Magic folks!

I'll be at Magic Con Vegas, and alongside playing some games, I'm looking to chat with any Pauper players in attendance for a video - on what drew you to Pauper, why you play, and your favorite decks - to shed some light on it for the GI viewership.

If you're interested, let's chat!

Design Room is six months-old (and we're having a sale) Six months in, we look back at what we've gotten up to so far, look ahead at what's coming up, and announce a subscription sale.

We just passed our six-month anniversary, so it seems like a good time to check in and post a sale on subscriptions.

I don't engage with gamer discourse, but whatever is going on with Pragmata is making me actively hate video games as a whole

I am baffled at the scope of this Tekken 8 patch. I thought it was just going to hot fix things, not nerf 95% of the cast (which is good)

I love this game to the point that I cannot play it anymore. It would just inhabit my life in ways I don't think I can ethically allow at my age

Ahead of my NYU talk on the history/future of games journalism, I want to test a theory about how small/big games media is:

Please share links to where you get games reporting/criticism.

They can be a site, blog, YouTuber, streamer, social handle, podcast. They must be places/people you trust.

So I was just laid off from Vicariously.

If you‘ve got an opening in PR/marketing and want to hire someone who does good work and has a family to support, I’m your guy.

Any reposts super appreciated.
