Had a brilliant chat with @mattnava.bsky.social about @giantsquidstudios.com's Sword of the Sea and the hardships it went through to see the light of day - oh, and what a sensory delight of a game it is 🏄

Been thinking about this all week; but really this just brings a bunch of stuff bubbling up that I've been sitting on for way longer. On the death of criticism: noescapevg.com/games-critic...

Let this be a constant reminder that most people don’t know shit about shit. If you are a creative, get the idea you’ve been holding on to off the drawing board and out into the world. The right people will get it.

The best alternatives to Spotify for listening to music

I reviewed Mashina for Start Menu :^)

Hit like if you read film criticism weekly and repost if you read film criticism more than that

Hey, that's my therapist's building

Going to repeat myself here, but Artemis is one of the best writers I know ⭐ Seeing a new article from them never fails to stop me in my tracks and make me read the whole thing in one gulp - and this one is no exception (Also: go sub to Stop Caring!)

NEW: During an interview at the Xbox booth on the Gamescom show floor, I attempted to ask a veteran Obsidian developer for their thoughts on making video games at Microsoft amid layoffs and widespread criticism over the company's links to Israel. I was immediately shut down.

My new article is for Stop Caring is live. A short write-up on Metal Garden by @aleksandraht.bsky.social, how it made me ponder about ideas of 'escape', and how it reflects certain concerns I have about our Real World. It's one of my favorite games of the year. Definitely worth checking out.

One of the great modern American film magazines needs your help! The best way to help is to get a 1 year subscription. The price -- $2.41 a month!! -- is bargain for all the great writing and illustrations it'll help pay for.

Honored to be mentioned among the best of July's crop 🙌 (pssst, it's a very exclusive interview that you should check out if you haven't already!)

Has any game been as out of step with its time as Battlefield 6, which depicts the U.S. as a victim of the collapse of the post-World War II order instead of one of the main reasons it might happen? www.endlessmode.com/article/batt...

big WTF (or: here goes another one...)

Been chipping away at this beast of an interview for a good month, but can finally share it with y'all ⭐ Big jolly thank yous go to @kamibox-ph.bsky.social ph.bsky.social and Lorraine Bowen for making this charming little game & cracking me up during the interview - now, go play PBJ - The Musical!

The MGS Delta Collector’s Edition is a GAME exclusive in the UK.

Archie Bland nails the Bob Vylan situation: "For anyone who routinely sees videos of the aftermath of Israeli violence against civilians in their social media feeds, this is enough to make you feel crazy." www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Aftermath (at last) has a pitch guide! We're a growing outlet and can only accept so much right now, but we'd love to see stories you think might be right for us. Learn more about what we're looking for and how to pitch here: aftermath.site/aftermath-free...

In 2004 teen fans disappointed by Ashlee Simpson's lip-synching were told they subscribed to a virulent ideology called rockism. 20 yrs later a pro-pop ideology has become hegemonic, delegitimizing all criticisms of the most cynical business aspects of pop culture culture.ghost.io/the-pro-pop-...

Been playing a bit of @babystepsgame.bsky.social and my god it is so infuriatingly good. Not sure how many times my patience can take sliding down the hill facedown and losing 15 mins of progress, but I'll take my chances when it comes out

I sincerely, unironically, believe that this should be the actual cover because it rulez

Just found out that Madonna did a sex book back in the 90s and damn it's kinda metal

You can’t approach creative work with the same mindset you approach work you don’t want to do. We’re never taught how to work out of true love of our craft. It should feel like summer vacation even if it’s difficult, time consuming, or even painful. Creative work is not wage slaving.

Since this beautiful thing arrived in my mailbox recently, I wanted to brag a little on how happy I am with the way my first cover feature for @debugmag.com turned out! ⭐ Shoutout to @danielcrocker.uk and maestro @kt.uvula.jp for making whimsical dioramas that bring happiness in these dire times.

ffs Google (also: very good read 👏)

Two thoughts after watching the latest episode of The Rehearsal: 1) Being Nathan Fielder's therapist must be no less stressful, confusing & exciting than being Tony Sopranos therapist 2) Just imagine what this guy's memoir will read like... (buying two copies)

We recently spent four hours with the Nintendo Switch 2. Here's the first of our multi-part hands-on impressions. Story by James Burns. ➡️ https://www.superjumpmagazine.com/nintendo-switch-2-hands-on-preview-part-1-the-hardware-and-mario-kart-world/

Yeah, don’t do this It’s like admitting that you asked a dishonest and stupid person to do your work for you and don’t actually care about the results

the Marathon alpha released recently and its environments are covered with assets lifted from poster designs i made in 2017. @bungie.net @marathonthegame.bungie.net

Got high last night and watched Nathan for You's The Best Buy episode - as fans claimed it's the best introduction to the show... I don't remember laughing so loud in a long long time. We need to protect this beautiful, weird man at all costs

This is bleak reading

One of the best interviews I've read in a while. If you're a dear Nubbyhead - do yourself a favor and read this one ⭐ #nubbysnumberfactory

I wrote about AC/DC for @thequietus.com and it’s the best thing I’ve ever done. If I don’t win a Pulitzer for it, I’m quitting music criticism and starting a band. Check it out, rockers. thequietus.com/opinion-and-...

A reminder of what we're losing here

I know there are lots of institutional factors to consider and it's dumb to blame individuals but at the same time I'm so mad at these fucking dipshits

In many ways, Artemis is a bigger person than I am for speaking out and taking a stand when it comes to matters like this. Brilliant writer and a brilliant colleague. Now -- go read ⭐

Super excited to present y'all my first ever cover feature! 🤩 With exclusive commentary (and doodles) from the legendary @kt.uvula.jp himself Big thanks to @danielcrocker.uk for trusting me with this one. And of course: go buy the latest issue of @debugmag.com to keep print mags alive

Katana ZERO DLC Still coming. Still free.

Right after submitting my entry, the same weekend I finally(!) finished Red Dead Redemption 2 (but decided to withhold from writing about it too here because - as you can see - it's quite hefty already... @kt.uvula.jp's Wattam is a beautiful trip, can't say the same about Cruelty Squad
