If your romantic partner purposefully breaks your gaming equipment, that's abuse

this one is good!! reporter kevin cortez talked to the developers of A Short Hike, Tiny Bookshop, and Kabuto Park about how and why labor feels fun in their games, and the whole idea of chores being "cozy" www.mothership.blog/cozy-games-l...
Why do cozy games keep asking us to work, and why does it feel so good?
Developers of games like A Short Hike and Tiny Bookshop weigh in on why even labor feels nice in their games.

hire Robin!!!!!!!!!!
I’m an experienced game critic/journalist looking for work! I’d love to continue writing about games, but I’d happily consider PR, consulting, narrative, or non-gaming editorial work. I have experience hosting and producing podcasts, and I’m comfortable on mic and camera.

oh yeah? this is a PR crisis? the PR is cringe? that's what's going on here? the situation is that the PR is cringe? we're asking WTF they're doing (from a PR perspective) because so far it's been cringe? "what happened" is shaping up to be crisis-level cringe? i feel like my brain is on fire
“Straight cringe” and it’s about the state smearing a murdered person as a terrorist.
This woman is a parody of Beltway journalists.
