Poppy is involved in all things cool, as usual youtu.be/vtw5BDpKgJM?...
I'd prefer no mid-season tuning (excepting bugs), but regardless, all very exciting.
I'm still working on the first miniboss
Honestly yeah
My first guide for @rockpapershotgun.bsky.social is live www.rockpapershotgun.com/marathon-inc... Really happy to be doing some work for these guys and to be back into games coverage again. Lots more to come for Marathon!
From everything I still see today, nothing has changed. There are rare exceptions, of course, and I commend them.
The strangest aspect of games journalism to me is how many 'journalists' refuse to contact anyone about anything. I still remember years ago when a PR person tore into a bunch of us — myself excepted — for not contacting her to get her company's side of a story, which she was very right to do.

Lynch described it as a Mobius strip
Watching 'Send Help' the day before a job interview was not a great idea.
Due to federal budget cuts, Friday marked my last day as a reporter at my local paper. I learned a ton from the job, and it was a privilege to serve the public, but now I'm back on the hunt for work — in journalism, communications, games media/journalism/PR, and... games production!
That or the opposite where they hype the shit out of it and it does nothing for me
Those were the days
we said all along that they wanted Gawker dead not because we embarrassed a pro wrestler but because the Epstein story is one Gawker was covering a decade before most other people caught up & was just one of many stories exposing powerful people and their misdeeds
Poor bastards
Then he'll fit right in
Fair
You can get a test ISO up and running in about 10 minutes fwiw
