who am i seeing at TwitchCon San Diego? or, if you prefer, who is going to TC?

I get asked this a lot so as a reminder: if you're new to Bluesky and looking to get your feed up to speed on game dev, do check out my "background radiation" starter pack - it basically adds 150 hand-picked accounts to your follow list from every games discipline & every perspective on game dev.

finally got around to playing reanimal...what an amazing aesthetic horror gem (i did single player mode). the art, atmosphere, and dark af plot is perfecto. not too challenging either, which is how i like my games

Like Retro arcades? 80s videogames? Miniatures? Then check out this video. More on shelf culture's tiktok page

This extraordinary post from Microsoft's head of comms appears to be in reference to an Xbox lay-off narrative by Fox News and others that does not appear to be grounded in reality

Bro really thought he could 1v1... 💀 #GIDO #partygame #highlight

i wonder what the rate of games being released on steam is compared to the rate of journalists being impacted by layoffs. i dont even want to know what the inbox of a typical remaining game journo looks like :( #indiedev #gamejournalism #inboxalypse

The number of video game journalists has fallen by nearly 300 in 2026

Plus, Xbox leaders despair at cuts, former Eurogamer editors launch new site, and Atari is building ‘the IMDB of games’

anyone up for board game night?

I created a new starter pack to highlight some cool youtube gaming channels (reviews, previews, trailers, talk, the biz, etc). You can find all types of shows here: go.bsky.app/64HpufU. See tags in 🧵 and let me know who else I should add! #indiedevs #indiegames #youtubegaming

so, what are your top 200 favorite games at Steam Next Fest so far? #SteamNextFest #NextFest #IndieGame

SO! We have ~*news*~ I officially have a job again! My old one! After a great run elsewhere I have returned to the place that started it all to deliver some championship reporting for Kotaku making me the LeBron James of Video Game Journalism which is fitting considering I live in Akron, lol

been seeing a lot of veteran pr staff posting about no longer being at Ubisoft. Who would have thought that having a depth of knowledge in a particular field would be detrimental to a person's career? ugh, hope they find new opportunities

Hello! I am absolutely delighted to say that I’m Eurogamer’s new Editor-in-Chief. Please accept my apologies in advance.

okay, im ready to start my next game. Ghost of Yotei, Resident Evil Requiem, or Pragmata?

Trying to find the right Twitch Community Meetup for you? I aggregated all the ones I could find on BSKY, so check it out: go.bsky.app/9DgKoHD

Powerpuff girls meets godzilla 4v4 style. Sound compelling? Im promoting a chaotic party game that lets your souped-up kaiju squad fuse into one single colossal creature u collectely control. U then destroy a cozy cartoonish city, rivals, and their bases. Is this something you'd beta test?

If u dont sub to the @gamesbeat.bsky.social newsletter you are missing out on @rachelkaser.bsky.social amazing 2025 Game Awards

IGN is hiring! We're looking for a US-based news editor working West Coast hours. They will report into me (hello, I'm the director of news at IGN!), and get to do all sorts of cool stuff about video games and entertainment. Lots more at the link! www.ziffdavis.com/careers/jobs...

send this to someone who's always rushing first and thinking second ❌💭 #calmdown #indiegame #kaiju #cute

21,000+ games were released on steam last year. that's just steam if you're a reporter, how many games are you pitched on any given day? im curious if this industry growth is reflected in your in-box or if a lot of devs dont market their games to press

this should be another great @shacknews.com show!
