Genuinely one of the coolest moments of my career: unveiling the Slayeux Tapestry for DOOM: The Dark Ages, inspired by arguably one of the most famous medieval artworks, The Bayeux Tapestry. The original took a hundred years to make – ours was, fortunately, significantly quicker!

Undeniably brave to quit your job in this games industry economy. It was the right thing to do but also, I can't imagine how difficult it was to publish that story. Good work, I hope the new site thrives.
Update: The entire editorial staff of God Is A Geek have quit, saying they "cannot continue to say nothing" about the site's founder, that they don't support his "politics or actions", and that they will form a new site.
A notable game site has denied its founder has "day to day" involvement after he imitated "a gesture that many have interpreted as a pro-Nazi salute”.

2024 has been A Year, and this wasn’t as “fun” to write as most lists, but I wanted to give a nod to some of the fab studios that we lost this year. I hope all the devs land on their feet and have a much better 2025 💜

Isn’t it super funny that the ‘I want realism in games’ crowd are also the ‘wait what do you mean the woman alone on a space ship isn’t catering to the male gaze while she does a dangerous and adventurous job where long hair would clearly be a hinderance’ crowd.

I’ve never seen such a big conversation of followers from one platform to another.
I now have 1k followers on Bluesky, and 200-300 appearing just in the last week.
I’ve caught myself opening the app just to scroll without purpose or fear. It’s lovely. It’s weird to be reminded of the old Twitter
