On the other end of the spectrum, my emotionally needy cat just jumped onto the bathroom counter and rubbed her whole head on my face while I have a mouthful of toothpaste. Girl, I know giving you head smooches is more important than fresh breath, but your timing leaves something to be desired.

I think my emotional support cat takes his job a bit too seriously. He sniffed out the tiny incision wound on my person and proceeded to sploot himself across my chest with this look on his face that said, “Mother, I shall heal you!” While purring very loudly, of course. The enthusiasm is sweet.

As part of our ongoing tradition of discussing actors we like as if they are members of our family, my husband and I just had this conversation about one Tom Hiddleston:

I’m getting Until Dawn 2 and Fate/Extra Record on the day before my birthday. You know what that means, don’t you @firesprite.bsky.social and Aniplex? You can’t delay now. They’re birthday gifts to me, in particular. It’s the rules, and I made them.

The film Resident Evil’s zombie’s appear to be 72% cranberry jam, if the State of Play trailer is anything to go by. Splat.

Well shoot... Grand Theft Auto VI has me smiling and giggling like I'm a teenager again. It's very pretty and looks like a blast. Just one problem . . . I still have not the smallest idea what it's, you know, about. That's not a dealbreaker at this point, just a thought that struck me.

I was thinking about some upcoming games ahead of Gamescom, and about Until Dawn 2, specifically. It struck me that, amidst all of the supernatural trappings, the actual horror of the game seems to be, in a sentence: "Wait, no one knows this person?"

Actual conversation between me and my husband as he tells me more about Monster Hunter Now: Him: “You know the Fated Four, who each represent—“ Me: “Different members of The Golden Girls?” Him: “…actually, yes.”

Somehow the most frustrating part of being sick is not being able to do my character’s voice in D&D. She’s a gruff tabaxi rogue! Her voice doesn’t squeak, goddamnit!

Not me mistaking The Lost Wild for Jurassic Park: Survival. In my defense, it’s an unreleased first-person single-player survival horror game with a female protagonist attempting to escape a derelict facility crawling with dinosaurs. I think I can be forgiven for not clocking the distinctions.

Time to start the #StateofPlay, and we're starting with Wolverine. I'm already amused by the number of enemies in the game who scream that their colleagues should shoot Logan. Y'all have to know that's not going to do anything, right?

I’m catching up on my shows and I’m on S3 of JJK. I think it’s emblematic of everything that tickles me about this show that, in the same 5 min period, Megumi is having a tense-but-ultimately non-violent convo, while my son Yuji is fighting for his life against someone with helicopter locs.

I have a cold and am catching up non-games media while I’m in bed. And I gotta say, the dissonance of absolutely despising the Bridgerton novels while loving the show is tripping me out more than these meds.

My husband asked last night, if I was isekai’d into the last video game I played, what would my life be like? His last game was Dave the Diver, so he’s living his best life eating amazing seafood. My last game was Resident Evil Requiem. Yeah, I think I got the wrong answer to that question.

Okay, why didn’t y’all tell me that TC Carson was going to be here? I would have done my hair and dressed cuter! Also, revealing a side-scrolling God of War prologue as your One More Thing is bold, Sony; I approve. (Is his buddy in the game the OG Atreus?)

Career highlight moment: Telling the manager of Imagine Dragons that his brother's band needed to make a song for my new D&D character. I was only partly joking. Then, darned if he doesn't whip out precisely the right song for her, which I just heard in the @pcgamer.com showcase a few days ago.

Nothing like starting a new noir-inspired gaslamp fantasy D&D campaign with horror vibes and almost immediately getting sidetracked by a lengthy debate about whether our characters (inhabitants of a sealed underground realm) would know what a feather is. (One of us read about it in a book.)

In unrelated news, I got to meet my baby niece for the first time! I explained that I, like a good auntie, would teach her everything I knew. She looked at the face on the phone screen with quite charming perplexity, but I think she got the gist.

By the way, I know I posted about the GamesBeat news writer position last week, but I also want to mention that another position is open for a senior account manager. Both are equally fun because you get to work with me!

I feel like cracking a joke about Mike Minotti taking off for Giant Bomb, where he belongs. But honestly it was great having him at GamesBeat for 13 years. He gave us his expertise in gaming and his dedication to the profession of games journalism. gamesbeat.com/thank-you-fr...

I have been with GamesBeat since 2012, when VentureBeat bought a small, community-focused games media site called Bitmob.

Needless to say I will no longer be contributing to Giant Bomb. Nothing but love to all the wonderful people from there and GameSpot. Jeff was a workhorse and a hero for the way he shouldered so much responsibility there, and I am furious with the way execs treated him. We aren’t going anywhere.
