Valve's new Steam Machine was 14 years (and one big failure) in the making. Here's the twisty story behind the Steam maker's decade-long quest to bring PCs to the living room: www.bloomberg.com/news/newslet...

Guess who made it to Critical Distance's roundup! *sheds a proud tear* Also, a good reminder that if you somehow missed my kick-ass ARG essay (which includes commentary from Petscop man himself), there's no better time to give it a read

we laid off the people who develop the games, we laid off the journalists who cover the games, everyone is freelance and there’s no freelance budget. It’s probably fine though

Guess who made it to Stop Caring! 🌟 After pouring caffeinated sweat and blood into what must be my first proper essay, it's finally out (*fans swoon*) Massive thanks to @stopcar.ing for being a beast of an editor. Also @mryes.bsky.social for making an ARG I won't shut up about until I'm gone

I spoke to the director and top designer of Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League. They were remarkably candid, telling me that the experience made them dislike making games. But now they're teaming up on an indie project to get their passion back. New column: www.bloomberg.com/news/newslet...

just want to remind people of what I said about how I’d cover this game last year in this conversation with @autumn-wright.com unwinnable.com/2025/07/11/a...

Toy Story 5 producer Jessica Choi shared the letter she sent to Taylor asking her to join the film: “We are so inspired by your journey carving a path in a male dominated industry and advocating for it through music, and we believe if Jessie were not but a tiny toy, she would be equally inspired”

A friendly reminder that Double Fine's Psychodyssey is one of the finest pieces of media ever created, and a must-watch for anyone who cares about video games, yet somehow it's also completely free www.youtube.com/playlist?lis...

My friend in Japan gifted me this welcome handbook for new Nintendo employees 🍄

This might be one of the most insane scandals in game history When Pokemon Go players scan PokeStops, theyve been unknowingly building a detailed visual model of the world which is being sold to a military contractor to build a no-GPS positioning for the new generation of unmanned killing machines

Nothing better than kicking off the summer with a BIG interview ⭐ Big thanks to @ndisseldorp.bsky.social and Stuart for being good sports and @jurge.site for helping to set this little chat of ours up Having tried Big Walk myself, all I have to say is: @househouse.com is cooking - again!

After working hard for almost four years to build @debugmag.com I’ve come to the difficult conclusion that I simply can’t do it anymore without some extra help. When things go wrong, as the founder I quite rightly jump in to fix them, but that takes valuable time away from editorial work. Cont…

What a metaphor! 100% right. AI output IS all spunk and no uterus; ejection without nurture; splatter without growth; emission without crystallisation — and then, at the last minute, they steal someone else‘s baby and hand it to you and say well done you’re doing great come again

hell yeah

Wish you could best those multi-coloured Pac Man ghosts in the flesh? Now you can. A life-sized Pac Man arena in Singapore is turning a classic arcade game into a real world experience. 👻👻👻 Run! #games #arcade #pacman

If you have missed me writing about The Sopranos, you are in luck!

God damn. No one writes like @rbuas.bsky.social does (also, a good reminder to rewatch Paris, Texas)

Literally cannot get a job writing for a game dev company when all of them want 5 years worth of experience working on major published games. Buddy. How do you get the experience if no one will give you the chance to get the experience.

A class at my kids’ school put up little statements about the good they want to do in the world and I was over the moon about this one - then I learned they meant to say “teach people in jail” which is also good!

If they were an Edge writer, sure

Absolutely incredible. NASA Astronaut Reid Wiseman, who commanded Artemis II, took this footage from the far side of the Moon with his iPhone. Watch with sound on.

he returns! (please give some love to this brilliant ranking that must have taken all the blood, sweat and tears one man can produce to write up such a mammoth of a list)

I think a 20 minute session of doing an expressionist painting of Bert was the break down I needed to have today.

Sworcery turns 15 today, and we've got a big new feature looking back for the anniversary.

New on the site today, @julie.radiantarray.io on Pathologic 3. Read it here: bulletpointsmonthly.com/2026/03/18/a...

It is important I get 8,294,400 pixels (4K) at 120 frames a second. Otherwise it just doesn’t feel real. It is ok if half of those pixels are just kinda guesses based on zettabytes of YouTube and pornhub my graphics card watched

was making pasta ai funghi and started thinking that, perhaps, what Hamlet and Brothers Karamazov teach us is that you have to feel the ultimate grief to create some of the best pieces of art also: that Nick Cave could've almost been on this bleak list but I don't think Wild God is that good

My god. I looked at my linked in feed for the first time basically ever. It’s completely batshit. People walking around with buckets on their heads talking about goals. It’s like listening in on a Roomba convention.

How I draw the album covers in Wax Heads...

Just finished "Your Name Here". What in the glorious fuck did I just read? (complimentary)

Who the fuck lays off Matt Zoller Seitz

Honestly, one of the best reads of 2026. Still can't believe how good this is (and RIP Hoffman)

Cat’s out of the bag: I reviewed Resident Evil Requiem. What did I think? Maybe give that there link a click and see for yourself: www.startmenu.co.uk/home/review-...

Nice Lemons 🍋 #oilpainting #art

At last! It's been a while since I loved an online game so much, and you probably can already tell what game I picked as my GOTY

Unwinnable subscribers saw an excerpt of this last month, but here's the much, much longer convo I had with Autumn back in December about cultural criticism, my process, and a long, ongoing battle with alienation from my own taste and craft. A little rambly, apologies unwinnable.com/2026/02/11/a...

Mewgenics is the cat's meow (and I only played it for an hour). It's been ages since I played any of Edmund's games and didn't realize how I miss this flash-era vibe

Here's a regular white guy (literally "Chad") not a protester. because, "It seemed pointless, or just a way for people to expiate their sense of guilt." Chad witnessed something shattering. And, that all changed in a moment. Excellent article!
