My talk for the V Conference in Defence of Video game's Digital Rights is now available online (in English). If games are the art of agency, and the Anthropocene is (also) a crisis that concerns human and nonhuman agency, are games/videogames the art of the Anthropocene? youtu.be/8O2UiT0RVCY?...

Heyy, MEDITERRANEA INFERNO is getting a premium limited physical edition on PS5, published by @lostincult.co.uk and packed with exclusive perks and collectible goodies! It's also a great way to support real indie games and the innovative vision they bring to the scene, so please help me share!!

It's no secret that I love Good Videogames. We're assembling trailers almost every week for Movie Perverts Club so here are some things I have found during Steam Next Fest store.steampowered.com/app/4325460?... Tumor Necrosis factor is a Worm Based Rail Shooter

A government could also just seize the studio and do that, no need to give any more dollars to the house of Saud. In fact a government could do this for every studio and transfer it to be collectively owned and governed by the workers. For every business even, not just game studios! O:

this is a very interesting compilation of thoughts (from lots of different people) about Lara Croft. i find the continued legacy inspiring because, if this came out today, gamers would have a fit about playing her. the cultural success says a lot. this character stays relevant in lots of ways.

Tomorrow, Tomb Raider turns 30. I asked LGBTQIA+ activists, artists, content creators and intellectuals to share with me a memory or a comment about the series and its protagonist Lara Croft. Thank you to everyone who responded, including @alienmelon.bsky.social. www.gay.it/30-anni-tomb...

Indies and original IP blew up in 2026. More than half of the games that sold more than 500,000 units in their first month were the start of a new series, and 43% were indies. https://bit.ly/4i8HKl5

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"

The full team was like 1000 people. People outside of the “core team” did some major heavy lifting. This is outsourcing. What you are doing is outsourcing and then downgrading their contributions. There is nothing innovative about this.

We pioneered what we're calling 'Distributed Development', a bold new corporate strategy where we pay workers less money

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.

I'm celebrating International Archaeology Day with the final announcement trailer for Strange Finds! Dig up ruins, piece together finds, and restore the timeline of a lost civilization. Check it out below:

I don't agree with the "I want videogames developed by humans" take. I'd love to play games developed by machines. But AI games are still too human. I'm also interested in playing games developed by algorithmically remixing giant archives of readymades. But what we are seeing is just dead labour.

Always a pleasure to write for Unwinnable. My latest is a review of a pretty neat graphic novel about the great cyclist Major Taylor published by @dandq.bsky.social.

1000xRESIST is about time. 1000xRESIST is about rebellion. 1000xRESIST is about mothers and daughters and matricide. 1000xRESIST is about forgetting... 1000xRESIST is about remembering. 1000xRESIST is 40% off on Steam as part of LudoNarraCon.

NEW: Epic Games has delayed its upcoming (not yet announced) Star Wars + Marvel shooter as it pivots to complete AI game development. "No more hand-written code," a director told staff. All art "generated with full AI workflows." Full scoop: www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

one of my primary influences in this project is Anni Albers, particularly her weavings. i love her combination of minimalism, detail, and and organic textures. it's wonderful the way she draws one into seeing process as motion, and invites people to imagine how processes work internally.

@thepixelhunt.bsky.social I've sent you an email 👀

A delayed article is eventually good, a rushed article is forever bad.

hey, you should buy a physical copy of this cool ass video game that steam banned for being too cool

Yesterday's news about Jacob Geller broke my heart, so much that I couldn't stop dwelling on it all day. In an effort to make sense of this horrific news and my admittedly complicated feelings about it, here is my article on the Jacob Geller situation: epiloguegaming.com/what-do-we-d...
