Writing and deleting a lot of feelings tonight about *major industry pillar* and their absolute refusal to do moderation despite running several of the biggest games of all time

What's a rhythm game tournament like? 2 people both play the same song(s) and then the higher score moves on?

Great report from @jacksonwryan.com about this mess. To show you all how frustrating this has been -- ClickOut Media's GamesHub still lists me as an active "Games & Tech Editor", and I'm placed alongside their fake AI 'writers'. I've asked them to stop, but these sites are desperate for credibility.

I've never worked with ClickOut Media, and YET I've still been personally affected by their reckless 'journalism.' I'm considering options now, but I can say that my old work been messed with on a site that COM acquired last year, and that I've been recently exposed to legal issues because of them.

I've been impacted today by a layoff wave at Riot.

If you or someone you know needs content operations, content/brand strategy, tooling/systems leadership, product management, or project management in games then hit me up. 13+ years experience in games alone.

I'm in the exact same boat

I played an early build of Ratline and can confirm it has The Juice.

Tim has been making Rootrees-likes since before Roottrees had even been concepted. He's the quiet master of the genre and this one is all about bringing escaped nazis to justice.

Mm ok, makes sense with the "per number of opponents" text.

Is TMNT not standard legal?

Level with me Bruno, is this card bad? I don't play MTG but it seems bad.
