omg I can finally talk about this WHICH ONE OF YOU MONSTER HUNTER QUEST TITLE GIVERS IS A FAN OF ROMANTASY?!?!?!? You know the quest I'm talking about. Which one of you.... please I want to shake your hand.

Met with a student today who I could just tell is going through it. He was genuinely so surprised that I was so accommodating in my deadlines and such. Do other professors not care about their students? That's just so foreign to me.

Ohhhh you're in grad school for writing? I bet you read really scholarly books! What I actually read:

Definitely going to be playing this tomorrow. Fahmi was one of the most beloved storytellers in gaming, and for good reason. I'm probably gonna lose it with this, but it'll be worth it.

I got to play this today. While I can't say anything about my impressions or mention specifics, I followed 1047 since they were VERY small and it's been awesome to witness their growth! I'm very excited to play the alpha with you all!

Splitgate 2 alpha begins Feb 27

Reminder! I am open and looking for freelance work in video game news/guides/features! I have 7 years of experience in the esports/gaming journalism industry. Specifically searching for an outlet looking for Splitgate 2 coverage, and indie games! DMs open, and email in bio!

Finally Ziero's face got updated and now Serena's got her man back 😭

I started grad school last week to get my degree in writing... but I'm still not quite over the sadness of knowing I'll never be a full time journalist. I do still freelance and I have new career goals, but having and then losing my dream job still affects me almost every day.

This too! Holy shit this looks amazing!!! Woman POC protagonist? Sign me the FUCK up! This looks like the story is going to be so compelling! 2025 suddenly got stacked really fast lol www.youtube.com/watch?v=klgw...

HIGH FANTASY!? IN MY VIDEO GAMES?!?!!? GIVE IT TO MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE www.youtube.com/watch?v=b6YN...

In my car waiting to go into the #onyxstorm midnight release party and thinking about how the last time I did this it was for Breaking Dawn and now I feel old.... But at least I get to enjoy my dragon smut tonight 😂

A problematic plugin for #FF14 is raising some serious concerns about privacy and stalking. www.pcgamesn.com/final-fantas...

Back to screaming about player safety in FFXIV. I do not like writing about mods, but this one is incredibly problematic. FFXIV players, please be careful out there <3 www.pcgamesn.com/final-fantas...

Why do video games cost so much to make these days? A recent NYT article pinned bloated budgets on the graphical arms race, but that's only a small part of the equation. The real problem? Rampant mismanagement. This week's column is a spicy one: www.bloomberg.com/news/newslet...

Ever just write a poem at 2am that makes you cry? No? Just me? Hm.

Bruh I know Wicked was a great movie because I paid $16 to go see it in theaters. They want $20 to RENT IT ONLINE?!?! They're basically asking for it to be pirated jfc.

I can't decide whether I want to praise this book to the heavens or throw it across the room and that's probably a good thing.

Her husband picks her up all the time. Usually bridal style, unlike this one. If anyone else touches her they're likely to meet the floor because he will pummel. 😂

This just made me really emotional. I was getting ready to toss a full notebook I used for work from 2022 to early 2024. I found this page, which was the basis of the article that (I'd like to think) changed the #FFXIV blacklist. Here's the resulting article: dotesports.com/ff/news/fina...

QOTD: What is your most anticipated indie game for 2025? Mine: store.steampowered.com/app/2133760/...

Bout to go without pay for a month because you-know-who is throwing a tantrum. Someone give him his baba and put him the fuck to bed jfc

I just bought Coffee Talk so fast. WHO IS CUTTING ONIONS??? It's on sale on steam for $6.50 right now btw.

I call Neva Emotional Damage: The Game, so it's fitting it won this award. I have never been so emotionally impacted by a game in my life. Super deserving of this award and I can't wait to be emotionally wrecked by Nomada's next title.

@armannobari.bsky.social just introduced Able To Play, a new way to discover accessible games.

I loved this game!!! Really happy to see it win debut game. Not only did it have really fun mechanics and a bunch to do, but the dialogue was good too!

Tonight is the night where indies and the human beings behind the games take center stage. The Indie Game Awards, an awards-only love letter to the scene, debut tonight at 4PM PT / 7PM ET on IGN, YouTube, and The IGAs Website. Watch: www.indiegameawards.gg Steam Event: bit.ly/igasteam2024

Got the con flu and didn't even go to the con. Send soup 🤧

As a college professor, I really hate the end of the semester when I see students who I tried really hard to help fail the course. I will bend over backwards for students who communicate with me ahead of time... but I can't help the ones that don't and it feels so bad.

Look at yourself in the mirror Distorted, but I see that you're Crying while you're dancing A story beat gpose from my RP =3 #FFXIV | #gpose | #gposers
