Massive shoutout as always to @danstapleton.bsky.social for making my writing sound fully coherent and less like the ramblings of a sleep-deprived lunatic.

NBA 2K26 Review in Progress - IGN

Is it that time of the year again? Why, yes, friends, yes it is. It’s the latest entry in (literally) the one-and-only basketball sim series everyone has no choice but to love, NBA 2K26! Read words here: www.ign.com/articles/nba.... Then maybe grab a beer/non-alcoholic bev after. It’s the weekend.

Correction: We did hear the battle theme, but without the chanting monk, and it didn’t hit the same. I’m not mad, just disappointed

Whoops you’re right, I guess I was more disappointed that I didn’t hear the chanting monk lol

We…we didn’t get to hear the Metaphor battle theme. I’m devastated and my day is ruined

Might as well book Best Score for Intergalactic The Heretic Prophet right now. Nine Inch Nails are you kidding me??

Strike that, make it three. What a run

Metaphor winning in a couple of stacked categories so far, can I grt a hell yeah

I like the Guardians of the Galaxy vibe The Outer Worlds 2 is going for in its trailer. Hoping it’s more polished at launch than the first game

I am extremely grateful and excited to be part of @safeinourworld.bsky.social’s Ambassador Class of 2025!!

So happy I get to work with such a brilliant and inspiring team, and I can’t wait to see what the new year has in store for all of us!

Yeah Marvel Rivals is gonna be my entire personality for the next few weeks

Witchbrook, Crescent County, Citizen Sleeper 2, Slay the Spire 2, Civ VII, etc etc etc. 2025 is gonna be so hype

Angsty high school me would be glad to see my number one artist

Gutted about XDefiant shutting down cause I genuinely enjoyed it at launch. But there really wasn’t anything separating it from the pack and it’s another cause of being too late to the party

My Life As a Homeless Man in America An extraordinary firsthand account.

This was so beautifully written and one of the best things I’ve read this year

I’m just excited I get to hear the Metaphor ReFantazio battle theme performed live at TGA

In the Philippines, we’d call that Tyson v Paul match “luto,” meaning ‘cooked.’ But in Filipino slang, it can also mean a ‘fixed match,’ and both of those definitions somehow apply here

$5 for a 'flash news' post of 250 words is absolutely ridiculous

It’s defo rough right now. I saw Lost in Cult put out a pitch call recently. Haven’t seen any others, but I’ll let you know if I do

Is anybody currently looking for freelance writers? Lost a lot of work recently and I'm looking to fill a Christmas-shaped hole. Got experience in news, reviews , features & guides, and would love to take some more stuff over the coming months. Reposts greatly appreciated.

The artwork in Pokemon TCG Pocket is gorgeous

My first unpaid review was for a visual novel called A Clockwork Ley-line: Daybreak of Remnants Shadow.

First paid one was for NBA 2K23!

It's bad out there! What's your favorite piece of writing about games this year?

A Prominent Accessibility Advocate Worked With Studios and Inspired Change. But She Never Actually Existed. - IGN In the years since the alleged death of beloved accessibility advocate Susan Banks, mounting evidence and accounts from those close to her work suggest that she was not the person she claimed to be.

Crucial album that put me on to J. Cole. His feature on A Star is Born is still one of my favorites

We need a @nibellion.bsky.social comeback to really kick things off here

Tips for moving from Xitter to Bluesky Before you start following people, fill out your profile! Bio, PFP, banner, and post at least 5 to 10 things. Just reuse your top 10 banger tweets—recycling is encouraged! This way, when people see you followed them and they check your profile, they’ll know what you are about and might follow back. Turn off NSFW filters in Moderation > Content Filtering Find your friends using a tool like skeet.labnotes.org or Sky Follower Bridge. Not perfect, but they’ll find the majority of the people you were following. Turn on “show posts from my feeds” in Settings > Home Feed Preferences. This will add random posts from them to your main feed, but tweaked to your liking, no ads and BS. I recommend the Catch Up feed (kinda like a “best of”). Tweak Reply Filters to something that works for you, also at Settings > Home Feed Preferences. This shows replies from people you follow to anyone else on your main feed...
