New Research Proves What We Already Knew: Women Are Underserved By Game Industry Women make up 48% of gamers, but their reasons for spending less time and money on gaming differ greatly from those of male players.

If Leon Kennedy Isn't Hot Enough, Resident Evil Requiem Mods Are Here For Your Particular Kink Ever wished Leon looked more like Burt Reynolds? Modders have you covered.

Good afternoon, you degens. (I say, as if I am not also a degenerate Leon-loving weirdo.) 👨💖

I'm still looking for additional contributor opps + full-time positions, so *please* don't hesitate to hmu if you see something that might be a good fit! I've been considering pivoting to PR for a while—at the end of the day, I just want to share my love of games with the world. 🎮❤️‍🩹

With A Week Left To Live, Highguard Releases A Season's Worth Of Updates Account progression, a skill tree, and a new playable Warden are all hitting Highguard today.

If y'all thought me getting laid off would result in me taking a single day off from writing about video games, I have news for you! Happy to report I am back to freelancing with the wonderful team at GameSpot, to whom I already owe so much.

🥹 Thank you so much.

The good news is that I am too stubborn and chronically online to shut up about games literally ever. No one can stop me! 😅

It happens 💜

Heartbroken to announce that I got hit by the layoffs at Polygon today. It was an honor to work with the amazing team there.

If you're looking for a games/entertainment writer with a deep knowledge of everything from live-service shooters to horror titles to delightfully weird FMV games, hit me up!

I feel like younger people don't realize that the internet wasn't always optimized solely to make you as angry and miserable as possible, and people are having a lot of nostalgia for 2000s internet vibes now because it wasn't like that back then

The second you leave this country for even a few days, you realize the place you call home is decaying at an almost exponential pace. The realization that you don't have to live like this is stark, and that nobody in power is taking tangible actions to fix it in your lifetime is even starker.

Listen that vacuum was batting his eyes at me okay

(So glad you enjoyed!)

Going through a breakup? Try these games to ease the pain Breakups are never easy, but sometimes a good distraction can help.

The last line of this article by @beautybot.bsky.social made me fist pump into the air. Good stuff. www.polygon.com/best-breakup...

Hahaha yeah, mine is a "stab first and ask questions later" kind of guy whereas I'm a "slowly explore every inch of everything and talk my out of trouble" gal.

Honestly, the resulting chaos has been delightful and we've both gotten to see parts of the game we otherwise never would have.

Glad you enjoyed! You'll be happy to know that about a year-and-a-half after reacquiring my PlayStation, I also acquired a wonderful person who likes to play Baldur's Gate co-op with me on said PlayStation. 💜

First-person combat feels super weird for a SH game but I'm sure it'll grow on me. The rest looks phenomenal though. Can't wait to get my hands on it.

My god I thought it was just me

I am extremely hyped but also not sure how I feel about first-person combat. I like seeing my protagonist run around in the fog!

Fallout Season 2 convinced me that Lucy and The Ghoul belong together Maximus is a nice dude, but Lucy and The Ghoul were made for each other

I said what I said. 💀💘

Last night I had a dream where my teeth were falling out and also I was naked in school and also I couldn’t find my classroom and that meant I wasn’t gonna be able to graduate and also the police were after me and man that was a nice break from everything

Not a single day goes by without me thinking about how incredibly lucky I am to have the coolest job in the world, working with the coolest people in the world, and covering my favorite games in the world. 💜🎮🔫

I think this is the first time my body has truly relaxed in like... I don't even remember. So grateful to get a break from the absolute shitshow that is my home country.

Also it looks like there's a daedric shrine outside my hotel room.

He gets SO many phenomenal "frustrated asshole who is smarter than everyone" dialogue options in this game, the writing is *chef's kiss* and Dankovsky is at his absolutely prickliest in P3. I love it but I'm also a pussy so I mostly make him be nice to people lmao.

No pressure or anything but go play Pathologic 3 right now or we can't be friends anymore. 🥀🐂🩸

Alien: Isolation's Xenomorph doesn’t need to resort to try-hard jumpscares The Xeno's entrance is understated, making it all the more terrifying

For me, the Xenomorph's introduction in Alien: Isolation is right up there with the zombie reveal cutscene in the original Resident Evil. Utterly terrifying. Really hope they keep this energy going in the sequel.
