Looking forward to welcoming George to my neck of the woods next month and having a good chat about his book!

I was so psyched to get to edit this one, first time working with Joshua since our Wild Wild Tech days! Great review too, he's a pro. Sorry to Splatoon Raiders but I'm glad to know not to bother with this one 🤷🏻‍♀️

heard a podcast mention the "looter shooter" and cannot help but imagine a world in which all video game genres must rhyme what kind of game is this? oh it's a "boring warring" game, a "survivor thriver", a "nation simulation"

Lads are your birthdays... different from ours?

A drop-down menu asks "Is this a Special Occasion?" Example answers include: Anniversary, Birthday, Engagement, but also Male Birthday

I knew I'd love The Séance of Blake Manor but I managed to hold off on starting it until I could play it with my Irish friend (who also loves a spooky mystery) and it was so worth it – she's sharing so much historical context AND she's better than me at the puzzles www.youtube.com/watch?v=QF8s...

hopefully I've got enough grey hairs by now that I wouldn't get called a teen like when we touched retro stuff on The Gadget Show

took me far too long to realise the American podcasters were talking about Cairn and not in fact a new video game called "Karen"

It's my birthday tomorrow! If you want to celebrate me by getting up at 4:30am to listen to my new documentary on the BBC World Service, I can't exactly stop you

something I am learning about live radio is: you always always have more to say than you ever have time to get to. if you didn't, it wouldn't be a good idea for a programme. this is probably also true more broadly of "all the interesting things one wants to do in life"

Is anyone keeping a list of all the new audience-supported video game journalism publications? I have been off Doing Other Things for a couple of years and it feels like I came back from uni to find my folks had moved house

hmm listening to a load of established games journos interviewing each other about their new worker-owned podcasts isn't helping me feel better about the idea of trying to re-enter games journalism, weird

Screenshot of text from linked article, which reads: "You might have noticed the sites in that last paragraph pay less than the mostly-American outlets we'd already covered. They're all British, where writers (across all media, not just games) are usually paid pretty poorly across the board, whether they're freelance or not."

I've half-joked before that people will get no work from me over 30 degrees, but my phone and laptop genuinely refusing to function in these temperatures might force the issue

glad that Woman's Hour is remembering games exist again, glad that pals are involved, but this framing was eye-rolling enough even before the last three years of mass layoffs in the video games industry www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m...

there's a lot about my life rn that my younger self would be delighted to know, but no small part of that is being paid to write about The Sims

the Switch 2 arrived last week and instead I've played 23 hours of Date Everything on the Steam Deck

A screenshot from the game Date Everything. A sitting room with a television. A femme character with light skin and dyed black and blonde hair, whose outfit looks as if it's made from game console parts. Text box shows their name to be Connie Soul. Text reads: I am Video Games!

I will admit to having breezed past Date Everything during Steam Next Fest, assuming it was jumping on some kind of bandwagon (Boyfriend Dungeon? Hatoful Boyfriend? I'm not really sure), but the latest ep of Triple Click has convinced me to take a closer look: maximumfun.org/episodes/tri...

I mentioned The Grannies on The Arts Hour (in a discussion about Grand Theft Hamlet: www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...) but I think the name of it got edited out??? So I'm glad other big institutions are doing the right thing!

Jerica Webber @jericawebber.com · 18/06/2025

As expected, this is great. I think what will stick with me most from the first ep is: having the resources (time, academic training to read the scientific literature, money to access it!) to make an informed decision about these things is a privilege. Thank goodness for people like Andy and Pete!

I am lazy and need suggestions for a streamlined read-it-later solution I got a Kobo e-reader in April, and that had Pocket integration! ...and then the next month Mozilla announced they were shutting down the whole service

I've come to really appreciate distinctive video game titles. "There Are No Ghosts at the Grand"? Good stuff.

the other night I legit dreamed that I was explaining to some people I looked up to where the hell I've Been Lately, so I wrote about it, possibly a waste of several hours but people are talking about game journalism so

A while ago, in a blissful moment of procrastination I dared ask "Why did Van Gogh become the poster child for immersive experiences in the 2010s?" Well, in order to answer this question we first need to go back 50 million years to when France was underwater www.goodafternoon.uk/news/immersi...
