We’re launching a zine about games and play called GUTSPILL!

A place to shamelessly gush about play experiences that embed themselves in our hearts and brains and GUTS! No industry talk, no metrics ~ just SPILL!

#1 features words by me and the Jameseses: @jickle.net + @omgmorejames.bsky.social

So many awesome stories here with incredible depth/variety. Aside from being fun to work on, @superjumpmagazine.com has felt like a refuge for my mental health given all the madness happening in the world at the moment. Emphasising love, tolerance, and human creativity is my theme of 2026.
Whether it's Tomy's forgotten handheld console, an analysis of gamers based on their birth year, or simply resolving to be more intentional about fun in 2026...you'll find it in this edition of SUPERJUMP Monthly.

Keep up the good fight, American friends. I know you can throw this horror off your backs; the widespread protests and strikes give me faith that you'll pull through.

Super excited to share this interview I did with Bennett Foddy! In the full length episode we talk about misconceptions, the aussie games industry and the time someone threw a controller at a Getting Over It museum exhibit 🫣🎮
If you scratch the surface you'll find much more than just ragebait in @foddy.net 's work. Ahead of a chat at ACMI @nomibelle.bsky.social spoke to Bennett for Lightmap our interview podcast. www.sifter.com.au/post/taking-...

Just finished Metroid Prime Remastered today. Now I am kicking off Metroid Zero Mission on Analogue Pocket. Never played it before. But after only 15-20 minutes, I’m hooked. it looks, sounds, and plays beautifully.
