The Summer (Game Fest) Before The Fall (Of America) aftermath.site/summer-game-...

i quit polygon; today's my last day. back to being an intergalactic bounty hunter (full-time freelance writer)! you'll soon see my bylines elsewhere & ofc you can still hear my video game opinions on Triple Click weekly. if you've got room in your budget for me: maddymyerswrites at gmail dot com <3

Saw lots of games at SGF I haven't talked about yet, so here's a short thread! POSSESSORS (Heart Machine) Extremely slick metroidvania with a modern hellworld setting (think Devilman). Immediately just *feels* good to jump and attack. They told me the combat was inspired by Smash Bros?? Cool.

Lord forgive me, I gotta go back to the old P

Only recently found out about APWOT and was shocked I had been sleeping on such a great publication for so long!

Now up on the web, a dialogue with @jacobgeller.com! We talk about the video essay, creating tone, and How A Game Lives.

I think almost everyone will dig Mixtape but personally Ninja Gaiden 4 is going to destroy my life (positive)

Wikipedia... IS THE SUMMARY. THAT'S WHAT AN ENCYCLOPEDIA ARTICLE IS. A SUMMARY.

Very timely arrival of @jacobgeller.com’s collection of essays.

Always think about Ted Chiang's writing about accelerationism in response to stories like these (www.newyorker.com/science/anna...)

i’ve been waking up scared every day — anxious to say what i think, to push back, to share my family’s story as a first-gen american — and i don’t wish this feeling on anyone

You don’t need to be close to a cause to care about it but periodic reminder that my dad immigrated here from Mexico in the 80s, only eventually gaining citizenship. Supporting my work means supporting immigrants regardless of their status. Without them I would not be here.

There is a 1.2 million-person armed militia with active ties to white supremacist groups, no legal obligation to protect people + a frequent blank check to brutalize, intimidate, and even kill ordinary members of the public and saying this shouldn't exist is considered insanely fringe and radical

The number of children in the Salt Lake City airport coughing like they have straight up tuberculosis...pray for me (and them, I suppose)

Met some lads

don’t let them in. fuck ice. fuck fascists

this is, far and above, one of the coolest and most beautiful things i have ever held in my hands. thank you to @jacobgeller.com and all of the amazing people who worked on this for making it a reality

Don't miss @jacobgeller.com, @gameonysus.bsky.social, and @kelslewin.bsky.social on the @giantbomb.bsky.social live show with @grubb.wtf during Summer Game Fest! www.youtube.com/live/BkWSiH0...

MinnMax supports physical media, physical media supports MinnMax ♥️

My copy of “How A Game Lives” by @jacobgeller.com arrived & it looks glorious in it’s printed form, the large format and lush paper stock are a real treat & the writing within the book is superb. I had the pleasure of art directing the illustrations in the book with Jacob and they look wonderful.

han solo actually got his name by working on a game with 81 contractors

just wanna take a minute to say it’s cool to be here at SGF with @minnmax.bsky.social @gameonysus.bsky.social and @jacobgeller.com are good company

If I was a dev and I had spent years working on a game and my boss went on stage and looked like this much of a jackass I'd be so pissed

I'm like 300 feet from the stage and I still gasped at how hot Mads Mikkelsen is when he walked on stage

That lady in the Mixtape trailer was TP-ing the Donnie Darko house
