“don’t take the bait!!!” THEY’RE PEOPLE BEING TERRORIZED BY ARMED FEDERAL AGENTS, NOT TROUT

Had to leave the prerelease before it even started lmao what a bummer

The memoir game isn't new, but it is having a moment. I blogged about the boom of autobiographical games in the early 2010s -- and why the sub-genre is now returning with a vengeance.

too many good folks out here without the means to live and continue doing good

Breaks my heart to share this, but today is my last day at The Verge and I am looking for work! I'd really like to stay in video games, preferably in some kind of journalistic capacity but I can do PR/Marketing and maybe even a lil Narrative Design. Please get in touch! www.ashparrish.com

There must be a better way for games journalism to flourish. Just an absurd loss of talent in the space in a single day.

Inverse has decided to "divest from gaming content" so I'm out of a job again! This is almost certainly the end of my career in games media, and probably the end of my writing career. I'd love for that not to be the case, so I'd appreciate any leads but I'm honestly not hopeful for obvious reasons♥️

Boil 'em, mash 'em, stick 'em in a stew but sung to the tune of Magus' theme

Hayes and I have never worked together, which is a damn shame, but we've been friends for a while. Trust me when I tell you that he's the best interviewer in the business, a fantastic writer, and a better person. The games press is better because he's in it. Hire him.

Oh my god, LOOK AT IT

Hayes is one of the best games writers out there. If you have space on your team, or have any leads, please keep him in mind!

While Yokohama Duel first released in 2018, the latest edition comes with some notable improvements. Read the full review here: www.jetsonplaysgames.com/post/yokoham...

I will say, all preview events going forward should have a chill cat, called Chicken, hanging out with you while you play.

Feel like I've got some really great stuff coming out this month. Excited to share my work!

I know, I know, anecdotal and all, but I have actually seen several MAGA people turn the other way here after the latest ICE events, so it feels like perception has drastically shifted.

I bet a bunch of ICE goons like to call themselves "Irish" because their great great grand cousin traveled through Donegal once", so it's worth iterating that almost all Irish folks think ICE are a pack thugish fascist punk bitches and they'd get spat on if they called themselves "Irish" in Ireland.

This seems like a maliciously put headline to make people feel a certain way. Wikipedia is not partaking in generative AI. They are making AI companies and scrappers having to pay for training their modules off wikipedia texts. And having an AI (not that ai) tasked with updating dead links.

Should have just moved to Ireland

[Democratic politician watching me be strangled to death] "Please don't struggle. If you fight back, you're giving him exactly what he wants."

The idea that resistance is "giving Trump what he wants" is insulting. What he wants is obedience

Very cool and normal that basically 99% of laws can be ignored if you are rich and just say "Nuh-uh", when someone accuses you of doing something, no matter how much evidence they have.

i think it’s pretty fair to consider CBS straight fascist government media, trumps administration is clearly drip feeding them narratives and “scoops” and obviously CBS will run them with zero regard for fact

Yakuza Kiwami does feel like a bit of a step down from the high bar set by Yakuza 0, but it remains an engaging, moving, and hilarious experience that successfully honors the beginning of Kiryu's legend. Read the full review here: www.jetsonplaysgames.com/post/yakuza-...

We need to pick up this Overton Window and throw it as far as we can. Stop waiting for shit to “be popular” and start advocating for what is transparently right.

Trying to play a game for review, but it keeps putting me to sleep. Like actually asleep, snoring in my chair. Not really sure what to do. It's just very dull! But I also haven't gotten far (on account of the naps), so not sure I can say I've given it a fair shake.

not ICEkanda forever lmao omg

I've been wanting to do a tribute piece for FINAL FANTASY TACTICS: The Ivalice Chronicles for a while now, featuring my main team at the end of the game. 😁 Here's to one of the best games of all time! 🥂❤️

Arknights Endfield is just around the corner. Here's our preview: www.jetsonplaysgames.com/post/arknigh...

Thank you for making Minnesota not feel alone right now. Since MinnMax is a Minneapolis-based outlet, we unpack how the city is feeling in this public episode of Bonus Pod. youtu.be/OY6ZPb2NHO8 ICE out of Minneapolis.

Just so this abundantly clear: Fuck ICE. Fuck this administration. Fuck anyone supporting this still.

Almost hard to fathom having the type of disposable income that allows you to drop 700 bucks on a Lego set at will.

I was gonna write more today, but so far my Anatolian Shepherd / Great Pyrenees mix has decided that he is a lap dog.

I love that our government is telling us we need to be treating all the ICE ppl they've deputized to terrorize us like they're fucking dipshit horses that'll spook if you look at them too hard

Fuck these guys man. I don't want to live like this

Really don't know what I'm supposed to do here. We can just never leave? We live in a rural area, there's no way people will come help us if accosted.

ICE has made it to our town

it would be very funny for the Bears to win, all things considered.

Incredible photo.

Unexpected work on a Saturday evening. Love America.

If they don’t want to give us federal funding, we shouldn’t have to pay taxes.

Any ICE agent who hasn't resigned by now deserves whatever they get. Every one remaining is all with overt murder and fascism for a paycheck.

I think about how online audiences have been trained to look for reasons that victims are actually the villains, to recast them as the perpetrators, and how these are the same narratives the state uses to ensure the mechanism of patriarchy—violence, abuse, and murder—continue with impunity.

Ah, this a much better explanation of what I was saying re: Larian "in-house" AI. Not possible.

Was hoping to finish up some gaming stuff today but then my dogs got out and I spent a long time hiking in snow to get them back. Just too tired to do a damn thing.

Wishlist it. Play it when it comes out.

Perfect Tides: Station to Station has been nominated for two IGF awards: -Excellence in Narrative -Seumas McNally Grand Prize This is such a tremendous honor, and what a nice hurrah as and the team and the playtesters and I race towards the finish line. Nomination list: tinyurl.com/2zzt8sw4

QRTing a thing someone made and saying something nice about it would save the Internet. The feeling of seeing a paycheck hit is nothing compared to the dopamine rush of reading someone saying something nice about a thing you did.
