Journalism 101: Every interview with a CEO should be followed up with: "Wubadubadub is that true?"

If there is one demo you play this Next Fest, make it Forbidden Solitaire 🙌

“Hey boss, are you sure Flamigo is more popular than Charizard, and people aren’t just misspelling ‘Flamingo’ on Google?” “Don’t be ridiculous. Of course Flamigo is more popular than Charizard, Mewtwo, Eevee, and Snorlax. Send the email.”

hey now

The official Chiitan account liking this post was also not expected what the heck ✨️

Amazon is making a change to Wishlists that may make your address visible to gift buyers, starting on March 25, 2026. They recommend you get a PO Box to protect yourself from accidentally being doxxed.

Explaining what PrEP is to my friends was not what I thought I'd be doing this morning lmao 🏳️‍🌈

I think a games greatness shouldn’t measured by a meta critic score, but rather by the widest gap in takes we can create in one day Resident evil and its relationship to the WW2 bombing of Nagasaki and Hiroshima vs telling Leon Kennedy that you’re on prEP is about as wide as it can get, folks

Not to put too fine a point on this quote but Nacon, the owner of Big Ant Studios, just filed for insolvency. bsky.app/profile/wari...

hell yeah, this looks incredible dark mode vooks is perfection

my studio has been designing a small online survey game for kids that's focussed purely on play and accessibility We've surveyed thousands of kids across Aotearoa, and we're currently collaborating with our local council to allow kids to design their dream playgrounds! www.gamechangersurveys.com

If anyone knows of any arts admin/editorial work going in WA now would be a really lovely time to shoot me a message 🙏

old gods new blood update all done!! now i have to put them all in order again

I can't control the outcome of Steam Next Fest but I've been told putting a HOLOGRAPHIC ULTRA RARE GABE NEWELL on your Steam Page helps boost your discovery algorithm

Discord has ended its partnership with Persona following community pushback, according to Fortune.

New video game series from me up on all the video platforms! The title is pretty self explanatory:

i have always played Stardew Valley as a female farmer, so i actually didn't know about some of the binary gender differences in the game until i did the copy edit on this story we published today, e.g. beer for men/wine for women, tuxedo default for a groom, etc www.mothership.blog/10-years-sta...

sports journalism readers know a regime change hitpiece when we see one

Monday innit.

Serebii Update: The Pokémon Company have put out special 30th Anniversary logos for every Pokémon We've begun cataloguing all of them with over 500 catalogued and more will be added throughout the day They can be found in our new section @ www.serebii.net/pokemon30/

It's true: Good things come to those who wait. 🙏 We're pleased to present our comprehensive Games of the Year celebration for 2025. Featuring 24 authors (including 5 special guests) and 47 games. #GOTY

I spoke to more than a dozen people for this short piece on Freeplay in the Saturday Paper. It's a little retrospective/reflective and tries to distil a whole range of emotions and opinions that came through in those discussions. www.thesaturdaypaper.com.au/culture/game...

We have made a new demo for Key Fairy! We took the demo down right before release, to make it easier to do patches and stuff on the full game! But we like demo's, and we want people to be able to taste the game before they commit to it! store.steampowered.com/news/app/287...

Between e-waste, rare materials, logistics, and now genAI, gaming's impact on the global climate is significant. We speak to the Sustainable Games Alliance, Playing for the Planet, the Videogame History Foundation, and more to understand what's happening and what they're trying to change.

just beat the Hell's Kitchen Video Game for the nintendo DS where 100% of the gameplay takes place on the touch screen and the top screen is just a Gordon Ramsay vtuber with an anger meter that you have to keep down or he will hit his ult and shut down the kitchen

For the Aussies, Aldi has a bunch of official Nintendo kids gear at great prices! Plushies, packs of figures, activity books, and bedspreads too. In case you want to plan ahead and pick up a few goodies for birthdays/Christmas.

Such a lovely review by the ever incredible @nomibelle.bsky.social at Sifter!

cant wait for all the aussie substacks that end up getting in trouble for doing this considering it would be advertising an illegal gambling service

Key Fairy is officially released! Buy it, lest ye be slain! store.steampowered.com/app/2878580/...

Played the heck out of KEY FAIRY to get it finished for review on LAUNCH DAY! And... it still brought me a sense of calm I truly needed after a rough month. Also im pretty sure the people who made it are fairies 🩷

My story today was inspired by two @aftermath.site stories from @xoxogossipgita.bsky.social and @papapishu.bsky.social. Gadgets are soooooo back. www.hilli.tech/nerds-are-fi...

I got a tip that all over the world, people are using a dead-simple hack to manipulate AI behavior. It turns out changing what AI tells other people can be as easy as writing a blog post *on your own website* I didn’t believe it, so I decided to test it myself www.bbc.com/future/artic...

It really is the year for interviews for me! This one is about the insanely cool train game Denshattack! The demo comes out soon and I highly recommend checking it out!

right on sis, you don't need to tuck for these fools

Impulse buy on the way to work because I HAD TO! LOOK AT HIM!

Happy valentines day 🥰🩷💕

Happy Valentines Day! ❤️ Throwback to when I proposed to the other half of our studio with a secret co-op level I made. Lots of people asked for it as an easter egg - so you can actually find it in the Teeto demo (which you can play now on Steam!) #valentinesday #indiegame

so GamesHub, which formerly employed some of my favourite games journalists and humans, is now putting out not just AI slop but under fake AI names but is also str8 stealing other journalists actual work pls do be a lawsuit

my most unlikely and ridiculous eBay alert just pinged ebay.us/m/bZlnQI

Trying out Super Productivity for Task Management. It's Open Source and mostly local only but they have been working device sync options, including one of theirs that is EU based. Really enjoy it so far. Seems to be explicitly for people with ADHD. super-productivity.com

every three seconds you will take psychic damage when reading who did voices for mewgenics

half a million units sold in 36 hours wtf

Check out @nomibelle.bsky.social's awesome work. This is such a fun watch. Nom always blends deep expertise with an infectious lighthearted enthusiasm; it's really lovely to see.

I interviewed Edmund McMillen!! As well as getting some epic Mewgenics info, we chat about how BOI is selling the best it ever has, board game inspirations and if The Camdrome Project will ever return 👀👀
