I recently got a copy of the UFO 50 Companion, and it got me thinking about how that game changed the way I thought about games as a whole, and which other games had done something similar. So I decided to assemble a Backloggd list of all of them I could think of: https://backloggd.com/u/nex3/list/games-that-changed-my-brain-chemistry/
'Games that Changed My Brain Chemistry' a list of games by nex3 | Backloggd
Every game I play alters meto engage with something is to be changed by itbut these games alerted me on a profound level They changed the way I thought about games as a whole and in some cases about art and even life itself Many of them are among my favorites but most of my favorites are not among these games They are simply the games that warped my soul around them
I'm getting my hair dyed again, which means it's a good time for asks! https://nex-3.com/asks
I'll probably post answers to my blog when I get home this afternoon

SEND ME AN ASK AT [email protected]! * Anything you send to this email might get posted to this blog. Be prepared! * Sign off with the (nick/screen)name you'd like me to use, and include a link to your website if you want me to make your username a link. If you don't, I'll just pull something from the "From" field. * I'll grab an avatar from your website if you've got one. If you don't I may use a silly anonymous image instead. For kicks. * For the most part I'll post the text of your ask as written, but I do reserve the right to improve the formatting and so forth. I'll also probably cut out the greeting and signoff.
this weekend my friends and I experienced the MCCONAUGHAUPS https://nex-3.com/blog/the-mcconaughaups/
House of Nettles • The MCCONAUGHAUPS
This weekend, a few friends embarked on a voyage of romance, adventure, and discovery all from the comfort of our computer rooms. We came together to achieve something that, to my knowledge[1], has never been achieved before. We experienced the MCCONAUGHAUPS: a two-day marathon of every 00s romantic comedy that starred Matthew McConaughey. The germ of the idea formed when I read somewhere that Matthew McConaughey, today known for his dramatic roles on the big and small screen, had spent his early stardom almost exclusively in chick flicks. It was, in fact, a conscious attempt to flee this typecasting that led him to refuse further roles as romantic leads beginning around 2010 and eventually through force of will mold his career into what we know today. Now, I have no particular affection for the man. I would say I hadn't thought about him much at all prior to this event.…
and here's my film of the year post! https://nex-3.com/blog/oaties-films/
House of Nettles • 2025 Oaties: Films
I feel a little less dire about the films of 2025 than I do about the games, but only a little. There are no films I found outright repulsive, which is a win I suppose, although I do feel like I'm still inhabiting the hater spirit in being relatively cool on films that sent people at large into raptures. Sinners was undeniably cool, but it was also unfocused, lacking in the clarity of purpose that's necessary to make a truly excellent film about supernatural horrors. One Battle After Another is principled in a shockingly impressive direction, but doesn't quite land the plane on its ambitions. Wake Up Dead Man is an excellent whodunit, but the writing and characterization around that ends up cartoonish as often as it is profound. The other sad fact of this year is that there's no film from it that hit me hard enough that I…
I'm splitting my 2025 oaties into two, one for games and one for films. the former is up now! read about my reluctant haterism https://nex-3.com/blog/2025-oaties-games/
House of Nettles • 2025 Oaties: Games
This year, I think I'm going to split up my oaties post into two, one for games and one for films. I don't want the posts to be massive, especially since I'm going to continue the tradition I established last year of updating my all-time of-the-year lists along with choosing individual years. I'll be honest: I'm not feeling great about the state of video games in 2025. I certainly missed some games that might change my opinion here—notable games I didn't get around to that I think I stand a shot of really loving include PEAK, Shadow Labyrinth, Of the Devil, and Kinophobia. I'll mention Despelote as well as a game I watched Eden play most of and thought very highly of. But on the whole, this year leaves a bad taste in my mouth and makes me feel like a hater. I always try to muster precise and…
@bruno love your construction of "genre" in your latest blog post. I think that's a great way to think about something that's so resistant to clean lines and simple subdivisions. I'll be rotating it my head for a good long while
