I want to keep pouring hours into World of Warcraft: Forever (I’ve been exploring tons while my little one is asleep), but I also worry I’m going to burn out before the full launch. (For the Alliance btw)

The excitement is so real. One of the best RPGs out there. Thank you @cdprojektred.com ♥️ Cannot wait to play endless rounds Gwent yet again. 🃏

Is this going to help me survive my trip to St. Amelia in Silent Hill: Townfall later on this week?🤫📺♥️

Happy Silent Hill: Townfall and CONTROL Resonant release week. 🎮♥️ My time for gaming is non existent these days, but I’m hoping to play at least one of these two..eventually.

I had the best first birthday as a mum, and I got caterpillar cakes. A truly wonderful day spent with my family. 🐛🧡

It’s honestly such a dream! The graphical enhancements are stunning 😭

Forever is vanilla WoW with extra goodies thrown in, like new quests/zones and the Skyborne race. The level cap is 60 and it’s as if The Burning Crusade expansion never took place and the Dark Portal never opened. Pretty much WoW vanilla built upon much further ✨

Happy early birthday! 🎂

World of Warcraft: Forever is simply perfection. The nostalgic hold it has on me.. I feel like I’ve teleported back to 2005 when I first started playing. Azeroth will forever feel like home and I can’t wait to relive memories and make brand new ones. ♥️ (Also Alliance ftw) 🦁

Welp. Starting in November, I will no longer be employed by IGN. It's been a hell of a ride and I cannot understate how much of an honor and a privilege the last 11+ years have been. This was a dream job, but the best part of IGN is, was, and always will be the people.

My copy of Wolverine just arrived. I personally cannot wait to follow the fart trail.

My little one is turning 2 months tomorrow & although the nights have been long & the lack of sleep has been brutal as me and my husband learnt to navigate this new life path, he smiled at me today for the first time & it was all absolutely worth it. I’d do it all again 100%.

World of Warcraft Eclipse, Kingdom Hearts 4 AND Fable all in 2027? I’m about to have the absolute best time. 🤓

You have no idea how hyped I am for this. 🐼

Jess @jessthomas.bsky.social · 12/09/2026

It’s my birthday next Saturday, so I think you all should play the entirety of the Kingdom Hearts franchise as a gift for me. 🎁

Speaking of little one, we had the best day today. We went out for a walk with the dogs, we fed the ducks, and we went shopping for cute pumpkins and halloween stuff. ✨🎃

When my little one is my age, The Legend Of Zelda franchise will be 70+ years old. Sickening.

I genuinely giggled to myself typing this stupid post. Can you tell I’m sleep deprived in the newborn trenches currently??

The Blood Of Dawnwalker is bloody (haha) good innit? I’ve had the best time sinking my teeth (hehe) into it, and I can’t wait to draw more (tehe) fun from it.

hey so the gen-AI controversy isn’t something people are willing to put ‘aside’, even for something that’s an ‘absolute blast’ 🤡

I am ashamed to have written about this game, now knowing who runs the studio for this game. I will not be buying this game or supporting it in any way. It's a cool game idea, but staying true to my principles of supporting trans rights is much cooler.

Jess @jessthomas.bsky.social · 04/09/2026

Very *very* important coverage here from Lex & I implore you all to read this article. As a PR person myself I’m baffled at the lack of due diligence from the PR team representing this game, & I hope there’s at the very least some acknowledgment and accountability taken by them/the internal team.

I also NEED people to understand how talking to the press works.

Something I need to make clear here: if you are talking to journalists during a preview, that is on the record. We do not need to establish that we are on the record; by talking to us at a press event, you are on the record. Saying “that was off the record” after taking a poke at a former employee like Bonde did early on in the demo does not mean that I cannot quote that he described 1001 Threads of Mizan as payback for a cancelled Prince of Persia game he worked on at Ubisoft.

My first piece for @kotaku.com sees me document the rather surreal experience of demoing a game funded by a government that would have me executed for being trans. kotaku.com/the-1001-thr...

"Indies will save us" No! YOU WILL SAVE INDIES! Go leave a review for that neat indie game you like, share the trailer for an upcoming game you're anticipating, tell your fave developer they did a good job, go tell people about such and such game that's just come out, you can make a difference!

Love to see The Blood Of Dawnwalker being deemed as the best vampire RPG, and I’m very excited to dive into the world, but let’s not forget Vampyr exists and is a bloody (pun intended) excellent vampire game.

Gamescom AI Slop Thread. Every game from the Gamescom Opening Ceremonies that was actually AI Slop so you don't have to care about it.

I thought I knew tired. Then I had a baby and my life changed for the better. Turns out though, I knew nothing about being tired until now.
