So I've spent quite a bit of time in MoAT now...what would people do if I said this is my current GOTY pick

Who gets to punch Nazis in a video game?

This week my fiancée and I are doing our tasting for the wedding menu after which I will promptly leave her for the evening because I have tickets to go see the gundam movie

Despite its blockbuster story, Monster Hunter Wilds is one of the chillest games I've played in a bit. It is practically a cozy game to me. A perfect zone out experience that's less about conquering nature as it is becoming part of its natural order. My review. www.digitaltrends.com/gaming/monst...

my latest for Polygon -- i spent an extensive amount of time with MHW. I ended up contemplating how Wilds and World, with their more global appeal also lean towards more colonial narratives in relation to themes and how the player engages with the world passively through gameplay.

My first* @aftermath.site piece is (surprise surprise) about a manga series I've been digging by Yasuda Kasumi on @viz.com called Fool Night and how its peak dystopian fiction. aftermath.site/a-manga-abou...

Mets win first spring training game with a Soto home run during his first at bat? We are so back

My new column at Unwinnable is an interview series! Critics on criticism, the written word, and the games they’re writing about. First up is Nic Reuben on Eliot, cartography, and reviewing Final Fantasy VII Rebirth. Interviews are transcribed. ✅ This is not a podcast. ❌ You could be next. 🫵🏻

I’m the same height as Nico Robin, fyi

Shoutout to the woman who stopped me while I was ordering a drink to tell me she loved tall women

I've wanted to write a retrospective review on Revolutionary Girl Utena since before my layoff but other shows and such came up, I was stuck on episode 13, and I didn't really know what more I could add about a seminal show. Now I do. UTENA IS LYNCHIAN AS HELL gizmodo.com/revolutionar...

Will be writing about this but short story is Cabernet is great! A fantastic vampire adventure that really digs into the different things the monster represents to our society. Weirdly we do not have enough truly good vampire games, but Cabernet helps fix that problem.

Take flight! #lizandthebluebird #リズと青い鳥

Public comment is now open for passport gender marker changes. You can go here to go to each of the three proposed passport rules, and submit comment. My suggestion: be unique, argue for trans-inclusive policies, against the constitutionality of the changes, etc. www.reddit.com/r/Passports/...

Im playing Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition. It’s my first time with it and I’m struck by how good time has been to a game that the definitive edition doesn’t change much about. Mira is a gorgeous alien world and getting lost in it is delightful www.digitaltrends.com/gaming/xenob...

Just reminding everyone that there is already a Final Fantasy TCG with incredible art old and new from series illustrators? And it's been going on long enough that they don't just play the hits. There's stuff in here for the real freaks. The Crystal Chronicles and Dimensions freaks.

New girl mode X-men episode idea just dropped

Talking about Bobby Drake with my fiancée (as one does) and she just said “he’s the best at what he does and what he does is make ice” This really made us laugh.

hello cis friends this is what people mean by trans genocide if a type of person does not officially exist, then any harm against them cannot be measured or reported this headline change isn't even being caused by an executive order it's simply the NYT editors deciding we don't deserve to exist

The game that is basically MMO dungeons with MOBA heroes is even better than when I played it several months ago. www.polygon.com/impressions/...

Now it just says “person”

Met someone at a party who is getting married at my dream wedding venue (which I am NOT getting married at) and the rage I feel is insane

Everytime someone unnecessarily revives the Roger Ebert game drama for no real reason an angel loses its wings

With Captain America: Brave New World's release, remember that the BDS movement has called on us to boycott it, and all Marvel products. Do not pay money to see that film, and do not play or give money to Marvel Rivals or any other Marvel game. Free Palestine! 🇵🇸✊🏽

Hey y'all, remember when @deuxdel.bsky.social, @airy.bsky.social and I created a fun, powerful trans superhero in GALAXY: THE PRETTIEST STAR? And it was the first time a trans character from the Big Two was a title character? And she had a awesome girlfriend? That was cool.

To clarify this was LIVE theater. What are we doing?!? The Broadway league needs to get a Patti LuPone clone in every theater to crack down on this.

We need to bring back shaming people for using phones at the theater
