Jeffrey Rousseau

Hello, I'm still on the hunt for work opportunities. I have nearly a decade of experience with business, tech, gaming, and culture reporting for major sites. You can find the entirety of my portfolio below. Please feel free to reach out for any opportunities. Thank you authory.com/JeffreyRouss...

New from me. Talked to @sam.robotsfightingdinosaurs.com about his game Die on this Hill and it's uncanny resemblance to a new game from Jackbox, Debate and Switch

last one for today, and i repeat, THAT'S LIKE SIXTY DEVIL MAY CRY 3S

ended up on an extremely weird site while trying to look up some basic information a couple of weeks ago and it sent me down a deep rabbit hole www.eurogamer.net/ai-fan-wikis...

Accessibility menus and gameplay modifiers are crucial for lots of gamers — but what if they were also a little silly? Here's @nicoleclark.bsky.social on how Yacht Club Games developed Mina the Hollower's now-iconic mods menu:

With the World Series, NFL, NHL, and NBA back, if you're in the games industry and looking for a place to talk sports - DM me! Devs, PR, and media welcome! This space has been the most social space I have been in a long time and I really appreciate it all <3

The Atlanta Dream lost last night & the Miami Heat are 0-4. Damn Basketball gods what did I do???

Appreciate the reporting on real concerns and the honesty from those interviewed

Help us reach our goal either because you want a zine, or because you want to torture me by forcing us to make a zine, as I am a man who still carries the trauma of nights surrounded by envelopes

I spoke to the mom of the 3-year-old soccer star who was left "thinking he did something wrong" after a league official called police "due to a disturbance between parents" The youth sports league said they launched a review and reached out to the family

Gonna be really funny (sad) when 1 day & reporters do an ad read for polymarket before or after a "so these players & coaches were gambling" story

Oshun, for Medium a few years back

Dolphins got a W before the Heat. 🙃

Man, is it really gonna take 1-2 business weeks before the Miami Heat win its first game of the season???????

Good game Valkyries 🥲

Don't you worry pastor.

WNBA finals game 4 let's go

More people upfront about adopting *real* radical politics

remember folks, next time you interview anyone at ea you should extremely be asking them about their new owners they might not answer, but as a journalist you should feel obliged to ask

And in true NBA season fashion we lose the season opener. NBA is back baby

That's wins in a row for the Dream dawg. Angel once again wasn't having it

what exactly DOES happen to materials from a major studio that’s closed? where do physical hard drives, documents, etc go? who maintains all this pointless secrecy? if you know or have stories, get in touch: nathan@aftermath.site, nathangrayson.666 (signal), aftermathdotsite@proton.me (proton mail)

wrote about penguin colony and boycotts meaning something

NBA is back & so is the season long slander

Alright, I'm make some time to play that Penguin Colony joint. Seen enough analysis from folks whose words I tend to nod along with.

I’m thrilled to announce Final Fantasy Resonance is terrific, and devastated to announce Vaan is one of the most useful visions in the game. Thanks to GI for letting me review it! ❤️❤️❤️

Principled morals

Dawg, Angel said hell nah after game 1 & went AWF

Glad to have built discernment & reliable news sources when I need non Wetsern news analysis on international protests.

As we wait for the Rockstar tribunal to resume, here's another speech from one of the fired workers as they demonstrated outside the hearing. This is Jacob Jones, formerly an Associate Game Designer on GTA VI's open world team:

My Cyberpunk: Edgerunners 2 review. gizmodo.com/cyberpunk-ed...

Good social commentary game

why is the video game industry so weird about crediting everyone who worked on a video game

I feel every time anyone writes "developed with a core team of XX" about a game, they have a responsibility to write "developed by YY developers with only XX developers being employed"

icymi, wrote about penguin game and what it has to say about mythmaking!

Why do we keep on doing this? Praising a 'small core team' for a game with 1100+ people in the credits is incredibly misleading. This PR narrative hurts, hides the massive shadow workforce of outsourced developers and testers, and sets impossible standards for actual indie teams.

"the most important thing to do is the right thing correctly" thanks for that tip.

Aye yoooo

it is almost that time of year in where game journalists do their best games of the year list and its all AAA games and the one indie friend their friend made
