Sorry for the self promo but I literally won’t have a job by the end of the year if enough people don’t subscribe. I think we’re doing good stuff!
Chris Schilling@schillingc.bsky.social · 2d agoBelatedly caught up with this (the other Firezide Chats are well worth checking out, btw) and man, it's impressive how Kirk gets his interviewees to really open up. That's not as easy as you might think; there's an art to it.
Randomly remembering that one of FFXV’s villains only exists in a limited-time Assassin’s Creed crossover event
Let me simply say, I am beyond humbled by the support y’all have shown. Never in my wildest dreams did I expect so many people to come together for us. Just… wow. Sharing this one last time, but folks have already made such a huge difference. Thank you all. ;_; <3
Quinton O'Connor@quinton.bsky.social · 2mo agoHey, everybody. I uh. Hate that I have to do this. I'd always hoped I never would. But after what's gone on with work, I'm officially At That Point. So, if you could share this around, I'd be deeply appreciative. Thanks. gofund.me/80ed923c3
I am absolutely humbled. So many of you have donated over the past 26 hours since this thing went up. I went from feeling guilty over needing to ask for help... to receiving an incredible amount of help, indeed. (And yes, I know it says "Quentyn" on there... alt spelling, LOL.) gofund.me/c0f167fba

This past week has been the worst I've gone through in quite some time but John Lizardman is here to make me happier
Derek@astralcitymini.com · 2mo agoI better not catch any of y'all dogging on John Lizardman. This guy rules.
Tony is one of the most wonderful people I know. Speaking as one of those affected at TheGamer this past week, I implore my peers to look into this opportunity.
Tony Garsow@tonygarsow.bsky.social · 2mo agoIf you were laid off from The Gamer: Killer Inn has a free trial & I want written impressions on it but struggling to find time. If you can do min 800 words on it by 6/30 I will PayPal you $100. I will edit & take care of WordPress stuff & your name will be on it. Email in bio. Questions welcome.
I love Star Trek with all my heart but I swear if the fandom isn't attacking itself it's in a race to prove which fan is older than the rest. If I had a nickel for every time someone attempted to win an internet argument by telling everyone that they've been watching since TOS...
Not certain how I feel about McCoy’s casting yet, but nice to see Miller make the trip from The Expanse to Star Trek? Are they hoping we get hyped and shout how cool it’d be to see them in a sequel series…? deadline.com/2025/12/star...
‘Star Trek: Strange New Worlds’ Casts Bones & Sulu For Final Season

We're all going to be saying "FOTOR" out loud for the next 20 years as Casey Hudson assembles a team for that hot new Star Wars game, but in the immediate aftermath of its reveal, @rhithewitch.bsky.social is having a tough time with that one
Just kinda over here reveling in seeing Final Fantasy Tactics win an award in 2025.
this person should be on a ban list. it's outrageous to let a known and prolific harasser into a ticketed industry event
kate bush’s husband@airbagged.bsky.social · 8mo agoLOL hey everyone in the industry who is at the Game Awards, the guy who has made countless videos harassing you is there!
I'm seeing some disappointment from Stargate fans over Martin Gero telling Dial the Gate that he's working on "10 episodes" for Amazon's upcoming revival. Look, I get it; there's a strong argument to be made over the damage that shorter seasons have done to sci-fi. (cont'd)
FF‘s getting an amazing fellow!
Henry Stockdale@henrystockdale.com · 8mo agoSo... I still can't believe I'm writing this. After three years with @UploadVR.com, it's surreal to say I'm stepping down after next week. Happy to say this was my choice, and I'm beyond thrilled to announce I'm joining @futurefriendsgames.com on January 12th! 👀 - medium.com/@terranauts9...
Getting tired of this. About to launch an all-cash bid for Paramount, Netflix, and Comcast combined. WBD can sort itself out. I have well over $70 USD and a mint-condition refrigerator. Shareholders deserve a chance to see just how cold my water can get. And, oh yeah, I won’t cancel movies.
One of the greatest fictional antagonists I've ever had the privilege of experiencing.
Asher Elbein@asherelbein.bsky.social · 8mo agoOne of the best-sketched characters in an incredibly character-rich show: a fascist whose (potentially real!) redeeming qualities are continually undercut by his monumental pride, bigotry, entitlement and pettiness
Jack Garland (Stranger of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origin) versus Ultima (Final Fantasy XVI) would have improved Ultima (Final Fantasy XVI) tenfold by virtue of Jack Garland (Stranger of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origin).
The funniest thing about the series premiere of Star Trek: Enterprise is that I'm pretty sure Scott Bakula thought he was playing one of the dudes from Quantum Leap who had to be convinced by Scott Bakula to stop being a complete racist
My review is up for Octopath Traveler 0! It's got some blemishes, but hot damn, it's got heart. Easily the best story in the series, and unequivocally the boldest. www.thegamer.com/octopath-tra...
Octopath Traveler 0 Review - Stay For The Story
Scattered gameplay issues aside, Octopath Traveler 0's bold storytelling and surprisingly decent town-building combine to forge a fantastic RPG.

Metroid Prime 4: Beyond is almost two decades in the making and it's arguably worth the wait? #MetroidPrime4 A faithful evolution of the series with a great world and strong characters that carried me all the way through to the end. Here's my full review: www.thegamer.com/metroid-prim...
