life is hard and then you chunk

let me become the elizabeth wurtzel of video games

i decided what the world needs is an 1800-word personal essay about why i feel sorry for the lumbering chunk twins in resident evil requiem, 🍒 so i put that on my blog this month. featuring quotes from the unabomber and sylvia plath plant-or-beast.net/posts/2026-0...

The biggest Post Games episode yet is about Bubsy (… and Mixtape) - A full history of Bubsy - The making of Bubsy 4D with its creators - How a Bubsy parody set in a real modern art exhibit refreshed the series - Pitchfork’s former news director on the origin, function, and fun of mixtapes

I hucked a glass bottle out into the hallway and IV stand guy 1v3'd her and her balcony lounge buddies

the worst part of being Good at resident evil games is i literally never took note of this character because i snuck past her then domed her with 6 rounds to the temple from the opposite balcony

I calmly walked back to the box, picked up the Requiem, and shot this thing in the head immediately.

my wife: what's wrong? you look like you saw a ghost me: Pearl meets mad cow disease

“attractive” is never a simple issue in horror — selena corey is a beautiful woman in a princess nightgown, but she’s also covered in… mold…. and her appearance isn’t what makes her a siren:

resident evil requiem’s best character is a singing it girl (it zombie) who’s like pearl (2022) meets mad cow disease — and i talked to her actor isabella inchbald about what keeps people fascinated in women who defy even t-virus for the sake of the show 😘 💋 read: www.gamesradar.com/games/reside...

love and deepspace devs just put out a bunch of videos of its characters having pool sex as stick figures, and i think that's beautiful www.gamesradar.com/games/rpg/fa...

my blog plant or beast! my job gamesradar+! thank you chris for supporting woman in video games (me) 🧛‍♀️

there's a guy on instagram who often DMs me "i love you" even though it scares me and i don't respond, and i'm imagining him being impregnated by a xenomorph

my version of the MCU would start with "girlfailure," followed by "girlrot 2." then of course there'd be the prequel, "girlhood: origins"

I'm becoming pretty concerned about a specific, increasingly ubiquitous error regarding how commas are used—that is, names being set off by commas when they shouldn't be—that I made a video explaining when you should and shouldn't do this. youtu.be/Nzygkg27JqY

do not despair! 🤸🏽‍♂️if u think this, you need to seek out more freak shit. the only benefit of social media, i truly believe, is that outsider art overwhelms it

babe wake up new plant or beast just dropped

a snail 🐌 woman 🎀 in the bloodborne DLC falls from the sky and DIES. she's nothing, a sacrifice to show u fishing hamlet is located above the hunter's nightmare. but i wish i knew how she felt before she fell, so this is the last page in her diary, written by me 🐌 plant-or-beast.net/posts/2026-0...

At NYU Game Center tonight, @plante.bsky.social quotes @xoxogossipgita.bsky.social and @ashleybardhan.bsky.social on the current state and future outlook of games journalism.

reading anne rice to the centipedes in my walls

exit 8 is another splash in the wave of indie horror game films 🌊(fnaf 2, iron lung, the mortuary assistant) 👁️‍🗨️ which i love bc viral games give movies an opportunity to create folk horror in a way they havent since blair witch 〰️🌊 but only if they DONT SUCK www.gamesradar.com/entertainmen...

i love chronicling the (unrecognized?) wave of late 2000s games that appealed to women w dark fantasy. i associate them with bigger cultural moments like twilight, panic! at the disco, and im glad the haunted vaudeville look is slowly coming back in fashion for the sake of the weirdo population 🙏

indie games will heal the world and my understanding of known arc raiders player @woodwould.bsky.social www.gamesradar.com/games/roguel...

"The magic of childhood is the most fragile kind". Great time to read @ashleybardhan.bsky.social's incredible piece on Lost Records!

there is nothing in the world that could ever make me turn to chatgpt. i let pazuzu write all my emails via ouija board

a plant or beast link in aftermath! :o thank you @beewertheimer.com and girl games 4EVA 🌼⏳👡

i'm depressed. guess i'll write a manifesto! plant-or-beast.net/posts/2026-0...

Resident Evil Requiem is great, but have you tried playing it with anxiety? Here Grace actor Angela Sant'Albano tells me how she prepared to play the series' most relatable protagonist.

i write for people with yuri on their deviantart accounts, girls who wear black cherry perfume, and Jesus Christ

the fatal frame 2 remake has awful combat that uses every opportunity to make you feel powerless. its story is also so beautifully fragile, i've started to love everything usually associated with "bad video games" but if i can't be weak here, then where? 🦋 www.gamesradar.com/games/fatal-...

hey so this broken remake of a game from 2003 is actually more important than gta 6! hope that clears things up!

I’ll sometimes read pieces about games that IMO make the mistake of foregrounding aspects of the writer’s life to the detriment of any insight or commentary into the game. When Ashley does it, it’s always earned and meaningful and, importantly, makes me think about the game in new ways.

actually, there is no universal "girlhood" 〰️〰️〰️

one of the sweetest emails i've ever received – from 2023, don daglow, who's being honored with a lifetime achievement award at GDC this week :-) i was 23 years old and probably wouldn't still be writing about games if it weren't for people like him

happy international women’s day 💋 let’s celebrate with resident evil requiem, where ”girlhood” is a biohazard 🥰🌸 www.gamesradar.com/games/reside...

my life is a series of woman moments punctured by brief moments of clarity

Is there anything more @ashleybardhan.bsky.social coded than this?

ashley and american mcgee may be the single most fitting interviewer interviewee combo in history

american mcgee worked on doom and quake, but even more importantly to me, he created ALICE ⚔️ EA controlled the IP and strangled it ⚔️ mcgee went into retirement ⚔️ but that's all in the past. he confirms to me a spiritual sequel to ALICE: MADNESS RETURNS is coming www.gamesradar.com/games/advent...

without sweetness, i am bitter & nothing 🍴

NOT FOR THE EASILY OFFENDED 😈 tbh i was unfair to markiplier's debut film on this ep bc i've been feeling bitter about my own life since some netizens are upset this was the case, i thought i should take a moment to be considerate and give my measured take on iron lung now: IT STINKS IT STINKS 😭
