Hey there! I’m writing about Spiel Essen for Rascal News and am looking to chat with TTRPG folks who are exhibiting at the convention in October. Let me know if you’re willing to chat with me about your experiences! Hit me up please: kheehoon(at)rascal.news

Umurangi Generation captured the collective angst of successive generations inheriting a broken world prepared for them like a shit sandwich. Here's my story for Remap about the developer's follow-up, Penguin Colony https://remapradio.com/articles/penguin-colony-wants-the-world-to-open-its-eyes/

remapradio.comPenguin Colony Wants the World to Open Its EyesHow a video game about waddling forward past Lovecraftian horrors is also, somehow, about the collective sins of humanity.

I’ve attempted to report on the Freeplay Parallels 2026 situation as comprehensively as I can at this point in time, over one week later. I’ve received comments from the Melbourne International Games Week organising team on the matter, and Wren has also provided some new remarks.

This Week in Videogames - TWIV@thisweekinvideogames.com

Australian indie game community organisation Freeplay has been accused of discrimination following the removal of a sponsor hours before its annual showcase event. The organisers of Melbourne International Games Week, which it was part of, have called it "a clear breach" of its code of conduct.

600 words is nowhere near enough for the audacious, frequently brilliant Penguin Colony. But I hope there's enough here to pique your interest: brave the howling Antarctic, I say, and bear witness to spectacular cosmic horror — & Nazis eating one another alive. www.theguardian.com/games/2026/o...

it was smart of jacob geller to only post about what he did to his 50k followers on here instead of to his 1.5 million youtube subs or on his patreon. that way fewer people know about it and he limits the financial hit

Earlier this week, I agreed to interviews with two USA Today journalists. They wrote fantastic articles about the Cornell case that I'm proud to have been a part of. What I did not know is that their employer considers interviews to proprietary and opens up recordings to be used by any journalist.

I reviewed Umurangi Generation for Gamespot years ago and I would be eager to review this again - please keep me in mind when commissioning, please www.gamespot.com/reviews/umur...

Replying to @midimyers.com

if you aren't already supporting @mothership.blog, you should be. support women and queer people in video game criticism and journalism. we deserve to exist in these spaces but, at least in the case of mothership, we can only exist and pay our writers and introduce you to new writers if YOU help us.

Hey videogame devs/PR folks please do not spam my Rascal email with videogame press releases........... I'll not read it and it drowns out other emails for tabletop games. if you want to add me to your mailing list you can just ask me first!

:) i love rain world so much... insane that i've gotten to work on two book length projects.

Lost In Cult@lostincult.co.uk

Written by @gracemachine.bsky.social, Rain World: Design Works covers everything from the game's earliest builds right through to its post-launch support and modding communities. www.lostincult.co.uk/rainworld

Watching whatever PMG produced makes me yearn for doing investigative features again, but the fact that poor pay, coupled with the possibility of harassment and lack of support (legal or otherwise), just makes it impossible to consider doing so as a freelancer

Nurse Hammam and his brother need our help to survive the genocide in Gaza. He braves the horrors of the war daily to keep Gazans alive, and the helpers of the people of Palestine need help too. Help his brother afford his seizure medication and help them afford food and shelter.

Cåråbine à Citron 🍋@carabinacitron.eurosky.social

Hammam is a volunteer humanitarian nurse treating Gaza's wounded since the war began. He needs our help: his family is starving & homeless, and his brother is disabled & suffers from severe seizures. Any donation -even small ones- can help get food & medical care. chuffed.org/project/1844...

I have an unusual opportunity: I've been offered the opportunity to display the visual art of a tabletop roleplaying game in one of our campus galleries for 6 months. What game and artists (including layout designers) would you recommend? We'd need to be able to set this up quickly!
