it's wild that i can just work and do my little tasks all day and i can do them with a cat in my lap. life is truly so wonderful and magical at times.

Somewhere along the line, I developed this idea that having a crush is bad. I don’t really know where it came from but it’s almost certainly has sexist origins and it’s a way to put down teen girls (and adults too because let’s be honest people don’t stop crushing just because they get older).

It happened to me: I didn't write down an angle for a pitch and I forgot and now I can't remember the framing I had in mind for the life of me.

I just so happen to be in Chicago so I'll be swinging by the meetup. Come through for some beer and buds and plenty of nerdy video game fun. 🧡💙

I’m just going to add on my favorite quote from him in this year’s Hobonichi (his company)

each time someone says yes to playing league with me an angel gets their wings😇

the scope of these layoffs feels so overwhelming—that's 1,600 people whose lives are instantly changed and thrown into chaos. i think about how getting laid off impacted my life, then times that by 1,600... it's hard to comprehend.

some deadlines i meet and other deadlines meet me

writing is so embarrassing like what do you mean im going to write some words and people are going to read them like can i just tuck them away into some hidden forbidden place instead

oh man it's gonna be Japan vs Brazil in the knockout round? as the sacred texts foretold.

Stop the presses: I wrote about a video game gizmodo.com/truck-kun-is...

this is true always but specifically for gta vi: sites that don’t actively pick a diverse writers pool to cover it are in for a generational fumble

This is how neocolonialism works btw. The US will stop at nothing to completely destroy Cuba without needing to step foot on the island.

The process of moving into a new place this month and rebuilding my life as a person living solo for the first time in over a decade has been expensive and hard. If you've been thinking about picking up any of my games, this would be a great time to go for it. store.buriedwithoutceremony.com

Gamers would rather spend $1100+ than buy a stupidly long HDMI cable

PC gaming has become expensive but I'm also interested in the ways people are dealing with the rise in prices. I have two friends getting married and instead of a traditional wedding registry, they're asking their guests to buy different PC parts for them to rebuild their computers.

every time i see people taking the stairs in FF7 Remake I wonder how many people never even see some of Barret's best lines in the game because they're exclusive to the elevator route

This is the legal defense fund for the 15 anti-ICE organizers who were recently arrested in Minneapolis. Please contribute generously. They are going to have millions of dollars worth of needs. chuffed.org/project/1865...

my picks for what to watch this weekend pvguide.ghost.io/weekend-watc...

happy juneteenth. give your money to black people today.

i feel sad when i see a podcast clip and only see white hosts. i also get sad when i see an all white (or majority white) masthead. when you are a marginalized person you see these things all the time and it isn't something you ever get a "break" from. i dont think i will ever get used to it.

i remain proud to have @mothership.blog alongside two extraordinary feminist publications, @theflytrapmedia.com and @autonomynews.co, as part of a VEEERYYYY good 50% off deal on a 90-day subscription! if you already support mothership, just use your subscriber email & we'll be taken off the bill~

I love only playing two video games and playing them a lot

my main hobbies these days include sending my friends podcast-length voice notes of my uninterrupted stream of thoughts and meeting neighbors through a local knitting group

Perfect weekend reading.

bl has a complicated place in broad category of lgbt+ media but nakamura-kun has a won a special place in my heart for the way it captures the emotions that come with being a little, sad, weird queer kid ;;_;; i wish i got to watch this as a kid but im happy i get to see it now </3 happy pride<3

Old news but, this is so, so, deeply American. I think it's also very obviously sad. Some people might be fundamentally opposed to this gathering such a granular level of data (which makes sense), but imagine if this information was used to make more livable and walk-able cities.

i dont have the knicks i just have this

Using the likeness of deceased people for profit without the express written consent of the deceased to be involved in said project is so insanely immoral at like a basic ethical level I can't believe it's a thing someone would think is appropriate to announce on a stage like it's fun and awesome

happy pride month

Want to learn about some recently-released-but-overlooked games?? I'm happy to announce that the Unearthed Treasure Room showcase is coming back for Part 2!! Right before Summer Game Fest, we'll be premiering the showcase on... June 3rd at 4 PM Pacific (12 AM BST), on Youtube!!

This is silly but it brings me so much joy to just like, do boring, normal things with my friends. I love nothing more than to run errands and just share life with them. Being the person who they get groceries with or go to an appointment with makes me unreasonably happy.

What are the video game/nerdy podcasts with majority black voices? I got the Midnight Boys in rotation but looking for more

i wrote about motion capture, animation, and bodies in games for TEEN VOGUE! it's very excited to have a byline at a magazine that i've been reading since i was teen✨ www.teenvogue.com/story/why-ar...

No one told me the main thing about growing up is that as I get older, I'll really, really want to get a Shadow the Hedgehog tattoo

Imagine speedrunning or all the other creative ways to play this game without weapon degradation. It would simply not be as fun or as creative!

We spoke with Undertale creator Toby Fox about the inefficient and laborious ongoing process of making Deltarune. gameinformer.com/2025/09/30/i...

Hi! My incredibly talented friend and games critic Renata Price (prev. Waypoint/Kotaku/Fanbyte, currently Crit Build) is looking for mock review/consulting work if you know anyone who might be interested! Reach out to ren(at)critbuild(dot)org if interested. Shares appreciated!

i am replaying Persona 5 Royal rn (i never beat it and only got like 60% way through) and i really love how long everything takes. it takes time to build relationships and build a support network. you need to work at everything, socializing, studying, and building up your crafts.

Russia has ruled a K-pop omegaverse fic to be illegal, sentencing its author to 18 months in a labor camp. So is it worth reading? Get the link I tracked down in today's @garbageday.email and decide for yourself! www.garbageday.email/p/everything...

It is 2026. it should be socially and professionally acceptable for me to use emojis in my cover letters. what are we doing here

What are people's favorite podcasts they listen to learn stuff? I need good recs to listen to as I knit and walk. >:) My favorite topics are history and anything related to ecology and animals. I feel like so many history podcasts have dubious sourcing and are directed at dudes, so...

One of my favorite pieces we’ve run in a long time!!!

It's cool to see my interview be aggregated by so many news sites and content creators. I believe in the value of original reporting and clearly it's important to cultivating a a more vibrant news ecosystem. As jaded I get with slop, there is still an audience and a strong desire for journalism.

I am super pleased to share this interview with Stardew Valley creator Eric Barone for @gameinformer.com. We touched a wide variety of topics in our convo but people should click through if they want to read his thoughts on (and criticisms of) of AI in the story. gameinformer.com/feature/2026...

Hi you should follow @pewpewbang.bsky.social

@jmrivera.bsky.social wrote about this ages ago and i think about it constantly kotaku.com/theres-a-lat...

I won't be satiated by my gaming setup until I can comfortably play Persona 5 Royal from the bathtub.

This might give someone hives but I've been writing pieces of flash fiction/poetry on my phone for over seven years. These pieces are scattered between my dairy entries and grocery lists. I think I will finally start the process of digging everything up and putting it into a real doc.
