New from me: I did a deep dive and spoke to Pokemon fan game creators for @fansplaining.bsky.social. This was so hard to source, but I am humbled by the sources who took the time to talk to me about this super massive, and relatively under-examined, fandom. fansplaining.com/pokemon-fang...

For fangame creators, the work they develop and the communities they inspire are inextricably tied.

I knew this industry had regressed into a rotten place over the past few years, but PR sending out an interview op with someone accused of abuse and pitching the interview around him telling "his story" might be my limit

Trails In The Sky 2nd Chapter is a triumph -- an incredible remake that follows up on 1st Chapter in scope and scale. I adore these characters, I adore this world. It's my current game of the year, and a truly special experience.

Building on the already-great remake of the first game, Trails in the Sky 2nd Chapter masterfully updates the gameplay and timeless story, adding up to what is now the Trails series’ defining entry, and one of the best RPGs of the year. Our review: gameinformer.com/review/trail...

I have never had my excitement for a game dry up as quickly as it did when a ProbablyMonsters dev said that Nekome: Nazi Hunter isn't political. It's a spineless choice - but hey - here is my interview:
