Finally with AI we have automated the worst parts of the human experience: reading, writing, thinking, and making art

Did some Japan today

Rare: You finish that underwater level theme for the new Donkey Kong? David Wise: Sure did boss, real fuckin melancholy just like you asked. Rare: what

I so hope this is true but what does this look like without Japan Studio

PR people and devs, I’m covering on the IGN news team until the end of the year. You can get me on my personal email: kirkules.mck(at)gmail.com

another day in the layoff industry

Games media cuts have felt unending for a while, but the mood feels especially grim among indie outlets with the latest wave of layoffs. More than ever, if the game industry values its media, it needs to support them. Buy some advertising, sponsor content, purchase subs. It makes a big difference.

We're hiring! We're looking for a Writer and Narrative Designer to join the Fallen London team at a senior or mid level. This position is permanent, remote, and full time, which for us means 35 hours a week. #GamesJobs

i am going to regret what this is going to do to my inbox but it's The Busy Time so: if you're a freelancer that covers games and don't ALREADY hear from GR+ editors on the regular, hit me up: rollin dot bishop at futurenet dot com

I’ve been really missing Oxventure recently, they were my introduction into D&D and why I started playing TTRPGs. The first campaign I ran was Blades in the Dark because of their series, and I loved the shift to something more serious with Wyrdwood. Hope this isn’t a permanent hiatus

If you are a parent playing Wolverine who feels like they are enjoying/appreciating it in ways unique to being a parent gamer with limited time and energy I would love to chat for a potential short feature ethan.gach@kotaku.com

Game critics, if you ever struggle to review a game in the meager time allotted to you, let PR know in an email. We can take that feedback and incorporate it into reports. Doesn't mean a CEO/director will see reason, but it's at least one more way we can fight to make things better for next time.

When "white sauce" in fish pie Contains cheese, it’s a lie. That’s a mornay.

It's TIME! TO! GET! HYPE! Today, I get to proudly unveil Steam Hype, the project I've been working on with the help of @hookshot.media for the past two and a half months. A new PC gaming site which aims to demystify PC gaming, cut through the 100+ daily releases and spotlight indies as much as AAA

Holy shit

every device should strive to be more like the Gameboy Advance SP

incredible magazine cover

Hello hello

Huh how weird they must have forgotten to add StarCraft 3 to this somewhere?

This has also meant that I’m finally able to play Dark Dawn Tell you what, this is excellent so far, feels like a great evolution of the GS formula

This has had me thinking about what Nintendo franchises have been missing from the Switch/Switch 2 era, which would be fun to have back Golden Sun Wario Land Dillon's Rolling Western Chibi-Robo Earthbound Kid Icarus Punch-Out It'd be particularly cool to see Camelot going back to their JRPG roots

Took me nearly 25 years but I finally finished Golden Sun: The Lost Age! Picked it up on GBA as a kid and loved it because it was basically Pokemon with swords, but never made it very far at all

Hey, Project C has a name! PRECOGNITION. Excited to be collaborating with newly launched @kineticpub.bsky.social on this, our wildest ride yet!

Come on let us cheat just a little as a treat

Big news! @apzonerunner.com and I have launched a new video games website. @respec.net is our attempt to create a highly curated multi-format site that has that club feel you used to get from the best magazines (and frankly, my beloved VideoGamer back in the day) www.respec.net/feature/87-w...

This is SO good

This sucks!

Increasingly feels like the games industry is telling me to just go play outside

Big position up for grabs for UK folks - Eurogamer is hiring a News Editor:

The whiplash this past week regarding everything Xbox is among the most extreme I can recall seeing in the games industry. Going from a hopeful, exciting showcase to the worst possible news. The absurdity of all this is staggering. :(

Evergreen

South of Midnight is one of the coolest games to come out in the last few years, this sucks so bad

New NCG alert

Games are great fun when you're just messing around with them and not thinking about absolutely anything else even slightly related to them.

Finished this up last night and it's so damn good, really glad to see it's doing well
