for @endlessmode.bsky.social, here's me on towa and the guardians of the sacred tree, hades-likes, and what games do to differentiate themselves under the shadow of their influences www.endlessmode.com/video-games/...

happy 5th anniversary of hades, the only game that pushed me to write fan fic intothespine.com/2020/09/22/h...

*after spending over 32 hours and counting on an embargoed game since friday in between tgs scheduling, news shifts, and other freelance bits* why am i so tired

i love when a trailer displays "base game content" on the upper right corner of the screen www.youtube.com/watch?v=NV8g...

it's like the site keeps finding new ways to make you feel like shit after the past couple of months

jesse knows his shit about skate (the game and actual skating. maybe even a third, more obscure term as well)

right, now that september is well underway: i’m attending tokyo game show for the first time this year. if you have something cool for me to check or a story to listen, feel free to get in touch via email or dms. recs are also welcome, *especially* if they haven’t gone viral on tiktok

i've been pitching it around but just in case: if you're looking for someone to review [popular indie sequel launching next week] while your site is busy trying to withhold the barrage of september releases, i'm already all caught up with the new stuff

binding of isaac items in fortnite feels like a small victory

Happy anniversary to this fragment story that I wrote for @intothespine.bsky.social! Now more than ever, the arts and humanities need our support. Thank you, @diegoarguello.bsky.social, for publishing it! intothespine.com/2024/09/14/s...

for @endlessmode.bsky.social, i wrote about silksong, bellhart, and how pharloom gets increasingly haunting the more it lures you in www.endlessmode.com/video-games/...

My first bit of writing since getting laid off… is about a camera battery cover? Shout out to @unwinnabledavid.bsky.social and @rubeck.bsky.social for giving this piece a home! unwinnable.com/2025/09/11/t...

renata is both a dear friend and one of the smartest people i've ever met. if you're a studio/publisher looking for an extremely insightful consultant, you should get in touch

We just need *14* more subscribers to get to our goal of 100 new subs! Are you ready to be the hero we need??

wrote about silksong and the ballet

If you want to know why I bother with weirdo pervert gamer shit I wrote a little about why for @roguesite.bsky.social’s launch week www.rogue.site/editorials/s...

time has flown by but it's been six months since i started helping the game developer folks with news shifts. i'm sticking around for another three months, so if you ever want to talk for a story, email is in bio and can share my signal via dm. i'm also fielding b2b opps/chats during tokyo game show

good morning, new turnstile tiny desk youtu.be/ylL-SSRDyJc?...

silksong rules

average discord server

i find silksong’s scale deeply disturbing

Hi! I was laid off from Firaxis this morning. I wrote leaders and civs for Civilization VII (NDA for now) and Deadpool and Storm for Marvel's Midnight Suns. I also wrote the award-nominated Hindsight. I'm available for full time, remote work starting ASAP. DMs are open: emmkid.info

here’s me on the phantom pain, and how the legacy of its inconclusive state and its development conditions was prescient of the next decade of AAA games - one spent chasing ghosts and perpetuating cycles of irreparable damage

16 and a half hours of silksong later: not only i have to force myself to stop playing, but i’ve just encountered what might be one of the coolest concepts for a boss fight i’ve seen

that’s RIGHT

this route is insane

finally got the wall jump in silksong

first official spine x endless mode crossover

new fleshwater album. silksong. reese's in the fridge. almost forgot this is the whole point

unfortunately there’s nothing quite like the adrenaline of retrying a boss over and over and the release you get once you finally beat it

hunter’s march is such a ruthless skill check lmao

i will say tho, at least docked, framerate dips pretty often

she restructure on my staff until it's optimized (sorry, i'm allowed to joke about it i'm one of the affected workers)

a 2K spokesperson said today's layoffs at firaxis are part of staff reduction to "restructure and optimize" its development process. sources close to the situation told game developer that the job cuts have reportedly affected dozens of workers www.gamedeveloper.com/business/2k-...

obligatory pic

hornet, where the hell have you been loca

listen, i don’t mind the 6+ years dev cycle, but a midnight launch would have been nice

I spoke to FF Tactics co-director Maehiro about the development of Tactics, how CRT monitors changed the look of Tactics, and getting the platinum in Unicorn Overlord @higgins.games also interviewed Maehiro and Yokoyama at Gamescom so it's one big fun interview all put together :)

We have no good anniversary or excuse to repost the Polygon Final Fantasy 7 oral history, but that's never stopped us before.
