Just counted and I have 78 unread DMs on Bluesky I AM SO SORRY

new James Bond looks like he’d have been mean to me in high school

Please hang out with (and also hire) my husband

my inbox as summer game fest draws nearer:

I love to pay more for things I used to pay less for while having less money put in my pocket every week to engage with programs that are constantly getting worse while people above me make more money to make things bad for everyone else

Weapon degradation is very cool and sexy, actually

not going to relitigate all of this for the millionth time because lines have been drawn for nearly a decade and mileage is allowed to vary. This is what I wrote about BoTW's degradation a few years back, though, and I stand by it.

I can't believe Post Games might actually hit my unreasonable goal of 500 reviews in its first year. It's currently at 492. If you have a minute to help me cross this threshold, it would be a huge help for the show's visibility.

“Please have 2+ years of experience with an engine we announced on Friday” really sums up the state of the games industry.

me: I don’t ONLY play hot lady commanders also me:

Scrolled the timeline and the tl;dr is that my industry was disappointing and dumb this week. Let’s all log off and try again on Monday

hi did you know in addition to TheGamer, Valnet owns Screenrant Movieweb Collider CBR Polygon and more? They treat writers like trash and are a major force in making the internet worse

One of the most shameful and predatory policies I’ve seen in this industry. This shit is degrading and should be ILLEGAL. I understand exposure is important, I promise I do, but you are simply better off going independent than doing this.

Read this piece and then also hire Garrett!!!

for data nerds: Circana is now reporting projected sales in its monthly reports for companies that don't share digital data (ahem, Nintendo). which means we can say (most likely) that Tomodachi Life was the best-selling game in the U.S. last month

I’ve always thought the “SAVED YOU A CLICK” assholes were the most the annoying folks on the planet with no consideration for the fact that “the click” helps the folks doing the actual work. Thrilled to have another thing making my job a nightmare and profiting off of writers’ and journalists’ labor

If I had a nickel for every time a stranger walked up to me and told me I look like a cat I’d have three nickels, which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird that it’s happened three times

Okay but yes. The internet has made us performative as HELL and we’re all so consumed by the notion of having the Correct take that we’re losing autonomy and conviction.

“I don't understand what it's supposed to do. Every time I see a video on Instagram that's like, 'Hollywood is cooked,' what follows is, like, the most stupid dog shit I've ever seen in my life…”

KH’s more gatekeepy fans and the conversations around it completely tarnished the series for me. And I say that as someone who played 1 and 2 day of release 🫠

I don’t know, rebranding is actually a pretty cool way to clog up the news cycle so folks aren’t talking about your horrific environmental impact, the war crimes you’re helping execute, and your cutthroat business practices tbh!

😩 I'm trying

to counteract being a hater, I’ll share my top four books of 2026 so far! I’ve read 20 at this point and these are the ones I’m a little obsessed with 💕

okay I’m so so sorry to be a hater but….. the Dungeon Crawler Carl I (partially) read cannot be the same one everyone is freaking out about lmao

saw someone call mixtape oscar bait which is honestly even funnier than the astro turf thing. oh yeah, all those three hour narrative indie games that sweep up video game awards season

Sorry but Hokum is all I’m going to be thinking about for a minute www.gamespot.com/articles/hok...

Hokum is basically just a really really good Silent Hill movie and I would like ten more

Reminder: If you’ve ever called her mommy, you owe her a gift ✨

My four-year-old’s new favorite game is to pretend he’s Pauline and I’m DK, then loudly sing songs at me while demanding I pretend to be different animals but also a gorilla

there’s just something about kindhearted raven haired women in cowboy hats idk idk

♥️

I have been wanting to have this convo since MagicCon ATL, and at MagicCon Las Vegas it finally happened! I spoke with the women who make MTG about inclusivity, characters, the messiness of womanhood, and the importance of always looking to bring more people into the Gathering. My interview 🫰🏽

Been drawin’ these 2 a lot lately lol #onepiece

so Quandrix, The Proof absolutely slaps huh???

We need to bring back the sheer simplicity of just calling games “a third-degree blackbelt in crap”

Enough with the Star Fox discourse, wake me up when they bring back the REAL sexiest anthropomorphic video game character of all time

not everything being deployed as marketing is news. if you frame all marketing as news. you are just doing marketing for free

wake up, babe. new “fuck, marry, kill, chill” prompt just dropped

My entire timeline is either talking about how much they hate Fox’s new design or how much they want to fuck Fox’s new design. We truly are a country divided

I interviewed Sam Reich! He's obviously very funny, but I've been wanting to ask him about his thoughts on game design for years – he does a lot more of it than your average game show host! I'm really happy with how this turned out

I am so sorry (I'm not)

I see a couple comments saying “but don’t you work at GameSpot?” so reminder that we have a whopping two women on our editorial team: one writer, one producer. Our writer is remote (me), and our producer was out of the country. I wish we had more women on staff, but I have zero control over that

I played Mark Rosewater in Mood Swings, and something nearly happened in the match that, after 28 years of development and thousands of matches for Rosewater, had never happened before. Magic The Gathering Spin-Off Mood Swings Is A Much Deeper Game Than You Think: www.gamespot.com/articles/mag...

Surprise! I'm so excited to head to Kyoto and talk to 17-BIT Studio about their upcoming game. I'll also be attending BitSummit for the first time ever! ⛩️

Sorry to vent, but man, maybe I’d be interested in a Steam Controller if I knew literally one outlet who let a woman review it. I’ve tried to find one! I’ve seen Reddit threads asking if any women reviewed it, proving there’s a need, but no reviews!

I love this dumb game so much
