Say whatever you want about today’s situation…
Games Journalism is being eroded at all sides, by the blurred lines between journalist and influencers, the lack of training for newer folk (myself included), the veterans being driven out, and most of all, the corporatisation of our medium.

Wow! Now all the world’s problems are solved, right?

I’ve seen game reviews, articles, and now someone close to me writing a Facebook post for their loved one using it.
Do you not have a brain????? Please, better yourself.

For anyone who was a fan of Öoo, that fantastic single-mechanic puzzle game that released earlier this year, you should absolutely check out MotionRec!
Played through the game myself last night and am now watching my 8yo figure it out. Purely magical!

As a man of… more generous bodily proportions, I so wish I had the confidence to do bouldering or beginner gymnastics.
Is there a “I want to lose weight and have never done any form of exercise outside of walking” beginner adult class?
