ok I had to pop back on here to say that I was like "lemme look at @aftermath.site - I don't look enough, and if I like it, I should subscribe" and so I looked and read and was like YEAH I SHOULD SUBSCRIBE, and then it turned out that ... I've been a subscriber since April. Snort. #IndieMedia

An incredibly touching piece on the importance of accessibile gaming from friend of the site @nicoleclark.bsky.social . I'm not crying, you're crying 😭

before i went on @aftermath.site's stream yesterday, my mom insisted on hanging up her close all tabs tote lol

Following Charlie Kirk’s killing, the government is scapegoating video games again — and completely missing the mark. @nathangrayson.bsky.social and @morgansung.bsky.social explain:

it feels so good to write again, to play games again, after the worst year of my life. i picked a ridiculous game (that i love!) to relearn controller skills with, but taking my time makes it possible aftermath.site/silksong-hol...

the two biggest studios in the space took a hard turn a decade ago, and I hate it. adjacency bonuses, megacities, diplomacy changes, I hate it, they've almost completely lost sight of what made these games so cool. endless legend 2 is just the latest example.

Our colleagues across Zenimax showing that the best defence against layoffs is a strong union! ✊

Tbf i can get behind them spending money on that. Noble cause.

Took the money I'm saving from Hulu/D+/Marvel Unlimited and subscribed to @assignedmedia.org, @theflytrapmedia.com and @aftermath.site.

Stepped outside of my comfort zone to write this story about a really cool group of players in a military simulation video game! Absolute pleasure to work with @aftermath.site and @rcmacleod.bsky.social. Please give it a read!

It was a treat to work on this story with @bjodway.com and get to learn more about the world of milsims!

Meta spent billions on AI so Mark Zuckerberg could look like a dipshit in front of millions of people: aftermath.site/meta-display-a...

I am terrified for the future of this country, but glad that at least we started building @aftermath.site a couple years ago — before shit really hit the fan. we’re beholden to nobody but ourselves. no execs can sacrifice us at the altar of a merger, and no bad faith mobs can get us fired

start organizing your tech workplace now. you and your coworkers will not only be able to bargain over the terms of severance with a recognized union, you will have built a structure that allows you to take care of each other when the worst happens. because it will.

ever since microsoft's layoffs in early july, the two zenimax unions have been fighting for impacted employees following the cancellation of the elder scrolls online studio's unannounced mmo. they've won laid-off workers more time (aka more pay), better severance, recall rights, and saved some jobs

Whenever you read complaints about a lack of "age verification", you should substitute it with "easily hacked third-party database of selfies and driver license scans"

This is a really interesting way to break down game categories: based on staff count, budget, and install size. Probably an improvement over AAA and indie.

they've got their own problems, but everything has problems. i really like the little clusters this generates, and also the names.

This is the vital journalism I subscribe to Aftermath for 🙏 (Also the answer is both. Both are really really hard.)
