I’ll sometimes read pieces about games that IMO make the mistake of foregrounding aspects of the writer’s life to the detriment of any insight or commentary into the game. When Ashley does it, it’s always earned and meaningful and, importantly, makes me think about the game in new ways.

i'm a memoirist at heart 🥹😭💝 means extra coming from you carolyn thank you 💞💞💞

absolutely too kind, thank you very much for reading 😰❤️‍🔥💞

one of the sweetest emails i've ever received – from 2023, don daglow, who's being honored with a lifetime achievement award at GDC this week :-) i was 23 years old and probably wouldn't still be writing about games if it weren't for people like him

Resident Evil Requiem's secret hero is the "damsel in distress" that redefines the trope – and continues the franchise's mutated definition of girlhood Opinion | Emily is even more important than she appears

happy international women’s day 💋 let’s celebrate with resident evil requiem, where ”girlhood” is a biohazard 🥰🌸

my life is a series of woman moments punctured by brief moments of clarity

smh im never letting my cat try to finish a sentence for me again 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️ no sense of literary device 🤦‍♀️

Saddened to announce I was affected by the recent Polygon layoffs. Though my time there was short, it was an incredible experience with a truly lovely bunch of people.

If you’re looking for a games/entertainment nerd for writing, presenting, PR, or any other opps, hit me up!

so sorry deven :(

Is there anything more @ashleybardhan.bsky.social coded than this?

AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

thank you 🐰🦢🤍🦢🐰🌫️🥹

that’s what i’m saying 😭🙏

ashley and american mcgee may be the single most fitting interviewer interviewee combo in history

😭🤍🤍🤍🐰

Alice Madness Returns creator American McGee is making a spiritual successor, and he's not worried about EA: "There's a kind of obvious overlap, but not one that gets us in trouble with the lawyers" Interview | American McGee has another pretty grim story to tell

american mcgee worked on doom and quake, but even more importantly to me, he created ALICE ⚔️

EA controlled the IP and strangled it ⚔️ mcgee went into retirement ⚔️ but that's all in the past. he confirms to me a spiritual sequel to ALICE: MADNESS RETURNS is coming

The cutest game I've ever played just slapped me in the face with a character death right at the start of its Steam Next Fest demo – and now I have to play more The Moomintroll: Winter's Warmth demo is painfully honest

i left it to the experts and now have a big fancy tin of them at home 🍪 they last forever and make a very hearty sweet breakfast 🙊🧁

without sweetness, i am bitter & nothing 🍴
