Maffew, how did it feel when the L.A Knight botch happened? Did you sit bolt upright in bed, sweating, because you sensed it?

Personal news: I'm leaving my Editor-at-large role at Eurogamer & Gamer Network as part of new cuts. I last year approached my move to Eurogamer & VG247's skeletonization with reluctance, but I ultimately greatly enjoyed giving EG a go. But now after 10yrs & in difficult conditions, it's time to go.

it's somehow managed to get even worse than when I was writing there, and they're the guys who deleted the YouTube channel to push the TikTok!

Saudi Arabia bought EVO. We can still fight for the FGC's soul On what the new change of ownership means for EVO and the Fighting Game Community, and what we can do about it.

I got real mad and wrote about EVO.

Tell you what, it's really nice to find out that a not insignificant number of people only care about disabled people when they're not actively being disabled. Really makes you feel good!

The (third run of) comics make him gay which somehow makes him less of an ass. In the second run they just make him a villain and throw away all pretense which also somehow works better than his character in most of the show

The future of PokΓ©mon is in its past Our new PokΓ©mon column starts with a look at how older ideas could be revisited for new games.

The Future Of Pokemon Is In Its Past by @easbygames.bsky.social

"The Legends series is really what I want from mainline PokΓ©mon... introduce a new mechanic, keep that mechanic around and implement it alongside anything new that GameFreak decides to add."

I'm fine with Universes Beyond broadly but the *second* they even sniff at HP I'm done with getting any new Magic cards at all

For the record, anybody that tries to describe TOS is underselling how nuts it is. Amazing show, absolutely amazing, but at one point a character gets a head injury off-screen that makes him sexist for an episode

Once got flown out to Paris for 24 hours for a steering wheel peripheral. I'd assumed it was to have a hands-on experience with it.

I was wrong.

All I got to do was hold a prototype of the thing then that was it. Baffling use of my time

Breaks my heart to share this, but today is my last day at The Verge and I am looking for work! I'd really like to stay in video games, preferably in some kind of journalistic capacity but I can do PR/Marketing and maybe even a lil Narrative Design. Please get in touch!

Inverse's Gaming section is being shut down as the company "divests" from gaming content. I'm out of a job along with my wonderful co-writers. I've put my heart and soul into this job for four years. Gonna need to take time to process, but I'm now completely open for work - and boy do I need it.

Inverse has decided to "divest from gaming content" so I'm out of a job again!
This is almost certainly the end of my career in games media, and probably the end of my writing career. I'd love for that not to be the case, so I'd appreciate any leads but I'm honestly not hopeful for obvious reasonsβ™₯️
