Red Tower done. Big Walk continues to rule. Also, thank goodness for the infrared item finder. It’s a terrific contingency plan for “dad, I accidentally threw the red thing” while trekikkng through dense woods.
Day 2 of the Sub-a-thon continues!! Blown away by the response to this! Sincerely thank you to everyone has reached out about the layoffs. It's means the world. Twitch.tv/Mamavitelli
Putting on the Mets during a Phillies rain delay is brave. Could cause a national incident. Marlins.
So I’m reviewing Madden 27 for IGN. That is a thing I get to say. My review in progress is live: www.ign.com/articles/mad...

Anyone laid off from @restart.run, now and as always, if I can offer you a feature slot at @unwinnable.com to help keep your feet under you or to explore some critical angle that's never made sense for a games site, I'd be more than happy to!
Well, it happened again. The entire editorial team at Restart, myself included, was laid off today. With that, my time in games media has also come to an end. After 20 years, helping to build and run multiple sites, and experiencing numerous layoffs, I just don’t have it in me anymore.
So we found out this morning that everyone - myself included - from Restart's editorial staff has been let go. After like six layoffs in six years, that gif is my unfortunate reaction. Looking! For! Opportunities! I guess I'm open for freelance for a while!
Everyone at Restart was let go today, so another layoff for me in the span of a month. Editors, I'll be at PAX West and I'm looking to fill my schedule with (paid) opportunities.
Phillies home game + Smackdown at Wells Fargo (not calling it the other name) = quite an eclectic mix of folks at Stateside Live
Fuck. Restart was cool. The staff there was cool. This really sucks.
I was laid off from Restart today, alongside my wonderful and talented co-workers. Sucks to write, but here we are. Lots of ways you can help, but I'm currently live with a lay-off subathon where you can come and chat and sub to keep the timer going to give me some cash Twitch.tv/MamaVitelli

Was just reminded of the time Mike Ybarra took a swing at me (without knowing it was me, granted)
My goofy ass is reviewing two games at the same time and both codes came in today with no embargo lol woof
If y'all are looking for Marvel Tokon coverage and haven't heard: Review codes weren't provided until launch when the servers officially went live (the beta was a bit shaky, I assume they needed time to fix things). But don't worry. This game is too sick to not cover. We'll get ya vids soon.

After a cardiologist appointment, the doctor informed me I was fine by instructing me to "call your wife and tell her to go on lunch break before you get home, you can work up a sweat no problem." Unfortunately, "I was prescribed sexy time, doctor's orders" didn't work on her 😂
A question from Reddit that I'll answer here: "What's the most unhinged thing a doctor has said to you with a straight face?"
I know GTA is a monolith, but man i hope Nintendo, PlayStation, Xbox, or others don’t get any ideas from “hiding a Direct-style presentation behind a streaming service’s paywall.”
Well deserved. Where else can Timeless Toni Storm become friends with Jessie from Pokemon because they both are big fans of @janochoa.bsky.social?
Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream has already outsold its 3DS predecessor, Nintendo says. The previous Tomodachi Life was the 11th best selling game on the 3DS, but the Switch sequel has overtaken it after three months. www.videogameschronicle.com/news/tomodac...
Any MTG creators that happen to follow me, you should have Joe on your shows. The man has forgotten more about Tolkien than I’ll ever know.
Pretending I’m a content creator because I’m so fricking excited for The Hobbit.

My friend Jon sent me this short from Gavin. I really like it. Turned my mood on rulebreaker almost instantly. www.youtube.com/shorts/A9GHt...
