Jesse Vitelli@mamavitelli.bsky.social · yesterdayWe’ve set up a video game hot take show inside of Big Walk. Welcome to Big Talk Our first episode is up on the Restart.Run socials IG/TikTok/YT Shorts We would love to bring more people on the show
@liveopenmike.bsky.social and I are now the editors running freelance pieces at @uploadvr.com. If you’re a game writer with a pitch for a feature story or game review, email me!
One of those things we’re gonna look back on in ten years and think, “That was bad when that happened.”

One of the great things about being an older writer is I feel zero need to use whatever stupid words everyone's using at any given time. It's very freeingslop.
Matt Caulder (They/He)@mattcaulder.com · yesterdayCan Big Walk be the game where we stop calling them "friendslop"? It's feels incredibly embarrassing that professional writers are using this term, such a dismissive attitude
This was a really fun interview.
Mike Johnson 🔜 GDC@liveopenmike.bsky.social · 2d agoThis week's @uploadvr.com Gamescast is an interview with @salmigames.bsky.social CEO Yacine Salmi. Yacine, @jamestocchio.bsky.social, & I talk about porting games to #SteamFrame, being candid about company financials in the gaming world, & Salmi's upcoming extraction FPS Drifters: Blackout Crew.
One cool thing about being alive is you can frame a picture of anyone and hang it in your house.
Florence@justflorence.bsky.social · 4d agoWent to an arcade in Halifax that had a framed portrait of Shigeru Miyamoto looking like he's about to be at the center of a murder mystery in the pacific northwest

🤣 I think it’s so funny that politicians learned they can say potty words and now they’re all just waiting for the perfect opportunity to swear on mic and I also love how much they sound like ten year olds who are a little scared to say the potty word.

One of the best games I played last year is getting a physical release! Typical perfection from Lost in Cult.
Lost In Cult@lostincult.co.uk · last wk.Sektori from @gimblll.com is an intense,fast paced twin-stick shooter infused with hard hitting techno. Focus up,for the quick runs have a lot of challenge and replay ability. Pre-order a Retail+ or EDITIONS version on Switch or PS5 and get the Sektori OST on CD www.lostincult.co.uk/shop/p/sektori
Stream Machine is great. Still prefer physical copies of games, but if the future is all digital, Steam Machine does it great.
@salem-bitch-trials.bsky.social hey I finally bought Umamamagungan Generation.
Okay, only thing I’m gonna say about MYST erasure is basically the games industry needs a universally agreed upon institution to preserve our culture and guess what it already exists so go buy every issue of @retrogamermag.bsky.social
I came across a computer today owned by someone I don’t know who last turned it on in 2004, and it gave me an uncomfortably intimate look at their life as it was then. They were a writer, heartbroken, striving, struggling through a painful time in their life and it feels horribly too familiar.
Just letting you know it is very good. Expensive yah, but really good.
Available now at bookstores in the USA, the latest Retro Gamer Magazine @retrogamermag.bsky.social has six pages on one of the oddest Mario games ever made (written by me). Plus, the endless great stuff from many other writers, editors, artists, and designers. Check it out. 🙏
I know we think the same on this one @edgarallanbro.bsky.social, and I'm wondering, is there anywhere we can chat about physical games being important that will actually mean anything to anyone?
Was walking in a river and saw this special rock underwater so I took it home and I’m wondering if any of you see why?
This is what my daughters call me about half the time.

i’m just ken@shepardcdr.bsky.social · 3w agohey so like, this is an embarrassing thing to publish as a journalist
Telling the void that we should not care how much money anything makes and these types of reports are exactly what’s wrong with video games. Anyway GTA is trash and you deserve better.
VGC@videogameschronicle.com · 3w agoAnalytics firm Newzoo says GTA 6's first week pre-orders have "kicked off the strongest pre-order campaign ever recorded". Based on its sales models, it says the game is on track to sell between 37 million and 51 million copies in its first week. www.videogameschronicle.com/news/analyti...
2026 is half gone, but there are plenty of great games still coming this year. Here's ten we're looking forward to most. Details here: www.uploadvr.com/ten-games-we...
