It really is annoying how some movement will make you feel better and distract you from, say, starting the discourse du jour

People keep saying the codenames in Metal Gear Solid sound like Megaman X bosses, so I decided to give them actual designs. Matches the scale of my other X mockups.
Something I've been sitting on for several years that I finally decided to wrap up tonight.

Also me: This reminder has no power over me, whoever set it up is a pathetic weakling I can easily overrule

I never really thought about Queen's Blood coming BACK and now I'm terrified
Little update on the next Final Fantasy VII game from Naoki Hamaguchi. Part 3 is in a playable state and is being polished. I talked to him a bit about the new version of Queen's Blood and how the sequel will handle the snowboarding minigame. www.polygon.com/final-fantas...
FF7 Remake Part 3 will feature 'enhanced' versions of beloved minigames
Get ready for a 'powered-up' Queen's Blood, says Naoki Hamaguchi

Watching Jujutsu Kaisen feels like being woken up by a demon that never stops explaining the rules of a board game you've never heard of

The way Exhuma's "plot" rolls out really does feel like digging up something evil boxd.it/cHa9PF
A ★★★★ review of Exhuma (2024)
A real ghost story. Every new chapter in Exhuma feels like digging out gnarled bones, gradually rising from their cursed burial to form a storyteller, long gone. The characters aren't as deep, but the...

I fortunately haven't seen any "3D platformers are dying / dead" claims lately, but just in case that claim's still lingering, here's a list of *some* of the 3D platformers that are (as far as I'm aware) currently slated to release in 2026.
Or already have, in the case of Big Hops.

Inverse has decided to "divest from gaming content" so I'm out of a job again!
This is almost certainly the end of my career in games media, and probably the end of my writing career. I'd love for that not to be the case, so I'd appreciate any leads but I'm honestly not hopeful for obvious reasons♥️

Breaks my heart to share this, but today is my last day at The Verge and I am looking for work! I'd really like to stay in video games, preferably in some kind of journalistic capacity but I can do PR/Marketing and maybe even a lil Narrative Design. Please get in touch!
