What if someone could pay to influence discussions on Reddit, one of the most impactful social media platforms today? What if they could promote a product or political ideology—or make sure no one ever saw it? Thanks to Blake Lively, I found out they could. spitfirenews.com/p/the-blake-...

With the news of Wonder Woman’s cancellation and the closure of Monolith Productions, I must unfortunately add my voice to the growing chorus of writers looking for work. Before I do, however, I want to encourage recruiters to consider not only myself, but my colleagues.

think everyone should know David Zaslav got paid $49.7 million dollars last year, a 26% increase from the year before. for no particular reason

BREAKING: Warner Bros. Games is shutting down Monolith Productions, Player First Games, and WB San Diego, sources tell Bloomberg News. Warner Bros. is also canceling the Wonder Woman game.

My first freelance byline over at @aftermath.site is talking about the ups-and-downs of #Overwatch 's new Perks system; what is great, what sucks, and what is confusing about all of these changes aftermath.site/overwatch-2-...

“Yk the choreography goes hard af when the rehearsal video is just as captivating as the finished music video,” I think aloud after watching the Abracadabra rehearsal video

Re-visited Cairn last stream to properly beat the demo (old computer couldn’t stay alive long enough). Still gorgeous, still stressful, only one moment where I think I shouldnt have fallen amid the several times I did, play the demo if you can: youtu.be/69PBGNxnNPM?...

another big update from me! i've been sitting on this for a week, unsure of how to write this up.. but i've gotten the total cost for my top surgery, which is $19.6k. i can't raise this money alone, even with all of the work i do, so i've made a gofundme. gofund.me/954d116c

Unity cut ties with over 1,700 workers and closed 23 offices in 2024 The engine maker spent $214 million on a colossal restructuring program that resulted in widespread layoffs www.gamedeveloper.com/business/uni...

Hima-Ten! really is at its best when Himari and Iemori act like awkward newlyweds I fear

Goodlands demo is a good time

If I had a nickel for every time Ive heard someone say “Are we playing the same game?” while talking about Avowed reviews, I’d have two nickels. It’s not a lot but the tone in both instances made me laugh a lot

As companies like Meta, Google, and Amazon follow President Trump’s moves to roll back diversity initiatives, trans and genderqueer devs worry their already struggling industry could follow suit.

Thanks for everything, and almost nothing, Mr. Bones: youtu.be/UnxNOVsoyUU?...

Thank god my brain is in planning mode again, I forget that there’s a part of me that really needs lists and schedules. If my to-dos are not put down on paper, they run the danger of falling into the abyss between thoughts, never to be heard again until they escape my brain to punch me in the face

Last year, I reported that Bungie had fired former exec Chris Barrett for misconduct. Barrett then sued for wrongful termination, which surprised me given that I'd seen his texts to subordinates and figured Bungie could publish them in response. Which they now have. www.scribd.com/document/830...

I'm actively looking for a new role, ideally outside of journalism and fully remote. If you wouldn't mind resharing my LinkedIn post I'd be most grateful. 🙏🏼 www.linkedin.com/posts/aendra...

Funny thing about playing 2 roguelike demos from 2 studios under the same publisher, within days of each other, is that Im still playing as a wronged woman who needs to leave a fist dent in some royalty’s face. The way Im doing it has some distinct differences though, thats for sure

Im glad that @kaizengameworks.com’s Promise Mascot Agency figured out that some of the best comedy is everyone bullying hot men about anything and everything they do. Pinky is on Michi 24/7 😭

Do this, and this might be obvious but also double check the expiration dates when they arrive. The free ones I got in 2024 had expired before I even ordered them

I love being called silly and sporty and functionally fashionable and taking personality quizzes meant to give me compliments

the lesson here is do not under any circumstances make a corporation a good game. dont make them a bad game either. what should you make? well its not exactly clear

This level of malice towards your workers is jaw-dropping, this is like seeing a racecar driving smoothly at 200 mph and mid-turn hitting the eject button for the driver’s seat. Seriously, what even is this choice

wow, this is bad! i spoke to thaddeus at SGF and his presence, along with the other members of the NA team that got culled, seemed important re: communications w/ disney. absolutely awful to see another round of layoffs regardless.

today is the day! my book, stream big, is out now! it tells the story of twitch through the lens of nine different streamers large and small. it’s the product of five years of research, reporting, and writing, and I’m really proud of it www.simonandschuster.com/books/Stream...

Oh damn Prime actually published their failed chatgpt prompt in the description

VOD cutdown from last night for those interested in violent die throws in the world of Random: youtu.be/DNycrkdHkP8?...

Late night test of where skill and luck meet as I check out more of Lost In Random: Eternal Die - twitch.tv/exalclaw

I FINALLY WON BALATROOOO, THANK YOU MR. BONES 😭🙏🏿 I haven’t seen a win left up to chance like this so in a minute, even with Mr. Bones the Crimson Heart boss could’ve disabled him. Literal nail-biter

I NOT ONLY FINALLY BEAT THEM, I BEAT THEM ON THE FIRST TRY WHEN I FACED THEM THE SECOND TIME HAHAHHAHA anyways Im very excited for this full release now

SCOOP: The top US election security watchdog has frozen all of its efforts to aid states in securing elections. The move represents the first major example of the country’s cyber defense agency accommodating Trump’s false claims of election fraud and online censorship.

The Hidden Inventory arc really is that good, genuinely a reminder of why I need to watch certain series even if Ive read the manga already. The urgency tends to disappear when I have, but this bangs

Welp Lost In Random: Eternal Die just stole 2 hours out of nowhere. Once this thing starts going it does not stop, I dont even like roguelites like that. Also I want to smash Aleks’ fifth cousins heads together because WHY DID THEY BOTH START BOXING ME LIKE THIS IS JJK
