With the massive wall of games coming, feels like now is the best time to say that I'm still looking for work, and I'd love to help your site cover those games in the coming months

Dunno about to feel about the Doctor Who news. I've always got the audios and the books but even when the show was bad, it still meant something to me

I cannot get over people calling that Direct bad. Do you even like video games? Were your eyes shut?

I started crying during the Kingdom Hearts 4 trailer

Saw Anthony Head had passed away and couldn't believe it. An utter legend behind one of my favourite characters of all time, and an incredible actor. God rest him

Burn Valnet down

*Out-of-office apart from a new column coming out. @easbygames.bsky.social pulled me kicking and screaming to play my first Nuzlocke! An incredibly unique experience, and one that I'm dubiously thankful for!!! Please do read, as always. Sending my love to my editors, as well 💜 Support Skybox!

Anyway I watched Obsession on Saturday and it has messed me up so badly that I'm still thinking about it two days later. Curry Barker has the sauce, Inde Navarette is a star (and it is bizarre that I first saw her in Superman and Lois of all things)

$7 more and I will stand outside Will's house with a boom box and Crush 40's greatest hits!

I am officially 26 years old

Wrote a bit about fandom desires and how they don't always mesh with reality

Spent almost two hours talking Life is Strange: Reunion with @joerichardswrites.bsky.social and I still don't fully know if I liked the game or not open.spotify.com/episode/6YD6...

The State of the Art: Celebrating one year of Skybox and reflecting on the business by @edgarallanbro.bsky.social Skybox launched one year ago today. Here are some words from our Editor-in-Chief about the state of the site, the space, and what's next. Thanks for the support so far, and read on:

If you had anything you were working on for Paste that needs a home, please reach out to @skyboxcritics.com It's lousy that we have to say this every couple of months, but we'll do what we can to help out as many people as we can.

so incredibly proud to make my mothership debut, and with an essay on metroid's 'black sheep' at that! 💜 thank you to maddy and zoe for taking this honestly abstract pitch and helping me make something special of it 💜

Anywhere taking pitches currently? Got ideas that I desperately want to write!

I'm also very much looking to pivot into film and TV critique, if anybody has leads on that front.

WE ARE XBOXXXXXX WE CARRY THE FLAME WE SUPPLY CYBER INFRASTRUCTURE TO ISRAEL IN OUR NAME

Buying one of my favourite games ever a third time? Don't mind if I do

I'm very interested in any part-time or gig work currently, so if anybody is looking for a writer who has done news, reviews, guides and features, please hit me up: [email protected]

games media will post about every Xbox embargo and feign sympathy in accordance to the latest press release about layoffs but they won't post about this

Ryan Plays Pokémon: Are Pokémon above The law? by @easbygames.bsky.social "Something I’ve been thinking about for a while now is whether or not Pokémon are actually beholden to law and order." Read on:

She's home for now but it isn't looking amazing

Found out today that my Betty has a tumor, and we don't knoe how long she has left. Might be quiet for a while.

I’m Aysha, a writer and narrative designer looking for full time and contract work! I’ve worked on Life is Strange, Pathologic, Hiveswap, and Magic the Gathering, to name a few. Hire me while the industry still exists!

THAT'S WHY THEY CALL @joerichardswrites.bsky.social THE GOAT THE JOEAT

My four-year-old son just made his GameSpot debut. You call it nepotism, I call it hard-hitting journalism. www.gamespot.com/articles/the...

Beautifully written review that I disagree with. We should all read more criticism we don't align with, especially if it's Ken's

Remember when places took freelance pitches? Pepperridge farm remembers.

When somebody is called Ash you know that

Just saw a screengrab of the new Harry Potter trailer and outside of literally everything else, why is it so colorless???

i think sometimes cis people truly have a hard time understanding that jk rowling is a living person actively using her wealth to fund the international assault on trans lives. she’s not some Complicated Author we can have a spirited debate about separating from the art with!!!!!

For an extra $36, I will stand outside Will's house blaring Crisis City!

Just got out of a podcast recording, did I miss anything big in the world of ga- my god

Dunno why people expect solidarity from the games media and industry at large on AI (or anything, really) when it was proven three years ago that they can't even stay away from a damn Harry Potter game

Wine tosses and saving throws: Why The Real Housewives of DnD is my favorite podcast by @trudiegraham.bsky.social "Unique settings are one of the best ways to introduce fresh meat to DnD." Read on:

Skybox has housed some of my favourite writing I've ever done, and we'd love it if you supported us.

I think it's weird for people who are nominally journalists to say things like "We should have waited to see what people think." The issue isn't that you lost the coin flip of public opinion; the issue was that you gave into astonishment. The problem is that the keyjingling got you at all!

Join us in the Skybox, and you too can be part of Will Torture Party 2026

Figured I'd be timely, and after sinking 20 hours into Pokopia, release an article that doesn't even mention the game. Instead, this month I explored a ROK hack designed by a competitive player.

We are still driving! Join us to fund pieces such as "Can a Pokemon stab you and get away with it?" and "What can we work out from the mention of the Minnesota Vikings in The First Movie?"

Never before has a piece of games crit made me both feel like I've been shot in the gut and like I'm floating from how peak it is

I plan to find a way to torture Will if we hit $250.

The Road to 250 begins today! Support us and get cool stuff: - Make Will write more and sleep less! Perfect for support or vengeance! - An entire week of themed pieces! - The satisfaction of fighting against AI slop! - The joy of supporting cool people! All this can be yours!

Skybox has a new goal: $250 a month in subs. We're at $185 now, thanks to a few $1 heroes who saw this thread and subscribed. Bless y'all. I believe we can do $65 more a month. If we get there, I will start a monthly column and we'll put together a week of themed pieces for y'all. Sound good?

Still looking, but with a tinge more desperation!
