Awesome selection! I've read or heard of some of these, but a few are totally new to me. I loved the premise of "This Be Book Bad Translation, Video Games!" 😂😂😂

Will do, thanks again!

Discipline is key! Once you get into the flow of writing, especially when it’s a topic you’re into, it’s just so enjoyable

If you ever consider the idea, I’d totally be down to check it out!

The idea is to learn a little more about games every day and build bridges with others in the field—players, devs, journalists, researchers, and so on. Thanks, Sean! I’ll let you know as soon as I get started. Really appreciate the encouragement!

I've already written a few drafts and came up with a bunch of topics to cover, but I’m still trying to figure out how to fit this hobby into my daily routine in a way that I can stick with it regularly. I really enjoy writing in general and talking about games, so it'll be a pleasure.

The process often ends up being as rewarding (or even more) than the final result, right? Do you teach anything related to games academically?

I've been thinking about getting into writing about games too (in Portuguese), and your work’s been a huge influence, especially your philosophy of "approach games as an exploration rather than an evaluation." 100% this
!

I can only imagine how exciting it must be for you to realize how much awesome stuff is still out there waiting to be explored. It’s truly generous of you to share what you’ve been finding along the way. Thank you, my friend!

I'm having such a great time reading your newsletter. There are so many gems from previous generations that I've never played (or even knew existed). I can't wait to try some of them!

Man, checking out your recommendations is always a highlight, whether on PC Gamer or here. I appreciate you sharing these gems with us. Keep it up!

As an actual writer I have absolutely no time for the romanticization of what is an underpaid and enormously uncool profession, but I will say this: if you use generative AI, you are not a writer. Being a writer is not about having a book or a byline in your name. It's about doing the writing.

That’s huge, Gene! Congrats!

HOT DAMN!

Maravilha! Tava pensando no jogo esses dias

Phoenix Springs on Steam Lose yourself in the mystery of Phoenix Springs – a modern point-and-click set in a cryptic neo-noir world. It begins with an investigation: find your brother Leo. You already know where it ends.

A Lynchian point-and-click adventure with a unique and beautiful art style, and a creative way to interact with the world by collecting and using words instead of objects. The tone is very dreamlike and surreal.

Great news! I’ve been listening to your albums and singles a lot over the past few months. I’ve been thinking about getting back into creating music next year, and your work has been an inspiration and influence. Excited to hear what you have in store!
