I've been researching allegations regarding the founder and leadership of AbleGamers. From alleged abuse and harassment, financial mismanagement, and failure of leadership to protect employees, sources recount a hostile environment. Read my latest @ign.com story here: www.ign.com/articles/for...

Anyone watching me play AC:S is losing their mind because I will pet every dog and cat that crosses my path.

Assassin's Creed Shadows awakens the millennial urge to go to Japan in me. The last time I played Assassin's Creed was AC3, so this has been an awesome return to the series for me so far.

Oh well, guess I'll move to Jellyfin. I already pay 5/month for Plex Pass because I genuinely like Plex. But I don't really feel like Plex offers me enough value to justify the increase.

If you have a PS5/PS4 that's gathering dust because you don't really like playing games from your sofa or you want flexibility in where you play, check out Chiaki-ng. It's a third party app for Remote Play and it works SO well on PC and Steam Deck that I sometimes forget its not running on device.

In the past I didn’t post many pics, but the weight loss journey continues and I’ve lost nearly 100KG total. So allow me to gloat this once 🙂

Rest in peace one of two social media platforms I genuinely enjoy. Because it’s basically MSN messenger.

This but unironically. The loss of mid-budget mid-scope handheld AAA games is a BIG loss to #gamedev. So many studios got their boots off the ground this way and now that sector is pretty much dead, in favor of co-dev on BIGGER and PRETTIER productions that do not recoup - leading to layoffs 😭

The state of the games industry and job hunting when I see even Marvel Rivals isn't immune to layoffs has got me thinkin' about this classic again. I just wanna make rad stuff with cool people again, y'all.

Finally put out this excessively granular piece on SWG Legends' open-world apartment system, which is amazing and unique in MMOs but kinda underused, and I hope they can fix it. Thinking about doing GW2 next because it's such a great example of spectacular housing that is weirdly just not for me.
