Sorry I know the world is in a terrible fix but I've been laughing at this for ten minutes now

I had a chance to check out the Mega Man Star Force Legacy Collection on Switch 2, Switch, Steam Deck, and ROG Ally for @rpgsite.net. I hadn't played these games before. My early impressions: www.rpgsite.net/feature/1976...

Saddened to announce I was affected by the recent Polygon layoffs. Though my time there was short, it was an incredible experience with a truly lovely bunch of people.

If you’re looking for a games/entertainment nerd for writing, presenting, PR, or any other opps, hit me up!

Today, as it turns out, was my last day at Polygon. I'm sure I'll have more to rattle on about later but I'm available.

Heartbroken to announce that I got hit by the layoffs at Polygon today. It was an honor to work with the amazing team there.

If you're looking for a games/entertainment writer with a deep knowledge of everything from live-service shooters to horror titles to delightfully weird FMV games, hit me up!

What do you mean a new English patch for Valkyria Chronicles 3 was released last week? How did I miss this?!

github.com/akorov/VC3Re...

This patch by DoomyDoom appears to retranslate the entire story from scratch and localizes content that was previously left untranslated in the old 2013 patch.

RE9 on switch 2, steam deck oled, iphone via xbox remote play (this doesn't work well because the console doesn't do it locally (amazing design btw)), and a PS portal (this works well) next to a cup of black coffee and a PS5 physical copy.

So I heard about this new game that came out today where you play as an FBI analyst and a special agent to fight off horrific monsters. I'm sure a couple of detectives I know would have their work cut out for them if put up against such evil residents.

If yall are playing RE9 on Switch 2, make sure to set the rumble setting to strong. Trust me.

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.

We cannot and should not let generative AI take away these tiny, insignificant, but probably fun as hell jobs from artists
