Episode 2 of It Takes A Village is out now! 

@davejones.actor joins me to chat about acting, the industry, and engorging - ahem - gorging on comedy shows on the BBC.

Watch now on my YouTube!

Remember your favorite creator possibly might be struggling with imposter syndrome and doubt and this timeline sucks.. so if you find yourself thinking “wow I really relate to this persons work” or that persons work gives you joy, you should probably tell them. It’s a hard time to be a creative.

One thing that stands out in the responses i got was that genAI takes away the very thing that makes making a game so fun. It's fun and worthwhile to do BECAUSE it is hard, because the contraints force creative thinking, and that is in that tension point beauty is found.

For @aftermath.site, I spoke to @imodrew.bsky.social, the Sucker Punch dev fired after making a Charlie Kirk joke.

She paints a picture of an industry that all too often ignores bad actors until those bad actors threaten them financially.

The amount of people I know who have been laid off from games industry jobs and are deciding to leave games entirely as a result is not only extremely saddening (of course), but also genuinely scary. We have lost legitimately thousands of years of knowledge and experience in the last four years.

If you've been thinking of giving Forspoken a try on PS Plus, you still can until December 16th! Go go go!

A bunch of games are leaving PS Plus in December, from Sonic Frontiers, Forspoken, or Battlefield 2042, so if you've been looking to try them, now's the time. https://bit.ly/4o3vKlW

Time has come! As a big fan of Persona 2, Demonschool has been on my radar for a very long time and I am so stoked it's finally out. I know what I'll be doing tonight.
Demonschool is OUT NOW!

It's time to dive into a critically-acclaimed new-style tactics RPG, where motion equals action!

Available on PC, Mac, Linux, Steam Deck (Verified), Switch, PlayStation, and Xbox!

if we talking about the game awards can we talk about their silly games for impact category aka the diversity award. its so silly they will put queer games and games with poc leads (all indie btw) in that category but never nominate them in anything else

in the early 2000s Rebecca took the time to chat over IRC with a teenaged and gender-confused Me on the practicalities of transition - in a time where being out as trans online was something that could get you socially ostracized. I owe her a lot for that and only hope I can pay it forward.

I took a break from Digimon Story Time Stranger just before the final boss, which does not bode well for the likelihood of me actually finishing the game one day. 🥹
