the thing about technological advancement isn't that It's All Bad it's just that the good stuff is *immediately* apparent but corps really want you to buy the bad stuff but you're not so it's all you ever really hear about as it gets marketed over and over

good stuff case in point:

The vibrant, spicy RPG Dosa Divas is more cooking rhythm game than not โ€“ and it's kicking my butt

I had the pleasure of chatting with Edmund McMillen (@edmundm.bsky.social), just days before the launch of his new game, about the uncomfortable silence that comes after shipping a game, the limits of being a parent, and why Mewgenics is such a personal work for him: remapradio.com/articles/edm...
Edmund McMillen Is Still Nervous About Releasing a Video Game
McMillen has had about as critically and commercially successful a career as one could hope for. Yet insecurities come back with each release.

Hey! I've got a piece up on @gamesradarplus.bsky.social about @square-enix-games.com's Dragon Quest VII Reimagined and how Clair Obscur didn't save turn-based RPGs because they didn't need saving in the first place.
In Clair Obscur's wake, Dragon Quest 7 finally has its chance to shine
Opinion | Once the black sheep of the Dragon Quest series, DQ7 is back to prove JRPGs never needed saving in the first place

you know what i have just one complaint about knight of the seven kingdoms and it's a simple one: the shitty mobile game ads on hbo max before and after
February 9, 2026 at 1:24 AM
that doesn't mean every little whim makes it through the gauntlet if you're on staff (otherwise i'd have written about pinball like twice this week) but it helps
February 7, 2026 at 4:49 PM
the economics of this, which i sometimes see freelancers question, is that yeah, staff writers get a *lot* of leeway most places because they're already being paid regardless

whereas every freelance budget line item must justify its existence
The best thing about a staff writer job IMO is that you get to write a bunch of little takes and opinion pieces. As a freelancer itโ€™s either like, thy donโ€™t have budget to pick this up, or you wait so long to hear back no one cares by that point

really good little history from Rollin of what seemed to be a setup for a triumphant retooling of the Cartoon Network originals label from the Dexterโ€™s Lab / Powerpuff Girls era - but itโ€™s been treated with less fanfare than weโ€™d hoped
