Very strange that the guy who plays Dan Hibiki thinks he deserves mic time www.cracked.com/article_4947...

Took some time to unpack a few thoughts on Expedition 33. Watching what I thought was a "pretty good" game get transformed into A Cultural Object has been disheartening. So I have some thoughts on glitz, glamour, and respectability... transgamerthoughts.com/post/8027631...

Reposting my @gamespot.com Clair Obscur article because it’s feeling relevant again TLDR It feels like many of the JRPGs I’ve loved before but everyone likes it because it isn’t anime www.gamespot.com/articles/cla...

This echoes a lot of the same sentiments I had from my GameSpot article about E33 and I think it’s worth a read How E33 has a more “acceptable” aesthetic with the heart of a JRPG

People really don't know just how tough it is to equip so many different musical instruments in the span of a single Game of the Year medley for The Game Awards.

It's time for the first annual Rogueies — our own version of Game of the Year coverage. We've got a lot of fun stuff planned for the last few weeks of the year! www.rogue.site/editorials/w...

I see a lot of people bemoaning western games for being increasingly homogeneous, ugly and unstable, but I think that does a disservice for the many horrible gacha games on display that are basically indistinguishable from each other too.

you should all play more indie games made by 1 to 4 gay people in their bedrooms

r/halflife is taking hl3 no-showing the game awards well

First myth of marriage to be punctured: I couldn't wait to be added to wife's health insurance because I've been paying for my own for years. We just learned it would cost $550 to add me to her plan, which is actually $100 more than I'm paying myself every month. INCREDIBLE!!!!!!!

HEY FOLKS! Now I am back from Japan I wanted to do a proper *I'M LOOKING FOR WORK* post. Reviews, previews, features, podcasts, on-camera stuff, online, in print... I can do it all! And have been doing it all for like six years! If you have a beat on any opportunities, please let me know.

Let's hope the book doesn't have a section on Brazil or "third world countries"

At both Gamescom and TGS I have spoken to several PR folks who've lamented how hard it is to get coverage now, even for bigger games, and I feel like I am losing my mind because between startmenu and Rewinder I have never been so frequently stonewalled on coverage requests.

Even putting aside all the inherent negative externalities of these things (a lot to put aside!!!) the real blood boiling bits will be familiar to any freelancer or gig worker: a job that starts out relatively comfy (or at least tolerable) getting squeezed and squeezed and squeezed until you burnout

it is nice for my old boss at Hard Drive to put in writing that he loves Elon Musk and was uninvolved in us wrecking him on twitter lol

REVIEWER: This game is too easy READER: Hmm, sounds like a problem with the game REVIEWER: This game is too hard READER: Hmm, sounds like a problem with you Always found it 'charming' that one criticism is valid but the other seemingly isn't allowed

great review that communicates why i had issues with even the first HK too

i don’t think people realize that before spotify i used amv recommendations on youtube to find new songs lol

This is just the second piece I've seen that grapples with how Soulslike and Metroidvania systems actively work against one another to the detriment of the video game (among other things) instead of... you know, getting caught up in the hype and praising Silksong because it's Silksong.

Something I've noticed is that companies are shifting back to emphasizing that smartphone cameras use "machine learning", and "neural networks" instead of trying to sell the technology as "AI", and while that's technically correct I think there's a realization that the term can be radioactive.

anyone ever just reread something they forgot they wrote and think “lol i’m funny”

i’m going to see hayes at the ff panel today with yoshi-p and ff art director hiroshi minagawa and you should too!! you can stream it remote from the link here at 11 am PT/2 pm ET

If you’re at PAX West, please come to the Relationship Between Game Design and Art Direction tomorrow, Sunday, on the main stage at 11am PT. If you’re not at the show you can tune in, and see me, your host, along with Naoki Yoshida and Hiroshi Minagawa! www.youtube.com/live/aB2WfPs...

PAX West Day 1 ✨ Come say hi!!

I’m going to be at PAX West!! ✨ Excited to see my friends and preview some gud games. Email is in bio for PR!

Kinda wish we could have more than one conversation about anything. Bioshock Infinite, for example, has a lot more going on than its terrible “both sides are bad” centrist racism. But that’s kind of been the final word on the game for years and idk. Lot of stuff happening there!

Can't believe I get to say this, but extremely excited to announce I'll be hosting a panel at PAX. On Sunday, August 31, I'll host Naoki Yoshida and Hiroshi Minagawa's talk about the relationship between Game Design and Art Direction. See you there. west.paxsite.com/en-us/schedu...

things we’re apparently not supposed to talk about: - black samurai - yellow fever in the games industry - people not playing jrpgs because they are anime
