horizon zero dawn. the triple punch of finding out the truth behind operation enduring victory, zero dawn, and the alphas is what made me understand what video game storytelling is uniquely capable of.

the count of monte cristo is a slapstick comedy but only if you too are a hater

“Rowling has made it abundantly clear that she thinks attacking transgender people via the legal system is a worthwhile cause and a good use of her vast personal fortune…there’s no way to watch this show without supporting Rowling’s bigotry and the structural violence she’s inflicting…”

playing red dead redemption for the first time as god intended: on my iPad, with touch screen controls, via my ad tier netflix subscription

This weekend I’m going to continue HOLIDAY HEROINE by Sarah Kuhn and HOW WE PLAY THE GAME by @alexisthenedd.bsky.social. #WhatAreYouReading?

finished wonder man and i have never said these words in my LIFE but joseph gordon-levitt did not deserve that heat

Trans issues one of those things where in theory it’s a tricky area with a lot of grey areas and nuances and in practice it’s just this shit. Why you’re a sucker if you actually get involved in parsing the specifics of like JV soccer league rules.

I’ve had lash extensions for the last two weeks and am now unfortunately dependent on the outrageous power boost they give me re: having big stupid doe eyes that get me stuff.

motion to add “disaster biathelete” to the canon

Age verification? I live in New York and I don’t date comedians.

Kendrick and Bad Bunny playing back to back super bowls was a special treat for me, my sister, and Miles Morales

It’s an honor just to be Puerto Rican 🇵🇷

Lmaooooo benito said Gaga can be Puerto Rican today, is ok

Watching the Super Bowl as god intended: At an airport bar in Canada

I’m flying from London to Vegas tomorrow and will be around a few days before DICE if anyone wants to witness my sense of time collapse into a dense vantablack cube

my subway take is if you buy wifi on a flight you’re the problem. eight dollars to be bothered in the sky. i’d rather be dead.

i lowkey fw these because square toe sandal pumps make me feel like a witch from The Witches but these have more of a shape

I’m so excited to say I will be at DICE this year as a Black Voices in Gaming Scholar!!!! I’ll be in Vegas early too, if anyone will be around and wants to say hi before the summit starts! Thank you so much @bvigaming.bsky.social !

My manager at work is significantly younger than me and since I have been a super young manager before, I am willing to be completely mature and normal about the fact that the book she enthusiastically recommended to me turned out to be hardcore werewolf vampire porn 🫠

post going viral = alerting all of the guards in a video game

Went to the NYC Game Awards with the squad @alexisthenedd.bsky.social and THE AWARD WINNING SOUTH OF MIDNIGHT WRITER @zeestermeester.bsky.social 🎉🎉🎉

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
