YAAAAY congrats!!! 🥹🎉

More than 20 years ago. Same as it ever was.

There’s this random level in WarioLand 4, where the there’s a lady singing all the way through, and I just think that’s amazing, for a GBA game.

Sad to say that my role at The Escapist is up for redundancy. Looking for further roles in games media or PR, and am also very available for freelance opportunities and mock reviews!

I have a cool interview going up tomorrow.

I'm working on a big feature about ARC Raiders & Marathon and want to talk to people currently playing ARC Raiders (I don't care if you're a hardcore or casual player). If you're up for a quick chat, please raise your hand. Shares are appreciate and would make my work easier.

ICE just gunned down ANOTHER person, beating a man half to death before shooting him at point blank range. What the fuck are we doing?

ARREST ICE NOW. PROSECUTE ICE NOW.

I will not rest until every single one of these murderers is held accountable to the communities they terrorize.

Inverse's Gaming section is being shut down as the company "divests" from gaming content. I'm out of a job along with my wonderful co-writers. I've put my heart and soul into this job for four years. Gonna need to take time to process, but I'm now completely open for work - and boy do I need it.

Just found out my wife might be losing her job, so I'm desperately searching for work. Contract, full-time, freelance, whatever. Press, PR, consulting, anything. I have 16 years of editorial experience and have been writing about games for 13. Reviews, news, previews, guides, etc. RTs appreciated.

On Sunday, January 4, KCPD arrested two members of food not bombs kc during our weekly meal share on trespassing charges. KCPD forced all FNBKC volunteers to leave the area and dispersed anyone arriving for our meal, under threat of further arrests. The police cited a loitering ordinance, alleging that members were blocking the public sidewalk.

For over 13 years, Food Not Bombs KC has been sharing 60 - 100 hot meals, groceries, and other supplies freely in the same public area on the sidewalk. Last Sunday was the first time we were unable to do so. Despite police disruption, we distributed what food and supplies we could at another location, though many of our neighbors were shooed away by police presence and were unable to find us.

We intend to continue sharing with the community, as dozens of our neighbors rely on the food we share every week. Food is a human right. We have the right to public spaces, and the right to demonstration.

We have covered the bond for our volunteers who were arrested during our meal share. Any support you can share will help us cover any additional fines, legal costs, or more bonds paid should KCPD continue to escalate.

Regarding KCPD's disruption of our weekly meal share on 1/4/2026

Steven Spielberg's Disclosure Day Gets a Massive Mural Advertisement... in Downtown Kansas City - IGN Steven Spielberg and Universal Studios would like you to know that Disclosure Day is on the way, and they're letting you know about it with a massive, buildingside mural ad. But rather than setting it...

Nova the dog gets in the way. Only her eye is visible.

Instead of a cat we have a Nova (nervous).

The A Little to the Left vinyl sits on a table while the record plays lovely tunes in the background.

Rollens and I have entered the unpacking phase of our move. @maxinfernogames.bsky.social’s A Little to the Left soundtrack has us *locked in.*

Leslie Odom Jr.'s The Christmas Tour came to KC over the weekend, and I got to see the show (and write a review).

Dude.

A dark brown and white boxer mix dog stares longingly at a flock of chickens out of frame.

Rollens and I recently had what were supposed to be some nice pictures taken but what really matters is Nova got to see chickens for the first time.

I am not sure I can properly enjoy a video game unless I am given the freedom to control a Little Guy.
