Lately my PS5 has been gathering dust and my Gameboy Color is getting all the attention.

We’re so back for 2026 gaming.

On this note, I do also share my work over on my art focused instagram account, and my resolution for 2026 is to do at least 3 drawings per month.

If you’re interested in tagging along, my account is linked below 😄

First drawing of 2026 complete, and obviously with the 30th Anniversary of Pokémon coming up next month, it inspired me. 👾

I just crushed Whitney and her cursed Miltank on Pokémon Crystal. Wonderful start to 2026. ✌🏽

Pro marketing tip for game devs going into 2026 —

Giving your agency or freelancer time is paramount to planning for success. Don’t start looking for one two weeks before your first activation — that’s incredible late.

(sorry for so many gaming media callouts recently, I promise all will become clear in 2026)

Hello 👋🏼

Are indie games your jam? Especially those that are a completely hand drawn, parry focused metroidvania with an adorable main character?

If so, let me know 👇🏼

Today is my last day at GLHF as Deputy Editor and it's been a wild ride over some four or five years.

I'm not really one for the freelance life but if you need an experienced games writer for reviews, mocks, or scorching hot takes, give me a shout while I figure my life out.

I don’t know… but maybe if you have a team of creative folks, engage their passion and skills for concept art and not use generative AI?

I realise I’ve been on an anti AI tangent these last few days but I really do think it sucks and zaps the joy out of creativity.

lmao finally someone is making a game "inspired by the joy of people watching"

- prototype went super viral on itch (100k players, 1k reviews)
- interact with things and make cute stuff happen
- see how tiny guys react
- hidden object game, full version coming to Steam
- Nippets

The amount of industry folks I see who just happily use AI in their content is so disappointing.

Surely destroying the environment for a shitty AI image for your LinkedIn post makes you feel totally embarrassed? And if it doesn’t, it absolutely should.

idk man, I think you also shouldn't WANT to play Hogwarts Legacy. Like, in the face of JKR's incredible bigotry and vitriol for trans people, their supporters, other queer groups, people who disagree with her

At what point does it become enough to overcome your nostalgia as a grown-ass adult???

Gosh. Video games are so cool.

Dont accept this- they still get money/reimbursed for the claims.
Meaning profits still go towards queen transphobe.
Hogwarts Legacy is free on Epic Games Store. Mystery game is the next title buff.ly/HE94Ti2
