wrote about Dosa Divas, a game i'm really enjoying, which is yes a diaspora story but also a story about the commodification of food and culture aftermath.site/dosa-divas-o...

I question if I'll be able to stay every single day. I honestly don't think I'll be able to. I bring years of experience to my work. I ran a successful Nintendo blog as a teenager back in 2009. I worked as staff at Polygon. I was among the first freelancers to contribute games coverage to NPR.

My husband was laid off and we’re kind of at a loss right now. If anyone has any leads on PR jobs, please reach out to him.

Possibly the most important piece of my career. Many thanks to Mothership for giving me the time and space to have a crack at this crucial topic.

i'm working on a larger story about the state of video codecs in games based on this interview, would love to get as much input as possible from devs about the problems it causes (bonus points if a video editor can share their perspective on this, too). diego6arguello6 at gmail and my DMs are open

this article from @mprnews.org is rad as hell: www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0... (MN game dev forever!!!!!!)

i need everyone to know that i was talking about space aliens at a family meal this weekend and everyone looked at me like i completely hallucinated an entire childhood place and now i have this gem from leo

We’re stunned. In just day 1 of our subscriber drive, we’ve raised $48,884! 🎉 That’s 30 percent of our goal of $160,000 to support the launch of Ravenous. We’re blown away by the love and support we’ve received from YOU.

Today, my fellow founding worker-owners and I are launching a subscription drive to @feedravenous.bsky.social. We are a group of experienced and award-winning food journalists here to publish thoughtful writing and incisive reporting from around the food world. www.weareravenous.com

A lot of my research into the history of play covers tensions around gambling and play. There’s a real history of people being more concerned about the aesthetic of gambling as “corrupting” compared to the design of it.

Lovely homepage ahead of the long weekend.

i got to work on something cool with someone nice today and that made me happy despite how hard life has been. people are awesome!!

Ok ngl this line made me cackle

The idea that something can "match your vision" perfectly in another language assumes that the original text itself is stable and singular. We know this isn't the case because all art is constantly reinterpreted by different people, cultures, and time periods all the time. goofy

Happy Trans Day of Visibility! If you like the work we do on Girl Mode, today is a great day to share us with a friend or support us via our ko-fi linktr.ee/girlmodepod

She wants to know if any of you have games on your phone

Hear how protesters anger toward Trump and ICE is boiling over at the No Kings rally. Zeteo was on the ground in St. Paul, Minnesota. More at zeteo.com!

these super low profile thumb braces are the reason i can play video games again and i did a lot of searching to find them. no provider recommended them to me for video games! none of them really knew what to do about gaming. i don't want to gatekeep! www.mothership.blog/a-thumb-brac...

Hey we’re recording a new episode tomorrow which means it’s time to write in with your problems. We love to give really good advice. tinyurl.com/279vuzrn

Listening to the 2018 summer update Rocket League soundtrack just to feel something again.

A competent, kind, and smart bureaucrat with common sense is worth so much in these systems that are designed to be so cruel. (I'm still navigating the unemployment system because of randomly automated systems.)

Welcome to Woke Week: aftermath.site/aftermath-site...

And in case there was any room for doubt, the Republican coauthor of KOSA explicitly said she expects and hopes the bill to make it harder for queer people to connect with each other and find out they're not alone (as Katelyn says she did here) www.them.us/story/kosa-s...

Installing ICE at airports is a grade a level stupid idea but it also advances the larger issue, which is a private, unaccountable army funded by and ideologically loyal to a dictator that spreads militaristic oppression to all forms of public life.

I've been moving through life slowly lately. :~) I've been editing (non-journalism stuff) and it feels good. I'm also pacing myself and only give myself one actual admin "to-do" per week. It's been good to live like this when so much has fallen apart. Also, I've been playing Pokopia slowly. :O)

I’ve reviewed the Outersloth agreement for my clients multiple times, and have several who signed it. Love seeing this kind of transparency in the industry. Thanks to Nicole for chatting with me about this for a piece on my personal fav new site!

so fucking tired of being told to "do more with less" by rich assholes who don't understand a fucking thing about the labor or the craft or the skill of those they squeeze for profit

I’m so glad people continue to talk about this game online!! One of my early stories when I worked at Polygon (rip me) investigated the shitty legacy of Wii Fit and how it perpetuated feelings of shame and used imprecise measurements of health to do so: www.polygon.com/22358945/wii...

Hennepin County Attorney debuts new evidence portal. Submit evidence you may have of federal agents conducting lawless rampages. www.hennepinattorney.org/news/news/20... Note: this is different from the now-closed portal for evidence related to the Renee Good and Alex Pretti murders.

they should call "resident evil i just stored my requiem in my chest because my hipper is too small and i gotta manage those resources" am i right

Today marks the 30th anniversary of the Pokémon franchise. This series has been my constant comfort series, offered the most accessible games, and even helped launch my career as a disability reporter. Read my latest Access Designed for @ign.com here: www.ign.com/articles/how...

Pokemon Winds and Waves Starters 🌴🌊✨

Im humbled to have been trusted with this. Help your neighbors friends those in need are all around you.

There's now less than 24 hours to go until Pokémon Presents, and the likely reveal of Gen 10. Here's what the biggest Pokémon fans in games media - including @hardykiwi.bsky.social, @pokachee.bsky.social, @gameovergreggy.bsky.social and @nicolecarpenter.bsky.social - want to see:

Some news - today I’m launching One More Catch, an independent publication covering Pokémon Go and the next generation of Pokémon games: @onemorecatch.site

We’re thrilled to have @pokachee.bsky.social in Mothership today, giving advice on something she knows well: staying in touch with loved ones through games 💜 www.mothership.blog/dear-mother-4/

I hate to be this bish because Leaf Green and Fire Red are excellent but I’m definitely a Heart Gold and Soul Silver kind of girly just because I love to see my Pokemon out and about with my character. I might just go replay those now if I want to replay an older Pokemon game.

I haven’t been able to be online lately (thus the lack of posting here) but I have been able to start playing Chrono Trigger so I this also a good development in my life👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

Ana Diaz in mothership !!!!!!

idk but this country has worked pretty hard to make you feel fuckin miserable for being Latino so I’m still riding the high of one show reminding everyone that being Latine is one of the coolest things in the world

I’m on the scene at Franklin and 1st. A convoy of about a couple dozen ICE/HSI agents broke the entryway into an apartment building at 6am. No warrant presented. Less than 24 hours ago, Tom Homan announced the end of large convoys in Minnesota… Bullshit.

journalism the rare field that will make you feel survivor’s guilt even if you don’t have a job
