I was playing Deus Ex: Invisible War and a mission-critical NPC got stuck in the level geometry so I found a noclip cheat which to use it I had to edit the text in two .ini files and when it worked I felt like the hacker in Die Hard when he's humming Singin' in the Rain.

I can’t look at another auto-play video of influencers in $300 cardigans talking into a microphone. I just can’t do it anymore.

I don’t post much on here but this came out today & I’m very proud of it.
Thanks RPS & @edwinet.bsky.social for letting me do this.
Skating, videogames…both things have had a profound impact on how and why I write, so to be able to put this article out in the world means a lot to me.

Loved this game Nitroglycerine. It's a pastiche of Wages of Fear/Sorcerer. Feels like Roadcraft mixed with Bennett Foddy.

A challenging arcade simulator of transporting dangerous cargo on heavy trucks along a complex and unpredictable route. A short but extendable adventure.

I only wanted to be a videogame critic. Never a developer. Never 'in the industry'. Play the games. Produce good, original writing that helps illuminate or ventilate the work. It's all in the games. It's all in the articles. Great game or terrible game, I love the work.
