ClickOut will destroy everything. They got Techopedia completely deindexed for their bullshit

Lewis White - FRVR @slingles.bsky.social · 13d

AFAIK it’s all google search focused SEO drivel for best gambling content etc. One of ClickOut’s managers is also all about AI. He previously spent years ruining Gfinity

Hey Dan, this was the second old boss. That was a BGFG issue when they updated the site. I complained about this back when I was there but they never cared to fix it

I left as soon as ClickOut acquired it. We found out management had been secretly publishing gambling articles pre-acquisition to test the waters. Fuck ClickOut and BGFG for selling it

It really hurts because I was trying to bring the site back with original reporting again. As someone who was inspired by the original crew to become a games journo, it was a huge effort

We got the site back on Discover, GNews, restated the pod. Then it was sold and stripped for parts.

So I took a deep breath and proposed myself as the artist. I sent a whole batch of pictures to everyone involved. I told them: I really want to do this.

And I’m glad to say they agreed to it!
I really hope you'll like the book.

I asked the Skate devs how much Skate will be in the new game, and they laughed at me 😔

I asked the Skate devs how much Ska is in EA’s new open-world game, and they laughed at me

As a child of the 90s, Skating and Ska music go together like cheese on pizza. The infectious, almost triumphant, blast of trumpets and horns are synonymous to me with pulling off a sick grind and nai...

Mental behaviour. You’re a braver man than I am

Superman felt stretched by its ensemble focus. Fantastic Four just missed the mark on its central ensemble. I loved both films but they definitely have some rather annoying issues for me

Oh wow! Have you ever backed these discs up online somewhere?

Xenoblade side quests feel like the developers simply forgot massive maps need something to do in them

Lewis White - FRVR @slingles.bsky.social · Jul 29

Love it more every time I see it. Weirdly feel good for a film about consistently terrible people blowing up an even worse person

Can we see what’s inside the Vib Ribbon one? 👀

When are you doing the Alien 3 look?

I’ll never forget the day I was chewed out by peers for a negative Cyberpunk preview. That day hurt

What game ignited your passion for gaming?

Saw a girl play this on a Pikachu-branded Game Boy Colour in the doctor's waiting room every week for a few months and just became enamoured with it. Weirdly after seeing the show and card game, this felt like actually entering that world for.

I think Halo 5’s massive amount of variants do water down the sandbox immensely, but a few variants exclusively as power weapons is fantastic

Betting this dumbass doesn’t wear a single hat during at least the first two-thirds of this book. 3/5

This place hardly needs more griping about AI, but this feels like it'll affect a profession that already rarely gets its due. Having read pretty much every Japanese mystery translation going, you learn to appreciate certain translators as much as the authors. www.theguardian.com/books/2025/j...

AI translation service launched for fiction writers and publishers prompts dismay among translators

UK-based GlobeScribe is charging $100 per book, per language for use of its services, but translators say that nuanced work can only be produced by humans

I’ve been blasted with the fact that I now suck ass at Tony Hawk. I guess I’m an adult that’s “lost my shred”.

I talked to Larry Kuperman from @nightdivestudios.bsky.social about how difficult it is to actually remaster old games.

Nightdive Studios took “a stab” at bringing back Soldier of Fortune, but video game rights are a very tricky business
