Sometimes I think the writing part helped me even more than it did the students lol. What did you tutor?

Rules are made to be broken. Injustice makes the rules, and courage breaks them.

I don't regret how things turned out, but some other me is very happy as a curator or conservation specialist

Was a history and writing tutor in college, then a graduate teaching assistant with the intent to do museum work after getting my degree ---> life went sideways ---> stumbled into journalism, then PR work, then video game consulting and am still doing all three

Save 100% on Warhammer: Vermintide 2 on Steam The critically acclaimed Vermintide 2 is a visually stunning and groundbreaking melee action game pushing the boundaries of the first person co-op genre. Join the fight now!

Cool free stuff alert: They're giving away the base version of Warhammer: Vermintide 2 this weekend.

Really good co-op first-person brawler about the world's most dysfunctional friend group fighting through the ratpocalypse.

There's some decent DLC but they've added a LOT for free over the years.

Dragon Quest I & II HD-2D Remake is not Dragon Quest I or Dragon Quest II, but it is a a classic song of hope for our modern, hopeless times. In one of my deepest dives yet, I unpack how these games have changed, and how the meaning of Dragon Quest has evolved for me through these remakes. #blutoid

The Dispatch devs want you to be jerks more often Stop being so nice

Same, it's top on my list of holiday gaming plans lol

Also, something I (and the creative director) was surprised more people didn't realize: You don't have to pick a romance choice

Maybe I'm just ignorant but I legit don't understand why 90% of this is something you need LLMs for (and why the other 10% like random branching dialogue is beneficial to anyone)

(I do highly recommend reading it though, excellent book)

Surprise the Wicked fan in your life this holiday season with Gregory Maguire's book. Trust me, they'll be surprised

Today is the day to tell a strange story.

The long version we'll tell later, but the short version is this. In an attic, in his late great-uncle's house, @jon.inkle.co found a locked trunk. It took twenty years to open. Last summer he did.

Inside was a wiring diagram, and a stack of books.

More on the Tales series recent failures in crediting localizers:

Sure would be nice if they'd also credit the English voice actors, Portuguese, French, Italian, German, and Russian localizers (English, Spanish, and Chinese were at least credited), as well as the localizers who work on any new text for this remaster, too... #TranslatorsintheCredits

It's *wild*

Idk if Berseria's side quest translations ever got updated post-launch, but if not, hopefully Bandai fixes it for the remaster

'Black Ops 7' Is the Largest and Messiest 'Call of Duty' Ever Activision's annual 'Call of Duty' tries too much and delivers too little with 'Black Ops 7'

[New Byline] For my debut on @rollingstone.com, I reviewed Black Ops 7, a confusing and confused entry which tries to juggle a lot and only lands a few shots. Not the series' worst, but one to skip even if you push aside all the evil surrounding it: www.rollingstone.com/culture/rs-g...

Demonschool on Steam Deck, Steam Deck OLED, PS Portal, ROG Ally, Switch, and Switch 2 backward compatibility next to a cup of black coffee. https://www.rpgsite.net/feature/18969-demonschool-ps5-vs-switch-2-steam-deck-pc-port-impressions-comparison

I covered Demonschool from @necrosoftgames.com @ysbryd.net on PS5, Switch, Switch 2, Steam Deck, and ROG Ally for @rpgsite.net. I know many were curious how this feels on console and handhelds: www.rpgsite.net/feature/1896...

America's first ever esports champion was Rebecca Heineman, a trans woman. She went on to found some of your favorite video game studios and worked on your favorite video games. Next time you see somebody rail about 'woke' and 'DEI'
Remember that.
Remember her.

The Persona-like Demonschool needs remedial classes Endless quips and limited character development get a low grade

Demonschool is another ambitious indie that suffers greatly from treating good, careful writing like an optional afterthought. The tactical battles are fun, though

Dispatch Review - IGN A true spiritual successor to the Telltale Games of the 2010s.

Which is ironic since direction (defined for the awards anyway) is where games end up being different from movies - so many different kinds of vision made possible by the medium, so many cases where the vision is good and noteworthy even if other bits of the execution don't cut it

Black protag = usually won't be considered for a real award, but they want to get points so game is relegated to "impact" awards.

Amazing seeing what was jammed into that category.
