Befuddled please-help-with-article-research post #231231: I'm looking for examples and discussion of "postcolonial open worlds" (inc discussion of the validity of that term), together with formally unusual writing about open worlds.

From myself and the whole team at @eurogamer.bsky.social, a very fond farewell and huge thank you to our friends and colleagues (thread).💙

Already feels strange cut off from work. I don't like it. Please get in touch if you have any opportunities.

Sadly my role as Video Producer on Eurogamer's YouTube channel has been made redundant. After 7 years it's a heart-breaking goodbye, but I'm thrilled to announce that I'll be continuing to create the deepest of dives into videogame lore on my own YouTube channel! 🔍 YouTube.com/ZoeDels

PERSONAL NEWS: After 13 years working as a (legendary) video producer for @eurogamer.bsky.social I have been made redundant in the recent Gamer Network cuts. I loved that job so much (probably too much) and I will miss the people and the opportunities it gave me, but I'm not ready to give up yet!

🔴LIVE FROM 6:30PM GMT🔴 I may have been made redundant but I won't let that ruin a good Friday chaos stream! Join me for a look at the Marathon Server Slam, followed by REPO from 8pm and @PUBG customs from 9:30! Watch here: www.youtube.com/live/lFGivJj... or on twitch.tv/platform32

Alex is also great, an endless font of in-depth game knowledge and journalistic wisdom

Without both Tom and Dom not just deciding I was worth taking a chance on at VG back in 2023, but providing all the support anyone could ask for as I worked to grow and repay their faith, I genuinely don't know where I'd be.

RIP, the dwarf series and books have made me smile in tough times more often than I can count

Some news - today I’m launching One More Catch, an independent publication covering Pokémon Go and the next generation of Pokémon games: @onemorecatch.site

If like one or two more people had left, they'd have had to panic and pretend they'd appointed Master Chief's shapely buttocks while they hunted for an heir like the desperate court of a siblingless child king who's dying of the plague

POV you are about to lose at Guess Who

First review of the year from me, and one that took a lot to unpack

Same, the story and world building are 10/10, the creakier practical aspects of playing the thing which games have since evolved away from are the reason I'm still yet to do more than one playthrough

Now that we're firmly in 2026, I've got pitches I want to talk to you about! If you're looking for feature pieces, opinion pieces, news and reviews, I'm looking too! Shares appreciated, email is [email protected]

Bit of fresh reporting from me on one of the Disco thruple, or quadruple, or fivedruple, depending on how you prefer to classify them

Delighted to see this piece up! Massive thank you to all the women who shared their experience with me for this 🖤 www.gamesindustry.biz/a-decade-on-...

Update: RPS have gotten a heap more context from one of DoomScroll's creators and a modder who flagged concerns about how the level mods it includes have initially been filtered

I'm looking for work. I have experience working in news, features, interviews and essays, and am able to do any of the above.

So I'm taking the plunge and ordering some PC parts over Black Friday. If you appreciate what @startmenu.bsky.social has done over the years, like @rewinder.co.uk/my freelance work, or thought I didn't sound like an idiot on Game Mess Mornings, now would be a great time to show your appreciation.

Still looking for work! I've got ideas coming out of my ears, so hit me up!

Sources say he's been yacking about virtual motors again

RGG localizer Michele Howe (Neverwhere/Nevvie) has just passed. If you can, please share or donate to the fundraiser for a proper coronary report and final expenses.

If I go missing into next week or so, assume the Katamari mafia rolled me and some concrete up, then headed for the sea

Yearly bad words to people who do fireworks in the back garden, as my cat hides behind a unit with eyes the size of planets

I'm in this crossover episode, and even referred to by my secret actual job title

One from me.

Mixed feelings about the ending, but the journey to get there slaps

I don't have any RPS freelance budget to spend, but if I did, you best believe I'd blow it all on commissioning a 5000 word essay about the perfect strategy for getting away with running red lights in American Truck Simulator

Nice of someone to make a documentary about how I feel taking in parcels
