IMPORTANT: leon kennedy and ada wong are both pregnant! not a joke! www.gamesradar.com/games/reside...

"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

|| "The world has made funny, broken things out of us, and it can only ever interpret what's girly as idiotic and crushable. But we, who have accepted the bruises, tears, and decided to breathe through them, know that femininity means resilience." ||

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

uploading my guts to google docs ⬆️

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. Thanks for the edits @ashleybardhan.bsky.social & @jazzgouldwilson.bsky.social www.gamesradar.com/games/reside...

they will not stop until we're being handfed protein blocks by tesla bots powered by microsoft copilot which we married in a beautiful AR ceremony sponsored by shein in a rented tenement built with the excess bone dust from our robotomies 🫴 www.theverge.com/tech/896490/...

Hi! Just reposting this as a reminder I could really use work. Happy to do anything within the games industry/journalism sphere but also very open to roles outside of the space. I’m a great writer/editor and have a background in arts development, administration, and grant writing. Any leads welcomed

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...

moomin killed a squirrel right in front of me 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 😭

It's very important to know which body fluid each of us would prefer a sea of

i can't defend myself, but i also won't apologize

beautiful ideas about a game i've mostly just been thinking things like "leon could *** ** ****" while playing

u know how recipes by suburban ladies always have like 8 paragraphs on forgiveness before they tell u the ingredients for mac salad 🪺 i wanted 2 channel that for my new blog about why i love dessert and lebkuchen from @astralshiftpro.com's little goody two shoes 🍪 plant-or-beast.net/posts/2026-0...

fan service is actually good and artful when it's for girls :--) 🦋🔪 more from my interview with fatal frame 2 remake directors makoto shibata and hidehiko nakajima, who kindly suggested to me that the ribbons on mio's outfit look perfect in photo mode: www.gamesradar.com/games/fatal-...

the fatal frame 2 remake devs emailed me a ghost story while i played their increasingly lovely demo ~~~~~~~~**** www.gamesradar.com/games/horror...

i'm going to buy this outfit on depop

27 years old, takeout containers piling up in the garbage, miasma collecting on the ceiling as the world fills with poison, and my heart fills with poison, and time starts to slow and ... only magical girl anime can help me now :c 🍄 www.gamesradar.com/entertainmen...

akira yamaoka surprised me by saying he doesn't think the silent hill franchise has changed at all — though i can't help but feel that all american towns, even those ruled by hateful gods and old cults, are different with time 🦋🌪️ www.gamesradar.com/games/silent...

i recently had the honor of meeting silent hill composer akira yamaoka, who makes music for the unhappy moment and was kind enough to say thru an interpreter that i truly knew his work 🕷️ i've been feeling understood by his sad songs, and i hope u will too 𖦹°꩜ www.gamesradar.com/games/silent...

'this is a juvenile way to think, but it parades through my melting brain: "i'm scared. i don't like this. i want to go home."' ashley's writing continues to fulfil and ache in utterly unique and beautiful ways still the best

what's it like to work with me? what's it like to edit ashley? one image, two answers:

🐰 life sucks, then you get infected 🐜 i played 3 hours of resident evil requiem and found comfort in its nauseating body horror ₍ᐢ. .ᐢ₎ it's like returning to the womb www.gamesradar.com/games/reside...

the world feels like it's crumbling in the foolish hands of the disgraceful US government, and i'm crumbling with it. maybe the leather nun from nightreign can keep me from losing it completely 🍇 not with a wimple, but a bang. new blog: plant-or-beast.net/posts/2026-0...

it’s another year for my blog plant or beast 🐞🌹 to start, i’ve commissioned the eroguro artist bl00dina for a portrait i’ll use as a new logo <3 to me, and i hope to you, this image explains that i’m looking forward to writing — no matter what ♪♪ plant-or-beast.net

return to silent hill is an incomprehensible mess 💔 and while i might one day think of it as a successful experiment in camp horror, all i can do now is mourn the silent hill 2 adaptation we could have had my ★½ review: www.gamesradar.com/entertainmen...

having midnight thoughts...

every couple days ashley is like "you ain't gonna believe what's going on in love and deepspace" and each time she is right i ain't
