Echoes of Sekigahara is wonderful. Yes, it’s more Yōtei. But these narrative beats add so much more weight to Atsu’s overarching journey. Not to mention the added mechanics, new area, and heck, Most Wanted all whip. If this is it for the Ghost series, man. What a killer note to close things out.

Jacob is a generational talent. The way he naturally commands a room with positive, fun energy and maintains it is astonishing. Not to mention, he’s straight up the kindest human with the purest of hearts. Forever grateful to call him a friend and humbled whenever I get the Smash Bros-like invite.

It’s October, so it feels apt to remind you all about the survival horror dungeon crawler that has lived rent-free within Mike's nightmares* for the past year and a half now. *positive

I want to say it cannot be said enough how important it is for other men to say things about this shit. In the moment, or ASAP My first ever game dev event I was sexually harassed (assaulted?) by a Sony exec while all of my coworkers saw and said nothing Please say something, for people that can't

I feel like I have so much I want to say but it’s just this incoherent ramble. But do you know how much it weighs on me to be the one woman on staff at GameSpot? To be one of VERY few women in the industry? To be one of ever fewer moms? To walk into press events and be the *sole* woman?

As my body begins to betray me after a month of travel, convention grinding, and various side quests, I’m here to announce my hiatus from Monster, Celsius, and similar beverages. How long? Who knows. At least 2-3 business days. We’ll see what happens.

I haven’t rolled credits yet (so close), but Well Dweller is an immaculate metroidvania. Somehow, some way, @kylethompsondev.bsky.social keeps on proving over and over he’s one of the best working in the scene. I know September has been and continues to be stacked, but drop everything and play it.

As my father’s time was drawing to a close, I was introduced to Games Done Quick and Prevent Cancer Foundation via AGDQ. That was over a decade ago. Fast forward to last night. Being welcomed to PCF Gala as a part of the GDQ family was a surreal honor. Impossible to express my gratitude to y’all.
