Very excited to say this is what I've been working on with @eteogreg.bsky.social over the past year!

We've got some fantastic articles lined up for you, and I can't wait to share them.

A graphic which uses the colours of the Palestinian flag: white, black, red and green. Text at the top reads “No games for genocide”, and text at the bottom reads “Boycott Xbox, Sign the pledge”, with the website nogamesforgenocide.com below. In the middle of the graphic is an icon of a fist punching upwards, splitting a missile in half. One half of the broken missile has the Xbox logo on it, and the other half has the Microsoft logo on it.

SIGN OUR BOYCOTT XBOX PLEDGE: We are asking gamers, game workers, streamers & journalists to join us in boycotting & divesting from Xbox, to force Microsoft to end its complicity in the genocide of Palestinians.

on the podcast the other day i said that no video should ever be over 30 minutes. i have now finished my latest script. please enjoy me talking too quickly to preserve my values

"Not unless everyone gets real cool about a bunch of stuff really quickly."

honestly since i've branched into fiction the straight up worst question is "can i read it"

my 7 years cancer free was a couple weeks ago and i missed it. I thought it was because I used to acknowledge it on Dec 1 (when I got out the hospital) but I forgot about it all of today as well. it's very weird for it to have lost its significance but it is nice to not think about it very often

How Denshattack! is making the morning commute radical David Jaumandreu talks about how the team at Undercoders is making the coolest train around, and why trains are rad.

I interviewed David Jaumandreu of Undercoders and The Game Kitchen about Denshattack!

It rules.

as for me I finished editing on a game and I got to host two of my very good friends for a weekend and I went to a physical book club for the first time and enjoyed it very much

it's the first of the month! please tell me something nice that happened to you in november? 💛

I've just hit my third month at @rascal.news and am grateful and humbled to be part of this amazing crew. I've learned a lot here as the resident greenhorn, and I would love to share some pieces I've written for the site.

So proud of this project!!! The books look beautiful

the things that lex does without making money off them, let alone a living, are genuinely astonishing and if i speak too much about what they say about the industry i will be in big trouble

So I'm taking the plunge and ordering some PC parts over Black Friday.

If you appreciate what @startmenu.bsky.social has done over the years, like @rewinder.co.uk/my freelance work, or thought I didn't sound like an idiot on Game Mess Mornings, now would be a great time to show your appreciation.

finally got around to playing Windy Meadow: A Roadwarden Tale by @moralanxiety.bsky.social. great story about choosing your path in life but i am losing my mind at the fact that Iudicia getting justifiably angry at the people around her is the least popular choice in the game by far
