Disturbingly detailed analysis of my first rewatch incoming

a response to the @rascal.news article on yazeba's bed & breakfast, clarifying some misunderstandings and (hopefully) providing a clearer explanation of what happened possumcreek.medium.com/a-response-t...

I may delete this because it’s a bit spicy but it shouldn’t be lost on us that games being turned into TV is essentially harvesting the stories written by those who don’t have union representation or healthcare with WGA by those that do. Our stories are good enough for TV but the writers aren’t?

We're more than halfway to the goal!

Vaguely recall folks here talking about getting an Apple device vs. a Lenovo device at work, and how that's telling of the strength of the company... anyone got a link back to that discourse?

A month shy of our 6 month anniversary (!), we're opening up freelance at Rogue. We're a small business, but we want to help build a place where new writers can flourish. [email protected] Instructions below! www.rogue.site/news/were-op...

Three... passes... *low chuckling* ... three passes... *rising, chortle... three... *maniacal belly laughs*... three passes....

That time I found a pile of old NASA research documents in a skip and took them home for a lark.

Listen, I spent nearly 15 years on the Google suite and I realize that it's a very limited platform. But it just works. I'm kicking off month three of exclusively working on Windows enterprise systems and ... just ... How do you people live like this?

I see they’d adding an MBA mode to Twitch.

So far, Hearst management has proposed lower raises than members received in their last contract, increased in-office expectations, and offered ZERO protections against AI. Send a letter to mgmt demanding they negotiate in good faith BEFORE 1/31 contract expiration:

A well-earned congratulations to our @huffpostunion.bsky.social members on reaching a hard fought tentative agreement! 🎉 We’ll share details following ratification ✊

Maybe this will make the throbbing subside.

I belly laughed. Felt good.

That cardboard box in your home is fueling election denial... A boom in profits for the shipping supply giant Uline provided the funds for a deeply conservative Midwestern family to bankroll anti-democracy causes around the country. (Published 2022)

I shared my thoughts about "Keep (your) politics out of (my) boardgames" with @danthurot.bsky.social for @wyrdscience.bsky.social

go read @ckunzelman.bsky.social on the newest Magic set already

Going through old photos and was reminded of the first time I met @brennanleemulligan.bsky.social and all we talked about over beers was birthing and doulas.

It's nice, in between how unfair this feels, to see everyone remember their favorite Dan bits and blogs. He was really one of one. It might be a chalk take, but here’s mine: defector.com/the-trump-pr...

We're officially fundraising for laid-off Vox workers. Please share and donate if you can! www.gofundme.com/f/support-la...

I'll never forget when this moron stormed into the bathroom wearing body armor at E3 while I was on the way out. I proceeded to sit on the floor outside talking with other members of my union, and he's taking pictures in there and moments from getting thrown out. What an utter embarrassment.

i wrote about mothership.blog for @theguardian.com today by the way. thanks so much to @mackeza.bsky.social for the opportunity to tell more people about mothership and what we are doing with the site <3 www.theguardian.com/games/2026/j...

Additionally, if you are a gaming outlet and would be interested in coverage from someone embedded in the fleet get at me. (So far I've had a few offers, but nothing that pays fairly imho. Happy to just enjoy this one myself before I sell the experience cheaply.)

Distant Worlds 3 is underway. Spent the weekend on Monde de la Morte, a planet with a one-hour orbit around a White Dwarf star. Time lapse by Commander Dukrous. youtu.be/7HXE2ifsP_0?...

happy mothership day! for mothership's launch i wrote about how much i love hornet and how it feels to play a female character whose compassion is a great source of her power www.mothership.blog/hollow-knigh...

i was very surprised by what these modders told me about why they do what they do and how their followers have responded to their work. you should subscribe to us so we can keep doing cool stories like this! i really enjoyed reporting this one out

No. No they have not. But I'll take it! Hey @itsquinns.bsky.social, I got Halloween all sorted mate.

It's new portfolio website day! charliehallwriter.com How's this thing look, gang? I write on websites, not build 'em. I have no idea what I'm doing here for the most part...

‘The people are being charged with keeping the peace, asked to stand firm against the federal agents who are disrupting it. This is a sick form of double taxation — your paycheck gets docked so that a guy in a mask can beat you up while you try to calm him down.’

Literally my first media subscription since I canceled the newspaper. Fuck ‘em up @midimyers.com

Reminder that video game journalism cannot exist without functioning newsrooms that have the capacity to mentor and train new talent and the bandwidth to pursue long-form investigative pieces and break news—all while paying writers a living wage.

I am really excited for Cole and Kyle to be branching out this way. I have nothing but admiration for the skill and craft they bring to the field. I believe this change will best serve the audience of Oath and Arcs. I am excited to see what both organizations can accomplish. Good luck Cole and Kyle.

It's time to board the Mothership. www.youtube.com/shorts/iEw90...

This is the outlet I'm most excited for in 2026. Get in the airlock, losers. We're goin' to space.

Thanks for the hat-tip, Cmdr. o7 In other news, I'm just about settled on my builds for Distant Worlds 3. Taking the Evelynne Christine, my Asp E., out of cold storage with about 10 more light years' range on 'er. Plus the Nightengale, my new Caspian, is looking good with all the fixins on board.

Starting to come together.

I love this time of the year in large part because there's always just a little bit of leftover ham in the fridge. *takes next ham out of freezer*

My fav question time of year: What’s the best gift you gave this year?

Our neighborhood is truly blessed with this lake bar.

The DnD cookbook still rips.

The big day has arrived! The day I post the Adama Maneuver again. Next time: 2026 🫡

Friends, I'm working on a short turn-around piece about collecting vintage video games, specifically Legend of Zelda stuff. Anyone plugged into that realm at all? Wanted to bounce an item or two off ya in DMs.

In-person office holiday party and multiple people are just, “Yeah, I don’t even have e social media. At all.” I… I like it here.

2025 is explaining to the kids that it costs Nintendo Switch-to-PS5 every time you get sick.
