Hey! I reviewed The Outer Worlds 2 for @rollingstone.com and I had a grand old time. It’s a space opera RPG that in my opinions, hits the right notes.

Might be Black Friday, but I still got that CONTENT.

I spoke with Dave Guskin, lead designer of Riftbound, at PAXU about the game’s launch, the next set Spiritforged, and the plans beyond. I also get to a reveal a Champion unit card from Spiritforged!

Dinner’s over, and Salsoul Orchestra is playing, which means it’s Christmas season.

Happy Thanksgiving y’all. I hope you’re enjoying the holiday, or your Thursday, whatever this day means to you.
Big plate for gravy stuff, little side plate for non-gravy stuff. This is the way.

“Death Stranding 2 PC shadow drop” has Geoff Keighley written all over it, so I’m betting it drops during The Game Awards.

Going through the old camera roll and remembering this shirt I saw in Myrtle Beach in 2015.

Should have bought it.

Liv has a 96 average in Math and is at or above benchmark in English.

Charlotte is the same, if not a little better, and her teacher told us she’s going to be Star Student (student of the week, basically) next week.

Parent-teacher conference time. Let’s see how the kids are doing so far.

Can't express my admiration for @thesmokingmanx.bsky.social @tamoorh.com @awildjessichu.bsky.social @lotrlore.bsky.social @yochriscruz.bsky.social @crecente.bsky.social (and more I'm forgetting) enough.

If you like my work, it's because of guiding hands like theirs making sure it's fit to print.
By the way, it's National Editor Appreciation Day.

Nobody ever reads a great article and thinks, "Dang, that was some tight editing." But editing is a big part of how it got to be great.

So writers, if you've ever worked with a good editor, shout 'em out.

In case you’ve seen me get heated about Roblox on @giantbomb.bsky.social before, this thread summarizes the issues nicely.

Don’t let your kids play Roblox.
Oh, God, this is one of those "where do I even start" things, because Roblox is, like, *fractally* fucked. They are terrible at content moderation. A lot of the games are rated incorrectly, so kids can encounter graphic content (sex or violence) out of nowhere --
