DICE AWARDS

For everything there is to despair there are many reasons to have hope.

When a Japanese market opens up not far from you. (:

A good thing you can do about this instead of dooming is Google “how to become a poll observer in [your town]”

Hello comrades I'm looking for writers who cover table top news and are also fans of a certain Lovecraftian god-squid 〃く⁠コ⁠:⁠彡 ₊ ˚ ⊹

Submissions closed last week, and y'all, we have an amazing group of games on deck. Looking forward to sharing them on Feb 19th!

Any casual peek at the news lately:

#gamedevs let’s chat marketing! I’ll be at DICE, GDC, and PAX EAST — oh my! PR INFLUENCER COMMUNITY STEAM PAGES STRATEGY ADS If you’re a game dev & gonna be around for any of the events let me know!

“We’re being marketed to everywhere we go all the time. It used to be, you had to see a product 7 times before you were primed to buy it.[..], it’s now upwards of 15. So, I think, we need, as an industry, need to realise that we need to do a little more planning.” frvr.com/blog/news/pr...

WHOOOOOO is gonna be at DICE? ദ്ദി ˉ͈̀꒳ˉ͈́ )✧

Literally my first media subscription since I canceled the newspaper. Fuck ‘em up @midimyers.com

THREAD: 404 Media has been covering ICE and the technology they've been using to surveil and raid "targets", detain people based on a flawed facial recognition app, and lie about violence on the streets. They have established itself as an agency that cannot be trusted to live in or present reality.

A thread of reasons to have hope.

No preview sucks so here is the post with alt text.

I lost a bunch of weight and now I’m cold all the time.

Game devs I am begging you plz to start marketing your game more than one month out from launch plzzzzzzzz www.youtube.com/live/Tt4MpBE...

My screen time about to be real anemic because I deleted TikTok

I’m so proud of Minnesota. I understand why some people belittle protests as not enough, but I really think this shit matters. I saw a clip on Fox News and they had to admit thousands of people showed up. It’s not going to stop Trump, but it’s a signal to your neighbors that they’re not alone.

hey guys, just to confirm this is my fundraiser. i didn't want to ask for help, but i do need it. my cancer is back. i am going through a lobectomy next week, the same surgery Walter White undergoes. i can't express how grateful i am. thank you so much everyone. www.gofundme.com/f/support-ge...

Gladiator 2 just doesn’t hit the same. Idk man this sucks and I’m sad. Gladiator 1 is one of my favorite movies and I’ve been waiting to watch 2. But uhhh what

Btw i will be emailing my reps. Gotta be that annoying data point. Gonna email them with every single bill i get.

Bro how the fuck testing and imaging not covered under insurance until you hit your deductible? That's some shit to avoid treatment altogether. Some dark pattern shit. Just saw my MRI bill.

It's been on my wishlist for a while now... I've been avoiding buying it because money but.... I suppose now I have to.... thanks Aftermath.

Our team is headed to D.I.C.E. in Vegas. Wanna connect? Mario, @alykkat.bsky.social, and Thor will be meeting studios, publishers, and partners building the future of games. If you’re going and want to talk discoverability, growth, or what’s next, let’s connect: [email protected]

after flying back from Vegas last week, I was just laid off from Inverse today. I'm open to connecting over email at [email protected] and I'm definitely still in the writing and editing space. Expect a more in-depth explanation coming soon in my Updater newsletter. shannonliao.substack.com

PR people following me, my email access was immediately revoked at Inverse, if we were in the midst of talking about or working on something I'm super sorry. I'm gonna reach out to people I need to, but anyone can reach me at [email protected], for the time being.

I think cosplayers might be the most responsive creators I've ever emailed.

I got hired permanently at my job 🤍 The resilience these past few months have been absolutely insane. Making this year my bitch 😚 I love y’all. Just an update 🫶🏾

I keep meaning to post on LinkedIn but I just can’t bring myself to do it…. It’s become a very weird place with everybody saying a lot of nothing.

Here ya go a very comprehensive (long) write up giving you behind the scenes context, types of partnerships, and practical steps to improve your sponsorship odds. 👉 www.alykkat.com/p/part-one-i...

They use "civility" as a weapon against us. Because they'll say stuff like, "while what happened was a clearly tragedy, there's no call for that kind of language about it." An elected official saying "fuck" is not worthy of equal debate with a murder by "law" enforcement. That's oppressor shit.

Day 2 of bangs

I shared this with my coworker and she can't believe I just posted this all for free in a single blog post. She's already pitched my an e-book, a course, and templates I should sell. She's a content marketer so this is her thing lol

The energy I’m bringing into 2026 as a VP.

Some really good advice and things to think about on how to navigate the complexities of dealing with brands as a creator.

Any #gamedevs headed to dice?

Quality reading for streamers here.

AOC: What we saw today was a horrific act of violence. What we have seen and are now seeing is that ICE has not just become an anti-immigrant force—it is becoming an anti-civilian, paramilitary organization. People are being taken off the streets for exercising their free speech rights.

140 people have read part one but only 14 have read part two... part two has the practical application stuff!
