There's been some incredible pieces up recently, it's been an absolute pleasure to read.

I dunno, it's a pretty fucking good review

'Night and the City' by Chris Donlan remains one of the finest online articles on game urbanism ever. Somehow simultaneously personal, historical, and objective it is an excellent read, and a reminder that L.A. Noir remains truly unique.

Shitty news but it reminded me of all the brilliant pieces you’ve written on their works. It’s been great to go back to them to remember what made that studio so special

This was my first RPG too! Absolutely loved it.

Putting the mega drive back into Sega: how the company wants to return to creating video game "rock & roll", compared to Nintendo's "pop music" Eurogamer speaks to Sega president Shuji Utsumi to hear his plans to recapture the essence of what made Sega so spicy compared to Nintendo's safe alternative.

Still floating after the VF news (and it was beautiful to have Yu Suzuki involved in some small way too). This wonderful interview by @milkman.bsky.social confirms it - SEGA is back!

Doronko Wanko! I’ve played it a few times and it’s wonderful but also I just like saying the name out loud to myself every now and then. Doronko Wanko!
