Unwinnable subscribers saw an excerpt of this last month, but here's the much, much longer convo I had with Autumn back in December about cultural criticism, my process, and a long, ongoing battle with alienation from my own taste and craft. A little rambly, apologies

Very sorry to see this, Mikhail

I was laid off today, among hundreds of others at The Washington Post.

I loved covering games here, and I am so proud of our international coverage.

My colleagues — those who lost their jobs and those who didn't — are rockstars. It was such an honor to work alongside them.

Happy Anniversary to Citizen Sleeper 2: Starward Vector!

I wasn’t an easy development but I’m still so proud of the game, and how I bounced back stronger from the difficulties that hit mid-dev.

Here’s the oldest concept I could find, from November 2022.

I’m glad the Rig made it in the end 🚀

On behalf of Bullet Points, I have to issue an apology. We did not actually go to a Highguard event. That was a lie and the image below, while convincing, is indeed fabricated.

Last week Bullet Points took the Transatlantic Mobile Air Carrier to LA to check out #Highguard.

Monday, January 26th at 10am PST, we enter another dimension!

Yayaya
