Games I'm playing this weekend, what are you playing?

Happy Friday, everyone. It's been a heck of a 3 months so far in gaming. There's so many awesome games, several I need to get to this weekend to review.

But I've been getting back to the gym 4 times a week for 3 weeks, and it helps me feel a lot better during the day, instead of being tired a lot.

I have it most days. It can be hard to shake sometimes. But I've learned the best way to fight it is to keep doing what we do.

@sorawolfkiba.bsky.social happy birthday! Hope you have a wonderful day

Design Better Games (ft. Cara Ellison) | Little Victories by AndresPlays YouTube video by AndresPlays

Most gaming YouTube content that does numbers is either nostalgia, clickbait or drama, so I'm really glad to say that my latest Little Victories podcast about game development and narrative design is doing well.

It's a great listen if I do say so myself.

At least Kirby's DLC was sort of worth the $20 up charge. This feels more like the Mario Party one which was certainly not worth it.

I am very happy for the Switch 2 and Xbox only gamers that are getting to experience Final Fantasy VII Remake for the first time this week. It's still one of my favorite ever gaming experiences, and I hope everyone gets to have that same joy, too. #FinalFantasy #Gaming

Happy birthday!

I was once detained in one of those small white rooms by an immigration officer in the US. It was a humiliating experience that robbed me of my humanity.

The fact people are dying in these detention centers is harrowing.

ABOLISH ICE.

I want to grow the Gaming community on Bluesky more.

On Twitter (pre-Elon) we had a prominent group of Retro Gaming creators and we all hyped/built each other up.

I'm thinking of how to help build that better HERE so other Gaming creators can grow and have their content represented more.

Cassette Boy Review: Keeping It in Perspective | The Outerhaven Blending of genres has been around a long time in video games, but it feels as though this current generation has taken that to another level. Especially with the proliferation of indie titles that mi...

An adventure puzzle game that will have you thinking about keeping it all out of the camera's perspective. Here's my latest review for @theouterhaven.net for Cassette Boy: www.theouterhaven.net/cassette-boy...

I feel terrible for Broncos fans. You win a fantastic overtime game only to have it feel like defeat with the Bo Nix news.

Big Hops Is A Better 3D Platformer Than Mario YouTube video by AndresPlays

Here is my first video review of the year: Big Hops!

PR people following me, my email access was immediately revoked at Inverse, if we were in the midst of talking about or working on something I'm super sorry. I'm gonna reach out to people I need to, but anyone can reach me at madsenhayes@gmail.com, for the time being.

Hayes is one of the best and hardest working journalists out there. He does such great work, and I hope any editor out there that has work or spot available is reaching out right now.

Reminder that video game journalism cannot exist without functioning newsrooms that have the capacity to mentor and train new talent and the bandwidth to pursue long-form investigative pieces and break news—all while paying writers a living wage.

OMG too cute!
