this is a late update, but i'm now living in Montreal. i lived in the USA for ten years. this is a profound change; my personal life has been difficult, my health was incredibly challenging; i'm still healing from it all. grateful to be close to family, back in canada, and in a city i dearly love. 💜

whenever something like this comes to light i feel so unsafe. most women and non-cis people i know have an abuse story. almost all of us do. i do. you probably do. that’s all i’ve got in me tonight.

I really wasn't expecting much, but Dexter Resurrection is actually quite good?? it's reminiscent of the pulpy, campy fun and dark humor of the early seasons of Dexter.

In retrospect, Obsidian getting Pentiment out there into the world before Microsoft exploded really feels like they pulled off the weirdest heist in gaming history.

Random thought I could probably write a whole essay about some time: the fact that there aren‘t more mainstream Romance video games is such a bizarre failure, like don‘t you people wanna make money? Why not cater to the infamously ever hungry audience of Romance book readers in another medium?

To escape your guilt, what… and who… would you leave on the cutting room floor? Welcome to The Final Cut of Lilith Cunningham, coming 2027.

You don't get public credits often in consulting, so it's nice to get one every once in a while. Thanks to the team at @playstack.com for letting me consult on Mortal Shell 2, along with some other cool folks!

Devastated for my former GameSpot colleagues who deserve much, much better than Fandom’s (and Red Ventures’ and CBS Interactive’s) poor leadership and short-sightedness.

Layoffs hit GameSpot again aftermath.site/gamespot-layof...

we laid off the people who develop the games, we laid off the journalists who cover the games, everyone is freelance and there’s no freelance budget. It’s probably fine though

GG to GDQ

Here is my statement on transphobia in the DFL, how I've tried to fight it, and how party leadership has allowed for it to continue: docs.google.com/document/d/e...

Games criticism owes so much to Garrett Martin. Quietly one of the most influential people in the space, a guy who was happy to publish anyone that had something interesting to say. A shame AV Club is shuttering its games coverage. End of an era, long live Paste Games
