thank u and hi new followers :—) 🦜🤍🥭 PSA i’m in bulgaria for the next 10 days and will be much more active on instagram www.instagram.com/ashleybardhan

had the absolute pleasure to talk to @perfectgarbage.bsky.social co-founder and grave seasons narrative director @emnays.bsky.social about dark romance and storytelling that gets my major arteries pumping 🌀🍥🌀 narrative nuance is the brass key 🗝️ to my heart ❤️ www.gamesradar.com/games/simula...

This game is insane lmao. Girls rule, and justice for the werewolf tech executive love interest!! 🐺

this was the hardest thing i ever had to write www.gamesradar.com/games/rpg/i-...

having a blog is important because it lets me take free silent hill DLC that no one cares about and turn it into symbol of my fear of being alone 😇 plant-or-beast.net/posts/2026-0...

i was so moved by fatal frame 2 and silent hill f's shared outfit DLC and what it means about WOMEN, FASHION, and GHOSTS in video games that i wrote about it on my blog this month :x can't help myself when i see a DUSTY PURPLE BALLET FLAT!!! plant-or-beast.net/posts/2026-0... 🚺

i'm so glad developers figured out that girls play horror games, because now we can all stop caring about boob physics and instead start noticing shimmer physics. look at that gold glitter on hinako's blouse. i'm crying

it's actually ok that everyone in video games is being laid off and no one has any money. it's ok because i am the ghost of a woman weeping in the stairwell, and my hands can't make physical contact with the xbox controller

hello I'm turning 26 in a week. This means I'll be losing my insurance at the end of the month. I know the job market's pretty grim in general, but does anyone have any leads on a job? Willing to relocate out of the US.

Here's a rare one: we're hiring a News Editor at Eurogamer! The role is hybrid in London, though there can be some wiggle room on this for a worldie of a candidate. We're after someone who can not only proof, but understand how to push a story forwards originally. www.eurogamer.net/eurogamer-is...

i had a lovely conversation with alien: isolation 2 creative director al hope and art director ana sopikova about whether or not FEAR 🌌 can save us. our conclusion is… probably :^] www.gamesradar.com/games/surviv...

“I'm convinced this farming sim horror demo is better than anything you'll play during Steam Next Fest” Thank you @ashleybardhan.bsky.social & @gamesradarplus.bsky.social for this fantastic preview and interview for Fractured Blooms! ❤️ www.gamesradar.com/games/simula...

fractured blooms crept to the top of my most anticipated games list after i played its demo during SGF, and my interview with @z.serenityforge.com only made me more sure this ~cozy horror sim ~ is actually something more rare, and spiritual 🦋 🍅 read: www.gamesradar.com/games/simula...

i am in no way applauding **** and **** torture. however, it's important for art to depict ugly things like genital mutilation and pinhead making u listen to trance music. nothing should be off limits in a serious medium if it serves the story, though AAA games often shy from shock... NOT THIS ONE!

Heartwarming: New Hellraiser Game Might Be The Only FPS Willing To Get A Little Freaky With Me www.gamesradar.com/games/surviv...

games are in their folk horror season — there's this, grave seasons, fractured blooms, neverway, etc — and i am crying tears of blood and joy 😌 folk horror is the best way to process our increasing disconnect from the Earth, what it must think of us now, + a great reminder to rewatch texas chain saw

I can confirm that this is true; I was at Heaven’s Night watching the game. They were even serving something called Pyramid Pepper Wings. (I did NOT eat them)

HISTORY.

I CAN HEAR THEM CHEERING FOR THE KNICKS IN SILENT HILL

i'm a "tradwife" in the sense that i'm married to pyramid head

silent hill is dead. konami killed it to build multistorey buildings www.gamesradar.com/games/silent...

yay!!!!!!!!!!!! i talked a bit about fatal frame 2 remake, easily my favorite game of the year 🦉

humanity is wrong / stupid / unfair / selfish / myopic / jealous so i agree with bloober, PUT ME IN THE SAW TRAP :^) www.gamesradar.com/games/surviv...

* while puking into a bucket * i am grateful to experience the horror

my alien: isolation 2 demo at sgf 2026 made me motion sick. it also made me want to stay alive www.gamesradar.com/games/surviv...

yay :)

the storm had subsided, and clouds bled pink, blue, red as the fingers of dawn touched them. the kingdom was in ruins. ashley kneeled to the knight with watery eyes collapsed on the castle steps and asked, ”do you have games on your phone”

IN A SHOCKING TWIST, i had something to say about a horror game 🤭🪼 and chris let me 😮🪼 thank you chris 🪸🦈

One @ashleybardhan.bsky.social is doing her very best

i wish the games journalism industry was in a better place because i’d love to read so many think pieces on Love and Deepspace and all the revolutionary things it’s doing, as well as the equally revolutionary ways in which its dev team is operating

i don't need the marketplace of ideas. i use a carousel

Hey, remember this? Well, for entirely different reasons than last time, it's happening. I'm looking for any of the work below, and frankly anything else.

i'm at SGF this year starting this thursday night 🐺 please either say hi or wordlessly offer me a dvd copy of the exorcist 🍎🐛

when the giant tells jack he’s going to grind his bones into bread, i was like “that sounds like it would go really well with rhubarb jam”

i genuinely believe our current cultural decline started with bronies. once friendship and magic is redistributed to all the girls, princess celestia will make sure video games aren’t bad anymore

i wrote about motion capture, animation, and bodies in games for TEEN VOGUE! it's very excited to have a byline at a magazine that i've been reading since i was teen✨ www.teenvogue.com/story/why-ar...
