Ryan Plays Pokémon: Ranking every evil plan in mainline Pokémon games based on how much they would annoy me by @easbygames.bsky.social "It’s always been rather funny to me how the villain teams in Pokémon games seem to have plans that wildly vary in actual scope." Read on:

For seven years, I've had the privilege of reporting on accessibility and the disabled perspective. And now, during my seventh Disability Pride Month in this industry, I'm left wondering if this beat is coming to an end.

Surprise! I'm the new columnist at Skybox - introducing my monthly FFXIV column, Eorzea Nights. I've done so much coverage of this game, and this is a way for me to keep doing community reporting, crit, and insight into MMOs. Excited, and for a first one I'm signing on as a Wuk Lamat defender.
