Getting diagnosed with ADHD was the best thing I’ve ever done, because it made me realise I had A Thing that I could work with and adapt around, rather than just being Generally A Bit Shit and trying to force myself to Just Do Better. It did the complete opposite of writing me off.

GW’s success is also fascinating because it’s both a high street business and a multinational one, though not in the way you’d expect, because it’s vertically integrated with local manufacturing. The lead belt around Nottingham is arguably the only modern British manufacturing success story.

I can tell that games media is in a deeply unhealthy place when I see some of the most talented, experienced, and incisive reporters and critics in the space say they don't know how much longer they can keep on doing the work. The industry is hollowing out and the writing itself is suffering for it.

Games media is not only unhealthy because there aren't jobs. For years, games media (journalism in general, really) has run on a deeply unhealthy system that incentivized the worst kind of writing and devalued the labor of writers and other creators.

100% agree, and I've been trying to beat this drum. We, as PRs, want lots of coverage - but aren't doing enough to support and nurture outlets. We need to include them in our preview and review cycles, our hands-on events, and spend with them! It's why so many outlets are making showcases!

Games media cuts have felt unending for a while, but the mood feels especially grim among indie outlets with the latest wave of layoffs. More than ever, if the game industry values its media, it needs to support them. Buy some advertising, sponsor content, purchase subs. It makes a big difference.

High in the halls of Gateless Zantenelle weep the great Gods! The sages speak in single voice: “Death and doom and fury shall befall those who burnt Aedica On-White-Cliffs!” Our new mythic fantasy #TTRPG Atrapos is live NOW on Kickstarter! www.kickstarter.com/projects/sou...
Mockup of Atrapos, a doomed mythic fantasy roleplaying game. The hardcover book has a mosaic cover showing a godly figure with a heavy build, a bushy beard and a bare chest. He holds a ship like a toy in his hands, the ocean flowing out between his fingers. The mockup floats on an illustrated background of two chariots riding towards each other into battle with "just launched kickstarter" logo on the bottom.

I find it all very odd. We're just asking people *not* to drink for 45 minutes at a time. They can even leave a bit early to grab a pint. I don't really understand the push towards it.

Ten years of relentlessly hateful, comically elitist anti-democratic politics across the white people world, helpfully summarised. The wrong people are talking, the wrong people are deciding and it’s harming the careers of important people who actually matter. Smithers! Release the hounds
The incident fits a broader pattern in the discourse around 'free speech' and 'cancel culture': whatever comes from the top down is freedom; whatever comes from the bottom up is bullying and censorship. When Macklemore is dropped at the behest of the billionaire stadium owner Robert Kraft, it's an exercise of the freedom of businesses to 'demonstrate their values' by deciding whom to platform. But when Ed Sheeran's fans decide not to buy tickets to his performances, or even demand refunds, it's bullying, mob behaviour. Since most people are not billionaires and do not own stadiums, they can exercise meaningful power only collectively. The collective exercise of power must therefore be demonised.

DoorDash has ripped off more than 260,000 NYC delivery workers. We’re making them pay $131.5 million — the largest worker settlement in City history. This is New York, where hard work pays and greed will cost you.
DoorDash messed up.
They repeatedly left more than 260,000 NYC delivery workers underpaid or paid late, causing them immense stress and financial difficulty.
That's unacceptable.
We've secured a $131.5M settlement from
DoorDash - the largest worker settlement in NYC history and largest delivery worker settlement in
American municipal history.
Every worker will be paid what they are owed, and every company will be forced to abide by the laws of this city.
