my sole consolation of withstanding gamer fuckboys is when they attempt to spin the block with ‘you’re the only one who cared about my hardware hacks’ well you can play thank u next on your 16-bit homebrew for me

for anyone else who has moved often in their life, have you noticed different people you attracted dating-wise? when i was in NYC it was bartenders and line cooks, in FL it was carpenters, here in CA it’s jiujitsu teachers

my incredibly stupid superpower is that whenever i eat out at a nice restaurant alone everyone assumes i am a food critic and therefore there’s always this quiet manic energy buzzing around me and they don’t charge me for my sparkling water

an argument for class warfare (s/o to my mother who drilled into me to get to the airport 2 hours early, i still only just made boarding)

A sign at the airport with TSA wait times, pre check has a 5 minute wait and general has a 65 minute wait

i think because i grew up in a politically purple context i find the Schrödinger’s mustache (is this man a hipster beach bum that hunts for his own food or is this man a Nazi) familiar and comforting

i’m in San Diego and idk how to articulate this but i feel like there is some shared vibe or cultural attitude below a certain latitude that i miss living in. the problem is the other side of that particular coin is like a general sense of being unhinged

i am convinced bras don’t exist in video games

i feel like this accounts both for the impact of queer games and new games criticism (is that what we are calling it?)

mattie @mattiebrice.bsky.social · 15/03/2026

i what lets me down the most is speaking of games/play outside of the ecology of experiences it is taking place in. i blame formalists (of course) but moreso industry that insists on games being a product

based on the retweets i am seeing it seems like GDC needs more counter programming until it becomes obsolete

do you think games as an industry will eat itself to the point only people on the margins survive and get to define the medium afterwards? i hope so

For months, @jacksonwryan.com has been looking into why so many video games sites have become full of gambling and casino stories, unusual author images, and, most recently, the use of AI. We've connected these sites to Clickout Media. Here's what we've learned.

✋🏻ppl already have the dirtbag left as a rallying call, co-opting woke into ‘dark woke’ is like killing woke and doing woke necromancy because bureaucrats only know how to extract. but ig since normies are radicalizing i’ll wait until they stop shooting people in the streets to call them cringe

anyone seen games Black History month highlights of people outside of AAA? i haven’t and it’s like erasing the existence of experimental art and writing. new games journalism, not-games, black grassroots work. it seems like we’ve regressed culturally because movements aren’t properly attributed

there should be a talk/panel about this at GDC

does anyone remember that blip in time where the chatbot game Boyfriend Maker was viral in games crit and it was eventually taken down from the app store because too many people were gooning to it and so it started to goon with unsuspecting children? yeah we were on that AI beat back in 2012/3

When I got the contract to write a history of concentration camps in 2014, I hoped to keep the US from ending up here. That didn't work out! But now it's critical to understand how much is already in process and the enormity of what's coming. The sooner we act to stop it, the more people we'll save.

That the illegal destruction of USAID will kill more than *20 million people* in the next five years, & has ALREADY KILLED 600,000 in just one year, is a world-historical crime that Americans aren't being told about in the terms & with the repetition necessary for them to believe it.

i think folks, esp in tech, routinely forget that tech is a discipline and tech companies do not know what writers, historians, teachers, archivists, and geographers do. to tech companies writers simply type words, geographers just make maps, and teachers only dispense information
