A-Arc raiders...

Took out a Bastion in Arc Raiders last night on a solo run and a random helped me out by pulling its aggro. This game is really special and I’m loving it!

A judge ordered SNAP benefits restored after six weeks of shutdown, and New Jersey declared a state of emergency to keep people fed. Forty million Americans waiting on food isn’t politics - it’s collapse management. When courts and governors become the safety net, the system’s already gone off grid.

look how beautifully these trousers hang

I do not think you can charge £10 a phantom draft, on a digital card game platform with a closed economy that has NO WAY of withdrawing value. This price is absolutely INSANE. Cube deserves better than this. All that, and more in today's video.

TAKE TUESDAY OFF

Trump gave Amazon a $16 billion tax break to accelerate its investments this year. Now, Amazon will replace 600,000 workers with robots as Jeff Bezos accelerates his plan to automate warehouses. No. Corporate tax breaks do not trickle down to workers. Never have. Never will.

only took 4 episodes for this show to go off the rails

Hey the new podcast I’m editing with @gamespot.com featuring @lucyjames.games and @kurtindovina.bsky.social went live today! Be sure to check it out and show some love in the comments!

Halloween Costume Idea: Sexy Government Shutdown

The way I’ve tried explaining the grip Icy Tower had on me as a kid and none of my friends knew what it was, and I can finally be like “here look at this fun ass shit” makes me so happy!

PODCAST UPDATES!!! We’ve been promising news on GameSpot podcasts and the day to deliver on that promise is here with two announcements! First up, I’m proud to introduce Kurt & Lucy Gotcha Covered.

One Battle After Another was incredible. PTA continues to baffle me with how many genres he’s able to play with and still stick the landing.

🚨NEW: For the first time in history, the single largest group of people arrested in the interior and sent to ICE detention is people with NO criminal record. As of yesterday's data release, 40%(!) of those arrested in the interior and detained by ICE had no prior conviction or pending charges.

In recent months I have had to make some seriously stressful decisions about what I can and can’t get at the supermarket. Eggs might not be $9/doz where I live anymore but everything else has gone up in price quite a bit.

Edited a new piece for @gamespot.com this week, be sure to give it a look if you’re on the fence about Borderlands 4.

@jeanluc.bsky.social's video on Borderlands is exactly what I wanted to hear about this game tbh. youtu.be/CwXcljsdkYI?...

There has been a rush among centrists like Gavin Newsom and Ezra Klein to brush over the hateful life of Charlie Kirk and valorize the man. Let me be clear, killing Charlie Kirk was wrong and abhorrent. We must condemn murder without sanitizing a man who built his empire on hate. My latest piece.

RFK Jr. and Trump tell us they want to Make America Healthy Again. Great slogan. I agree. Unfortunately, they are doing the exact opposite. Vaccines work. They are safe. They save lives. No more conspiracy theories.  Kennedy must resign.

In Seattle this weekend, but not for PAX, just hanging with buds! Today I got to visit Riot’s offices for a wonderful little Halo LAN event!

16 player city trial in Kirby Air Riders is gonna be so fun!

One sentiment I keep seeing from folks online is that “BF6 is going to kill CoD” and vice versa. But what if, and hear me out, both of these games can successfully exist and even have overlap in player bases? Also I don’t think people saying this fully grasp the differing appeal between the two.

I wish life was more like the first 1/3 of "Boogie Nights", and less like the last 2/3 of "Boogie Nights."

This is exactly how things went down at G4. We found out from social media posts we were all losing our jobs before our leadership had told us. What a wild world.

Snagged a couple of bangers for the @criterion.bsky.social sale at B&N! Favorite time of the year!

My video on the System Shock 2 remaster is up. Had a lot of fun making this one! www.youtube.com/watch?v=rnnS...

Spent some time updating and remaking my portfolio website. If you're in games media or a developer in need of an editor, hit my line! www.emiliofornatora.com

Splatoon 3 has still got it

If anybody out there in gaming/games media is in need of a full time/contract; video editor, post production coordinator, or live broadcast producer, please shoot me a DM or an application link. I’m working on updating my professional materials currently, and am looking for my next project.

LudoNarraCon is always such a fun time of the year for me! This is the third year I've gotten to edit the panels and streams for @fellowtraveller.games and I still never get used to seeing my work on the front page of Steam. Be sure to check it out! store.steampowered.com/sale/ludonar...

I am legit way too hyped to get my Switch 2 in June!

I’m going to try to share the YT link when they inevitably upload it. But everyone should watch John Oliver’s piece on Trans Athletes that aired tonight. While I feel like most folks in my Bsky circle are progressive, I think sharing and spreading that piece is important. @lastweektonight.com

my computer, playing a game at the highest performance possible: heh, twas but a piece of cake... wouldst thou like me to do anythingst else, mademoiselle? i am, as always, at your beck and call... my computer, in after effects, moving a single png from one side of my timeline to the other: hopitale

I was irritated when the MSRP of AAA games went up to $70 new, but the argument of "well they've been $60 for so many years that now they should cost more" did at least make sense. But seeing articles about the Switch 2 game pricing being $80+ is pretty abysmal. I can't justify that shit in 2025.

lol I feel like I must be in Hell because it doesn't matter what industry I move to, I just get doomsday articles like this right on my feed. In media, it was the same, "THE ENDTIMES ARE HERE, LAYOFFS APLENTY" type shit. I am so damn exhausted right now.

Hope it was worth it to stop a few of us from peeing.

I may be tired and a little hoarse, but as I said again and again on the Senate floor, this is a moment where we cannot afford to be silent, when we must speak up.

I just know Trump is going to call the WI election "rigged" in some interview/speech soon, and he's right! But the ones who rigged it lost.😮

elon musk can eat shit 🫶🏻

It'd be so funny if Elon asks for the $1mil checks back if Schimel loses.

Ah! So it goes.

The C stands for Copyright. Pressing the button allows you to report any rom websites, fan games, or other copyright infringements directly to Nintendo so they can issue a cease & desist.

I cannot wrap my head around the concept of conservatives being all about "tradition", and then just being okay with a president openly stating that they're going to run for a third term. Like if that's not going to be the straw that breaks the camel's back then the camel doesn't even fucking exist.
