This is an excellent recent article that adds further nuance to Sega's misfortunes and the reasons why they happened. It's not TK bashing, so please don't just react to the thumbnail. It's an analysis of SoA and SoJ (and a little SoE) and the market conditions involved and the practices of both.

Video game intros and voice acting peaked in this moment

anyways, make video game

I'd love to write about Resident Evil Requiem (PC) this month, pouring my nerdy heart and soul into a timely article... but to be honest I can't afford the game, never mind think about paying myself for the actual work - can anyone help, even just a little? ko-fi.com/kimimi

I dunno that our first Playing Dread episode on Alone in the Dark is the best episode we put out, but it is very, very good. And now the supplemental material is free! playingdread.libsyn.com/ep-1-alone-i...

Hi, please give what you can

Let's do this. www.youtube.com/watch?v=KtQ9...

Imagine my surprise upon discovering my previous transition GoFundMe expired (I was not aware they expired)! So here's a new one. This is a great way to support me if you'd rather make a single donation than sub to a Patreon, and/or want a higher % of the funds to go to me. gofund.me/79ffdd8df

Uhhhh. Strange events are occurring. Neither of these are me. I'm cool with the vast majority of UF knockoffs because people broadly use it as a fun creative jumping-off point, but these are both just... straightforwardly impersonating my work in order to make money. What do I... do about this?

Implicit in this point is that any publicly traded video game company that is staying away from AI assets is a great buy now

this is a good piece that claws at some of the stuff i’ve been thinking about re: Life is Strange lately. what kind of ending do Max and Chloe “deserve”? why did they not “deserve” the ending of the original game? just because it was sad? aftermath.site/life-is-stra...

This year's Game Developer's Conference, GDC Festival of Gaming, will be held March 9-13, 206 at Moscone Center in San Francisco, CA. For the first time ever, the Interactive Fiction Technology Foundation will be represented! IFTF will have a booth on the show floor Wed-Fri so please stop by.

the Deadly Towers manual has some absolute gems for item descriptions

the thing art gifts us is connection, to the artist and to the rest of the audience. the most recent @insertcredit.com episode does such a great job of highlighting that! great job @alexjaffe.bsky.social @adashtra.bsky.social @esper.bsky.social @brandon.insertcredit.com @frankcifaldi.bsky.social

Iran has killed all connections to the outside. But in the early morning the regular internet works briefly. In that time, @hackimi.bsky.social sent me a letter about what it's like being a developer without the internet as the government tries to squash everyone: insertcredit.com/feature/a-ga...

Breaks my heart to share this, but today is my last day at The Verge and I am looking for work! I'd really like to stay in video games, preferably in some kind of journalistic capacity but I can do PR/Marketing and maybe even a lil Narrative Design. Please get in touch! www.ashparrish.com

Nothing like using the Wayback Machine to find a review of your first published video game for... reasons. web.archive.org/web/20100518...

Super Magfest 2026 was filled with some of Philly's finest games! Deluge, Boast Guards, Hugby (Arcade), of the Devil, Little Nemo and the Nightmare Feinds, Pizza Kidd, and Below the Stone were some of the games featured in Magfests Indie Game Showcase this weekend.

My friend Luna and I are selling stickers we made to raise money for our dear friend Lu who was hit really hard by vet bills for their two cats in 2025. Any amount you're able to contribute will go a long way towards helping them. <3 fundrazr.com/LuAndKitties

I assigned students to play Sega's 'The Ooze' this week, and half the class got legit excited. The kids truly are alright.

I'm more proud--and have been more humbled--by the introductory essay I wrote for this interview than anything I'd written in years. Working with Leigh Alexander's story grew me as a historian, and this interview is a reminder that the point of oral history is more than just the collection of facts

Against all odds, it looks like I'll be headed to MAGfest after all. Look forward to seeing many of you there, be sure to stop by and play Little Nemo at booth 26!

I fell through a door installed on the floor of a backyard play place at a kid's party, and one of the boltheads on the back of the door scraped my stomach on the way down. It's the only prominent scar on my body.

A few people have said my latest videos are the first time they ever heard the term "platform adventure," which admittedly used to be a lot more common than it is today. But it got me thinking about where these various adventure spin-off terms came from. Here's a thread. 🧵

Oh…I think I got a little collectible guy here…(made for my Little Nemo game)

Merry Christmas! If you'd like to spend 45 minutes celebrating video game history with me, we're about to debut The Untold Story of the Nintendo Entertainment System. I worked on his ALL YEAR, and I genuinely think it will reshape how we all think about the system. www.youtube.com/watch?v=uJvp...
