Jordan Helsley @writeitjordan.bsky.social · 08/10/2026Two AAA games in three weeks that do the unforgivable: one with enemies who grab you immediately after you struggle free, repeatedly, and one with awful, including the before-the-unskippable-cutscene kind, checkpoints. 000
Jordan Helsley @writeitjordan.bsky.social · 26/09/2026You know that feeling when you play a game early on that relies on a certain number of people liking it to survive and people already hate it before even seeing it and you feel like it's really cool and want to single handedly keep it alive but know that it's going to die and get sad all the time?! 000

Jordan Helsley @writeitjordan.bsky.social · 06/06/2026My important not-E3 takeaways: it feels telling that my "biggest" SGF game was a fucking Saw game from Bloober Team, Day of the Devs made it impossible to choose just one, and we heard from multiple creators you might view as successful who make games after their day job. 000
Jordan Helsley @writeitjordan.bsky.social · 05/06/2026Spent the last few days beating that sketchy Goldeneye 360 port and the decompiled Perfect Dark, and I can confirm that PD is better, but boy, that 360 Bond release would have been WILD without further development. 000

Jordan Helsley @writeitjordan.bsky.social · 28/05/2026It’s insanely funny to see articles like “Which Q-watch should you pick in 007??” to just prove that we’ve reached the endgame of desperately trying to get people to open our ad-filled web pages, huh? Support independent games journalism, if you can, eh. 000
Jordan Helsley @writeitjordan.bsky.social · 28/05/2026Super happy I bowed out of The Discourse(TM) before this Steam Deck pricing business, but I can imagine the collective mind-losing and that’s all I need. 000
Jordan Helsley @writeitjordan.bsky.social · 01/03/2026Requiem makes some truly bizarre design decisions, and thankfully most of them are around optional things, but I'm disappointed that they couldn't help but do *that one section* (so far) where the solution to the problem almost feels like a glitch? 000
Jordan Helsley @writeitjordan.bsky.social · 28/02/2026I don't mean to shock literally no one but I liked Scream 7, even though I would have done something drastically different with the story re: the time frame. 000

Jordan Helsley @writeitjordan.bsky.social · 12/02/2026James Van Der Beek is tragic and sad, though I need to pour an extra one out for Bud Cort, who deserves celebration as well. Harold and Maude was a revelation for me, personally, but he cast wide net, too. 010

Jordan Helsley @writeitjordan.bsky.social · 23/12/2025The worst part of "AI" is a broad tendency to have a gut reaction to something they don't like (for a variety of reasons) of "it looks like AI slop," based on nothing but the desire to be annoying, I assume. Indie game from a budding artist? Basically any non-AAA art at all? Sorry, slop, I guess. 010
