Another collab with @rafaelmotamayor.bsky.social. Not easy to put these together of course, but this went a bit more smoothly with the group than the fantasy list. Honorable mentions in the article link if you're curious.

Today, the IGNCG sent this letter to our President of Ziff Davis Gaming & Entertainment to demand pay that reflects the rate of inflation in our contract. Please join us in asking @errorjustin.bsky.social, @peer-ign.bsky.social, @corradimus.bsky.social, and @yprough.bsky.social to pay us fairly.

It’s a little later than usual, but it’s nice to get back into some anime coverage after coming back from leave. If you’re not already keeping up, here’s a good resource for the new spring anime season: youtu.be/KRh12VmjGrE?...

Shout out to @rafaelmotamayor.bsky.social for collaborating with us for this top 10. It’s not easy making a final list, but we felt pretty good about the results.

Daemons, seasonal powers, and giants are what you can expect this spring anime season. Check out the full list of new and returning anime available here: https://bit.ly/3P9UMEG

New year. New anime round up. Also a good resource to learn where you can watch these new and returning series ✌🏽

after flying back from Vegas last week, I was just laid off from Inverse today. I'm open to connecting over email at [email protected] and I'm definitely still in the writing and editing space. Expect a more in-depth explanation coming soon in my Updater newsletter. shannonliao.substack.com

Breaks my heart to share this, but today is my last day at The Verge and I am looking for work! I'd really like to stay in video games, preferably in some kind of journalistic capacity but I can do PR/Marketing and maybe even a lil Narrative Design. Please get in touch! www.ashparrish.com

Finally got platinum for Digimon Story Time Stranger! Feels good to just get into a new Digimon game again.

So stoked that Digimon Story is back. I spent the initial hours just planning my digivolution lines and making sure I have the ideal rookies from the start 😅

Didn’t think I’d ever have the patience to make it to Master Ball in Pokemon TCG Pocket but the new Suicune deck is too much fun to play 😊

Demon Slayer Infinity Castle is pretty cool! It did feel long though. Another example of trying to shove a lot into one movie. Guess we saw this coming when these movies were announced.

Some of my fave announcements from the direct today. Pokopia especially. It’s be nice to see the fam getting into an animal crossing vibe again

This fucking rules. Incredibly proud of all of my friends at IGN for taking this very brave stance.

After more layoffs, unionized IGN workers are done picking up the slack aftermath.site/ign-layoffs-...

In the four years I've been at IGN I've watched its staff shrink and shrink, all while those who remain are asked to do more and more. I see colleagues skip lunch, stay late day after day, and burn out. IGN staff are passionate and love their work. But we can't keep letting that be exploited.

Ziff Davis and IGN routinely decide that work done by our laid off colleagues is not important. But inevitably, that crucial work falls onto those who remain. Not this time. Not anymore.

Back at MagicCon Las Vegas, I had the pleasure of sitting down with @gavinverhey.bsky.social and @wotcmatt.bsky.social to chat about Unknown, the live "playtest" event that has become as popular as it is absurd. We dug into its origins, how it has grown, and why it gets to break all the rules!
