I was interviewed for this article in Wired about how the far right is using and abusing LOTR in their social posts to gain support for their bullshit:
Musk and the DHS have used “The Lord of the Rings” references to push anti-immigration messaging, seemingly positioning themselves as underdogs to justify oppression. www.wired.com/story/elon-m...

For the past decade, I've been slowly cooking a small and humble book.
Part (alternative) history, part analysis, and part social critique, this is a look at what games also are and have always been.

objects don't enlarge and float to the center of the screen and rotate after you pick them up like they used to in games. we can trace all of the industry's ills to this

Replayed a few games I’d tried as demos in past years at Spiel.
This one was in an early stage last year, and I couldn’t find any info online after, but it was back (the devs even remembered my group 🥺) and now has a Gamefound page. Follow if you love complex, limited-communication co-ops like I do

The thing that makes Star Trek utopian isn’t the end of scarcity or the harmony between all peoples it’s also that the guy on the ship who gets laid the most plays the trombone at work and periodically does community theater

When I see men in games reminisce fondly of the “golden age” of game magazines I just think of shit like this and remember that game magazines actively put me off playing videogames as a kid.
I sometimes read old gaming magazines and stumbled upon this "babe of the year" section from Playstation: The Official Magazine.
If I was the editor I would have gently suggested this writer be put down like a rabid dog
