Worth reading this for the first reply alone

Very pleased to see Sinners everywhere in this year's Oscar noms, surprised Weapons didn't do better, and the F1 movie getting a Best Picture nod is absolutely baffling:

In ON3 we want to showcase and mentor 6 new voices in 1000 word features. We champion long form videogame journalism, the future of print and give freelancers a fair deal. Email [email protected] by the 8/2/26 with an example of your writing and your experience to apply. on.games #GamesJournalism

there are too many posts on here about "world events" and "AI" and not nearly enough about "Mitsibushi Delica"

Q: How do I unlock Sunglasses Macron? A: It's very difficult to unlock Sunglasses Macron in the course of a normal game because it requires a specific and unlikely sequence of events. While default Macron is ruler of France, the USA must choose the monarchy path and then lay claim to Greenland.

Finally!

"What's your favourite Beatles album, then?" "Tough one! I think I'd have to say... The Best of The Beatles"

LOVE to see it

New Edge magazine day, with The Blood of Dawnwalker by Rebel Wolves on the cover ⚔️

Travelling back in time and showing a Victorian child Metroid Prime 4. Just as they’re about to incredulously mutter something, I go “everyone hates this”

PMG won the Knickerbocker Award for Best Games Journalism last night at the @nyvgcc.bsky.social! It feels like we've come such a long way since we first launched this thing nearly eight years ago, but winning a journalism award at an event in NEW YORK CITY still seems totally mad to me.

The Nintendo Store app has a detailed breakdown of your playtime with any game and those early lockdown days of Animal Crossing were WILD

Does anyone have decent Turnip prices this morning? (Yes I’m fully back.) #ACNH

NEW PROJECT Very excited about this show. Episode 1 is out now and I think it turned out pretty well. Check it out!

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

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♥️

after flying back from Vegas last week, I was just laid off from Inverse today. I'm open to connecting over email at [email protected] and I'm definitely still in the writing and editing space. Expect a more in-depth explanation coming soon in my Updater newsletter. shannonliao.substack.com

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.

Understandably, search interest for how to reset and start over in Animal Crossing is up following update 3.0 - but there's a few things to consider before taking the plunge:

Last week, I got a corrections request for a story I didn't write, on a publication I don't write for. It sent me down a very strange rabbit hole involving a mysterious content publisher. There's a lot I don't understand, but here's what I know: aftermath.site/nicole-carpe...

Hey UK friends - it would really help me out in my day job if you could take this anonymous survey. Even if you don’t watch Korean drama, that’s still really useful data for us! tally.so/r/81LqBo

I hope the writing is as good as this

This is a cool new role in video working across @gamesradarplus.bsky.social and @pcgamer.com in the UK. Please share if you think you know people who'd be interested. apply.workable.com/j/29B1BC6C85

I'm back at Eurogamer helping cover Animal Crossing's 3.0 update and can confirm the Megaphone continues to be almost completely broken

vertical shmups have names like "Understated Sadness" and sidescrolling shmups have names like "Glorbian"

Yup, this is great. Just missing a bottle of Lucozade.

Hi, I reviewed the Commodore 64 Ultimate. It was … emotional www.theguardian.com/games/2026/j...

Plaid and Green government. How exciting!

omg

We're looking for a News Editor to join TWIV. Ideal candidate would have proven experience with: - Working in news for a games outlet - Conducting original reporting - Mentoring junior writers ...and genuinely enjoy writing news, diving deep, and talking to people. UK timezone preferred. Email me.

The interview with Legend in the Radio Times is absolutely brilliant

Good game. Good console!

What could have been: We talk to members of the original Mirror's Edge team about the sequel they wanted to make.

Ocean Software (Recruitment ad) / Print ad / Ocean Software / 1991

We'll be publishing our full report from the hearing tomorrow afternoon (UK time), but needless to say, there's an awful lot of additional context to understand about what happened here. This is a really tough outcome for the union's members, especially those who were in the UK on work visas.

Such is the mistrust of anything resembling AI, Nintendo has been forced to deny it artificially generated a mother and baby in its latest Super Mario marketing campaign

Lucky I'm not super into LEGO as this would bankrupt me:

screenshots of the startmap I built for qbj3 or Quake Brutalist Jam III some fancy bits in here will be in the coming update, like the paintings and plaques

The Cardiff Lions do an annual Drag Rugby charity match for children’s charities and it’s as beautiful as you imagined

Congrats @midimyers.com and @zoehhannah.com on the reveal of their new publication, mothership.blog!

Does anyone have any games they'd consider great but not "fun"? In the sense that The Long Walk (2025) is a great but not typically fun film?

Hey folks, I'm looking to speak to a developer who has previously made a game/games through Steam early access, and decided NOT to make their next/current project through early access. If that's you, get in touch at [email protected]. Reposts appreciated.

Good morning

So sad to hear of Patrick’s passing. Always a joy to see him at events over the years, and he was always happy to lend his expertise and time with Destiny, a game I’ll forever associate him with. Such a loss.
