This is great! I’d rather have Roth do “his thing” in a virtual world that is already garbage and alt-pulp then at work making actually interesting and beautiful places into another gorey, porny playground.

Good piece here that goes some ways itself to move discussion forward. In the end, I am not entirely sure what you are trying to change with this piece. Is it about the quantity of debate or the topics we are debating?

Thanks for your inspiring work here! Best of luck and be reading you someplace else, sometime soon!

Wow... Layoffs are always sad news because jobs are lost, but I’d really hoped to see more from the TTRPG division from a creative point of view.

Really!? Do you have a link for that?

Thanks, Maddy, for this reflection and the many others you’ve written and things you’ve done that make games and, by extension, our societies and cultures a better place.
I truly hope you will continue to do the excellent work you do for many more decades, yet will be able to look back on the coming decade as being as…

Missed a short discussion of joycon drift in here, which for me and many other Switch owners was an actual thing.

Historic footage! It features a sane Rudi Gulliani who promises to find out what happened here. History also repeats: then and now Gulliani is looking into matters on account of a dangerous windbag filled with hot air!

Yes, how? Why? What’s the story here?

This is a smart move by Valve!

You should also try playing Five-finger Tetris: five teenieweenie digits enter a sleeve and five come out, if four or less come out that means permadeath by the hands of an enraged family member.

For what it’s worth, you all make the better burgers!

A review of the review here, so basically a very ignorable  bit of meta commentary, albeit meant constructively.

F and F again, for F's sake

Just to chip in, you should try TLoU MP. It’s genuinely a new and mechanically solid experience.

Thanks for this, Luke!

Thanks for this deep delve into the history of this revolutionary form of play.

Ah, true that! Thanks! :-)

Wow... That’s kind of big news. With Double Fine in Microsoft’s stable, Insomniac was really one of the last large, independent studios.

Tl;DR Ubi’s games are already political, but after reading this I am not holding my breath that their approach to this will be more consistent going forward.
