Need @guardianforeheads.bagpuss.org to weigh in here: is this too much? Too little? What's the line between forehead and head? Interesting

If it's anything beyond "Impact Factor" or some Web of Science score or whatever, I will be shocked.

I know these guys use an external data team (League of Scholars) so you could ask them but I also think all methods should be public all the same :)))))))

Interesting! And I don't put it on individuals either, but I am intrigued by what PR were doing a few years ago and what they were facilitating and what's changed now? A few years back what were freelancers and small sites getting that they no longer get?

Do PR come to freelancers with a proven track record, who land stories in mainstream outlets, covering this beat with experience and nuance? Telling stories? I certainly don't see that happening in Australia. Real lack of imagination about what games media is, or can be.

Hard to read the discourse and not think "we're fine with burning out our very good and valuable employees while making bad decisions to the detriment of their mental health" but I'm just a silly journo

"This was an unintended technical error that occurred during our transition to the new website"

Telepathy Tapes team didn't respond to me, but they did send out an email and restore everyone's access to the "library" -- which is a dropbox they updated with the most recent files about an hour ago.
