I don’t think we quite appreciate how consequential Kotaku’s revitalization under new ownership, after being dragged to the absolute brink by Great Hill, is for the industry. It proves what many of us knew in our hearts; bad management is the beating heart of digital media’s woes.
With the help of the Sandy Hook families, The Onion has reached a long-awaited deal to take over InfoWars.
We've enlisted the help of @timheidecker.bsky.social, who will be InfoWars' Creative Director.
Please stand by for more.

Trying to do more drawing again. The rule is I can't spend more than an hour on it or I spend all day tweaking and shading
A comprehensive table of which fictional detectives could and could not solve the Hanged Man case from Disco Elysium. Brum the living car could not solve the case
Feel like this is fairly definitive #DiscoElysium
Not sure it's up your street but Witch Dance is a deceptively complex click'em'up with maybe the strongest 'one more go' compulsion of anything I've played in ages

Wrote a little something about games set in the North of England. Come for the recommendations, stay for the digression about why the UK's type G plugs are the best in the world

Many thanks to @midimyers.com and @zoehhannah.com for the excellent edits and for the oppportunity to talk about mental health and its depiction in games

Lost a good amount of time today to #WitchDance, a bullet hell-ish click 'em up that might be the best One More Go game I've played in years

Perhaps it should come as no surprise that Unemployment Simulator 2018 (which actually came out in 2026) is a horror-survival game. Here's @chrissutcliffe.bsky.social's review:
BBC Verify analysis found more than 1,400 buildings had been destroyed since 2 March based on verified visual evidence, but because of limited access and available satellite imagery this is just a snapshot of the damage caused. The true scale is likely much higher
Absolutely the best tutorial in gaming. A vertical slice that's interesting and relevant to the main story, and also somehow teaches the core mechanics without it feeling forced. Absolutely magic

And from speaking to other people for the piece I think this is one of those near-universal aspects of the diagnosis that doesn't really get spoken about as much. I'm v v lucky in that I have a great (but sus) support network so I don't want to moan. Hopefully the article (out soon) explains it all
You know they love you, but you also know you're worthless, so anything positive they say is a well-meant lie. Every compliment is suspect by its nature, while at the same time every criticism is inherently true and legit
Got quite a personal piece coming out soon about my anxiety/depression diagnosis and gaming. One thing I didn't have space for in there is how it impacts your self-worth over time, and how that in turn affects your relationship with the people you love. Namely, it makes what they say dead sus
