hi! i'm co-founding a new gaming website with my former polygon colleague @zoehhannah.com. it's called mothership.blog. i made it for someone like me... the kind of website i always wished we had in our space. watch the video to learn more :D

It's time to board the Mothership. www.youtube.com/shorts/iEw90...

I’m proud of the smart, funny and super sharp @alexisthenedd.bsky.social, whose book (How We Play The Game) was named as a New York Public Library Best Book of 2025!!! bsky.app/profile/alex...

trans people if you did nothing else this year you made it through 12 months of the federal government having your extermination not low on its list of priorities and you can feel really good about that it’s a big deal

At its core, stranger things is about a supernatural force of evil pointing to a nine-year old and saying “i want that twink obliterated.” Like at what point can we call this bullying

terrifying realization that if i start tomorrow and watch one mcu project a week for the rest of the year, i still won't be able to watch the entire canon before doomsday.

the office food delivery app has started using ai generated photos in their online menus and it's possible they maybe should stop doing that

Today is the day I can happily announce that my book HOW WE PLAY THE GAME is a New York Public Library pick for Best Book of 2025! Thank you YA librarians!

Update to say my question mark was warranted and they do have one (1) POC writer on Control Resonant. I hope the rest of the team recognizes every iota of their value as a creative

We can’t afford a $1M trailer slot 😔 But reposts on Bluesky cost $0 - and they really help tiny teams like ours ❤️ If cozy medieval creativity is your thing, here’s our Scriptorium trailer!

obviously I am going to play and probably love Control Resonant but one day it will be considered weird to set more than half of your games’ settings in a pop culture informed representation of New York without having a single (?) poc on your writing team.

I’m still going through my DMs and want to keep this open in the spirit of looking for people who have been laid off in the games industry this year — if you can’t DM me just reply and I’ll follow you back so we can talk.

Our statement on the recent layoffs affecting workers at Coatsink, Splash Damage, Glowmade & Square Enix, putting over 300 workers at risk of redundancy in the run up to Christmas. If you work in the UK games industry, join our union today: iwgb.org.uk/en/join/game...

Watched Frankenstein last night and you know what, Guillermo, I had fun. I hope you had fun! Now can you please do The Count of Monte Cristo like you’ve been threatening since the 90s?

I’m going to go through my DMs for the DnD art thing tomorrow, thank you to everyone who reposted!

Before I go on Etsy, are there any laid-off game artists in my follower/repost pool who would be available for a custom DnD party art commission? Four characters, a few special requests, preferably by Christmas? DM me! I have money!

fired up hades 2 tonight and the thing about the Prometheus fight is he’s disrespectful. I have mastered every aspect of the magical armaments of night herself and the first thing this asshole does is kick me to death with his bare fucking feet. At least bring a weapon. a bird is also not a weapon.

wicked for good + the wizard of oz is so funny because now it's canon that whenever fiyero wants to make friends his first instinct is to improvise a musical number about how he's the dumbest man in the world

Hey y'all. I wrote a thing. Enjoy.

listen i wasn’t wrong

how come these stranger things kids get a Hat Man who looks like Jamie Campbell Bower but when I take too much Benadryl and see mine all i get is night sweats. unfair

You: You better not be a cunty lil dresser when I get home

idk man i think his head just kinda did that

I spoke with people role-playing ICE raids in video games to help educate people on their rights and what to do in real-life situations. Tonight, they're holding an event in Fortnite www.wired.com/story/activi...

does pokemon legends za get more fun or is it just snatching the little bastards in nine different variations of thompkins square park

“The hero of the Wizard of Oz is Toto” ➕

this is SO COOL look it's my BOOK

I totally understand going to The Game Awards, especially if you’re nominated. It’s a big moment! If you’re going and want fashion advice, DM ME! I’ve dressed a few people for TGAs (for free obv) after going a wee bit viral for ragging on our industry’s atrocious style. kotaku.com/game-awards-...

god gave you a voice so you can shut it the fuck up sometimes

the best wingman you'll ever find is a drunk older white lady at a bar who fully assumes you and your hot friend are dating and when you say no she pulls up a chair, sits down, and asks you both to explain to her why not

your outie got to meet the pope

The difference between corporate toxicity in games and the overwhelming kindness I encountered with members of the game writer community last weekend is so huge it’s a little upsetting. Imagine watching the Mouth of Sauron ride into battle on Shadowfax. Get that gorgeous horse out of there.

A Steam Machine? *scoffs* It’s called a train, you idiot.

Sorry to say it but this is absolutely true. The surest way to register your discontent with the focus and quality of the NYT's journalism is to disengage from the publication's biggest revenue driver. Try Puzzmo for your daily puzzle fix. It's great!

the new york times relies on its immensely popular games to both drive subscriptions AND generate ad revenue from non-paying subscribers. stop playing wordle, even if it's free.

hello game dev community, i am looking to interview a few people who have been in the industry for 5+ years and are comfortable in the role they chose for themself in their career. i want to hear from everyone, producers, engineers, narrative, community managers, etc. !!!

is it even a gorgeous AAA narrative open world action adventure game with performance capture and true-to-face character modeling if noshir dalal doesn't show up a third of the way through and start purring (i just finished ghost of yotei)

not to be dramatic but we only set the clocks back six days ago and i don't think my body will ever recover

not even married but I’m participating in aloof wife autumn
