I thought Galactic Racer looked awesome from the moment it was announced and it is indeed awesome, to the point that I wondered why fusing arcade racing with roguelike mechanics hasn't really been done before in a big way

I always think of this graph and remind myself "It's great that I get to do this as a paid hobby because there is no way to have kids and a mortgage and do this full time"

Jacob Geller is no longer a part of MinnMax. He won't be on content moving forward and we won't be publicly airing this week's episode of The MinnMax Show. We're in shock and deeply hurt. Thank you for your patience during this sensitive time.

journalism tech and landscape and market has completely and entirely upended and changed and shifted over the last two decades and yet people still make the sausage

invest in people! it's the one and only constant

Over the last several years publications actively avoided building up their writers, not letting them become a big attraction. But that’s what people want from critics! A voice they know and trust. This is also a good safeguard for when that access doesn’t come!

in retrospect, i think my only mistake here was saying there'd be new flavors

We planted so many unique corn varieties—like demonic, zombie, goblin, groovy, vampiric, and primitive-futuristic. Isn’t nature amazing?

wrote about CONTROL RESONANT and all of the ways its imagery fluctuates and shapeshifts, almost as much as the actual buildings and roads do (which is a lot, it's awesome)

it has been an honor and privilege to field ashley's wild pitches and edit her even wilder copy. in a field full of stellar talent jockeying to be heard, ashley's voice remains absolutely one of a kind. to use her own words, i am fly-swatted to see her go. let our loss be your gain: hire ashley

Well, as I often say on fajita night, THAT'S A WRAP! I am, as of eight minutes ago, no longer news editor of Game Developer.

I’ve been playing a bunch of The Witcher 3 Remastered - and it’s overall an impressive update, especially for something unprompted. And it’s also made me think about how I wish we could return to older games more. I’ll have a full review on GamesRadar later this week - taking my time

just for context: doing this will get you fired as a games journalist

Only 100 functioning Silent Hill: Townfall CRTVs were made, sent out to different influencers before the games release, and someone's already selling theirs for over $300 😬 It's a cute toy, but savage to be like "I do not need it".

every couple weeks there's some version of "can't believe you haven't heard of this specific popular thing" as if culture hasn't shattered into 60 million microcosms
