thank you Chris, that means a lot ❤️

I’ve made so many lifelong friends through GB too. A moment that’s crystalized in memory is the one time I guested on the Bombcast…because it was the same morning we found out USgamer was being shut down and couldn’t talk about it publicly yet. If I seemed off then, uhhhh that was why lmao

And Giant Bomb. An inspiration for a career talking about games, a constant companion through adulthood for me. From Bombcast to Beastcast to Blight Club, I’ve shared laughs through so many of the site’s iterations and been blessed enough to guest across a stream here and there in my media days.

I only wrote once for Polygon over my freelance years, but it’s a site I’ve always admired for the opportunities it gave young up-and-coming writers like me and how it valued quality crit and reporting. I’m so so so sad for so many of my talented friends who are now unemployed.

you’re the best toussaint and i’m so sorry ❤️

Animal Well: I’m one of those people that disables faux-scanlines in games immediately, but this title screen convinced me to leave it on. Eerie and cool

Balatro Title Screen (PC, PS4, X1, XSX, XSS, Switch) YouTube video by PressStartOnce

Balatro: The melody of the year. Hypnotizing. I could listen and watch this center card gently bounce for a bazillion hours. And frankly, I probably already have.

METAPHOR: REFANTAZIO Title Screen And Menu YouTube video by MrJacqKing

Metaphor Refantazio: A game that understands not just the power of a great title track, but also the power of holding out to an endgame thing to redeploy it. Marvelous
