Well. That's me gone from TheGamer too. Six years of service, and I was at least given the dignity of it ending in a phone call. Right after dealing with weeks of institutionalized misogyny too! Thought things might be getting better So. Uh. Looking for work now I guess!

Starting off the BlueSky account by announcing I got laid off from TheGamer. I am now freelance and available for news, reviews, previews, guides, I've pretty much done it all. If you also need someone that knows too much about FF14 you can hit me up at joshuarobertson1020@gmail.com

I didn't realise the new scenario in the Danganronpa 2 remake is *longer* than the original and now I am very very excited.

I know it shouldn't, but sometimes I wish MTG Arena had a messaging system so I could tell this guy he could've killed me be saccing Fell Stinger to Grimgrin and recasting it with Gisa and Geralf. I'd been at 1 life for about 5 turns by this point and I then won the next turn.

Were we ever given the Watsonian reason why Avishkar is still called Avishkar in the Echoverse in Reality Fracture, even though it still has a Consulate?

Now if it could re-add the seasonal content it also removed that is key for the story so things can make an iota of sense that'd be fab.

Kojima does know he doesn't have to use mocapped actor bullshit in every game, right?

I don't know who I know at Raw Fury, but I would like them to do a new Kingdom game with the art style of Sleeping Beauty.

Today is one year since I was laid off by TheGamer. It's been a terrible year, and not having a job has made it so much harder. The games media industry is dead for all but a handful of people at a handful of sites; hundreds of job rejections later, I think I'm screwed. Hire me for anything.

I think I'm already a bit bored of the 'card effect we see in every set + Empower Jace'-type cards we've seen for Reality Fracture.

Really good tabletop journalism takes a frankly deranged amount of time. Just knowing which games to cover requires hunting down & playing swathes, then once you've found one worth writing about, the more you play it the better the final piece is likely to be. The effort-to-words funnel is brutal.

Thank you so much for the donations. Words can scarcely do your kindness justice. I'll post this a second time, and then leave it at that — know that this has already made a large impact on my sustainability during this trying time. And, again, don't feel pressured! www.gofundme.com/f/frankly-i-...
