still real proud of this little project I did with @nickdragotta.bsky.social. have you read Good Devils: Don't Play Fair With Evil? ask for it at your local comic shop or non-evil ebook seller! imagecomics.com/comics/relea...

feel like I have been yelling about I AM FRANKELDA since roughly this time last year – a hand-made marvel, really shouldn't be missed!! I interviewed the directors last year about how they put it all together (for @animag.bsky.social)

oh

For @reverseshot.bsky.social, we have another video gaming roundtable, featuring me, @kambole.bsky.social, @capybaroness.bsky.social, @woahitsjuanito.bsky.social, and @winnersusedrugs.bsky.social

“I’ll get the X-Men where they’re most vulnerable… the 1990s” made me laugh, gonna be a great soundbite to keep on the shelf for the next millennial revival series (I say this as an X97 enjoyer)

Ended up losing my voice the very weekend that this talk was happening so I had to bail despite wanting to talk about my baby Rock Band all day, but you should all read Kambole, Holly, Esther, and Dan writing about game accessories (and enjoy the dumb graphic I made and shot).

Everything old is new again, and the new is even newer. re:frame #84, by @kambole.bsky.social, out now:

they are like 20 years too late to this lmao

uhh...

There was a time, not long ago, when peaceful protestors were never sent to jail in the UK But at least 286 people have been locked up for protesting climate breakdown and genocide in recent years It's a fucking scandal

RIP Grizz

hi did you know in addition to TheGamer, Valnet owns Screenrant Movieweb Collider CBR Polygon and more? They treat writers like trash and are a major force in making the internet worse

No intro from me this time; you should just read what @kambole.bsky.social wrote. re:frame #83, out now:

Destiny 2 has meant so much to me over the years. Here's some of the work I did for it when I was there from November 2021 to July 2024.

my Destiny discord is active again but at what cost

kinda heartbroken! for all the missteps I have a lot of very fond memories of this game and have made a fair few friends through it who I’ve gone on with to play other games too. that and the lore honestly kicks ass. I’m loving Marathon but I hope this isn’t the last of Destiny

THE MANDALORIAN AND GROGU is what a friend of mine would describe as “three episodes of TV in a trenchcoat,” and mostly dull ones at that. nothing means anything! neat puppets tho. my @lwlies.com review: lwlies.com/reviews/star...

I would accuse THE MANDALORIAN AND GROGU of being a “jingling keys” movie but those keys are barely moving

I've been supporting a local group called At the Crossroads for a long while. I was introduced by my friend Branwyn at our old job, and kept it up over the years. This year, I'd appreciate it if you could help me raise some funds to support unhoused youth in SF. secure.givelively.org/teams/at-the...

why do I keep seeing people saying "this isn't an indie game, it got money from the Australian government" bro what 😭

Love me a Laika. re:frame #81, out now:

god I love Escaflowne. time for a rewatch!

Between 2021 and 2024, USAID is estimated to have saved 91 million lives. Before it shut down, the agency accounted for less than 1% of federal spending. The collapse may have already caused 762,000 preventable deaths and could lead to more than nine million preventable deaths by 2030, study says.

“This film has another chance”: Matt Braly discusses Thailand’s The Monk Studios reviving his canceled Sony feature 'Afterworld,' the realities of indie animation financing, and why the project still means so much to him. www.cartoonbrew.com/feature-film...

This is fucking mental. Protesters in the UK can now be convicted of criminal damage but be sentenced as terrorists despite never having been convicted of a terror offence and without the jury knowing anything about it. Just a un unbelievable abuse of power by Justice Johnson.

was announced earlier that Yuji Ohno passed from natural causes at 84 – for those unfamiliar he was a jazz musician best known for his work composing the score for Lupin III for over 50 years. genuinely some of the most exciting soundtrack work around www.youtube.com/watch?v=poex...

I wondered the other day if I felt that Margot’s Got Money Troubles is a little hamfisted in its (empathetic) portrayal of sex work and then I saw that people are doing “porn is immoral!!” discourse on twitter in big 2026 so I guess it’s made for the moment

did you know that Gundam is actually about the characters

In today's send, @kambole.bsky.social says what we're all thinking. re:frame #80, out now:

MIXTAPE discourse just feels like cacophonous noise - there’s the dopes who can’t handle a flexible idea of how a medium can tell a story and also who don’t know how funding and publishing works, all mixed up with people who hate it for normal reasons but also can’t help being hyperbolic

Hi, so I have a side quest for any charity shop fans reading this. If you live outside of southern England, please could you pop into your fave charity store and reply with what video games you found there? Photos would also be appreciated. This is research for an article. RTs appreciated!

After a scare with his insurance provider, Joe's now been relocated to another hospital. But he's also started using his phone more to connect to the outside world again, and I've loved being able to hear him sound like himself. He's making great progress. Thanks to everyone who's supported so far!

We took a break on Tuesday, but we're back at it once again. Or, at least, @thesaintoftous.bsky.social is. re:frame #79, out now:

Tony Stella made me want to be better. In an endless landscape of homogenous digital work, it was like oh yeah, this is the guy to try and keep pace with. Goddamn, what a loss.

3 episodes from the end. insane car chase / gunfight with actually great pyrotechnics and Amy Acker firing a sniper out the sunroof, then an outstanding, seething Michael Emerson monologue into a prison break scored to Nine Inch Nails real fucking television!!!

In which I posit a surprising hypothesis that... Jack Quaid might be my Superman? re:frame #78, out now:

Please send me some of your favorite Paste Games pieces, especially older ones. It's FOR A THING. I can't promise they will all make the cut but I'd appreciate getting spammed with links.

Fumi Games' 'Mouse: P.I. For Hire' is a first-person shooter developed to look like a 1930s Fleischer cartoon. It stars a trench-coated mouse detective and brings rubber-hose animation to a genre usually built on rigid, militaristic design. www.cartoonbrew.com/videogames/m...

Games criticism owes so much to Garrett Martin. Quietly one of the most influential people in the space, a guy who was happy to publish anyone that had something interesting to say. A shame AV Club is shuttering its games coverage. End of an era, long live Paste Games

One of my favorite films of the year that I caught at Florida Film Festival earlier this month is officially streaming in France until August! You'll need to either be in the region or just use that sweet VPN to switch over, but go watch Lena Greene's Tuna Tartare!!!

Hello, I'm Sonny Ross. Illustrator and Art Director and I'm looking for freelance work! 🖥️ www.sonnyross.com ✉️ [email protected] Say hello, lets make something cool 😎 please share in case your mate who hires artists sees it #illustration #freelance

the US government is killing my people www.nytimes.com/2026/04/25/h...

appreciate the almost twinned releases of SAROS and MARATHON, both roguelikes (the latter in spirit) based around a doomed colony in outer space, presumably torn apart by a temporal anomaly, leaving you to try and recoup the costs of their expenditure by dying over and over again

Am actually looking for projects btw something fell through, not the end of the world just left with a few weeks blank in my diary which never feels super cool

You know what? Running it back ain't always a bad thing, says @kambole.bsky.social. re:frame #77, out now:
