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! www.ashparrish.com

Inverse's Gaming section is being shut down as the company "divests" from gaming content. I'm out of a job along with my wonderful co-writers. I've put my heart and soul into this job for four years. Gonna need to take time to process, but I'm now completely open for work - and boy do I need it.

I am so proud of FATAL FURY: City of the Wolves, SNK, and my PR team at TriplePoint. Also, lowkey Street Fighter cast should've presented the Best Fighting Game!

A few years in, a CDC drowning prevention program was ready to share its findings on how to mitigate the leading cause of death among young children. Then the administration terminated that staff.

According to Brown University’s Cost of War Project, “The war in Gaza has, since October 7, 2023, killed more journalists than the U.S. Civil War, World Wars I and II, the Korean War, the Vietnam War (including the conflicts in Cambodia and Laos), the wars in Yugoslavia in the 1990s and 2000s, and the post-9/11 war in Afghanistan, combined.”

I didn't realize this until my second watch of Superman: James Gunn sure loves projectiles you can control remotely. And I think he may be onto something, considering Mister Terrific and Yondu are my fav characters in Superman and GotG, respectively.

Like I said, let "libs" organize how they want — they got millions of people out on the streets yesterday. But a record-breaking protest is not a victory. It does NOTHING unless there is a plan to harness that energy for something more than donations to the same political class who got us here.

Has anybody else figured this out yet? If you stop in front of an NPC's car in Mario Kart World, you can make a traffic jam of up to 40 cars in a line before the NPCs abandon their stopping behavior and push forward through you. It took about 15 mins for them to pile up.

I'm glad folks are finally waking up that this ridiculous rhetoric is dangerous and I applaud the folks with visibility pushing back on it. Be honest. If we keep repeating it, the fat cats at the top will expect it and it leads to workers abuse and overscoping. www.pcgamer.com/gaming-indus...

I took a stab at a backlog title after work today and finally finished Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker. Great game, rough camera sometimes, hate the minecart levels, and LOVE how cheerful CT and Toadette are. Captain Toad 2 on Switch 2? I dare you, Nintendo.

When I left the Washington Post in 2023, my colleagues and I were worried AI would hoover up our work and enable "zombies" to churn out stories based on our reporting and writing styles. Today WaPo announced a partnership with OpenAI. And here it is: Zombie Gillian Brockell. I DID NOT WRITE THIS.
A screenshot of a ChatGPT conversation reading: "can you write something about robert e. lee in the voice of washington post staff writer gillian brockell?"
"Certainly! Here's an excerpt written in the voice of Gillian Brockell, a staff writer at The Washington Post, reflecting on Robert E. Lee's legacy: 

The Complicated Legacy of Robert E. Lee: A Figure Divided by History
By Gillian Brockell 
When Robert E. Lee's name is invoked, it is often as a symbol of Southern pride military brilliance, or a tragic, doomed cause. But history has a way of shifting its lens, and in recent years, the image of Lee -- the Confederate general, the hero of lost causes -- has become increasingly more fraught. The man who stood as the face of a rebellion that tore the nation apart now stands at the center of an ongoing reckoning over the Confederacy's legacy, and our struggle to reconcile memory with reality."
