@duckvalentine.bsky.social is truly one of the best reporters in this industry, and quite frankly, the only one I trust to write a story like this. Just a complicated, messy story that needed to be told

Poppy's new favorite thing is to send me reels and tiktoks of "girlypops" with nunchucks doing tricks and just telling me that she can do that. A new irrational fear unlocked is just her injuring herself swinging nunchucks

A few weeks ago, a couple of Nintendo Switch Reddit communities rallied around a player who said "I'm dying" of ALS, and said the Ocarina of Time remake would be the first game he actually finishes. I spoke to him about his situation and what games mean to him: www.gamesradar.com/games/the-le...

A dying man's quest to finish the Zelda Ocarina of Time remake: "This will be the first, and likely only, video game I actually beat"

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake is especially meaningful to one player

On Jacob Geller

I'm aware of the rape allegations against Jacob Geller, as well as the fact that his name is on a court-ordered list of UNC students disciplined for sexual violence. I've hesitated on whether to post anything about it, because the victim hasn’t been identified and I don’t want to participate in a retraumatizing conversation against their wishes. At the same time, as someone who has collaborated with Jacob Geller, I do not want my silence to be taken as endorsement.

For my part, I did not know about this and I wish I had. What justice and repair look like in cases like these are for the victim to decide, and I do not know their wishes or what accountability processes, if any, took place. However, strictly on a personal level, I’m uncomfortable having collaborated with someone who has presented himself as a nonthreatening feminist without ever disclosing his history of sexual violence to me or any other colleagues I’ve spoken to. I have no intention of ever working with Geller again. Beyond that, the person this happened to ought to be the ultimate authority on what happens next, and how they wish to tell their story if at all.

I know this is being done with good intentions so I say it with all love: Dudes, when women are expressing fear and disappointment over a predator who was by all outward appearances safe and kind, that’s not the time to, how should I put this, humble-boast about how *you’re* one of the safe ones. ⬇️

Jacob Geller is no longer a part of MinnMax. He won't be on content moving forward and we won't be publicly airing this week's episode of The MinnMax Show. We're in shock and deeply hurt. Thank you for your patience during this sensitive time.

Hey everybody, you'll likely see accusations bubbling up in the Discord and online. Just want you all to know they're deeply unsettling and we're taking them seriously and will be having internal conversations about the next steps. We appreciate your patience and keeping the Discord civil for the time being.

So while I firmly support a future independent media ecosystem, we also need to understand that an independent system is going to make us lose crucial writers and beats

040

Grant Stoner @supercrip1994.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

It's just not feasible to create your own independent newsletter with a specific beat and expect it to survive without outside assistance. It just isn't.

Grant Stoner @supercrip1994.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

I strongly believe journalism will survive through independent publications, but reporters that specialize in specific topics, like disability for example(!), cannot function under an independent system, especially one that is reliant on subscriptions.

Grant Stoner @supercrip1994.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

The future of media in this industry is absolutely independent. It's something I've been preaching for the past two years. But independence still isn't sustainable, especially for reporters with "niche" beats.

In recent years, the media has quietly begun to change the way in which it writes about Bobby Kotick, the former CEO of Activision Blizzard. PMG investigates how Kotick used the threat of defamation to reshape his legacy in the games business, one article at a time. www.youtube.com/watch?v=kKwp...

Under no circumstances should content creators be compared to journalists. It just fails everybody in the long run.

Grant Stoner @supercrip1994.bsky.social · 23/09/2026

Can both provide information to viewers that may be beneficial? Yes! But there is ALWAYS a hesitancy or inability to tell full stories with content creators. And I've personally witnessed this within the accessibility space.
