Why I’m launching a feminist video games website in 2026
I’ve been a games journalist since 2007, but still there isn’t much video games coverage that feels like it’s specifically for people like me. So I’m creating a home for it: Mothership

Hoping to see Larian backtrack on their decision to use generative AI at any stage in their development process. If they would fire a writer for plagiarism or turn down funds from an investor who admits to stealing the money - then genAI should have no place in their workplace.

Epic pays for licensing fees for the games they give away for free as promotions. Which means even if YOU aren't paying for it, you're giving money to JK Rowling to harm transgender people AND elevating her stature by giving her franchise higher numbers.

I really loved Legends: Z-A for not only its great real-time battle system, but because it finally admits that the Pokémon universe might be fundamentally broken and it doesn't know how to fix it. But the people of Lumiose City will keep trying to find out, and that's what matters.
