Tuesday? Timesphere!

This week, @counterscottgo.bsky.social and I caught up on GTA 6’s delay, Rockstar’s ongoing issues, and talked about how it might impact the rest of the industry. We also got into more AI stupidity and Nintendo's future plans in gaming and beyond!

This deal to reopen the government is fucking disgraceful.

Tens of millions will lose their healthcare. Trump will be emboldened.

This is exactly what’s wrong with Democratic Party leadership and why we need more people in Congress who will actually hold the line.

NEW: I spoke to original Halo devs about that ICE Halo post

One: "abhorrent”

Another: "Using Halo imagery in a call to ‘destroy’ people because of their immigration status goes way too far, and ought to offend every Halo fan, regardless of political orientation”

Justice Brett Kavanaugh: “If the officers learn that the individual they stopped is a U.S. citizen...they promptly let the individual go."

The reality: Americans have been dragged, tackled, beaten, tased and shot by immigration agents.

A must read from the very talented @nicolefoy.bsky.social:
More Than 170 U.S. Citizens Have Been Held by Immigration Agents. They’ve Been Kicked, Dragged and Detained for Days.

Internet and publishing issues aside, I got the chance to review the ASUS ROG Xbox Ally X over the last week and decided to take the angle of casually daily driving it out of the box.

I really enjoyed my time with the system, despite some clear issues.

Fun fact: my first big investigative piece at PCGamesN was about Amorant, and now it’s getting a demo!

I chatted to the wonderful @imabeebop.bsky.social about how it all happened, and I really can’t wait to see what the team does next! #VALORANT

Well, as of last Friday, Esports on SI has ceased operations, meaning I have no home for my work in the lead up to Pokémon Legends: Z-A (and beyond.)

I am currently looking for full-time employment, but I am now open to some new freelance work if anyone knows pubs looking for an extra hand.
