Current or former Sucker Punch employees! I'm looking to talk to people about company culture, Ghost of Yotei harassment, and the events that took place last month. I can protect your identity. It would be immensely helpful for a story I'm working on. My information is signal below.

or if you refuse to be normal about it, AT LEAST read enough of it to understand why it wasnt working challenge level: impossible

If you only read one story today, make it @nicolecarpenter.bsky.social's breakdown of the Saudi-backed EA buyout, which includes thoughts from multiple business analysts and experts who explain what the $55B deal could mean for EA workers, its video games, and the wider industry. Essential reading.

i really wish Wishlisting something on steam didnt feel like a life and death situation.

do i have any mutuals who are personally familiar with living organ donation? The thing I am scripting about has to do with a very high profile kidney donation but I feel like it might be beneficial to talk to somebody who has any level of experience in that arena. let me know!! Love u

the larger gaming community has screamed and cried about ELO (think chess) matchmaking being in every game.. cant wait for them to also complain that Open isn't actually better at all.

if I ever get a folding phone, its a sign I've been kidnapped.

until the day that i die i will be here to remind you that there's no secret kabal that makes up video game review scores.. no one is MAKING anyone have a specific score. stop it with this BS and yell at your friends until they stop

i dont even really wanna talk about it, but i think this is the worst ive felt mentally since i got let go from my job and i just dont know what to do. i dont like being annoyed by everything but i just am and it sucks a lot.

i would love a rejection email.. a rejection email telling me my stuff isnt sharp enough is SO MUCH BETTER to me than just looking at my inbox and knowing im being ignored. being a freelancer sucks

there are lots of good ophie videos you could watch, but this one is MY favorite www.youtube.com/watch?v=rn2Q... talks a lot about the bananas things you see in facebook groups its so fun.

if the mods of this site refuse to mod anything.. then apply the same principle you would to other awful assholes.. dont put them on my feed.. ignore the fuck outta them and live a better life.

it took me, a person who wrote videogame guides for a living.. entirely too long to figure out how to change jobs or why that might be needed in FF tactics. superfans dont read this: the story so far is uh.. not really doing anything for in these like first 4 or 5 missions.. dont kill me for that.

the Reds made the playoffs.. and did not get a single win thanks to a 3 game series. i kinda think thats worse than not making the playoffs at all, as disrespectful as that sounds.

minor win for the day: I figured out how to change my name in the youtube comments, so now nobody has to know what cringe handle i picked at age 15

medical dramas are really great untill all THREE stories of the week give you the ick at the same time. TIL im icked out by watching someone act out hiccups

we're in that time of year where i have to turn my room light on bc if i don't its simply too much darkness.. really hate it

My video about The Biggest Loser and diet culture is finally done! Here you go www.youtube.com/watch?v=pQrj...

totally forgot it was FF tactics day.. so if you dont hear from me its because all im doing is playing FF tactics for the first time.

90% of comedians are just loud crybabys who demand to use the R word on stage.. the other 10% are like the best kept secret in the world but only do a special once every 77 years

I should get head pats for NOT blowing $50 in fast food every time the Bengals get their ass kicked.

we dont talk enough about how an ad blocker is just required for using the internet at this point unless you want your device to explode or be exposed to the worst unskipple youtube ads you've ever seen.

its monday and so im sending emails to places looking for work. please share if you know anyone who might need help covering a mountain of games coming out.. im terrible at self promotion but really am good at this given the proper amount of time and resources.

just tried to explain why consoles are more expensive than when they came out.. and my dad was like ' i dont see how that has anything to do with tarrifs' and said in such a way that was like 'you don't know what you're saying, son whos only 20 years younger than me' i hate it when this happens

If 12 people send me $10 I can go to worship on Wednesday

the most important thing you could read this weekend

The fact that Kaleb Horton died begging for work instead having a column at some hip legacy mag is such an indictment of this industry. People should have been begging to put him on payroll. But nope, we've reserved that space for Ezra Klein

one of my favorite things about ohpie's videos is that you're given the information you need without extra snark and dunking you could easily do here.

"this person follows 6,800 accounts" get alllllll the way away from me

since every single videogame on earth is going to come between now and about 10/30 this is my quarterly plea for work of some kind. muckrack.com/wheels1993 you can find work samples here of my long form work and I also have about 100 different odds and ends guide work as well.

i resonate with a lot of this because i was having a wonderful time with Bloodstained, but too many of the jumps were too difficult for me to keep repeating and i gave up

Revengence is proof that Kojima is a good table setter.. and if you let other people write it it whips harder than any game has whipped before.

New rule: if you’re complaining about a video game character’s ass, you have to post yours.

Pls repost or boost on tiktok too!! The more eyes that see this the better care i can give her. Rn i have enough after getting a halter and leash (she’s like half the size of all my other cats.) to get a general check up and a few meds. I want to be able to get her fixed too and microchipped

i am one of the biggest mobile game apologists on the entire internet.. but jesus christ this fire emblem game is BAD

begging people to just start shouting ideas at your friends over discord.. its so much better than letting google decide what the title of your youtube video

my friend has links where you can give them money.. if you give them money.. you are helping both a nice person and a nice cat.

So I found an abandoned kitten with a healed broken jaw outside my apartments that the cops and my apartment complex and now she’s in my bathroom. I’m gonna need help with costs

to the best of my understanding, SuperGiant never agreed to interm terms during the voice actors strike.. the implication being that it would force them to pay everyone too much or something.. and while they were nice and made sure no one got replaced.. it doesnt sit well with me that they did that

I'm so old that I remember when dudes would give players crap for missing a game for the birth of their children. I suppose attending a political rally disguised as a funeral for a podcaster is more defensible. www.nytimes.com/athletic/665...

chat I need to admit something.. sometimes I have 2 email tabs open to make sure i get the desktop notification twice. i cant tell if this is unhinged or a CEO level life hack tbh.

i don't want to get in the way or anything.. but we need a more varied roster of heroes than comedians.. we need to love more humans than the ones on our TV.

i swear to fuck we weren't even talking about the goddamn queen for this long and this frequently when she died

This sucks so much www.theverge.com/news/780757/...

i will never understand how the words 'oh my gosh im so sorry i said something hurtful, thank you for telling me and i will work my ass off to never do it again' is a physical impossibility for a certain kind of person. I don't get it.

anyway

how tough am I? Google changed the android UI again and i only cried for 20 minutes.

ok so hang with me for a second. its obviously like the ONE thing you cant do.. you CANT put a reddit post above work you are being paid to do on a site but i do wish other writers had a tad more empathy here that this writer is obviously given no support 1/2

i get WHY we use the term spineless.. it can feel effective against the genuine worst of the worst.. but ive always felt like its deeply ablest if im being honest.. but unlike most times i call things out i dont have an idea or an answer.. its not actually doing harm but it just feels bad imo

I will always remember Charlie Kirk when I was in college. He tried to do a public talk at my private uni, not public property, when he wasn't invited. People told him to go away, called one of my colleagues who was shouting the n-word, and then he was promptly escorted off campus for trespassing.
