I actually really love finding out so getting to fuck around beforehand is just a bonus
Starting in just a bit! You can even check out our excellent "starting soon" video feat. a crustacean which @robinbombus.bsky.social put together (not me, I don't know how to do that stuff)

I'm going to be visiting friends in Los Angeles again in about a month. What's the latest thing with a terribly long line that's actually worth waiting for

I’m an experienced game critic/journalist looking for work! I’d love to continue writing about games, but I’d happily consider PR, consulting, narrative, or non-gaming editorial work. I have experience hosting and producing podcasts, and I’m comfortable on mic and camera.

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♥️

Really loved Marty Supreme but there was a prop that I'm so suspicious used AI generated art and unfortunately I can't get a screenshot of it but I would love to scrutinize that further. Specifically it was a standee of a cartoon version of Marty that showed up briefly in the table tennis hall (1/2)

Brothers Karamaov is REALLY moving after pg. 400. Also Part Four introduced an entirely new and different perspective character that I was ready to be so bored about and after only like five pages he is my precious son Kolya Krassotkin

News is so awful today and I was just looking to cope with a sweet treat but there's none really in the house so I've resorted to eating a few handfuls of white chocolate chips left over from my last bake because who cares. Who cares

Btw I'm about 300 pages into Brothers Karamazov and so far my only complaint is that I want more of the titular Brothers Karamazov and fewer non-Karamazov monks speechifying
Every winter break I take a big classic book I haven't read before and just dive in. Last year was The Age of Innocence, before that was Portrait of a Lady, this year it'll be Brothers Karamazov
