This interview with @mckkirk.bsky.social was originally on Sports Illustrated back in 2023 before they killed their games website - glad to see it back online!

It’s bullshit that you were (quite obviously) blocked from putting this on the website. Lovely send off though, man.

It was tough at first, but it’s just part of ageing. There are upsides to it as well.

Resident Evil Requiem review -- Nail-biting horror and action By switching back and forth between characters, Resident Evil Requiem mixes nerve-fraying horror with some of the most intense action sequences in games.

Resident Evil Requiem is good. www.espn.co.uk/gaming/story...

I’m glad Animal Kingdom is on Netflix now. I’ve never met anyone who’s watched it, but it’s brilliant telly. One of the best evil matriarchs in media.

My next project is getting closer to being announced. If you’re interested in joining the private playtest for it, I will be having members of my Discord playtest it before everyone else.

If you like 1980s horror or synthwave music like Carpenter Brut, you will probably like it!

Surprised how much crossover there is with this and Baby Steps mechanically and thematically. Both excellent games (play Baby Steps).

a resurfaced twitter screenshot from 2020 where elon musk replies to me 'to the best our knowledge, he never toured SpaceX. Don't know where that comes from'. another user has superimposed this reply on a screenshot of a 2013 email from Jeffrey Epstein to Elon that says 'thanks for the tour, you would have had fun at xmas'

ok wow. in 2020, as a former tech journalist, i had a large twitter account, so i asked elon musk to comment on why he had been photographed with ghislaine maxwell and whether the rumors jeffrey epstein had toured space x were true

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!
