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.

Still looking, but with a tinge more desperation!

one of my favorite moments of TNG is when Picard is immediately unable to contain his horse autism

how it feels to pose with oomf when you find some cool sticks

Personal news: I'm leaving my Editor-at-large role at Eurogamer & Gamer Network as part of new cuts. I last year approached my move to Eurogamer & VG247's skeletonization with reluctance, but I ultimately greatly enjoyed giving EG a go. But now after 10yrs & in difficult conditions, it's time to go.

I got real mad and wrote about EVO.

Hey folks! Board member Zach has written up a quick update re: how we are doing. Please check it out and share widely: critical-distance.com/2026/02/25/2...

Ziff Davis sucks man, can we get any good news in this field?

Tell you what, it's really nice to find out that a not insignificant number of people only care about disabled people when they're not actively being disabled. Really makes you feel good!

I am still looking for work!

Finally finished hacking my PS3, I don't know how I became a guy who hacks every old console they own but it happened so slowly I almost didn't notice

Been got again and she doesn't think it'll work because of the distance

Sam Fender sounds like a Jedi from a Legends novel that is killed within fifteen pages

The Future Of Pokemon Is In Its Past by @easbygames.bsky.social "The Legends series is really what I want from mainline Pokémon... introduce a new mechanic, keep that mechanic around and implement it alongside anything new that GameFreak decides to add." Read on: skyboxcritics.com/2026/02/11/t...

Anywhere taking pitches right now? Really searching for work and I've got ideas for a lot of games! HMU: [email protected]

Once got flown out to Paris for 24 hours for a steering wheel peripheral. I'd assumed it was to have a hands-on experience with it. I was wrong. All I got to do was hold a prototype of the thing then that was it. Baffling use of my time

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

Inverse's Gaming section is being shut down as the company "divests" from gaming content. I'm out of a job along with my wonderful co-writers. I've put my heart and soul into this job for four years. Gonna need to take time to process, but I'm now completely open for work - and boy do I need it.

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♥️

Now that we're firmly in 2026, I've got pitches I want to talk to you about! If you're looking for feature pieces, opinion pieces, news and reviews, I'm looking too! Shares appreciated, email is [email protected]

Had to get this just for the novelty of a physical ROM hack

I am desperately scrambling for work right now, if you have anything then we should talk!

Repost! Do us a favor and like/share this video of you're a Pokemon fan I put loads of work into this one, and I love what we're doing over at @culturedex.bsky.social 🙌 I'm really hoping to get to 1000 subscribers in the next week

I'm looking for work. I have experience working in news, features, interviews and essays, and am able to do any of the above.

Just found out my wife might be losing her job, so I'm desperately searching for work. Contract, full-time, freelance, whatever. Press, PR, consulting, anything. I have 16 years of editorial experience and have been writing about games for 13. Reviews, news, previews, guides, etc. RTs appreciated.

Please...just one article...

Making Critical Distance list of 2025 games criticism worth reading is a fantastic way to start 2026, gotta say critical-distance.com/2026/01/01/t...

Openly wept several times during the Stranger Things finale. I am not immune to propaganda Messy, messy season, but the core emotion is done so well that it all just fades away at the end Also mark this down, Sadie Sink is going to be nominated for an Oscar within a decade

Hope everybody has a good New Years Eve! My one hope is that my 2026 is better work-wise than 2025

Not to defend this season (which has been undoubtedly messy) but I don't think Stranger Things fans know what queer baiting actually is

Let's GO

Working with Chris has been a highlight of my career, to put it lightly. He's one of the best in the industry.

I'm gonna speak as somebody who has wrote for Retro Dodo several times: this is a deeply embarrassing article that is serving as the normalisation of an actual war criminal, and Brandon should (and CAN) do better.

A gentle reminder if you've received an invoice from a Freelancer/Self employed person which is due before Christmas. Be a love, and pay it today.

Love to be chasing payments literally the week before Christmas. Really how I was wanting to spend the holiday season
