That’s the reason I’m your favorite writer!

Nothing like starting a new noir-inspired gaslamp fantasy D&D campaign with horror vibes and almost immediately getting sidetracked by a lengthy debate about whether our characters (inhabitants of a sealed underground realm) would know what a feather is.

(One of us read about it in a book.)

My husband just watches my face while I play and tells me if I look like I’m having fun or not.

In unrelated news, I got to meet my baby niece for the first time! I explained that I, like a good auntie, would teach her everything I knew. She looked at the face on the phone screen with quite charming perplexity, but I think she got the gist.

THEY’RE FEEDING ME, Y’ALL!!

Y’ALL, I WAS HOPING FOR FIRE EMBLEM, NOT EXPECTING.

Y’ALL

Okay, between the Virtual Boy and the Fatal Frame 2 remake, I find myself pleasantly surprised.

In what universe, in what godforsaken reality am I actually considering buying a Virtual Boy??

Nice to see Supergiant’s habit of bringing the awesome Hades trailers remains unbroken.

Honestly, a Nintendo Direct isn’t a party until Koizumi shows up. #nintendodirect

Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream goes from a release year to a release season. We’re getting there! #nintendodirect

Popucom looks adorable and fun, but its name sounds like the name of a really crummy social media platform. #nintendodirect

Yoshi looks like he’s about to encounter little Cereza in the new game. Real ones know what I mean. #nintendodirect

Y’all can have the talking flowers, though. #nintendodirect

Also, I’ll be fighting y’all for that physical copy of Rosalina’s storybook. #nintendodirect

“Fever rackets” sounds like an old-timey con. #nintendodirect

SR AM ROLE | GamesBeat #WEAREHIRING We're entering a new era, which means it's a new chapter for the industry! GamesBeat is growing fast, and we’re hiring a Client Success Manager/Director to play a key role at the center...

By the way, I know I posted about the GamesBeat news writer position last week, but I also want to mention that another position is open for a senior account manager. Both are equally fun because you get to work with me!

🚨🚨Potential job opportunity: looking for someone with experience in social media around gaming and entertainment. If this is you, DM for more details. If this isn't you, but you know someone who it is, send them my way.

I’ve been working since 7:30 with a migraine. I just wanted to feel included.

How are we all doing after the collective sick day we took for the Silksong launch?

Goddamn right! I'm so glad to see another new games journalism site pop up. Congratulations @roguesite.bsky.social and I'll support as much as I can!

I’m responding, I promise!

Okay, I just realized my DMs were closed, so that’s egg on my face! They are now open if anyone wants to reach out!

Just to reiterate: GamesBeat has an opening for a writer! If anyone is interested, feel free to DM me!
Must be:
-Interested in the business of the industry (*very* interested; it's kind of our thing)
-Willing to talk about games
-Capable of writing good words
Sound like anyone you know?

You haven’t heard me defend my thesis concerning the Golden Girls as a D&D party… so don’t speak too soon!

Sooooo. Anyone want to come work with me at GamesBeat? I need someone to listen to me rant about The Golden Girls. But other than that, I promise I’m nice!

Y’all realize I’m going to be in the @giantbomb.bsky.social chat way more now, right? No one escapes me and my hyperfixations that easily.

A thank you from Mike Minotti I have been with GamesBeat since 2012, when VentureBeat bought a small, community-focused games media site called Bitmob.

I feel like cracking a joke about Mike Minotti taking off for Giant Bomb, where he belongs. But honestly it was great having him at GamesBeat for 13 years. He gave us his expertise in gaming and his dedication to the profession of games journalism. gamesbeat.com/thank-you-fr...
