The Blood of Dawnwalker looks SICK 😮‍💨 Thank you to the Bandai Namco Entertainment team and fortyseven for the invite!! I’ll be writing up my thoughts for Newsweek! (How insane is this cathedral setup?!)

honestly I think there needs to be more hedgehog media. Sonic’s like the only one

Watching people be upset with the latest Xbox CEO over her layoff decisions HAVE to have been living under a rock these last five years. There’s NO WAY you are actually upset after previous management basically paved the way for it to happen by wasting millions of dollars on crap.

Happy Fathers Day 🍌

I was in LA on Thursday, Boston on Friday, and now Orlando. At least I got to ride a few things I hadn’t experienced before with my wife!

Here's this week's #Substack, which includes freelance writing and indie game marketing Tip #9. Here's why networking matters, why you don't need every social platform, and why I'm spending way too much time with Batman. tinyurl.com/4kwm2vwt #freelancewriting #indiegames

Game failure? Layoffs Game success? Layoffs Game delayed? Layoffs Game delivered? Layoffs Game announced? Layoffs Game unannounced? Layoffs Game good? Layoffs Game bad? Layoffs Game AI? Layoffs Game no-AI? Layoffs Game hated? Layoffs Game beloved? Layoffs Money cares more for layoffs than games.

I posted #8 in my freelance writing and indie game marketing tips, as well as went over how I will be moving to Substack posts once a week, preferably on Wednesdays or Thursdays. So, check it out! substack.com/home/post/p-... #substack #freelancewriting #indiemarketing #gamingpr

While I truly enjoy that there are people out there discovering Pokémon for the first time and finding value in it to finance their livelihoods, I can't WAIT for the market to fall so I can play with my friends again.

That XBOX showcase was incredible! It was even better being in the room with the die hard XBOX fans. So happy for them to see the IPs they love THRIVING in big ways and celebrating games and the people who make them.

idk about the rest of y’all but the only time i park facing forward is when im at the grocery store.

I also read The Man Who Laughs, and honestly, I thought it was kinda dumb. Maybe because it had the Made of Wood storyline in it?

I was finally able to get the first volume of Absolute Batman from my local library, and it's time to dive in!

It's #Substack time! This one is all about @frownsmarketing.bsky.social and the next steps we are taking to continue moving forward! It's also a bit vulnerable, so I am sorry about that 😅 open.substack.com/pub/queenoff... #marketing #indiegamemarketing #gamingpr #indiegames

the long halloween is so so good. it’s taking me FOREVER to read it, but i’m glad im taking my time. i’m hoping to rent absolute batman volume 1 next.

Today's #Substack is here! I can't believe I'm up to number seven in terms of freelance writing tips and indie game marketing tips. I really hope that you've been getting use out of them. #freelancewriting #indiegamemarketing #steam #indiegame open.substack.com/pub/queenoff...

I had totally forgotten to post about it over the weekend, but last week's Friday Substack was published! It asks (and tries answering) the tough question: why won't you write out of your comfort zone? #freelancewriting #indiegames #marketing open.substack.com/pub/queenoff...

was no one gonna tell me about the upcoming butthole surfers album???

im loving the new lego batman game. so, i rented the long halloween off hoopla!

The first Substack of the week is here, and I do a roundup of the first five #indiegame marketing tips I've given. I plan to write these roundups every five posts, but please consider subscribing anyway! #substack #videogames #marketing open.substack.com/pub/queenoff...

Friday's #Substack is here, and it's a round-up of all the #freelancewriting tips I wrote over these last three weeks. I've written a lot, and I can imagine no one wants to go through it all, so I compiled them into one article. open.substack.com/pub/queenoff... #freelance #gaming #indiegames

I had the wonderful opportunity to check out @mixtapegame.bsky.social by Beethoven & Dinosaur for @thenerdstash.com. I think reading everyone's opinion and understanding the social media controversy behind it made writing my thoughts a little bit easier. thenerdstash.com/mixtape-revi... #gaming

Today's newsletter is out! I dig into the reality of being a freelance writer and putting all your eggs in a single basket, as well as why you should join @cavebeargames.bsky.social if you're an indie dev. Check it: tinyurl.com/37kr3a92 #gamestop #newsletter #gaming #indiedev

Today's Substack was accidentally scheduled for 12 am instead of 12 pm, so here it is now! This issue goes over a few things that you likely know as a freelance writer or indie marketing dev, but might not be implementing. #substack #indiegames queenoffrowns.substack.com/publish/post...

i am in no way an expert on this, but i’d like to think that if the ebay deal does happen, we will stop seeing items that GME sells in-store for inflated prices.

It’s Tuesday! That means it’s Substack newsletter time! This one goes over: - Creating an indie game press kit. - Tips on getting freelance gigs. - One (1) gaming complaint. Check it out! open.substack.com/pub/queenoff... #newsletter #substack #gaming

My third overall #Substack article and second update of this week is officially up! This issue includes a how to stream to your game’s #Steam page, a post by Adam Doud, and a bit on this past week about checking in digital games on the #PS5. #gaming open.substack.com/pub/queenoff...

tragic news . . . . . remember u always

Season 4 of skate. by developer Full Circle is launching in early June, with the team bringing back features like Finger Flips. For @newsweek.com! #skate #fullcircle #ea www.newsweek.com/entertainmen...

As part of the new Tetris update in Retrocade, I not only wrote up a little piece about the news for @newsweek.com, but also recorded a bit of my experience within the Apple Vision Pro! #applevisionpro #apple #vr www.newsweek.com/entertainmen...

I got the awesome chance to chat with Tommy Palm of @resolutiongames.bsky.social about an update to Retrocade that uses spatial computing to let players enjoy the new Tetris addition in an 80s-inspired Japanese arcade for @newsweek.com. #newsweek #applevisionpro #tetris tinyurl.com/yey43bbf

remember folks, physical is only better if players actually allow it. you can’t ask for massive games then get beat up about it not fitting in a physical cartridge or disc. nintendo does that and some players HATE the outcomes.

Issue 2 of my free Substack newsletter is available to check out! It’s got: - The best articles I’ve read/written all week. - A section on job advice for freelance writers. - A section for Steam visibility for indie devs. #newsletter #videogames queenoffrowns.substack.com/p/scooby-doo...

idk why i’m thinking about it but laufey reminds me a lot of sailor neptune

A new update for Arc Raiders on PS5 updates visuals and enhances features to make for a much more engaging experience. www.newsweek.com/entertainmen... #arcraiders #psrpro #pssr @newsweek.com

Developer Pearl Abyss reportedly gifted their employees each with $3,400 USD to celebrate 5 million copies of Crimson Desert sold. www.newsweek.com/entertainmen... #crimsondesert #pearlabyss #newsweek

it seems like the only way to end digital forever in games, layoffs, and mediocre AAA games is to just stop buying them. more money just means new ideas.

I don’t like stating the obvious, but this is horse shit. "Plug in your PS5 right now to keep the game you bought with your hard earned cash to own. Also, you'll own nothing and like it." Modern gaming is so freaking bleak… 😔

:))))

Experts reveal that popular video games that have already launched were done so with the help of AI such as Claude. www.newsweek.com/entertainmen... @newsweek.com #residentevilrequiem #capcom #claude

Square Enix reveals that Final Fantasy XIV will be available on Nintendo Switch 2 this year, alongside other announcements. www.newsweek.com/entertainmen... @newsweek.com #ffxiv #switch2

We're so thrilled, and honestly still quite overwhelmed, to announce that Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 has officially reached 8 MILLION copies sold! 🌹 Thank you so so much to every single person who has played, created art, shared, streamed, discussed, and supported this game!! ❤️

My plumber about to tell me I have irreversible water damage

Forgot to mention it on the show, but the highest total donator/Patreon pledge for our campaign to help with our travel and hotel to SGF, will get this PS5 Pro faceplate with the @pstrophyroom.bsky.social crew’s autographs and maybe even some surprise signatures while we are at the event…

There is a lot for Capcom to celebrate when it comes to the release of the latest "Resident Evil" installment, "Resident Evil Requiem. www.newsweek.com/entertainmen... #residentevilrequiem #residentevil #newsweek

I feel that this particular move was a long time coming. I'm hoping it clears up a few things about myself, @frownsmarketing.bsky.social, where I am in life, and a few other things moving forward. I hope you consider subscribing! tinyurl.com/3ejjb2tc #substack #videogames #freelance

I really want to thank the @megacatstudios.bsky.social team for letting me and my niece check out the Backyard Derby demo of Backyard Baseball during #PAXEast for @newsweek.com! www.newsweek.com/entertainmen...

I finally got around to finishing Tombwater by developer Moth Atlas for Newsweek! It's easily become one of my favorite games, and I can only hope that there is a future with more installments! www.newsweek.com/entertainmen... #indiegames #review

I got to see Exit 8 last night! Super grateful for the invite!
