I spent all evening yesterday grinding EXP on Pokémon Crystal, and it was such a stark realisation of how great gaming was as a kid, without a worry in the world, besides having enough potions.
Don’t get me wrong, I still love gaming now in my adulthood, but it just lacks that magic.

Hello 👋🏼
Are indie games your jam? Especially those that are a completely hand drawn, parry focused metroidvania with an adorable main character?
If so, let me know 👇🏼

Today is my last day at GLHF as Deputy Editor and it's been a wild ride over some four or five years.
I'm not really one for the freelance life but if you need an experienced games writer for reviews, mocks, or scorching hot takes, give me a shout while I figure my life out.

I don’t know… but maybe if you have a team of creative folks, engage their passion and skills for concept art and not use generative AI?
I realise I’ve been on an anti AI tangent these last few days but I really do think it sucks and zaps the joy out of creativity.

The amount of industry folks I see who just happily use AI in their content is so disappointing.
Surely destroying the environment for a shitty AI image for your LinkedIn post makes you feel totally embarrassed? And if it doesn’t, it absolutely should.

idk man, I think you also shouldn't WANT to play Hogwarts Legacy. Like, in the face of JKR's incredible bigotry and vitriol for trans people, their supporters, other queer groups, people who disagree with her
At what point does it become enough to overcome your nostalgia as a grown-ass adult???

As each day passes I’m seeing more and more industry mutuals actively using AI in their self promotion and external work.
Disappointed, but not remotely surprised.
