Barring anything stopping me, I'll be celebrating my 1000th consecutive daily stream on Saturday the 18th of July! There'll definitely be some reminiscing and celebrating because I wouldn't have been able to do this without all the love and support I've received over the years <3

The thing is, I like digital delivery and digital ownership, I don't need stacks and stacks of plastic waste. But all of these companies turned what could be a social good into a ruinous capitalist hellscape and that's a problem that persists through the ENTIRE pipeline, not just the point of sale.

this is what it feels like to make a game

And, because I loathe that only anger actually motivates me to post, here are some great games I’ve been loving lately: store.steampowered.com/app/1592170 store.steampowered.com/app/1321440 store.steampowered.com/app/3035120 store.steampowered.com/app/219990

Getting to my absolute limit with Instagram. They don’t give af about bigoted hate speech, deep fake scam ads or blatant AI deception. Why do they have a report button when nothing goes against their “standards”. I’m honestly over it entirely.

HAPPY PRIDE MONTH

That new steam controller is flirting with me and I don’t like it.

there’s nothing worse than a happy billionaire

One of my goals as a journalist is to enrich people's experiences with media. When you play a new game, that experience is more vibrant and fulfilling because you know the story behind the art. Why and how was it made? Where does it fit into our culture? What could it make you feel?

It's March (how is it already March?!) which means it's time for some more indie gems! Here's a list of some of my favourite #IndieGames I played in February! Remember to like and wishlist the ones you find interesting and remember to support the #IndieDev and #IndieGame

Twitch is requiring new Affiliates, before their first payment, to give government photo ID and a separate photo to Persona, the same Persona that has connections to government mass surveillance programs. When I asked Twitch support for another option, they said there isn't one. #twitch #persona 1/4

I've seen your steam backlogs. Many of you should be hosting a Previous Fest.

I remember trying the Virtual Boy in a Toys R Us when it was brand new. It’s the only time I remember getting proper neck pain before I turned 30. Love the resurgence but it was a wonky/busted idea when it launched and I’m surprised how excited people are for a 1:1 copy.
