@c0rgibutts.bsky.social has always been there for me when I needed it, and I'm asking all of my followers to be there for her right now: her best friend, soul-pup, and baby has had some medical troubles, and she could use all the help she can get: gofund.me/d39cb5360 Pls share if possible <3

I can't escape

Finally got my hands on an N64 again... Now I just gotta get @quest64official.bsky.social to sign and send me a copy of Quest 64 to break it in 👀

Picked up some certified bangers for my birthday today 🥵🔥🔥🔥

When I was 10 years old, I died. Twice. I struggled with coming to terms with what happened at this time for years, until Journey came along. I still struggle with what happened, but I wanted to try to put into words how my life changed after playing this game. glizzy.au/my-journey-w...

Sorry for the back-to-back quote tweets, but I don't know how much this was ever publicized. Escapist's new owners never updated the staff page after the sale. The pre-sale writers were unceremoniously cut, and many never actually contacted or formally separated. Don't trust Escapist's staff page.

I am appalled and shocked to see that NOBODY has created a mod that replaces the Karolos Glintstone Crown with the Burger King Mascot head. Like, genuinely SHOCKED. Is this the thing that is going to lead me into learning how to mod games? ... Sadly, it could be???

Games Beaten In 2026 - Game 1: Fallout New Vegas Excellent writing, fantastic game through and through. The House Always Wins for my first ending, planning on playing through this one again in the future. Will be purchasing DLC and playing that soon. Played on: Xbox Series X

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.

Post a game you remember playing that nobody else probably remembers

In a year full of giant game releases, Promise Mascot Agency by @kaizengameworks.com still takes home my personal GOTY crown. @alphachromeyayo.com absolutely slammed down the best soundtrack of the year, and I need everybody to play this game without second-guessing it bit.ly/4qcbFvp

"the soundtrack absolutely fucks" 😍 Everything about this piece rules, but damn if that isn't an awesome sentence to read 💖 Full thing here ⤵️ glizzy.au/in-a-year-fu...

I like free games. I think it's safe to assume that EVERYBODY likes free games. So why not join the @pixcelverse.com TWELVE DAYS OF PIXCELMAS givvy to get your hands on some free Steam games?!? Also, be sure to shoot him a follow because he's a great fellow: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

Gamejournalistiek blijft in beweging. Nieuwe platforms en de balans tussen passie en professionaliteit maken het vak uitdagend. In dit interview deelt Shaun Cichacki (@shauncichacki.bsky.social) zijn reis, visie en tips voor beginnende schrijvers. pixelpactnetwerk.blogspot.com/2025/10/inte...

So, it's time to get vulnerable again. Some good news: Katie was able to go to work for the first time in almost two months this week. The bad news? She's back on the seizure train nearly every morning, because her neurologist is being stubborn about providing medication.

If you're looking for one hell of a writer, and even more of a hell of a guy, @peagle05.bsky.social should be on your radar. From Indies to AAA, he's the man. Plus, if you need sports for your site? I can't name anyone more suited to cover your Madden/CFB needs.

Good morning! First off, I want to say THANK YOU to everybody who has already donated and shared to help me out. For someone who is supposed to be a "writer", I don't have the words to properly express how grateful I am for every single one of you.

Sam is an absolutely beautiful, wonderful human being. With the state of the industry right now, all we can do is continue to support our friends during this difficult time. Even if you can't help with a donation right now, share, share, share to help spread the word.

Yesterday was an incredibly emotional day. The reception to my GoFundMe has completely and utterly shocked me beyond words, and I am incredibly thankful to every single person who has decided that I am worth their time, effort, and money.

The reception to this has had me in tears all day long. I finally feel like there's a bit of a light at the end of the tunnel, and I am so, so thankful for everyone who chipped in so far

That's why I had to make a GoFundMe. I'm still looking for work on a daily basis, and applying everywhere I can. I hate to ask for help, because I've always found a way to make things work. But right now? I feel helpless, lost, and scared. gofund.me/36d86e027

I need to be vulnerable for a moment: I need help. I've been out of work since July 2025, and I'm running low on funds. My wife has been out of work for the past 6 weeks due to daily seizures, and I'm struggling hard both financially and mentally.

Thank you to @shauncichacki.bsky.social for featuring my game in his latest article about niche indie games! glizzy.au/passion-over... Operation Octo is getting ready to release tomorrow y'all! #indiegame #gamedev #IndieGameDev

It's time for another new episode of #IndieImpact, once again featuring games journo Shaun Cichacki! In this episode, Shaun examines a small (free) indie game by Scary Cube, The Building 71 Incident. youtu.be/sKmI690rTmw @shauncichacki.bsky.social @scarycube.bsky.social #promosky

Does anyone who follows me here suffer from epilepsy? My wife has been having more and more seizures as of late, and her GP has been... less than helpful, to say the least. I'm hoping that I may be able to get at least an idea of what I could do to try and help her out a bit.

Stars in the Trash by @valhallacats.bsky.social is one of my favorite platformers of all time, and as @pixcelverse.com said, it's one of those games that is deeply personal for me. It's a game that deserves your attention, especially if you're a feline fanatic like myself. Be sure to check it out!

ICYMI, new video starring @shauncichacki.bsky.social!

SURPRISE! It's a new episode of #IndieImpact, and this one is indeed a treat. I have been running this series solo for years, but starting now I am bringing in a new face/voice, that of games journalist @shauncichacki.bsky.social! www.youtube.com/watch?v=cb3l... #promosky #indieimpact #indiegame

"Kimchi: A Stars in the Trash Story" will released in two weeks, completely FREE 🐈

hello, poverty-struck freelance writer checking in here i do know my work is worth more than these rates. i also know the job market's fundamentally busted and the world is an increasingly dangerous place for folks like me. im making it work and hope you don't think lesser of me for it.

IT IS NOT HARD TO BE NICE! I'm going to crash out

Thank you for looking at this in a realistic, appropriate and mature manner. A roof over my head is worth $30 an article. Feeding my family is worth $30 an article. I've done worse jobs for much less money, and it's just wild to see how it always comes back to this every. single. time.

apropos of nothing we could all be better to our peers, and it's a good idea to try to make that your first instinct when forming an opinion

Feel how you want about me and my misguided initial goals and processes, but understand that @peagle05.bsky.social and @brentkoepp.bsky.social are just trying to survive. Be kind to them. They deserve that.

Brent and Anthony are two of the greatest people I have ever had the privilege of knowing in my life. Please, support them however you can. I love both of them, alongside my former coworkers with every ounce of my body and soul.

While Dwayne can't say much, I can. He's a literal saint in this field. I've never had a boss who has cared about their friends as much as he has, and I think that's what hurts the most about this whole situation. You've made a friend for life, brother. Thank you for being our shields.

I will also be leaving Waypoint. I have a couple obligations to PR folks I want to fulfill. After that, I'm done. I can't sit back and watch Savage Ventures silence Ana and stifle actual journalism out of fear of being "too controversial".

In an act of solidarity with @acvalens.net I am resigning from my role at VICE/Savage Ventures, with my final day being July 31. I have a few review obligations that I wouldn't feel right leaving behind. But I cannot stand by and watch her be censored for doing her job and doing it properly.

The article was taken down "due to concerns about the controversial subject matter" - luckily, it was archived and can be read here! web.archive.org/web/20250719...

@kazuma.bsky.social is just shy of $2.5k to get their top surgery. If you can share or donate to make a difference, please do! They're so close. Even a few bucks can make a difference. If you can't donate, consider sharing to raise extra visibility for the cause: gofund.me/43be5db3

If you're hoping to help support a new wave of indie devs, please take some time out of your day and contact @fairplaycollective.bsky.social . They rock, and I appreciate the fact that they're doing this, especially when being a developer feels more tumultuous than ever before: tinyurl.com/3axtjfhx

Kaz is SO close to hitting their goal. If you have a few bucks laying around, please consider donating. If you can't, share to get the word out as far as you can!

Maybe it is a good thing that they nuked my Escapist page... 😅

How cool! 41 pages of my work at The Escapist are now... completely gone. My articles still show up in the rotation, but if you click on ANY author page, it's just... gone! Super cool stuff. It's not just me; it's every writer who contributed to the site, as well.
