I am sick of writing up layoff news and decided to start looking about the people making the terrible decisions that lead to those layoffs.

New games no longer have a siren song for me thanks to the endless pile of games I haven't yet played www.rogue.site/editorials/b...

Seven years later, I finally played Control.

This week's Freelance Friday is from @candidphotographer.bsky.social who looks at how Dying Light addresses Kyle Crane's (extensive) trauma. www.rogue.site/editorials/h...

Another day, more layoffs. I'm getting sick of writing these. www.rogue.site/news/epic-ga...

Game development at Red Storm Entertainment is ending and Crystal Dynamics is hit with the fifth round of layoffs in a year. You know, a normal Friday. www.rogue.site/news/layoffs...

I absolutely love this Freelance Friday piece. It's always good to have a sweet little story in the face of the unrelenting horrors.

I have tried multiple times over the last year to make sense of the various allegations and accusations around Subnautica 2. I finally just sat down and wrote it all out.

This week's Freelance Friday is from @geoffreybunting.bsky.social with a look at your new favorite repetitive strain injury-inducing roguelike, Key Your Debt. www.rogue.site/editorials/k...

Oh man, @ripefly.bsky.social's maps remain the best in the business: www.rogue.site/guides/resid...

I do love writing walkthroughs for these games.

As we close out this week of Next Fest, we gathered one more roundup of recommendations. www.rogue.site/editorials/o...

Our next Freelance Friday is a lovely piece from @katyar.bsky.social on finding hope and a cure for despair in Citizen Sleeper. www.rogue.site/editorials/n...

I will never miss a chance to badmouth Lovecraft. (But the game really is very promising.)

Jeff sat down with @mikerugnetta.com and @rorycarroll.bsky.social to talk about the far-reach effects of the chip shortage. www.rogue.site/news/rogue-o...

This was a great conversation that really drives home just how far-reaching the effects of AI data centers are. Thanks to @mikerugnetta.com, @neverpo.st, and @rorycj.bsky.social for a fun (and bleak) chipchat.

We've got 10 more demos you should check out from Steam Next Fest! www.rogue.site/editorials/1...

We're joined by @geeky.bsky.social this week to talk about the recent practice of hate campaigning for games long before they release. www.rogue.site/editorials/h...

Some news - today I’m launching One More Catch, an independent publication covering Pokémon Go and the next generation of Pokémon games: @onemorecatch.site

It's Freelance Friday (I'm going to keep calling it that until the others tell me to stop) and we've got a review of @3peso.bsky.social's Labyrinth of Touhou Tri by @wendeego.bsky.social. www.rogue.site/editorials/l...

Is there any aspect of daily life that AI can't fuck up?

I can't even keep up with the news for my cyberpunk series at this point.

The "instant success or cut your losses" trend is untenable and the human cost will impact this industry for years to come. www.rogue.site/news/two-mul...

I was really impressed with @inkle.co's TR-49 and I wanted to know more. I'm extremely grateful to @jon.inkle.co for his time and his really great answers.

HumanitZ from @join-indie-io.bsky.social is a lonely, desperate game that leaves room for hope … once you find a new pair of pants. www.rogue.site/editorials/t...

My favorite part of writing these is finding stuff I've never heard of like We by Yevgeny Zamyatin.

Thanks so much to @mprnews.org for covering #Comics4Liam. www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...

The Boys started strong, but after season two the show really started to shit the bed -- and I figured out the two main reasons why. www.rogue.site/editorials/t...

I wasn't planning on reviewing TR-49 when I sat down to check it out yesterday. And then I devoured the entire thing in a single setting because it's just so good.

Sorry — we forgot to post this earlier! Alice sat down with @bysameng.com to talk about the incredible Skate Story. www.rogue.site/editorials/s...

More bad news out of Ubisoft. This is fine. Everything is fine. www.rogue.site/news/ubisoft...

I have fallen in love with this game.

We started Rogue with the statement, "We’re glad you’re here with us. Be good to each other, and let’s make something amazing together." And now is the time for togetherness. Here's how you can help. www.rogue.site/news/how-you...

I've been getting an incredible response on this video, so the lovely folks at Rogue had me guest-blog about the experience and what devs can do to help their games stand out! Pro tip: don't be an Easy No!

Our friend @thejenna.bsky.social put out a video we loved so much that we got her to write about it for us! www.rogue.site/editorials/g...

Oh would you look at that, gang, we're just about 15 followers shy of 7,000 on this here Friday. Can you help us hit The Big Number before the weekend? Thank you to all of you for your amazing support so far! It's been an awesome first few months, and we have a lot more planned for 2026!

To end our first week back, we've got a unique, conversational review for Metroid Prime 4: Beyond from @ripefly.bsky.social and @rygilliam.bsky.social. Chatty side characters, the empty desert, linear level design? Which is Beyond's ultimate sin? www.rogue.site/editorials/a...
