Game reviewers, I have a question: Do you finish the games you play before you review them? If not, how far through or how long do you play before you feel confident writing a review? Legitimate question, not trying to throw shade. #gamereview

It’s exciting to note they haven’t figured out exactly what’s causing the hallucinations and also that it’s like CONSISTENTLY little dudes.

Worth remembering that this is how companies force disabled workers out of their workforce. If any disabled workers impacted by this want to discuss, you can reach me at [email protected] and on signal: gabunting.89. Anonymity guaranteed.

"The cartoon aesthetic hides a dark interior, the genre sets people off their guard, and the sense of humour in the writing might be mistaken for childish goofiness, but Nexomon Extinction is far more than it appears to be on the surface." justrelaxplaygames.wordpress.com/2026/01/22/a...

Now that I’m unemployed, please invite me on your podcasts to talk about games, the industry, media, whatever else. I promise I can make time.

hey guys, just to confirm this is my fundraiser. i didn't want to ask for help, but i do need it. my cancer is back. i am going through a lobectomy next week, the same surgery Walter White undergoes. i can't express how grateful i am. thank you so much everyone. www.gofundme.com/f/support-ge...

A lot of progress but still a ways to go for the month. I'm disabled, homebound, and at this time of year, I'm even more vulnerable. I need help to survive the winter. 🙏 💸💸 Goal: 400/1300 ko-fi.com/jebwrench

Woke up feeling like hell warmed over. I'd planned to get a bunch of writing done, but I think now I'll just do a little bit of writing and spend the rest of the day resting. Hopefully tomorrow I won't feel quite so much like my brain is trying to escape through my nose.

NEW BLOG POST: A shorter piece about revisiting Kingdom Hearts pixpen.co.uk/2026/01/19/e...

gaming is only books if the game has a defined ending and then you sit back and think about it

Alright, here's the official I'm looking for work thread. After four years at Inverse, taking the lead on gaming coverage, I'm now completely open to work. I've been a reporter, editor, podcast host, and much more. If you want to see what I can bring to the table, here's some of my best from Inverse

I started watching this recently. It has a lot of emotion behind it, and I'm really impressed with the way it handles an ongoing difficult situation. Also I can relate to Makio a lot. For better or worse, I guess.

I'd love to see an observation/ecology-based dungeon crawler. "Plant" becoming "herb" becoming "If I mix that with [x] I get [y]". Giant lizards losing their stripes as they mature and become more powerful. Ambush predators. Lairs. Poisonous mosses that only grow near water. That kinda thing :)

I'll get some #ScanlineSunday snaps in with one of the few games to be set in Wales, and precursor to Shadow Hearts: PS1 gothic horror RPG Koudelka. 📺: Philips consumer TV, RGB SCART

All of my PlayStation first-party mini-reviews are now linked in this one post. I’ll be adding each new write-up here!

Path of Radiance hitting harder than ever right now

BrokenLore: UNFOLLOW is a slow, story-driven horror game that puts atmosphere and exploration first. It’s not perfect, but there’s a clear sense of purpose behind it. Our full review is live now. #BrokenLore #review #gaming #GameReview

I tried this by putting biscuits in some key lime Greek yogurt yesterday and trying it this morning. It was so good, and I'm definitely going to do it again with other flavours!

Post the first game you actually completed! Final Fantasy VII. I wasn't that into video games before I played this one. I'd played a few, but not beaten any. But FFVII's story, plus my desire to impress a friend who liked it, resulted in me playing it a lot and actually beating it.

By resisting the urge to give you everything at once, the Animal Crossing games create seasonal moments that feel fleeting and precious. Written by @jaymcastello.bsky.social, our third piece on seasons is now live: www.eteogames.com/rhythms-of-t...

one of my favorites has always been fantasyanime.com which is just about games and emulation

Inverse's Gaming section is being shut down as the company "divests" from gaming content. I'm out of a job along with my wonderful co-writers. I've put my heart and soul into this job for four years. Gonna need to take time to process, but I'm now completely open for work - and boy do I need it.

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♥️

Reviewing Powerwash Simulator 2 today. @powerwashsimulator.co.uk The story was lacking compared to the 1st game, but the mechanics were top-notch and deeply satisfying. justrelaxplaygames.wordpress.com/2026/01/16/s...

Last month, I had the honor of interviewing Frank Wildhorn, the legendary Broadway composer and mind behind the Death Note and Your Lie in April musicals, alongside many others We talked about 25 years of his work reaching audiences in Japan and much, much more

Oh yes, listening to lofi music while writing is an excellent way to spend the morning. Even if it's technically afternoon.

Right-o, time to get offline and go play more Grandia!

I worked on Trails beyond the Horizon! I hope you guys enjoy cause this game is really really special 🥰

I'm completely baffled by this. Has no-one heard of simpering before? www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/s...

QTP with 4 games in your backlog!

In for a penny! Let's talk Final Fantasy! Day 1 - Final Fantasy VII. Like many people, I got into the franchise late. Even if I wasn't as appreciative of JRPGs then as I am now, it still made a deep impression on me.

I'd hoped to get another review written for this week, but I haven't finished any games lately, so that'll likely have to wait until next week. Frustratingly, I'm near the end of 2 games, and halfway through another one, so if I'd just pushed a little harder...

I've been commissioned to write a piece about games based on real places that changed peoples' perception of that place or had some kind of local impact - are you a dev who made a game like this? Or are you a player who has a story about a game that inspired you to visit somewhere? Let me know!
