It can feel like facing a wall of pessimism when reading and thinking about the future of games, so I’m deeply thankful for Despelote and Many Nights a Whisper reminding me of the human heart of the medium that will never go away. You can’t stop people telling stories with the forms they love.

i don’t think game journalists should have to be internet personalities to survive tbh. good writing isn’t just entertainment, it’s boring stuff like “gets on the phone to fact check something” and “knows where to look for Weird stuff” and “has a personality marginalized people feel safe talking to”

In addition to the very correct echoes of support independent media as someone who works for a site with subscriptions support dependent media too (please, if you can) find the writers you like no matter where they are and click their stuff, toss em a few bucks to keep 'em alive.

Needless to say I will no longer be contributing to Giant Bomb. Nothing but love to all the wonderful people from there and GameSpot. Jeff was a workhorse and a hero for the way he shouldered so much responsibility there, and I am furious with the way execs treated him. We aren’t going anywhere.

Killing all gaming media on the eve of a big console launch and a few months before what will likely be the biggest video game of all time is smart and well thought-out business from people that definitely do not spend all day eating their own shit.

I'm getting more sad about getting laid off. My work means so much to me. I'm a really good reporter. I've been getting scoops every single week lately, while also doing in-depth, award-winning reporting. I have good ideas! New email: [email protected] www.polygon.com/23776996/bar...

the company that just bought Polygon, Valnet, was recently the subject of an absolutely damning exposé about horrendous labor practices www.thewrap.com/valnet-labor...

Just woke up to this news, need to be a little more awake to fully process it, but the people I worked with at Polygon are some of the most kind, insightful, and passionate people I’ve ever had the pleasure of knowing. Support them wherever they end up. Also, fuck whoever made this decision.

the contrast between the journalists at 60 minutes who are risking their careers for their independence and the white house correspondents chuckling at nerdprom about how they helped trump get elected is pretty jarring and infuriating

he really didn't cave. there's still a blanket 10% tariff on all imports (this is a lot!) and he cranked china's up to 125% (this is a preposterous amount!). i cannot emphasize enough how much he did not cave

New from me As much as we're caught up wondering about what tariffs will do to our 401ks all the little creators, the small businesses that are the literal life blood of our country are being choked nigh unto death by these tariffs. All the creature comforts we enjoy from their labor will disappear.

The idea that the federal government can go before a judge and say, “Yeah we arrested the wrong guy, but too bad, so sad” is not alarming nearly enough people yet.

HUGE caveat that it's extremely fucked up that a large portion of the US will be radicalized by the switch 2 preorder delay, and not everything happening in Gaza. But it's kinda wild Switch 2 preorder delay announcement might make it into kids US history books in a couple decades

It’s sad this is what it takes but when American society is dominated by “I only care about my money” or “I don’t care at all. It doesn’t affect me” fucking with people’s money is the one thing that can unite us. The selfish people are mad and the idc crowd is affected.

Mario Kart World is probably the game I always wanted Mario Kart to become, and god damn I wish it was just coming to the original Switch cus the uncertainty of getting new hardware right away and the expense to get it sucks so much joy out of it.

It's weird to have elected leaders who say they want to crash the economy, reinstate segregation, strip human rights and create a perpetual underclass and then have people ask why are they doing this are they bad at economics ?
