Michael 'Brawler1993' Beckwith

I knew I had to write something Hundred Line related for the @startmenu.bsky.social Winter Spectacular. As always, a massive thanks to @lexluddy.xyz for giving this piece a home and to @kellymerka.bsky.social for editing it.

Virtue and a Sledgehammer is an equally angsty and somber exploration of the complex relationship between love and hate, asking big questions about the enduring nature of humanity without shying away from confronting our destructive nature. My review: gamersocialclub.ca/2026/10/27/v...

I’ve had this one in the works for a bit, so it’s great to see it finally live ☺️

I’m working on a project where I’m looking to reach out and build connections with individuals, teams, and organizations on the continent and abroad to spotlight/represent the African #gaming & #esports market and its influences in video games, gaming culture and more.

Hit the point in Onimusha where the game keeps suggesting I lower the difficulty or put the action prompts on but my stubborn ass is gonna kindly ignore them

Omg no, he was so young. Damn. He was such a talented voice actor. It’s on the mind because I literally just watched it yesterday, but he got asked to do the taken monologue as porky pig and its a masterpiece

Happy three year anniversary, kids. I hope the other side of the cabin door is everything you ever could have hoped it would be.

I'm still very early into the new Onimusha and wow Musashi's facial animations might be the best I've seen in any video game.

How is everyone getting those profile link buttons on Bluesky? The option's not showing up for me.

As a Zero Escape fan, this is the gooooood shit. Especially how it analyses Zero Time Dilemma, easily the most contentious lot of the three games. I also just love the title and how the opening paragraphs read a bit like a Zero Escape character giving one of their monologues.

Personally wasn't a fan of BioWare's stuff but man it shutting alongside Id Software getting nuked has really made things quite apparent this year huh. Monumental losses.

Resharing this as I think we should shout as loud as possible about the work we do in the current climate. Showing retro gaming articles and reviews like this some love help more than you think. www.gamesradar.com/hardware/ret...

Yo @rhithewitch.bsky.social @ashlikeadragon.bsky.social our Jet the Hawk cosplayer made it in!

still encountering folks who haven’t played this one and i have to stress that it is clever to the point of stupidity

Every gothic horror:

"oh someone else will buy bioware or fund new studios or get the IP" WITH WHOSE MONEY

this is going to happen to literally everything the PIF buys by the way. snk will disappear. evo will disappear. EA will, eventually, disappear.

This always felt inevitable considering how the studio's been treated under EA since Anthem but Christ what a shock to the system this is.

hey, i guess we're good to say we're in this now? i wrote about trans genocide. and also tied it in with something else that made anyone who read the essay tell me it was a 'gut punch' (positive) pick up lock on 7 to read it and many, many other incredible essays

I went hands on with Stranger Than Heaven last week. Despite my issues with RGG nowadays, I wanted to give this a fair shake but, man, this is shaping up to be a thoroughly mediocre experience. metro.co.uk/2026/10/21/s...

Fuck this. I hate this government so fucking much. Fascist pricks willing to sell us and our dignity to oversea Nazis. I am non-binary. I don't need a government document to tell me that. Eat shit and go fuck yourself. www.rte.ie/news/2026/10...

Looking forward for the manga since it will be done by Sabu sensei #sayonaralara #goodbyelara #laramari #yuri #さよならララ

Everyone complaining about the new Castlevania should give PoP: The Lost Crown a go if they haven't already. That game deserved so much better.

This is me but for Final Fantasy Resonance.

wrote about penguin colony and boycotts meaning something

In retrospect, it's weird I never obsessively latched onto the Ryuko/Mako ship. They have the exact sort of yuri dynamic that appeals to me

I reviewed Stupid Never Dies. I had hoped in my early impressions that the game's ambitious gameplay ideas and structure would coalesce into something special. They did not. gamersocialclub.ca/2026/10/19/s...

Just noticed I'm on one of those games journo starter packs. No clue how long that's been the case but shout out to @brianbarnett.bsky.social for kindly adding me

i haaaate hate hate to do this but the government has fucked me over some more w my disability aid. If you're able to share this msg around, I'd be so grateful. Rn I don't have enough for food and I had to buy OTC pain meds because my doctor refused mine. www.paypal.me/quirkycat Thank you

Candidates need to run ads declaring “The US Government Won’t Let You See Your Precious Umas”

Seen a lot of discussions lately about how journalists in games media need to shift to being independent to carry on, but the perspective often missing from that is that the ability to do that comes with immense privilege that a lot of disabled and chronically ill writers do not have.
