throw tech journalism in the river, and if it tries to climb back out, shoot it
one of the biggest problems we've faced since launching is that while it was very easy to establish ourselves here (games media sickos on bluesky), getting people outside of here to know who we are has been TOUGH. Stuff like this really helps!
Our tiny little website currently has the 4th-placed story on r/all, which is doing all kinds of weird and beautiful things to our monthly traffic (which doesn't normally operate at anywhere near that scale)
Amazing work from @nicolecarpenter.bsky.social, as always!

i know, and its bullshit
spurs in the championship next season
my knees every friday morning after five-a-side on thu night
not that specific but still my favourite entry in the wider genre
netflix: what are you gonna do, cancel your subscription?
me:
thats all ANY of you need or are here for.
so the fact the people actually building and running this site are such fucking weirdos is just so bleak. like we, normal humans who just wanna hang out, can't even have THIS
i love this website because i work alone on the other side of the world and its got the same strengths old twitter had (meeting and hanging out with peers id otherwise never get the chance to speak to) with almost none of the same weaknesses (nazis).
thats all i want and all i need!
this really feels like the last days of social media, because if/when this place goes to hell I don't have another jump left in me.
also: the idea of people getting excited about tidbits of new video game console news in 2026 is insane to me. this isn't 2005. everything coming down the pipe now is a horror you just dont know the shape of yet.
"itll play PC games" means nothing given who is saying it and how little else we know
friends: what are you doing this saturday
me:
throw VAR in the bin
met a cool lizard yesterday
BREAKING: Iranian artists TRICKED US-Israeli joint forces with "paintings on the ground." Experts believe that the recently contracted OpenAl-driven weapon technologies have "wasted millions of dollars" worth of missiles.
Art really scored one against AI here.
the fear: american men are falling for this clear AI scam
the reality: vai corinthians
also i agree this is stupid, but you cant say the account has "nearly a million instagram followers" and expect it to mean something when every reply looks like this
lmao
look at this banh mi
same, i simply don't trust the polite robots
hi if you work in indie games PR and you have a website's main email in your contacts as well as its individual writers, please dont send emails to both, you're only making an unmanageable deluge worse
I understand it, even if I do not enjoy it
DO YOU
it's kinda all over the city now, but yeah still heaps of it taking place at the belco skate park! circle it in the calendar for next year!
