Resident Evil was super fun, no-frills horror. Really cool RE-ass monster design. I enjoyed it quite a bit.

Now that I’m the master’s program I have virtually no time for games anymore so naturally I’m playing Starfox Adventures. This feels like a good use of my time

Finally got around to the Final Fantasy Resonance demo. Overall it’s 100% my jam, even if all the meta reference are cringy as hell. I’ll gladly admit the nostalgia baiting has worked on me

Week two of the master's program feels like a fucking skill check, like Margit the Fell Omen just pounded me on the skull and shouted "you sure about that" in Tim Robinson's voice

The Restart news is absolutely infuriating. I had a working relationship with many of the people there, dating back to the days of Greenlit. Management has always been awful, but the editorial team was one of the best in the business. I only did a bit of work for Restart but I was grateful for it

I was laid off from Restart today, alongside my wonderful and talented co-workers. Sucks to write, but here we are. Lots of ways you can help, but I'm currently live with a lay-off subathon where you can come and chat and sub to keep the timer going to give me some cash Twitch.tv/MamaVitelli

My latest op-ed might be the hardest I've ever gone in the paint in my entire career, but this is the feeling that has been building up in me for the last few years. The last few weeks was the tipping point. Writing this gave me no pleasure, but it was certainly therapeutic in a way.

I guess now’s as good a time as any to get into emulation since the industry has no interest in preservation. Anyone got any tips for a beginner?

Sony ending physical game production feels dire as hell. Like I knew the industry was already a hellscape but good lord. Between $1,000 next gen consoles and a lack of physical media what does the future of games even look like? Truly wild shit
