Wow! Five-week combo now with TWO pieces from This Week in Videogames featured among a great selection in this edition. Thank you Crit Dist🙏 All kudos to @omgmorejames.bsky.social and @crapstacular.bsky.social: - thisweekinvideogames.com/feature/la-n... - thisweekinvideogames.com/feature/opin...

Love this piece on Titanium Court, and I think it's a good argument against the game's overt self-awareness, an issue that I'm also starting to have concerns about after thinking about it for a few weeks

Congratulations, straight people archive.is/202605311703...

Can't believe I was in my early 20s when I first played LA Noire. For TWIV I wrote about its legacy, from its compelling noir tale to the super expensive MotionScan technology that was, as far as I know, never used for motion capture in videogames again

I spoke to a few non-US folks (Soulmuppet Publishing, Modiphius Entertainment and more) about attending Gen Con 2026, and why they are still headed to the United States despite the uncertainty

‘The Good Advice Cupcake’ creator Loryn Brantz says she is “horrified and disgusted” after BuzzFeed allegedly gave her character to an AI platform without her involvement. She also called for a boycott of BuzzFeed and AI-produced animation.

if there was one thing that truly burned me out on working in games media it was this feeling that you have to *care* - about the place games hold in culture, where their development intersects with society, the role your coverage plays in it all - and too many people simply don't.

100% this but with one small tweak: i'm mad and disappointed

i've never been to the states or hung around enough white journalists but as someone from outside looking in, some folks truly are embodying the very stereotype of the white liberal elites

Being a freelance writer in this economy means either burning out from taking on everything that pays, to panicking because no work. There's no in-between

your girl is, as ever, looking for work 💜 essayist, critic, journalist, published author hire me for crit, features, reviews, interviews, reporting, news, and entire books words: lost in cult, unwinnable, VGC, RPS, EDGE, polygon, mothership, stop caring, and many more ashlikeadragon.bearblog.dev

If you ask me to check out your game (video game, TTRPG) and it uses some form of genAI to generate words or other assets, I'm going to throw the press release so hard into the bin and never write about it

Hello, I'm doing a story on Jubensha Con - if you've attended the convention, mind chatting with me on a story for Rascal News? Hit me up: kheehoon @ rascal (dot) news

Over a year ago, I spoke with @rasheedabueideh.bsky.social about Dreams on a Pillow for a piece that was killed before it could be published. I am honored that he was willing to take the time to speak with me again in spite of that and tell me about his beautiful homeland: kotaku.com/upcoming-ste...

Now's perhaps (or not) a good time to bring up a piece I wrote for @rascal.news on Detect Or Die, a TTRPG inspired by Disco Elysium AND Bluebeard's Bride. The latter is about players taking up distinct fragments of a single personality - and was released before Disco www.rascal.news/detect-or-di...

Did a fun thing with Ben, one of my fave ppl in games media, at The Wand Report - we decided on a letter series format (very much inspired by the letter series I've done with the rest of the @rascal.news gang) - and talk about our feelings on Zero Parade

Well @chiltonm.bsky.social wrote a Zero Parades review so powerful it knocked out all of our publishers' websites for a couple hours, but you can finally read it. Just use your MIND to pretend all the images are loading properly

It's heartbreaking that games as a medium remain out of reach for people telling the stories worth telling most. www.aljazeera.com/video/newsfe...

I'm not even going to pretend to be smart about Zero Parades, quite honestly, because playing through the game in <redacted> days to critically write about it is fucking impossible for me

Zero Parades is more cynical and grounded (well, philosophically anyway) than its predecessor. It's the 2000s to Disco's late 1970s, and it has a lot to say about modern society, even if it says it quietly www.techradar.com/gaming/zero-...

no truce with the furies. here’s my review of zero parades

This is garbage.

I’m NOT excited and I’m NOT thrilled. I’m honestly scared to share this, but I’m not a coward. I have to show you what you helped us create. None of this would have been possible without your help, and we can’t finish it without your support www.launchgood.com/1948 youtu.be/D4qh1FAPEUo

I'm still thinking about Titanium Court and how it becomes an even more interesting when you stop playing it

Have you checked out our utterly stacked month on the computer videogame Marathon yet? Still two more articles to go, but plenty to chew on already. WE EATIN: bulletpointsmonthly.com

Slightly increase a band The Wonder Decades

The Crane Rider's Tale is a fantasy mystery game with wild twists, 5 endings, and a cast of wacky characters inspired by Chinese folktales. We're 85% funded on Kickstarter right now. Less than 17 days left to help us reach our goal!!

so what's the latest in video games review discourse

Titanium Court is steeped in theatrical language, pulling from the medium to help establish the rules of it's absurdist world. And while the game successfully replicates these theatrical frameworks, it misses the most important part: The Point ko-fi.com/post/The-Pla...

yo what's up, I've got a new lil project out. it's a zine I made in a day, featuring two reviews: one of Marathon (2026) and one of Armored Core VI (2023). it's 2 bucks for 28 pages of extremely crunchy jpegs thresholded to within an inch of their life, and also my writing. enjoy

Double request for an article. I'm looking for: - Researchers or experts in digital economies that are dependent on "whales", or where they play a significant role. - Crowdfunding campaign runners who attracted whales, intentionally or otherwise. DM or email ([email protected]). Shares appreciated!

I wrote about how Titanium Court abstracts communication and starts conversations about what we give power, paired with some funny anecdotes and insightful takes from my interview w/ @apthomson.bsky.social. Game rules hard. Give it a read, maybe share if you like it! exalclaw.com/titanium-cou...

This is the world's most awful apology. "THIS IS A TITAN OF THE ART INDUSTRY who made an oppsie, WHO HAS CREATED MANY ICONIC WORKS but has made a small mistake, WE WILL FOREVER VALUE HIS CONTRIBUTIONS even though he did perhaps, maybe, steal another artist's work. WE ARE ALL HUMANS."

i talked to ap thomson about the weird game he made and all the bits of himself that he put in it: kotaku.com/titanium-cou...

"There's a shiteater on the right, so surely there must be a shiteater on the left, too"

Paste Games was one of my first paid bylines (alongside @unwinnable.com) and I probably wouldn't have gotten any further ahead if editors like @garrettmartin.bsky.social and @winnersusedrugs.bsky.social didn't give me the opportunity to write.

And now I have a byline at Rogue :)

I'm fairly certain I will not be reviewing 007 at this point, but eh, last shot, let me know if you're looking for a reviewer.

Hell yesssssss
