It's here! This has been an utter joy to work on for Dragon Age 2's 15th anniversary. Huge thank you to David Gaider for taking me through how he and all of the writers managed to get this fan favourite story finished, with no time for redrafts www.thegamer.com/dragon-age-2...

setting up a crowdfunder rn

some of these were easy choices, some more difficult. bound to think of a no-brainer in three seconds. two. one...

It will always be Hamlet but I love Titus Andronicus for the sheer bloodlust and have always had a soft spot for Julius Caesar since seeing a great production of it at the RSC c2012

he's done it again folks, he's got a 10,000 word transcript for an 800 word feature

Öoo is fantastic and perfect for the Switch! On an unrelated note, if someone could buy me a Switch 2, that would be boss ta

I'm at warhammer world this weekend, mostly because my little guy is featured in their mass-participation battle (cool!) but I've been sidetracked by their range of warhammer-themed pints who's going to commission me to taste test every one on the menu?

I think about this Tony Benn speech much more than I used to

daughter's nursery has just set this up 🙃🙃🙃

"If I was to use ChatGPT for my designs rather than our designer Sean, that's taking money out of the local area into the hands of a multibillionaire ... removing value from the local community and local artists [and] into the hands of some of the richest people in the world." #AIslop #refuseresist

Welcome to One More Catch, a new independent publication covering Pokémon Go and the next generation of Pokémon games:

The Wind Waker Majora's Mask Link to the Past pains me not to put Breath of the Wild there but what would I replace? tough one

was looking into curling classes and wondered how many people were thinking the same thing. yep.

a favourite photo you've taken (this came to mind of pics that are available on my phone and not counting ones of the kids)

what's your favourite kitchen utensil and why is it the spaghetti measure

Instant Patreon sub from me, as it should be for you. Joe is the TCG 🐐 and Booster Pack will be boss - excited to see what he's cooking!

I'm launching a site! Booster Pack is an independently run and community-funded site dedicated to TCGs like Magic: The Gathering, Pokemon, Lorcana, and Yu-Gi-Oh! Been working on this for a while, and I'm excited to finally be showing it off! www.boosterpack.site @boosterpacksite.bsky.social

I chatted with three Apex devs about the game's legacy, how it has moved away from its original Titanfall inspirations, and how the OG Infinity Ward team shaped the game's early years. plus bonus polar bear Gibby lore www.pcgamesn.com/apex-legends...

calling it a day at seventh on the leaderboard for this browser luge game, otherwise I'll really get nothing done

love the winter olympics. currently watching '30 second ski but it's really bumpy and you have to do two backflips' no idea how scoring works, what's good or not, but it's riveting

reading my first alan moore novel atm and there are so many words in the english language that I didn't know existed

“Four of my children just evaporated,” Badran said, holding back tears. “I looked for them a million times. Not a piece was left. Where did they go?” There are no words to adequately describe the evil here.

For the first time since 2022, I’m over at @gamespot.com, discussing the 10th anniversary of Firewatch and hypothesizing about why games like this just don’t seem to break through anymore in the 2020s. www.gamespot.com/articles/fir...

my tattoo artist is from barcelona and, while renovating his house, stumbled upon a whole civil war era bunker hidden behind a wall, which he's now converting into a lord of the rings shrine with argonath statues and all the rest. is this not every middle-aged bloke's dream?

not on that this friday has such monday vibes

I want smaller newspapers with actual fact-based reporting made by people who are paid more to work less and I'm not kidding.

The Escapist is freezing its freelancer budget, which means I am available for work! I’m a journo with multiple years of experience as a writer and editor, and I’m open to work on any kind of coverage, from news and features to guides and reviews! If you wanna check my work: www.santileguiza.com

I was laid off today, among hundreds of others at The Washington Post. I loved covering games here, and I am so proud of our international coverage. My colleagues — those who lost their jobs and those who didn't — are rockstars. It was such an honor to work alongside them.

Hate how often I have to reshare this but it looks like my two most regular workplaces have cut their freelance budget. I've enjoyed writing, reporting, consulting, and mock reviewing over the past few months and I'd love to do more of that for you. Get in touch with opps, for rates, or any qs.

important subbing today

Neil Gaiman: it's me neil gaiman, imagineer and dreamweaver Gaiman: have you ever considered Gaiman: the incredible power of story? Gaiman: but perhaps even more powerful are the stories that we don't tell Gaiman: anyway here's my NDA

book club tonight at least

I feel the burnout creeping, creeping was meant to have a week off next week to recuperate slash get my accounts in order but forgot about a big subediting job I accepted in october health is in the pits, kids keeping me going but they require a lot of energy too welcoming tips for staying afloat

already failed my new year's resolution to not buy any warhammer this year... ...but she'll make an excellent tech-priest

got a big feature (seven interviews!) to write today, which means two things: 1. lots of posting 2. sea power

also this reminds me that I always wanted to interview the devs of Dredge while sea fishing - I know a fisherman and all. don't know how I'd front the cost as a freelancer though - virtual fishing, perhaps? not quite the same

oh this is phenomenal

A new website about PC games, from me, @brendyc.bsky.social and @jonhicks.com. Reader-supported, which means no ads, no guff, and lots of games blogging about delightful things to play. If you liked our work on RPS, we think you'll like @jank.cool.

I'm desperately trying not to get excited for Fable to avoid disappointment but everything they say makes it a more Ben Sledge Game

jealous of everyone who’s gotten to play the demo of titanium court, it sounds awesome

I haven’t read the new @unwinnable.com issue cause my job doesn’t let me print it anymore so I was going to do so tomorrow while I was WFH, but @ashlikeadragon.bsky.social sent me this clip and @austinwalker.bsky.social name-dropped Stop Caring in their interview w @autumn-wright.com !! Made my day.

Very excited for this game anyway, but the marketing has been superb. If only I wasn't working every evening this week...

"writing is done 90% away from your desk" I say during my third visit to that good torta spot this week

long shot but if you were looking to buy a large tapestry or wall hanging (like 2x2m), who or where would you look to?
