Skybox has a new goal: $250 a month in subs. We're at $185 now, thanks to a few $1 heroes who saw this thread and subscribed. Bless y'all. I believe we can do $65 more a month. If we get there, I will start a monthly column and we'll put together a week of themed pieces for y'all. Sound good?

Hey, let's talk about money and @skyboxcritics.com, because unless you're one of the big indie outlets, money's hard: Right now, Skybox makes about $180 a month from our Patreon. That's it. That's not a lot! In fact, it doesn't cover our operating costs! Skybox has never made a profit. Ever. 🧵
Just try to tell me they're not building up to a Smash Bros movie with that Luigi knee

Hear me out, what if the mysterious Game Awards statue is a Pokémon thing? - gamepressure.com
Yeah, probably not. But there is one new detail from today's Mega Dimension DLC for Pokémon Legends: Z-A that looks surprisingly similar to that statue.

Actually hyped for @capcomusa.com’s Pragmata after previewing it at SGF. Definitely checking out the demo. Here’s my thoughts from SGF: www.gamepressure.com/newsroom/cap...
Capcom's Pragmata feels like it draws inspiration from survival horror, hacking combat mechanic makes every encounter into a puzzle - gamepressure.com
When I played Pragmata last weekend at SGF, I wasn't sure what to expect. But comparing its puzzle-like combat mechanics to Resident Evil wasn't on my list.

The crazy statue in the desert pobably isn't related to Miss Piggy? Ok, sure
Dispatch by @adhocstudio.com had already convinced me I needed to replay it before I played all eight episodes. This is an incredible debut, and I can't wait to see what else this team creates in the future. Season 2 when??? Read my full review on Gamepressure: www.gamepressure.com/editorials/r...
Dispatch review: Feeling the weight of your choices - gamepressure.com
Episodic video games are back, but it’s not Telltale this time. AdHoc Studio has burst onto the scene with their superhero sitcom, Dispatch, which might be one of the best games of the year.

POTENTIAL #Dispatch SPOILERS AHEAD I just finished my first playthrough and was curious how things could have gone differently. Saw some conversations that struck me as odd.

If you don't have any plans for the weekend, might I suggest bothering our corporate overlords to stop taking away our video games? #videogames #steam #itch.io #indiegames www.gamepressure.com/newsroom/how...

They are taking our video games away. Steam and itch.io have been forced to make changes. But there are a few ways you can make your voice heard.
