hmm listening to a load of established games journos interviewing each other about their new worker-owned podcasts isn't helping me feel better about the idea of trying to re-enter games journalism, weird

no I haven't played Hollow Knight, I'm busy with Clues by Sam

This was inevitable.

Waypoint 2.0's ordeal is the story of games media in 2025:

I've half-joked before that people will get no work from me over 30 degrees, but my phone and laptop genuinely refusing to function in these temperatures might force the issue

glad that Woman's Hour is remembering games exist again, glad that pals are involved, but

this framing was eye-rolling enough even before the last three years of mass layoffs in the video games industry

Call for a voice actor!

We’re looking to cast a female actress for our next game. Vocal age 25-35, Northern England accent, preferably Mancunian, incl. Pakistani and Indian Mancunian accents.

That’s you? Then send a sample to info@inklestudios.com, marked “casting call”.

Paid gig, ofc

<3 RTs!

there's a lot about my life rn that my younger self would be delighted to know, but no small part of that is being paid to write about The Sims

the Switch 2 arrived last week and instead I've played 23 hours of Date Everything on the Steam Deck

I will admit to having breezed past Date Everything during Steam Next Fest, assuming it was jumping on some kind of bandwagon (Boyfriend Dungeon? Hatoful Boyfriend? I'm not really sure), but the latest ep of Triple Click has convinced me to take a closer look: maximumfun.org/episodes/tri...

I mentioned The Grannies on The Arts Hour (in a discussion about Grand Theft Hamlet: www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...) but I think the name of it got edited out??? So I'm glad other big institutions are doing the right thing!

As expected, this is great. I think what will stick with me most from the first ep is: having the resources (time, academic training to read the scientific literature, money to access it!) to make an informed decision about these things is a privilege. Thank goodness for people like Andy and Pete!

I am lazy and need suggestions for a streamlined read-it-later solution

I got a Kobo e-reader in April, and that had Pocket integration! ...and then the next month Mozilla announced they were shutting down the whole service

I've scrolled through the whole(?) list of Steam Next Fest demos - there's a LOT of games on there but ignoring the sex and horror helped me narrow it down

I've come to really appreciate distinctive video game titles. "There Are No Ghosts at the Grand"? Good stuff.

the other night I legit dreamed that I was explaining to some people I looked up to where the hell I've Been Lately, so I wrote about it, possibly a waste of several hours but people are talking about game journalism so

A while ago, in a blissful moment of procrastination I dared ask

"Why did Van Gogh become the poster child for immersive experiences in the 2010s?"

Well, in order to answer this question we first need to go back 50 million years to when France was underwater
