i started my own video game blog ❤️‍🩹 there will be poems, essays, and, if i keep forgetting to take my vitamin d, more experimental writing. my first post—about making my dead by daylight survivor dress like me—is up now 🫧🔪

i ❤️ everyone who works at kotaku but i fucking hated working there 🤘🏽4 posts a day or die. upper mgmt had no understanding of kotaku’s tenuous legacy in GG history, let alone what a game is. G/O is a closed, angry loop. bad 👍🏼 and jimbo didn’t want us to cover zelda. stupid 👍🏼

baby’s first layoffs ❤️ my job at kotaku has been, in layman’s terms, nerfed! please reach out to me with any and all opps—as long as you let me use a curse word, i’ll write something smart for u

last week, i played the first three hours of @BlooberTeam’s silent hill 2 remake and… i thought it was incredible. it looks great, feels good, and the small tweaks to gameplay and narrative are smart and subtle. SH2 seems to play like a dream…… or i mean…. a nightmare 🙊🤍🔪

the coolest it girl of 2023 is not gabriette, sydney sweeney, jennie kim, julia fox…. it’s heather mason from a silent hill game made 20 yrs ago. 🦋🍿🦋 let me explain:

my fav game informer covers 🪷 i love seeing video game characters (see-through pieces of dreams & imagination!) get the glossy mag, model treatment for the sake of discussion. we live in an ugly timeline, but i'm confident ppl will always build pretty monuments to imagination

every day, i set aside 30 minutes to meditate on how “8th grader who twitch streams sopranos episodes in minecraft (sponsored by domino’s)” is now a more viable career than “journalist”

learned about this from tiktok, where the victim’s daughter had made multiple videos on the subject. everything from the day the LiS character went missing to the location of her tattoos matches the real woman’s info. when does borrowing from real life become violating?

when the kotaku domain is inevitably sold to an AI generated porn bot i hope the wokeism freaks are cool with its pronouns

just so we’re all on the same page, there are no writers who actually enjoy their work being plastered with 1 million phone-crashing diabetes ads 😇

it's fascinating that g*mergaters have managed to capture a new cultural attitude: taking everything personally and turning it into a thumbnail. they'll discover a wasp nest in their attic and then make a youtube video like Did KOTAKU DEI SabotAGE my heterosexual wife's ATTIC????
