It's great seeing just how many people and outlets are doing great, well researched, independent tabletop journalism (or something like it). Give this a watch
I've been really enjoying creating these essay-type videos - researching, scripting, learning how to edit. A few people have referred to this one as 'journalism' which I find unsettling for various reasons but I understand it was intended as a compliment. Anyway you should watch it, it's good
Great summary of a long, slow breakdown at the altar of Line Goes Up. EUphoria is a class act.

To all the vegetarians, or people who think the cattle industry has a negative impact on the environment, I have one question: Could you go an entire day without eating any bacon, chicken, beef, or any type of meat? Imagine everywhere only stocked vegetarian alternatives - how would you cope?
Guys like this don’t realize that they are the freak
I have a cold and I'm being super dramatic about it Boo hoo

Holy shit. @michellicopter.bsky.social’s call was the reason I applied, along with @newmadras.bsky.social’s reminder in the Indie RPG Newsletter not to edit yourself off the page from these things. To everyone who voted for a nobody who feels a lot about games: Thank you, thank you.
Congratulations to the 2027 ENNIES Judges: Hector Alejandro Perez Gonzalez, James Surano, Janice Cheng, William Beeson, Zalea Liu
Come for a deepdive into a curious awards case, stay for banger quotes such as "Constant growth being measure of success is a capitalist lie". This video is great!
In 2025 the CRiT Awards announced that winners would receive prizes provided by sponsors. A year later, the prizes haven't appeared. Michelle asked sponsors, winners, and the CRiT Awards team what happened - grab a cup of tea and a biscuit and settle in to hear the whole story.

August is Romani Holocaust Memorial Month - hugest thanks to @euphoriaap.bsky.social for hosting me to talk about this important topic, my own response through TTRPGs, the symbol of the sunflower for Roma, and the work of Roma Holocaust survivor, artist, and poet Ceija Stojka💚💖💙
We had the pleasure of chatting with @glitzydemon.itch.io about their game 'A Field of Sunflowers: In Memory of the Roma Holocaust' and how sunflowers can bring laughter. This interview will be available on August 3rd on our YouTube and streaming on our Twitch at 7pm BST/8pm CEST
You might remember me asking if anyone got the prizes I donated as sponsor for the CRiT Awards. Michelle reached out to me and other sponsors and recorded this very well done video!

I fear that now I've realised every time I get fixated on a topic I can make a video about it, there will be no stopping me

Now available on YouTube: the final part of Querent - Canis Coda: Fall of the Udesians. The world that was built with Microscope now crumbles to darkness in Ten Candles with @lithiarch.bsky.social, @finleyjinley.bsky.social, @thechindividual.bsky.social, & @vengaboy.bsky.social.
Ten Candles - Querent | cross-system actual play two-shot
At the end of the world known as Udes, three survivors reckon with the darkening of the stars, the loss of their connections, and the final quietening of their music. Ten Candles is a tragic horror…

‘We went out into the stars and what did it bring us? Where are the stars now?’ The end is coming, howling, devouring. Join us tonight for Ten Candles.
I really hope everyone in the TTRPG space watches this video – maybe 2 or 3 times. You might well get pissed off by some of it, but we ALL need to talk about this. And maybe even DO something. (And NOT just the actual play people.) Thank you, @michellicopter.bsky.social, for every bit of this.
