The worst thing a Spurs player has done since the last time Spurs played.

Remember the internet before Google, before algorithmic feeds, before monolithic social media corralled us onto the same handful of apps? When small, *personal websites* and webrings linking them together reigned supreme? Time to bring it back.

Google made a flight sim so we crashed a plane into their HQ. www.jank.cool/oh-dear-i-ha...

Blood Dungeon's demo is the best 2010-era freeware game you've ever played www.jank.cool/blood-dungeo...

Hit Points is, somehow, five years old. Five! To celebrate I have knocked 55% off an annual subscription, and waffled on at customary length about not-E3 (and that horrifying Xbox memo). Please read/sub/share/say nice things etc newsletter.hitpoints.co/380-bro-talk/

Do not give up hope. Here are the games from not-E3 that were worth your time www.jank.cool/12-upcoming-...

Baffling to me that people think Nintendo are playing it too safe, as if Bananza, Kirby Air Riders, Tomodachi Life, Yoshi And The Mysterious Book aren't all deeply strange games or unexpected sequels. Even Pokopia takes a beloved series into an entirely new genre. The Switch 2 is only a year old.

There's no article on Jank today because I instead made a supercut of every time Gary Neville says "at this moment in time" on his podcast. Sorry www.youtube.com/watch?v=rjBc...

GOLD TEETH has launched! It's a piratical TTRPG set in a cursed version of the Age of Sail, with 350 pages of briny phantasmagoria, colonial terror and nauseating seafood. It's part Master & Commander, part Blackadder, left to ripen in the sun like a beached porpoise. teethrpg.itch.io/gold-teeth

Happy Summer Game Fest week! We built a way to keep up with video game news from every source in a way that (hopefully) doesn't make your brain slide out of your ears. ☼ overworld.vg ☼ It's a cool new website! In 2026!!

Some news from me! I quit GameSpot to launch something new. Introducing @lookingfor.game, an independent weekly newsletter where I highlight upcoming PC games and deliver demo codes straight to your inbox. Sign up at lookingfor.game 🥳

Over a year ago, I spoke with @rasheedabueideh.bsky.social about Dreams on a Pillow for a piece that was killed before it could be published. I am honored that he was willing to take the time to speak with me again in spite of that and tell me about his beautiful homeland: kotaku.com/upcoming-ste...

Zero Parades: For Dead Spies is "sleeker, sexier, more self-consciously dangerous" than Disco Elysium. "It is outsider art made from the foyer, safe from the rain." www.jank.cool/zero-parades...

New one about record shopping in the 90s, how intentional discovery used to be, how algorithms have taken that away from us and why we should probably start putting in the work again. (It's about games eventually, promise) Accidentally made it free. Oops! Go: newsletter.hitpoints.co/374-blue-note/

my last 20 games!! 98% positive on steam :O store.steampowered.com/app/4044300/...

wanted to say re: this review that there has been an overarching "if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all" attitude around writing critically about indie games (partly cuz the most common haters are bad faith reactionaries) that's really hobbled the space for a long time

I am only now actually reading Mixtape discourse. The line that bothers me most is 'Stacey's music taste wouldn't be like that at a time without the internet.' I promise you that people were insufferable about stuff before the internet came along.

mfw you try to talk to me about the MIxtape discourse Anyway here's my contribution to the Mixtape discourse

26 years ago, three Canadian modders found themselves in the incredible position of making an official Die Hard game. For two of them, it was the start of decades-long careers in the games industry. For the third, it spelled the end of that career before it had begun. www.pcgamer.com/games/action...

Pokopia? On PC? It's called Abiotic Factor www.jank.cool/abiotic-fact...

Big news! We're offering a big bundle of subscription to different independent media websites. These are all very cool people who have been working with me to conceive of whatever is next for worker-owned journalism. Half-off subscriptions for a month, and your existing Rascal sub is comped!

WE HAVE A LAUNCH DATE FOR (NEW) FANSPLAINING! And it is very soon: next Wednesday, April 29th. 🎉🎉🎉 We (@elizabethminkel.bsky.social, @lincodega.com, and @bookshop.bsky.social) are so excited to share everything we've been working on these past few months!!

This is some neat-sounding bullshit I wrote because Idols Of Ash is actually about being scared by a giant centipede so you press W too hard and fall down a hole

Angry about things but my rule is I post music rather than negativity so here's a song that's like The Go! Team or a Girl Talk mashup to fuckup your headphones youtu.be/XCCMYxvIGQI

This tweet is a lie because actually Q3DM17 is number one

Check out me, writing about computer games!

Really enjoyed this one - as both an interrogation of a previous Jank piece that went viral, and as an example of a form of back-and-forth conversational games criticism I miss.

Jank has been going for 2 months. In that time we’ve published over 100 articles. We are not fuckin around. Here's a rundown of our work so far. www.jank.cool

Many people don't realise you can recreate the experience of playing Dead Or Alive as a teenager in your parents' house simply by watching DJ mixes on YouTube.
