Trump tries to build a fake wall of inevitability around everything he does.

Today, voters - literally from sea to shining sea - broke through all that, and this is just the beginning.

So, today I'm announcing a new book project... and doing a call for papers: crpgbook.wordpress.com/2025/10/31/t...

It's an anthology of video game history outside the usual US perspective - an accessible & exciting panorama of different realities - and I'll pay 300 USD per article.

Please share :)
The Video Game History Expansion Pack – Pitch your story
Today I’m putting my money where my mouth is and launching a new project — a book focused on game history outside of the usual North American perspectives.

Have an opportunity (with $$) for the right variety creators.

HMU via DM if that's you, and if y'all could share with any other creators you think might be interested that'd be much appreciated!

America is being run by people whose social media presence would see them getting fired from a part time job stacking shelves.
If you worked at Aldi and posted a video of you pouring shit all over Aldi customers, you wouldn't work at Aldi.

I’m very proud of my American friends today. Keep up the good fight. #NoKings 🇺🇸

My PAXAUS weekend is over now. 😴 But what a huge couple of days. Tons of filming, so many great D&Ms with brilliant devs, and catch ups with my favourite folks. Big thanks to the people who came up to say hello, too! It was such fun. It all wrapped up with a big dinner tonight. Awesome weekend. ❤️

I’ve left MIGW but I just want to say to those still walking PAX to please stroll through the area with those blue Screen NSW banners and check out some amazing NSW games you have never seen before

Getting those games there was immensely difficult and it’d mean a lot to me if you met the devs

What a great first day of PAX. I am so pleased to have caught up with so many lovely folks (and met some of you for the first time in person). This is always the best part of these events.

Did you know that the first day of PAX is also World Mental Health Day? In this interview we talk about bipolar disorder stigma, the duality of werewolves and the importance of short games for those who get easily addicted: www.sifter.com.au/post/the-las...

That’s it. Yep.
OBAMA: It's fair to say that 80% of the world's problems involve old men hanging on who are afraid of death and insignificance, and they won't let go. They build pyramids, and they put their names on everything. They get very anxious about it.
