NEWS: My gender-swapped reimagining of The Mummy (1999), THE DARKNESS BENEATH, is officially coming March 9, 2027! It’s now available to add on Goodreads and for pre-0rder, with pre-0rder goodies! All links in bio!

SGF is my favorite industry event bar none - and I'm excited to be heading back for my 4th year in a row 🕶️ Which friends will I be seeing?!

Really glad I took 4 months to do a task that took exactly 3 minutes to complete

Done

⭐NEWS: I'M GOING TO BE A PUBLISHED AUTHOR!!!⭐ After 12+ years of pursuing this dream, I can't believe it's finally happening. My debut novel, THE DARKNESS BENEATH, is an Adult Fantasy Adventure coming Spring 2027 that's heavily inspired as a gender-swapped reimagining of The Mummy (1999)!

I have a very good feeling about spring 🌸🌼

Might still refer to it as Overwatch 2, as a treat

Inverse has decided to "divest from gaming content" so I'm out of a job again! This is almost certainly the end of my career in games media, and probably the end of my writing career. I'd love for that not to be the case, so I'd appreciate any leads but I'm honestly not hopeful for obvious reasons♥️

Breaks my heart to share this, but today is my last day at The Verge and I am looking for work! I'd really like to stay in video games, preferably in some kind of journalistic capacity but I can do PR/Marketing and maybe even a lil Narrative Design. Please get in touch! www.ashparrish.com

January 2025, I was taking a health sabbatical. January 2026, I’m taking the helm as Sandbox’s president. Sometimes, you need to rest and heal first. Take the time you need, and try not to compare to everyone else’s journey—you never know where yours might go next. To a bright 2026 🌟

Hello sweet visitor!

Congrats ARC Raiders and the Embark team for Best Multiplayer!!

Tomb Raider Catalyst confirmed - 2027

Absolutely honored to share that I’ll be President of Sandbox Strategies starting in January 🩵 www.gamesindustry.biz/gaffe-preven...

yeah the harsh reality is that we do take a chance on small games no one's heard of a lot more often than anyone thinks we do. but literally no one reads the articles, which then reinforces to the powers that be that they're not worth doing. I don't know how to solve that problem!

Please, please, please be good

Finally going to play last year’s Astro Bot holiday content this weekend 🥰

Happy Halloween from our very own Krypto!

Thursday? You mean Friday eve

That’s the wrong embargo

“Sorry my pet interrupted our video chat!” Why are you apologizing for the best part of my day

Hi @dvpit.bsky.social! Will there be an updated list of participating agents/editors before the event? :)

It’s not too late to send out that email with a six figure book deal offer in it, friends. You know you want to.

Fine, I’ll do it. I, Valerie “Norton” Bob-omb will step up as President of Nintendo America

The Great British Baking Show will heal me

A Rascal sister site has launched: @roguesite.bsky.social Former-Polygon writers have gotten together to launch a worker-owned video game journalism outlet (with a little rascally help). If you mourned the loss of one site, celebrate the birth of another, and support the people making it happen.

We’ve made it to the ‘bers months, long live the ‘bers

Long weekend video gaaaaaaaammmeess

Ziff Davis and IGN routinely decide that work done by our laid off colleagues is not important. But inevitably, that crucial work falls onto those who remain. Not this time. Not anymore.

Hello jet lag my old friend, I see it’s 6am again

Gamescom was fantastic despite having a back injury, and now I want to curl into bed and rest for 48 hours

Gamescom here we gamescome

Weapons movie was excellent, I’ve been thinking about it a bunch since seeing it Thursday

Gardening is HARD OKAY

Cozy girl autumn is right around the corner

So we rediscovered that Yellowcard made a song from the perspective of Spider-Man (Gifts and Curses), and I said that was wild and so odd. In @shaunnorton.bsky.social’s quest to prove me wrong, he ended up finding TWO MORE songs from Spider-Man’s perspective?? And now a 4th song has emerged???

Are there any editors looking for reviews for upcoming video games for their sites? If so, I would love to get in touch via DMs or email via [email protected] and work something out! I cover a vast range of genres, like JRPGS/RPGS and action-adventure to narrative-driven and shooters. (1/3)

What are some of your open tabs right now? I’ll start: - Sticky toffee pudding recipe - Galactus wiki - Adopt a Coral - Wordle - Hummus recipe - Crunchy Roll anime news from SDCC

Oh I LOVE The Fantastic Four, I’ve been eating good at the box office this summer

Is this book going to be good? Unclear, but I'm already having a damn good time writing it

It's writing tiiiiimmmeee #ProjectEmerald

Yo, anybody out there wanna be a weekend editor at Kotaku if that role were hypothetically to return?

I cannot express how proud I am of my tiny garden, especially since I tried last year and it was a total disaster

*coughs loudly*
