This interview I'm currently transcribing ended very politely

If this hits 100k I will be *quite pleased*.
I would like to put this prediction on the record: at some point before season 3 HBO will announce The Pitt: Night Shift as a spin-off. Same set, different cast with some overlap. Shorter seasons, definitely the “B” series, but still great. Shawn Hatosy is the lead. I would like this to happen.
A new game mag! Featuring great art & an article by our own @jickle.net.

I actually didn’t have to destroy myself to write this book and have been very pleased with the publisher’s support, but that should not stop you from buying it!

Made a pilgrimage to the great Murray Bridge bunyip, always a true delight
@mikesholars.bsky.social Mike it was funny to wake up this morning with a follow from you because I am most of the way through your Parappa book right now. It’s so good! I love it!
I have loved this series and want an ecosystem where this sort of game can thrive, and it is *very* clear that there is a remit here to make a game that is extremely cost-effective and fan service-y. Very likely a difficult project for the team and there is some good work here. But, offt.
Hate to say it while I am mid-play-for-review but Life is Strange Reunion is one of the most spiritually juiceless games I have played in a long time. An astonishingly compromised and desperate experience. Impossible to imagine that anyone working on this was super stoked with the concept.
Anthony Albanese had to address the nation to remind us what his name is so when people ask us we don’t have to say “uhhh” and take a second to remember it
Announcing our 41st book! @mossrc.bsky.social tells the story of the making of AGE OF EMPIRES.

The only tracker truly immune from AI integration is a physical whiteboard!
Can’t wait to pay $1500 for the PS6, which I will use to play the five Sony exclusives released over eight years and a bunch of smaller games that would have worked just fine on the PS4 with some minor cutbacks
I have seen quite a bit of Adventure Time and like it a lot! But I was not as familiar with Regular Show's level of game
A big revelation from doing creative work that has ended up in front of critics over the last few years is that I am totally fine with and unhurt by negative reviews of things I have worked on as long as they don’t accuse anyone of being lazy
Yes please!
I am about 20 years behind here but I have been working my way through Regular Show and this show is truly one of the greats?? My emotional investment in this bird and raccoon could not be higher
I am working on an article about the role and function of games journalism and criticism, from the perspective of game developers - I have a list of folks to reach out to, but also if you are a game dev with some thoughts on this my DMs are open
45 minutes left to back us!!! Aaaaaaaa what a ride, so thankful to our community & everyone who shared, backed, played, left feedback — and a big shout out to @nogamesforgenocide.com for coming with us on this wild glorious journey ✊🏽⚖️🔥

I will come on and talk about Whitaker, who is my son
I basically think the whole thing so far is true pantheon “one of the all-time greats” stuff
All I want to talk about is The Pitt
This game looks *so* good and has been a bit off my radar for whatever reason
Still chuffed about the name GUTSPILL but can’t believe we didn’t think of bing bong 😠
CONTINUE is really exciting me about games writing here. And hey! If you would like to consume some Australian-made video game magazine while you wait… can I 🙃 make a suggestion: picolitre.press/shop/p/pre-o...
*Every single game* on my Steam wishlist is currently on sale, which is a bit dangerous.
In the same vein as how we keep relitigating the word "content" I think we maybe need to have a referendum of developers talking about their own games as "slop"
I was honestly astonished by that joke, I was laughing about it for days afterwards
Hell. I'm so sorry, Jason!
Cool economic situation where I get annoyed when rates go up but also have this weird sense of guilt about the fact that I was able to buy a house at all even though I think having a secure home should be considered a fundamental human right?? Good times, everything's fine, a Snickers costs $3 now
