are we talking about something a person wrote, or one person’s reading of what that person wrote

Super proud to have made it into Critical Distance for my Pokémon ramblings that are actually life ramblings. thisweekinvideogames.com/feature/who-...

thank you Hannah Einbinder 🇵🇸 “There is a greater toll in not speaking and you've just got to have your priorities straight. I am under no impression that my small career could ever measure up in comparison to even one human life. It's an obligation and I will always do it.”

If it was made by a Western studio there’d be an endless parade of dudes telling you how its storytelling was brilliantly subversive.

Went to browse PSN/ eShop for 2026 stuff to check out and fuck me do I wish there was a filter option for ‘Real Games’

Nito, the First of the Dead, The Witch of Izalith and her Daughters of Chaos, Gwyn, the Lord of Sunlight, and his faithful knights. And the Furtive Pygmy, so easily forgotten.

I feel like I’m on the Truman Show

Plainly, this is why celebrating Outer Worlds as an anti-capitalist masterpiece or Forza Horizon as cultural love letters hits the palate so wrong. There are many, many other texts that do these things (better) and don’t require tactical sociopolitical omissions in your critique.

I just think about this advice from @nogamesforgenocide.com quite a bit... for no reason in particular

oh the latest entry in my column THE WORK is up, in which the movie MICHAEL made me think of stories told to resist cultural shifts towards equity, and how anyone can use these tools to whatever ends they wish aftermath.site/the-michael-...

My toxic trait is that I think I could rock a Blue-Eyes White Dragon t-shirt

This is, unfortunately, a fucking stunning arrangement.

Academy Award winner Emma Stone being the love interest in Sleeping Dogs feels illegal now

Business continuing as usual just under a different branch of Microsoft means I’m not gonna hand them an optics win, but there’s no reality in which this doesn’t reflect some degree of success for movements like BDS. “What will boycotting Xbox really do?” this, my dude. Tooth and claw it from them

what ways can marvel comics bafflingly undermine a Jonathan Hickman project this time

Imagine film criticism beholden to Tucker Carlson.

I wonder how different the tone would be around Mixtape if the devs/reviews hadn’t insisted on it being a universal experience.

First feature is up! Wrote about the cost of comfort, Pokémon entitlement, and the never ending feeling of being ten bucks behind the world.

"[this opinion] is going to make me play [game] and talk about it isn't it" Yes! fuckin do it! don't let one or two people say shit if you disagree—engage! I'd rather someone go "hey you're wrong and here's how" than hear another round of kvetching over the mere occurrence of discourse

“Do you hate fun?” is universally the wrong response to good criticism.

You can just dislike something.

I have reviewed Mixtape. This is the Hater Zone. Don't be surprised to find Hater Opinions here. I've warned you.

Every time I hit publish on a big feature I’m like, “Damn, this is the best thing on our website.” But man — this one is absolutely killer. I love it. Maddie crushed it. So many great insights and quotes and jokes. Please read it and support independent reader-funded games journalism thank you!!

Regina always says “let’s start over” #LastFourWatched #LetterboxdFriday

92.1 + 1.5 = ???

my dumbass thought this was a new video essay

It feels good to be a winner

I am fully here with this. The pitch of a 64 remake is dull but those character designs are making Choices and I think that’s wonderful.

idk I think the Starfox characters look fine

Taking my instagram off private so the sea lion trainers can see my constructive feedback comments

I'm sorry I know this is curmudgeonly, but a small change that I think would go a long way in games discourse is if we referred to gaming CEOs by their last names instead of their first

We’re going to get a lot of opportunities in the coming months to interrogate the messaging coming from Xbox and I think everybody with a platform owes it to their audience to approach these announcements with some critical thinking

right about now it's time to rock with the biggity buck bumble

Stoked to say that I’ve joined the This Week In Videogames team as Reviews Editor and Contributor with a focus on features and news. First op-ed will be up next week but for now it just rules to have found a home for my words again.

Gay men will tell you they know a place and it’s just this

I'd really like to write one of these on a day where something bad hasn't happened. No such luck yet. I talked about Paste's legacy, where we are, and where Skybox is going this year.

my dear friend renata price has been working painstakingly hard on this, and it's possibly my favorite work of hers, which is saying something considering everything she's done is singular in craft and care. get this in front of your eyes www.youtube.com/watch?v=FoWg...

They made commercially viable, auteur-driven adaptations and gamers hated them so now we’re doomed to boring Resident Evil movies.

Streets are saying Devil Wears Prada 2 is a surprisingly sombre take on a dying media landscape
