IGN Entertainment is refusing to pay its workers the wages we deserve, even as we make #IGNLive the event that it is this weekend. So we left a message that can’t be ignored. And you should too. Let our upper management know that you support us by sending them an email here: bit.ly/4e2uUCP

When I was 10 years old, I died. Twice. I struggled with coming to terms with what happened at this time for years, until Journey came along. I still struggle with what happened, but I wanted to try to put into words how my life changed after playing this game. glizzy.au/my-journey-w...

Sorry for the back-to-back quote tweets, but I don't know how much this was ever publicized. Escapist's new owners never updated the staff page after the sale. The pre-sale writers were unceremoniously cut, and many never actually contacted or formally separated. Don't trust Escapist's staff page.

I am appalled and shocked to see that NOBODY has created a mod that replaces the Karolos Glintstone Crown with the Burger King Mascot head. Like, genuinely SHOCKED. Is this the thing that is going to lead me into learning how to mod games? ... Sadly, it could be???

Games Beaten In 2026 - Game 1: Fallout New Vegas Excellent writing, fantastic game through and through. The House Always Wins for my first ending, planning on playing through this one again in the future. Will be purchasing DLC and playing that soon. Played on: Xbox Series X

Inverse's Gaming section is being shut down as the company "divests" from gaming content. I'm out of a job along with my wonderful co-writers. I've put my heart and soul into this job for four years. Gonna need to take time to process, but I'm now completely open for work - and boy do I need it.

So, it's time to get vulnerable again. Some good news: Katie was able to go to work for the first time in almost two months this week. The bad news? She's back on the seizure train nearly every morning, because her neurologist is being stubborn about providing medication.

If you're looking for one hell of a writer, and even more of a hell of a guy, @peagle05.bsky.social should be on your radar. From Indies to AAA, he's the man. Plus, if you need sports for your site? I can't name anyone more suited to cover your Madden/CFB needs.

Who's got two thumbs and was unceremoniously booted from his job? THIS GUY. So, if anyone has a room for a writer who can handle AAA's and indie games equally well or if you have space in PR for someone looking to make a jump, my DMs are open

Good morning! First off, I want to say THANK YOU to everybody who has already donated and shared to help me out. For someone who is supposed to be a "writer", I don't have the words to properly express how grateful I am for every single one of you.

Sam is an absolutely beautiful, wonderful human being. With the state of the industry right now, all we can do is continue to support our friends during this difficult time. Even if you can't help with a donation right now, share, share, share to help spread the word.

I hate asking for help as often as I do, but as I continue to hunt for work and freelance opps, money continues to be a major struggle. I’m almost $200 in the red and want to avoid bank fees if at all possible. Anything helps, especially shares. 🩷 ko-fi.com/theverbalthing

Yesterday was an incredibly emotional day. The reception to my GoFundMe has completely and utterly shocked me beyond words, and I am incredibly thankful to every single person who has decided that I am worth their time, effort, and money.

The reception to this has had me in tears all day long. I finally feel like there's a bit of a light at the end of the tunnel, and I am so, so thankful for everyone who chipped in so far

That's why I had to make a GoFundMe. I'm still looking for work on a daily basis, and applying everywhere I can. I hate to ask for help, because I've always found a way to make things work. But right now? I feel helpless, lost, and scared. gofund.me/36d86e027

I need to be vulnerable for a moment: I need help. I've been out of work since July 2025, and I'm running low on funds. My wife has been out of work for the past 6 weeks due to daily seizures, and I'm struggling hard both financially and mentally.

Does anyone who follows me here suffer from epilepsy? My wife has been having more and more seizures as of late, and her GP has been... less than helpful, to say the least. I'm hoping that I may be able to get at least an idea of what I could do to try and help her out a bit.

Stars in the Trash by @valhallacats.bsky.social is one of my favorite platformers of all time, and as @pixcelverse.com said, it's one of those games that is deeply personal for me. It's a game that deserves your attention, especially if you're a feline fanatic like myself. Be sure to check it out!
