  1. #Mixtape < a giant abyss < #Dispatch

    IGN scores are just a joke. They gave 9 to Dispatch, and 6 to #CrimsonDesert.

    Sorry but their scores mean nothing, and are meant to create rage content around.

  6. At least Google did the right thing: killing ai-driven sites like The Escapist or Videogamer.

    In other words, these don't appear on search result, so that's great. Now do something about YouTube AI Slop.

  11. #MorganPark is the epitomy of #GameJournalism.

    Apostate. Gullible. Meretricious. Ignorant.

    Well, the fault is on #PCGamer side since they hired him to publish on their platform.

    I hope they replace him with #AI soon.

  12. Polygon alumni Maddy Myers and Zoë Hannah are launching a new gaming publication! Instant subscribe from me at the early bird rate which I think is still available until tomorrow. In this age where #GameJournalism is imploding and venerable outlets are being strip-mined and driven into the ground by huge companies for a quick buck, it's never been more important to support independent work like this.

  13. Vox Media Sells Polygon to Valnet Amid Layoffs.

    Vox Media has sold its gaming site Polygon to Valnet, owner of ScreenRant and GameRant. While some staff will stay, others have been laid off, including former EIC Chris Plante. The move comes amid economic uncertainty and shifts in the gaming industry.

  14. I'm not someone who celebrates people being laid off.

    I'm someone who celebrates pieces of shit being laid off.

    I'm sure the good journalists among the bunch will be able to get a new job on media one way or another. The rest can put the fucking fries in the bag.

  15. Really good #blog post from Alli 👏

    "Gaming isn’t broken. The way people engage with it is, but that can change."

    I'm glad I was able to witness the development of games from the 16-bit era onwards. But despite all the problems in today's industry, gaming has more to offer than ever before.

  16. Given that they are not a media super-outlet, would an error message like this mean a DDOS attack possibly?

    Consolidation in the media industry isn't good because of the opinion-forming power media holds. It's happening in media which covers the games industry too.

  18. @Doomed_Daniel Sorry Daniel. I'm not familiar enough with the actual historical events of the "gamergate" reference to understand what you're asking me (let alone answer it).

    But my main take-away from the video, and the main reason for my original post, is that traditional journalism publications covering the games industry, *for whatever reason*, seem to be injecting stuff that is not game/gameplay related into their writings in order to change gamers into whatever it is they think we should be.

    Okay I know this is a 6 month old video, but I just saw it and I now feel like removing all traditional publication type outlets from my sources of news. Anyone care to share one way or another?

  20. Hi #fediverse! I thought I would #askfedi and my peoplemaking.games homies for reactions/recommendation to the RSS feed I put together for myself. I wanted it focused on games and gamedev news. Your thoughts would be very much appreciated!

  21. i'm not back, i'm just posting this link…
    "When there is nothing more left for them to take"
    nathalielawhead.com/candybox/w
    "Game journalism and game crit is notorious for not being able to take criticism. Everything gets lumped together with gamergate. I can see why, but at the same time that very inclination gets leveraged against their victims too."

  22. i’m getting harassed over it again so i’m taking the opportunity to share this (again) and say that i told the truth about him nathalielawhead.com/candybox/a
    #GameJournalism #Kotaku #AftermathSite a bunch of tags because 🖕 to the journalist clique responsible for abusing this

  23. saw her put on my timeline again so i’m reminding you all that Cecilia D’ Anastasia is an abusive journalist that lies to and misleads her sources:
    nathalielawhead.com/candybox/a
    she nearly cost a source their life in the past, & lied in other stories during her time at kotaku.
    no consequence for any of this.

  24. here’s a powerful piece of valid criticisms toward game critics & journalism.
    it puts a lot into words that i struggled with. it’s also incredibly thorough.

    my story was referenced too. it meant a lot to see this stance. this is honest with backbone.

  25. Rewrote a #Blog post from years ago.

    It is about #TimRogers

    The first draft was written right after my diagnosis and I was still pretty psychotic.

    So I rewrote a big chunk of it.

    It is extremely short right around eight hundred words.

    the piece it titled - What if Oedipus was my dad? (a reframing of the past).

  26. Hey, game journos! When you're writing articles about something in a game that doesn't relate to the ending... Can you please NOT SPOIL THE ENDING?

  27. A very good essay by Nathan Brown for his newsletter Hit Points, on what means the rise of generative AI for game journalism and what we can expect from here.

    It is not extremely hopeful, but I do love (and agree with) the conclusion :

    If I am trying to sell you on anything, dear reader, it’s a concept; a shift in mindset, an untangling of the hard-wired expectation that Good Internet Things should always be free. We’ve tried that, for decades now, and I think it’s time we tried something else.

  28. CW: Old book anniversary

    Ten years ago today I released my first #book Killing is Harmless about Yager's Spec Ops: The Line. It's probably fair to say it changed my life, and forms the foundations for everything I now do professionally--both in terms of how it analyses the game and in terms of what I now see as its major blindspots.

    Look, it's nearly midnight and I just realised it's the anniversary and I quickly wrote a twitter thread about it so I'm going to crosspost just this once sorry: twitter.com/BRKeogh/status/159

    You can still access the book for PWYW here: brkeogh.itch.io/killing-is-har
