Inverse's Gaming section is being shut down as the company "divests" from gaming content. I'm out of a job along with my wonderful co-writers. I've put my heart and soul into this job for four years. Gonna need to take time to process, but I'm now completely open for work - and boy do I need it.

Inverse has decided to "divest from gaming content" so I'm out of a job again! This is almost certainly the end of my career in games media, and probably the end of my writing career. I'd love for that not to be the case, so I'd appreciate any leads but I'm honestly not hopeful for obvious reasons♥️

Look at their faces. Civilians in Dnipro shelter underground as missiles and drones hit the city. You can hear them count: “Explosion number 25.” This is not war footage. This is terror against people.

Prince of Persia fans that have long been looking forward to a remake of a classic should be on standby! The Prince of Persia: Sands of Time Remake has now been rated by the ESRB, suggesting a release is, at least...close by. Details:

Unions and community orgs are calling for a Minnesota-wide shutdown in 10 days to protest the ferocious assault by federal immigration agents. They're saying on Jan 23, no work, no school, no shopping. SEIU Local 26, UNITE HERE Local 17, & others are supporting, w/ more to join. By me, Amie Stager

American Federation of Teachers is (finally!) dumping X, and moving to Bluesky. Good for them!

Grounded 2 has a new Public Test Build available, and we have the full patch notes, including a new snake.

I coulda sworn that dude Slate republished said that ICE and the cops were oh so very different and that's why it's fine to abolish ICE but abhorrent to defund the police. Hm.

People who aren't in Minnesota might not know that if you drive or walk past pretty much any school, there's going to be a group of people, parents and childless, standing guard to make sure the kids are safe from feds. It's pretty remarkable. And very disturbing. www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...

I really need someone to parody walk like an Egyptian to walk like a penguin and show on video a bunch of ice doofuses falling on ice.

Thank you for making Minnesota not feel alone right now. Since MinnMax is a Minneapolis-based outlet, we unpack how the city is feeling in this public episode of Bonus Pod. youtu.be/OY6ZPb2NHO8 ICE out of Minneapolis.

And honestly, I think in general this attack on my city shows a total lack of understanding the basic character of Minnesotans, underestimating our tenacity, stubbornness, resilience, communality, and absolute willingness to volunteer for shit and show up. The revolution has a Sign-Up Genius.

From a good friend in Minneapolis: "Target is allowing ICE to stage in their parking lots, use their restrooms, and abduct people from inside their stores - so if you weren’t boycotting already, now is the time." They were staging in Chicago as well.

AOC: I want everybody to understand that the cuts to your health care are what’s paying for this. You get screwed over to pay a bunch of thugs in the street that are shooting mothers in the face.

There’s reports that there will be 1,000 more agents coming to our city. We need that same surge in residents out patrolling our streets. Even if you can’t patrol, come work from a coffee shop on one of cultural corridors so you can be there to show up for our neighbors.

A little over a year ago Valve sent me a Steam Deck to review. I made this review a year ago and if anything I love this thing more today. It's what sold me on a Steam Machine. youtu.be/o_Y04_Y6kt0?...

On the #GameMakersNotebook, @trentkusters.bsky.social chats with @doublefine.com's @leepetty.bsky.social about KEEPER, where the idea to bring a lighthouse to life came from, why they avoided dialogue, how silence and emptiness can shape emotional tone, the importance of restraint, and more!

A Minnesota state representative said two Richfield Target employees detained by U.S. Border Patrol on Jan. 8 were U.S. citizens and were both injured in the incident.

There is a longer version of the video of a kidnapping of this kid - there really is no other word for it - here. As he is being shoved into the DHS vehicle he breaks down. At about the 2 minute mark you hear a DHS agent say "wow - fucking child" sarcastically. bringmethenews.com/minnesota-ne...

Reposting after what's happening in minneapolis right now especially after there was a video on YouTube about an American citizen a black American citizen being kidnapped by Ice after they made her car crash

Ukrainian forces from the 13th Brigade “Khartia” have taken control of the Kupyansk City Council building. A Ukrainian flag now flies over the town hall. Reports say Kupyansk is almost free of Russian troops. Glory to Ukraine.

Patty, a woman observer in Minneapolis, was abducted from a car by federal agents today. She was released and talked about her experience in custody. An agent said, "You guys gotta stop obstructing us. That's why that lesbian bitch is dead." 🙏🏼 @statuscoupnews.bsky.social

In Bitcast 368 we talked New Game Plus showcase, The Blood of Dawnwalker, and Fable expectations. But I also got to wax lyrical about Anthem a bit as the game went dark last night. One of the strongest cases in gaming of “what could have been.” 🫡 www.youtube.com/live/G5tMIS2...
