oh, never mind the fad is over. This is not the first time we've had a dumb moral panic.
The Best of 2015
My picks for what was important, awesome, or worth talking about in 2015.
id Software Coding Style
When the source code for Doom 3 was released, we got a look at some of the style conventions used by the developers. Here I analyze this style and explain what it all means.
Control
A wild game filled with wild ideas that features fun puzzles and mind-blowing environments. It has a great atmosphere, and one REALLY annoying flaw with its gameplay.
Game at the Bottom
Why spend millions on visuals that are just a distraction from the REAL game of hotbar-watching?
Do It Again, Stupid
One of the highest-rated games of all time has some of the least interesting gameplay.
Was it a Hack?
A big chunk of the internet went down in October of 2016. What happened? Was it a hack?
A Lack of Vision and Leadership
People fault EA for being greedy, but their real sin is just how terrible they are at it.
Deus Ex and The Treachery of Labels
Deus Ex Mankind Divided was a clumsy, tone-deaf allegory that thought it was clever, and it managed to annoy people of all political stripes.
Denuvo and the "Death" of Piracy
Denuvo videogame DRM didn't actually kill piracy, but it did stop it for several months. Here's what we learned from that.
