@daytenrose.bsky.social writes beautifully, especially toward the end of this piece (and about the end of the game) about what the meaning of physical communication is for men who don't yap incessantly when they hang out. it's GOOD

Im sorry to be a bummer on the tl, but the idea of losing Stop Caring is really painful. I am very proud of the small space I've carved for myself and others, the ways readers have received our pieces, and all the lovely people I've met. It would be a shame to lose it all.

It is no exaggeration when I say Stop Caring saved my life. There were days where I wanted to end it all and I persevered because I had essays to write and people to edit and I did not want to betray their trust. the future is uncertain right now watch this space updates in an upcoming blog

And you know what happens when you focus on the quality of a person's work and not whether you know them, or if you've worked with them before, or what their identity is? You will get a broad range of the human experience in your website, no longer dominated by the views of cis white men.

This is a good time as any to tell you that the diversity of Stop Caring was a complete accident. I didn't go out into the world looking specifically for women and queer people that wanted to write about video games. I looked at quality of the pitches and work, first and foremost.

I think what really gets my ass is like, nobody currently working in games media in a hiring or commissioning position will admit it, but the severe gendering of who gets to write and produce content in this space is part of an explicitly male chauvinist, right wing cultural movement.

This won't affect any the pitches I've already accepted and have planned for 2026, But it will mean next year there might be no Stop Caring.

A little peek inside my life: There is a very real possibility I will lose my job soon. They are asking me to do something I am not comfortable with. If I lose my job, I have no safety end. That means that Stop Caring will be on hiatus until my material reality improves. I dont know what to do.

oh and inb4 dan st*pleton but there are so many talented, qualified and dedicated writers who are women. I could swing a dead cat inside the Critical Distance archives for the past 12-18 months and easily present a baker's dozen excellent posts from women critics, writing about all sorts of rad shit

Just saw that @kellymerka.bsky.social's great Sable piece is available today, give it a read! Very thoughtful breakdown on how the game's world reflects its history and creates a tangible sense of time having passed on this whole planet: unwinnable.com/2026/09/28/t...

my review of Control Resonant, which remarkably maps Dylan's inner life onto an open world, reckons with COVID, and all but bursts with spectacle and emotive heft www.slantmagazine.com/games/contro...
Text: Traversal is far more compelling, as Control Resonant remarkably maps Dylan’s inner life onto his movement through the open world. Though Dylan’s capacity to levitate carries a sense of liberation—from the inconveniences of urban planning, from the F.B.C.’s unshakable grip on him—so, too, does it communicate his ostracization. Rather than walking among the F.B.C., whose agents hush their conversations or berate Dylan when he approaches, he soars above them, a pariah tolerated solely as a weapon. All the while, he floats across chasms with the same relaxed, Peter Pan-esque bearing as Jesse, underscoring her absence and his loneliness.

Control Resonant excels in providing ample spectacle, interesting characters, and uniquely Redemy-ish weirdness; however, its combat and heavy RPG influences don’t hold up their end of the bargain, creating a somewhat muddled experience. @brandoncraw.bsky.social reviews.
