I do love when you leave that we remind you that we are a city of champions

Hi bsky! I'm looking for game writing/narrative design work, freelance or full time! I have 6+ years of experience working with both AAA and indie studios, shipping over a dozen projects like Borderlands 4 and Endoparasitic and more! You can find my website and portfolio here: www.nessacannon.com

I’ve been casually back on Pokémon Go, not sure how long I’ll be back on this streak but if we are mutuals and you’re active feel free to add me.

Games Done Quick is such an unfettered source of pure good, distilled into the most concentrated essence. A motivating beacon for people to show the power of coming together and rallying around an important cause. A powerful moment that underscores the desire to help in all of us. GDQ forever.

having an afternoon downtown

tonight was perfect. grateful, grounded, and happy. Thank you, Noah. New England Forever.

Update: no, because refreshing all day led to two face value turf seats 🤩

If you’re a queer man who plays Love and Deepspace and wants to talk about your relationship with the game and community, I’d love to chat with you for a Kotaku story. RTs appreciated.

am i really going to get up at 5am tomorrow to go wait at the fenway park box office for noah kahan

What am I playing on my switch 2 on two long flights next week?

the main event

We played Orbitals at Summer Game Fest and both agreed that this needs to be on everyone’s wishlist leading up to September.

Let’s talk about gex baby Gex on summer games done quick right now 🦎🦎

I really just can’t wait to play more of Orbitals.

SGF Preview: Michael and Brenden had a chance to go hands-on together with Orbitals at Summer Game Fest. passthecontroller.io/2026/07/07/o...

so yes, Orbitals was my game of the show at SGF 2026, and i finally get to tell you as much. it's a really spectacular game and i can't wait to play more.

This crypt of the necrodancer run on @gamesdonequick.com is giving me life.

Summer Games Done Quick starts today so you know what that means— you need a delicious cocktail to go with it! passthecontroller.io/2024/06/30/s...

This new Sonic the Hedgehog design is bonkers.

two sharks

boop.

Still in disbelief we traded Jaylen Brown.

A bunch of stuff fell into place last week for me to get to sit down with YOASOBI and talk about making a song about Kiriko from Overwatch, and chat a little with Blizzard about how it worked with the duo in expanding Overwatch's storytelling to music.

Buy a new battery to replace in my 2018 MacBook Pro or buy a new MacBook Pro?

Ordering a soup and a sandwich combo and being handed a hot dog and a bowl of cereal.

Big year for me (someone who care about all three of those and Rhythm Heaven)

Since stepping down from Six One, writing has fallen by the wayside. Writing full-time ain't realistic nowadays, but not writing at all has been gnawing at me. I'm launching crowbar to help keep my writing sharp while gushing about the indies that make one heck of an impact. Hope y'all dig it!

Hard to tell if anyone actually likes love island or you just have to watch it every day because it’s always on.

Doctors always say a glass of red wine is good for your heart. I wonder what a glass of this will do?

Happy Salem Pride ❤️🏳️‍🌈

Been enjoying a return to streaming a bit more, who knew have friends in chat talking and playing games is actually a fun experience!! if you haven't followed yet you should we're building a nice little thing :)

We had some last minute appointment changes that cut into our time with Galactic Racer but man how sweet the bits we got to play were.

We went hands-on with STAR WARS: Galactic Racer™ at Summer Game Fest and came away impressed with what we were able to play. passthecontroller.io/2026/06/23/s...

Was asked to write something small for Myasthenia Gravis Awareness month. I normally don’t talk about my side of our journey so this was nice to share. myastheniagravisnews.com/spotlight/be...

The final part of our SGF trilogy is now available. Enjoy!

Part 3 of our Summer Game Fest recap is now available on the PTC Podcast feed. We chat: - My Arms Are Longer Now - Stranger Than Heaven - Control Resonant - Alien Isolation 2 - Onimusha Way of the Sword - Resident Evil Veronica - Clutch Listen & watch: passthecontroller.io/podcast/

Office for today hoping to wrap up the rest of any lingering SGF stuff

Out of Words was my favorite game of SGF - I spoke to Game Director Johan Oettinger about the power of physical art mediums and how Out of Words is a personal story for him. And how he lost his Karla, and "this is the story where he doesn't lose her." Give it a read - it's filled with heart. 👇🏽

Streaming some Dead By Daylight as I learn how to play the killer Daddy killers only happy Father’s Day Twitch.tv/mamavitelli

the @begroom.bsky.social wedding was lit

today my job is beach

This was pretty fun to wake up to 🫠🤩

Still can’t stop thinking about Slap Out of It and Blood Dungeon tbh tbh tbh

Michael and Brenden caught up with their friend Alex Van Aken to chat some favorites from Summer Game Fest. Slap Out of It and Blood Dungeon were two standouts from Play Days! Slap Out of It is a slap-and-solve puzzle adventure and Blood Dungeon is a 2D platforming rogue-like auto shooter!

Once God of War Laufey got revealed at the State of Play we just had to make a Phranque inspired recipe. Full recipe and video: passthecontroller.io/2026/06/18/g...

this preview is partially about how i normally find “cozy” work games repulsive, but something about ReStory unlocked a new angle of understanding in my brain anyway good video game

I hope Jack Quaid is proud.

Here's my The Adventures of Elliot review. A game that misses the point of adventure

I bought Navi the magikarp fishing rod cat toy and I’ve never seen her this happy with any toy I’ve ever got her.
