I think it’s good not just to have many, many inspirations but not to value any of them above yourself. Even if you are just starting at something you have as much worth as an expert and putting them above yourself can be a form of self betrayal too.

And also, “i don’t believe that this person should be literally killed” is not the same position as “we should reward this person with status, visibility and money”

if you aren't already supporting @mothership.blog, you should be. support women and queer people in video game criticism and journalism. we deserve to exist in these spaces but, at least in the case of mothership, we can only exist and pay our writers and introduce you to new writers if YOU help us.

Geller’s influence on the upcoming generation of games writers cannot be overstated. In addition to the billion other ways in which this news is an unmitigated tragedy, an entire generation of writers has lost its center. I feel hollowed out.

Crucially, none of that work really involves bothering women and asking them what to do. Instead you take stock of your privilege and think “how can I upset the status quo in ways that others can’t? What discomfort can I risk for myself that would cost someone else more?”

@daytenrose.bsky.social writes beautifully, especially toward the end of this piece (and about the end of the game) about what the meaning of physical communication is for men who don't yap incessantly when they hang out. it's GOOD

"The error was the result of a technical issue on the author's part" is a big fucking signpost to me that says your outlet is enforcing AI slop extrusion in the course of your content mill operations. What fucking technical issue, Valnet? Did the writer forget how to make a sentence not defamatory?

One of the unique things about games writing specifically is that we all magpie mentorship from other disciplines (film reviews, video essays, lit fic) to make up for a lack of institutional knowledge

Maybe a hot take, but not liking ads or marketing speak is a bad reason to tune out the Keighleys. If even one earnest project gets to cut through the noise then I think we can all out on our big pants and watch some bad trailers

Just lost an hour installing and reinstalling Dark Souls 3 because Mod Engine completely bricks the launch file if the version isn’t compatible, and the only way to get rid of it is manually deleting all DS3 files from SteamApps There is no plight as great as the plight of the gamer

beast of reincarnation placates the player with a taxing. dopamine-driven power fantasy, forcing them to be oblivious to the climatic calamities and human digitization in their vicinity - reflecting our own human made cycles of erosion in the process. my review: www.theguardian.com/games/2026/a...
