the Twarchive

From roughly 2017 to 2023, I played mostly games from the previous two decades, and dumped my live observations into twitter threads. These were often simple stream-of-consciousness impressions, like a sort of text-based Let's Play, intended to be fairly ephemeral. However, some became serious deep dives into technical art, VFX, and game design, and some became essays where I tried to bring attention to the artistry within commercially-unsuccessful "bad" games

In the wake of twitter's destruction, it seemed a shame to lose 6+ years of writing, so I've tried to archive what I can. Given the quantity of posts, there's a lot of Takes in here that might be past their shelf life, but there's a lot of work I'm still genuinely proud of too
