Thank you everyone for pointing me to folks who do website design (or for reaching out). I've settled on a designer and am hoping to get the new site up by the new year. MEOW

I wonder if companies have figured out yet that all of that (post)gamergate bullshit is just a bunch of people trying to monetize anger.

"While End of Abyss’ creature design is the first thing likely to sink its hooks into your imagination, I found the compound’s brutalist architecture to be the game’s most effective atmospheric tool."

After 5+ amazing years, my role at Ninja Theory is at risk of redundancy and I'm therefore looking for new opportunities.

The idea that any sort of chart can track actual music consumption is hilarious.

I’m still recovering from the knowledge that it’s impossible to sink more than waist level in quicksand. A lifetime of lies.

MobyGames is keeping track of when companies hire and fire employees. "One of the big things that people are looking for in the games space in the future is a little bit more stability, and keeping people accountable goes hand in hand with that." bit.ly/4AzIMiE

Happy Stanislav Petrov day! He saved the world from nuclear annihilation on this day in 1983. My freshman year in college would have been so much worse without his courage.🧵

Journalism prediction: Eventually most if not all of the most talented specialist reporters will leave to start their own thing alone or with others. That will lead to those sites building up large audiences and eventually trad media buying and bundling them.

So I need to hire someone to redesign my site and make it more about my company and less about my work. Any strong suggestions for an indie web designer who doesn't charge a lot?

You know what would be great? A big gaming expo open to the public with all of the proceeds going to a fund to support all of those laid off from the game industry. I'd love a hang to help those who deserve and need it.

In reading, and feeling crestfallen, over everything happening at Xbox and those affected, I suddenly realized that I never did write my State of Decay 3 preview from Gamescom. What reminded me? Undead Labs announcing it had gone indie. And on a day full of shitty news, God bless them.

State of Decay 3 is building a deeper survival community, one now free from Xbox

Everything I saw of State of Decay 3 at Gamescom looked encouraging and that was before Undead Labs' ownership situation had changed.
