Surprise! I'm stoked to share that I'm writing this book. It's a dream to learn more about the game's development history from @wrongorgan.bsky.social themselves!

2026 is truly the time to pivot to robbing a millionaire instead, might be a more sustainable source of income than freelancing

Thanks for wrapping us up in a big indie media hug, @rascal.news! We had so much fun chatting with Chase and Caelynn from Rascal for 60 minutes and not a second more

Companies gutting gaming verticals, and assigning a single writer or possibly restarting them again years later, is wild, esp when most other entertainment verticals are still intact.

Wrote some small tributes for two treasured people
Last week many of us were devastated to learn about the tragic death of our dear and beloved friend Patrick Dane. Tributes poured in after the news broke, from friends and colleagues as well as his family. When I started in games media he was one of the first people to extend their friendship and as a young newcomer that kinship was invaluable. Pat's generosity with his time and energy was immense and special. He was there for me during a lot of my greatest struggles and the gratitude I feel for everything he did to help me during a dark time is matched now only by the grief of losing his light. He was a beacon, for all good people and all good things. It will be harder to find our way without him. His family have asked for support in dealing with the financial strain of an immensely difficult time and I would be grateful to everyone that could donate to help. Later that week, on the weekend just gone, I found out my papa had passed away. It's been hard to know what to say about such a monumental figure in my life. None of us are the sum of any one person's influence but few can claim to be more influential on me than my grandfather, Jim Cooper. The man helped raise me from the day I was born and so many of my most cherished childhood memories are with him. It was my papa who taught me how to ride a bike. To this day I cannot eat a tomato without always thinking they'll never taste sweeter than the ones he grew, which I never fail to mention to those with me. And while he showed me many classic films from his youth, there was no media more dear to him than Star Trek. Kirk and Spock were his guys. Growing up my mum used to conflate "Jim", captain of the USS Enterprise with her father "Jim" and that conflation inevitably passed to me. Which couldn't be a more fitting association for the man who fostered my own keen interest in the science fiction genre, always providing thoughtful suggestions for further reading based on whatever I was into at the time. Without my Papa Jim, there is no IT EATS PLANETS. He has boldly gone to that undiscovered country and will be missed dearly.

People are calling this post a godtier opener for 2026 because it captures the undeniable tension in the patriarchal institution of marriage in China. The post has got over 1.3M likes within a day, and has been censored and uncensored for over 5 times. As of now OP’s account has also been banned.

Hahahah so this post on Xiaohongshu has gone viral. Describing this guy and saying "What would I need to bring to the table for him to marry into my family?", waited for all the mens' opinions to build up and then revealed that the post was about herself and thanked them all for the compliments 😂
He has a permanent position at a Grade A Tertiary Hospital in the provincial capital. He doesn' t smoke or drink, and has almost no female friends in his social circle. He owns a car and plans to buy a house next year. His parents both have a pension of over 7,000 yuan a month. His friends also say he has a good temper. Edit 2: I wanted to see what kind of partner evaluation I'd get if I gender-swapped, everything mentioned above is about me. For the first time, I smiled my way through all the sarcastic and mean comments. It turns out with my qualifications, I can ask for so much. I used to think being on an equal footing would be enough, my sense of self-worth is still not as high as yours all. Thank you for all your blessings.

I reached out to more than three dozen X advertisers, xAI investors, politicians, and government agencies about the growing library of sexualized deepfakes generated with Grok—now including Renee Good. I only heard back from four, with three declining to comment.

This is a fun piece I did with @chasecarter.bsky.social and @caelyn.bsky.social - we talked about the two new videogames (!!!) Warlock and Exodus, and whether WoTC's plans to make a shit ton of $$$$$ via videogames are a short-sighted endeavor, inspired by the blinding success of Baldur's Gate 3

It's been 5 years since a group of alt-right revolutionaries attempted a violent coup on the United States government at the behest of Donald Trump.

A year ago I attended a gamified version of that terrible day for @rascal.news. Its terrifying to see how much has changed and how much hasn't.

This is the piece I've been waiting to publish :) The Kuei-jin has always been a weird, orientalist mess, but I find the concept of this clan so fascinating. Paradox is essentially pretending they don't exist anymore, so fans are writing books to redo the Kuei-jin - and the TTRPG system behind them
