God’s favourite absolute unit has returned:

"Hey, how can we burn through the tiny amount of trust our playerbase has in us?" This. This is how you do that. #TheSims #TheSims4 #TS4 www.gamespot.com/articles/the...

Writing cover letters like

It's such bullshit that the max amount of interest you can get in Animal Crossing is 9,999 Bells. I have 34.4 MILLION Bells in the bank. WHERE IS THE HIGH-YIELD SAVINGS ACCOUNT OPTION, NOOK?

Good afternoon, you degens. (I say, as if I am not also a degenerate Leon-loving weirdo.) 👨💖 www.gamespot.com/articles/if-... #ResidentEvilRequiem #LeonScottKennedy

If y'all thought me getting laid off would result in me taking a single day off from writing about video games, I have news for you! Happy to report I am back to freelancing with the wonderful team at GameSpot, to whom I already owe so much. #Highguard www.gamespot.com/articles/wit...

Heartbroken to announce that I got hit by the layoffs at Polygon today. It was an honor to work with the amazing team there. If you're looking for a games/entertainment writer with a deep knowledge of everything from live-service shooters to horror titles to delightfully weird FMV games, hit me up!

I feel like younger people don't realize that the internet wasn't always optimized solely to make you as angry and miserable as possible, and people are having a lot of nostalgia for 2000s internet vibes now because it wasn't like that back then

The second you leave this country for even a few days, you realize the place you call home is decaying at an almost exponential pace. The realization that you don't have to live like this is stark, and that nobody in power is taking tangible actions to fix it in your lifetime is even starker.

The last line of this article by @beautybot.bsky.social made me fist pump into the air. Good stuff. www.polygon.com/best-breakup...

I am extremely hyped but also not sure how I feel about first-person combat. I like seeing my protagonist run around in the fog!

I said what I said. 💀💘 #Fallout #FalloutSeason2 www.polygon.com/fallout-seas...

IT'S HAPPENING OH MY GOD 🔮⚔️🧙‍♂️ #BaldursGate #BaldursGate3 #BG3 #TLOU www.polygon.com/baldurs-gate...

If you think Apex Legends is "over," go to Japan 🎮💜🇯🇵 #ApexLegends #Apex #ALGS www.polygon.com/apex-legends...

Last night I had a dream where my teeth were falling out and also I was naked in school and also I couldn’t find my classroom and that meant I wasn’t gonna be able to graduate and also the police were after me and man that was a nice break from everything

Not a single day goes by without me thinking about how incredibly lucky I am to have the coolest job in the world, working with the coolest people in the world, and covering my favorite games in the world. 💜🎮🔫 #ALGS #ApexLegends #Japan #Sapporo

I think this is the first time my body has truly relaxed in like... I don't even remember. So grateful to get a break from the absolute shitshow that is my home country. Also it looks like there's a daedric shrine outside my hotel room.

No pressure or anything but go play Pathologic 3 right now or we can't be friends anymore. 🥀🐂🩸 #Pathologic #Pathologic3 #IcePickLodge

For me, the Xenomorph's introduction in Alien: Isolation is right up there with the zombie reveal cutscene in the original Resident Evil. Utterly terrifying. Really hope they keep this energy going in the sequel. #Alien #AlienIsolation www.polygon.com/alien-isolat...

The holidays are always awkward because people offer me alcohol, I turn it down, and then I worry they assume I've got a problem with alcohol, and I guess I technically do. The problem being that I spontaneously developed an allergy to it this year and now everything but tequila causes a reaction! 💀

Caught that awful Coca-Cola commercial on Christmas day, and before I could even open my mouth, my 79-year-old dad turns to me and asks, "Is this one of those AI-generated things? It doesn't look right." So grateful I was raised by a man who won't fall for Shrimp Jesus memes on Facebook.

From Alien: Earth to Marvel Zombies, it's been a surprisingly good year for scary television.

Yes, this is me admitting I'd be 110% down to live in Ebisugaoka. Is it full of monsters? Yes. Does it emanate impeccable vibes? Also yes. #SilentHillf

The Polar Express is a horror movie and nobody can change my mind. Those faces are absolute nightmare fuel.

This was an absolute delight to write. 🎤💜⚔️ #KPopDemonHunters #Kpop

Having a cat, I must sleep with my door cracked so that she can be both in and out of my room. Despite this door always being cracked, she always busts into my room in middle of the night with the same energy and force as Kramer entering Jerry's apartment.

IMO, last night was the best TGA we've ever seen. #TheGameAwards #GeoffKeighley www.polygon.com/tga-felt-lik...

Another person confirmed dead as I wrote this. 4 in total currently, at least 11 injured. 38k gallons of fuel burning, and it apparently crashed into a building that houses additional fuel. This entire afternoon has been so surreal.

A plane crashed at my local airport today. The sky was black with smoke, they told us to turn off any air intake to avoid breathing it in. At least 3 people are dead, likely more. Maybe we should like, fund the FAA and give ATC their fucking paychecks, but what do I know? I'm so tired.

This is one of those movies that I always struggle to recommend to people because it's not an easy watch, but it's certainly a film you should see at least once, and its message is far more effective than anything D.A.R.E. ever came up with.

30 years ago today, Hackers was unleashed upon the world, and it's still an incredibly fun nostalgia trip. I still haven't recovered from the "bad guy steals floppy disk while riding a skateboard and holding onto his own getaway car" scene. Peak cinema. www.polygon.com/hackers-30th...

Respectfully begging y'all to launch your AAA RPGs with a BG3 Magic Mirror/Cyberpunk Ripperdoc-plastic-surgeon mechanic *already* in the game, not added in months after launch. #Cyberpunk2077 #BaldursGate3 #TheOuterWorlds2

Do I love this idea? Yes. Do I have any faith it will work as advertised? Not so much. 💔 #TheSims #TheSims4 #TS4 #AdventureAwaits #LoveIsland www.polygon.com/sims-4-adven...

Had a blast playing this preview and writing this piece. October 29th can't get here fast enough. #TheOuterWorlds2

OK but the chestburster is low-key adorable, like why do I kind of want one now?
