Thank you to @unwinnable.com for working with me on this story. I had a fascinating and unique experience watching La La Land with my fiancé on a date for Valentines, and I’m happy that I’ve been given the space to share this experience with others.

Here we have it, the 40th published piece in my portfolio. Thank you to @startmenu.bsky.social for the space to write this. I’m looking forward to writing even more and hopefully hitting 50 pieces soon.

J @thetenthletter.bsky.social · 29/04/2026

Huge thanks to @startmenu.bsky.social for giving me the space to write about the very cool puzzle game beneath Horripilants more overt idle game. Also very glad I can somewhat justify the hours I lost to Adventure Capitalist as a teen as they led to me having more to say in this review years later

Likewise, and thank you lol. My name's literally just in the alphabet, so the pen name I've derived from it is just a given

J @thetenthletter.bsky.social · 18/03/2026

Thank you! Definitely a game worth getting round to or pushing up the list if it’s not at the top already

Wow, great piece by @thetenthletter.bsky.social. I already wanted to play this game, but this took it to another level

J @thetenthletter.bsky.social · 18/03/2026

I've not experienced much art that has forced itself under my skin in the way that 1000xRESIST did. It gave me a lot to think about and to do, the first of which being writing this piece. Thank you startmenu for the space for this, and to @kellymerka.bsky.social for making it the best it can be.

Iron Lung uses its longer run time to recreate the vivid tangibility of the short game that inspired it and, in doing so, establishes Mark Fischbach’s directoral voice as one more than worth paying attention to. @thetenthletter.bsky.social reviews. www.startmenu.co.uk/home/review-...

I think a fundamental problem here, and why people are bouncing off, is that the new, too sleek, too polished visuals don't take me back to the original, or even look how I pictured them in my mind's eye. They severe me from that and remind me that it's 2025. www.youtube.com/watch?v=PUvS...

In Ubik Studios’ Leila, the titular character brings the player along on a journey of self-reflection. A meditative experience guided by gentle narration, the game examines what it means to be human — both when we’re at our best, and our worst. Jay Weaver reviews.

According to this paper, lower estimates put the number at 13k which is like a non-viral video’s views and pretty scary to realise

Hello. About a year and a half ago, some guy called Ralph asked me if I wanted to make a new videogame website. We're launching it today. Maybe you can even visit it if people stop hammering the server for a second.

Thank you again to @unwinnabledavid.bsky.social and everyone at @unwinnable.com I’ve been featured alongside some excellent writers in this month’s issue and I want to remember this awesome moment by displaying the front page on my wall

J @thetenthletter.bsky.social · 30/05/2025

@jacobgeller.com is literally interviewed in this thing and I’ve never done paid writing before. I feel like I’ve skipped one too many steps as I graduate my BSc in a few weeks and l’m now trying to find ways to move from part time retail to full time writing

J @thetenthletter.bsky.social · 30/05/2025

It has been pleasantly mind melting to see the cover informed by piece in this issue, and to see it featured as an excerpt on the website, and closing the issue with its own title page. Huge thanks to everyone involved for making this happen, this is so cool and huge for me

Unfortunately this piece isn’t published online, so I’ll be keeping it here as a record of its existence to non-university students. Also don’t question the YouTube credit, I didn’t realise that they’d keep that in :P

J @thetenthletter.bsky.social · 26/11/2024

This was very fun to write and it was nice to reflect on my relationship again in conjunction with my writing. I didn’t know what the piece just before mine was going to read like so the tonal disconnect is quite amusing but luckily Razz Magazine didn’t see that as an issue.

J @thetenthletter.bsky.social · 26/11/2024

This is an old piece and I’m doing some catch up but thank you to Razz Magazine for publishing my piece (right).
