My local DSA chapter in the SF Bay Area put out a really helpful voter guide for the 2026 midterm elections. It’s a really helpful run through of what’s on the ballot. 👍🏽

its deeply upsetting that we've become so accustomed to giant tech platforms abandoning any kind of responsibility for moderation that people just default to strategies to protect themselves but valve makes BILLIONS from steam, they should be the ones protecting the products on their shopfront!

Truly, TRULY wonder how much of the BIOWARE IS GAY AND MAKES GAY THINGS perception plus wanting to make new owners (aka, government of SA) happy is at play. bsky.app/profile/jaso...

New article from on Engadget! I really dug my recent hands-on with Stranger Than Heaven. I was very mixed on it back at SGF 2026, but I felt way more into it after getting better context on what this game is really all about.
We played several hours of Sega's next big crime-thriller, and so far the Like a Dragon series is getting its most bold entry to date.

Given the flood of AI produced junk on store fronts, I feel that media round ups and recommendations from friends are more important than ever to properly spotlight the games that need to find their audience.
A new Steam Next Fest is live, and we've pulled fourteen demos that are worth your time www.rogue.site/editorials/r...
Great, great casting, and I'm glad it's an animated show. The Tom King Mister Miracle comic this is taking inspiration from is fantastic, and I hope they do it proper justice.
Welcoming Josh Hutcherson as Mister Miracle and Mackenzie Davis as Big Barda in @tomking.bsky.social forthcoming animated DCU series from DC Studios and Warner Bros. Animation, #MisterMiracle.

Update: WE ARE BACK IN! We can post again. This was utter bullshit on the biggest early vote effort in history. But it will not stop what we're building. No Kings means no kings in the White House or in Silicon Valley.
Update: about 4 hours later and we still don't have admin access so we still can't post to the No Kings instagram account. This isn't slowing down the the 3,000+ early vote events today. We will drive the biggest early vote in history. But this should be a flashing alarm about what's to come.

Pleased I was able to surface this. If you also think labour reporting is important please consider supporting @verticalslice.news!
Absolutely repugnant behavior.

I was bummed out that my favorite Andor music theme wasn't on the S2 soundtrack, but I'm glad it got uploaded to YT. It's a Nicholas Britell track, so it's of course very soulful and melancholic. Man, I still love this series a lot. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gl8T...

Still looking for writing work! Been about four months. I know everything is on fire, but still looking.
If anyone is looking to hire a Peabody and BAFTA winning senior writer, I am looking for work. I’ve got six years experience in games. Everything from indie to AAA. I am not married to staying in games. I am hoping to relocate to the Bay Area. I am keeping my ears to the ground.
