As a lot of you may know Marvel Rivals is one of my most played games. And I'm still shocked that I got to speak to Guangguang about the game and everything surrounding it for @kotaku.com! If you have a moment, give it a read.

This is by far the Best compliment I've ever gotten. @jamesthecarr.bsky.social tried to dunk on my movie taste and could not when he saw my Letterboxd account

I love reading smart analysis of games that I don’t necessarily agree with, and while I love the split nature of Requiem, I think Luis lays out his argument for why it didn’t work for him exquisitely

Resident Evil Requiem Is Suffering an Idenitiy Crisis - IGN Resident Evil Requiem's dual protagonists offer two very different forms of gameplay, but the clash between horror and action inflicts tonal whiplash.

By all accounts, I thought Resident Evil Requiem was a fun game. But it often felt as if it couldn't commit to one thing or another, and it really hurt the overall experience for me. If you have some time, please give my latest @ign.com story on this a read!

Warhammer 40,000 is a big part of my life, and it's something that I absolutely love. I'm beyond honored to showcase that love in my recent @gameinformer.com story! I got to talk to some really cool devs who are working on fun projects while explaining the lore!

Nothing better than getting randomly followed by an account and then I check em out and they're making something really cool. It's like Rollerdrome and SSX had a baby

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.

I think the fact that they haven’t put out the patch six years into the PS5’s life is the reason everyone is asking for a full on remake, but a PS5 update would make 99% of people happy

primary issue is that there isn’t a PS5 version and the PS4 is locked at 30 FPS even on PS5

I spent 40 hours digging into Tales of Berseria’s story and combat and came out impressed Despite some technical hiccups, Tales of Berseria Remastered is an upgrade worthy of its sea legs.

Hello everyone! Happy to share that I reviewed Tales of Berseria Remastered for @techradar.com! This was my first time with the game and I loved it! I really enjoyed the direction it went and the new additions, while small, made gameplay a blast. Check it out below! Hope you enjoy!

Resident Evil Requiem Review – Capcom’s Ultimate Modern Resident Evil - MonsterVine Resident Evil Requiem blends first-person survival horror with RE4-inspired action, starring Leon and newcomer Grace in Capcom’s most refined modern Resident Evil yet.

Resident Evil Requiem fucking rips. It’s the best gameplay—both survival horror and action—in the series since 4. Swapping between segments enhances both experiences, making for a fantastic horror experience monstervine.com/2026/02/resi...

I think this is one of my favorite reviews I've ever written and maybe my best, too.

I spent a lot of time on it – hours over the weekend writing in my head and hours at the computer attempting to type out those thoughts. It was a mental exercise unlike any I've had in recent memory. Please enjoy!

Resident Evil Requiem takes the best of the modern games and remakes and smashes them together to create the best Resident Evil in years. - @jamesthecarr.bsky.social

As long as the new Xbox CEO brings us a new Viva Piñata then this was all worth it.

the only reason corporations ever put a woman of color in charge is if that person is going to have to publicly eat shit in a big way. sarah bond has clearly chosen not to be microsoft's sin eater, and asha sharma has taken on that role.

I really need a publication to let me review Saros.

One of the biggest games people are looking forward to with an Indian protagonist?

I have to review that for so many reasons.

I want to do features on that, interviews, and so much coverage for guides.

I need this to happen, please.
