Just got an email letting me know I’ll be laid off on Friday—my second time in 15 months. So here’s my regular reminder that I’m available for freelance video-game consulting, mock reviews, public relations, comms writing, feature writing, and so on.
I don't often find myself disagreeing with you, guess it had to happen at least once. Mortal Kombat 2021 had some high points but overall that movie was donkey bollocks.
It is increasingly difficult to be positive and productive while Rome burns.
Here's me, and @boganintel.bsky.social. "Collating the recent escalation of fascist state fuckery in Australia"
As of tonight, licenses of trans people across Kansas are being invalidated en masse, enabling the overnight criminalization of an entire group of people for going about our lives. It’s often said you never know when you’re living through history, so let me assure you: that’s what’s happening now.
The Board of Peace event played a truly wild video by FIFA advertising a plan to build football infrastructure in Palestine. The video is clearly AI generated because they mis-spelled "Peace" with what I believe is a fully new letter combining "Y" and "L," neither of which appear in the word "Peace"
Some pretty wild music choices at the Board of Peace meeting
are there any tech and/or culture journalists that are interested in the vtubing and virtual idol space that are located in LA? if so please dm or email me. would love to get in touch concerning an upcoming event.
that's better
To slightly spoil Kinda Anime this Friday, it’s insane to me that people try and convince themselves that One Piece is not political
Today, while driving my wife to work, I ended staring at her face because she's so beautiful. And then almost rear ended the Polo in front of me.
hi! i'm co-founding a new gaming website with my former polygon colleague @zoehhannah.com. it's called mothership.blog. i made it for someone like me... the kind of website i always wished we had in our space. watch the video to learn more :D
I scrolled through a week of Musk's X feed. I needed to find a specific post for work. I thought it would just be irritating.
I have seen reams of the nastiest, most spiteful, most dishonest, upsetting bullshit. I'm left feeling this deep sense of horror. I feel like crying.
Like most normal people, I have never listened to a full Trump speech because he's so incoherent, rude and disgusting; but it's only because of @michaelspicer.bsky.social that I see the extent of how incoherent and bizarre Trump is. That McDonald's speech, makes absolutely no sense.
Larian Studios Leaning Into Generative AI Despite Internal Pushback: ‘Everyone At The Company Is More Or Less OK With The Way We’re Using It’
Hey Larian devs: if you all say, "NO WE'RE NOT" at the same time, he can't fire all of you.
george w. bush, in my opinion, is never getting enough heat for the damage he's done to this country, to the world, to my mental health, to education, to grammar, to texas, to shoes as a useful weapon, to reading as a hobby, to the honor of C- students, to painting as a concept, to
Again I say: how fucking interesting that remote work technology is bad and not worth adopting despite all research pointing to productivity gains, but genAI which offers NOTHING is so important to adopt and force on people who have no use for it despite all the horrible things genAI does
See what my friends are doing. @thatnomadshad.bsky.social

For every good and/or revolutionary Call of Duty game released, it's followed by a year or two of lacklustre entries.
Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 is one of the latter.
Here's our Blops7 review, covering all game modes.

Listening to latest Triple Click Podcast (pca.st/podcast/d7e7...) and pleasantly surprised to hear @midimyers.com talk about Thabo Bester. Always cool to hear South African stories... Even if it's about prison break\con artist\murder guy. Thanks Maddy😄
I cannot get over US Republicans / Fox News losing their minds over an escalator.
A former DOJ staffer said the department is “broken.”

I tell people my favorite song is Time After Time but my real favorite song is The Wii Shop Channel theme.
You can hear this tweet.
Errr
When I get review code, unless explicitly allowed by the publisher, I don't even mention I'm reviewing a game. When one person screws up, us freelancers are the ones who lose out the most because publishers/PR people get jittery. For the love of god, just keep mum until publication.
It's almost like constantly firing and ending careers of talented critics, who are thus unable to foster longterm collegiality, mentorship and support, leads to bad situations that could undermine the entire industry?? But I'm not a smart business genius suit man, so what do I know?
I watched the first episode last night and I loved it.
