After reporting the news, games media must now grapple with what the call to boycott Xbox means for us. I wrote about why we must and how we can orient games writing towards liberation. Games nor words alone will save us, but we can as individuals express solidarity and possibility in all we do.

Point from this convo that I will repeat in the future next time someone’s mad at me is that a review is not written to convince the reader a game is X, it’s to convince the reader that I the critic think a game is X.

An intrusive thought eye sometimes have is wondering what would happen if I walked into the middle of prospect park, near the dog beach, and played the trumpet call from mahler 5 to activate all the hunting dogs. The main reason I don’t is someone with the right to critique my playing would hear it.

Only advice for the devs is ask you PR their stipulation for sending code and when you expect turnaround on coverage.

An actual hot take: Too many authors are afraid of editors watering down their voice or whatever and not afraid enough of editors letting you put any old slop on the page.

Due to a new bill signed by NC Governor Josh Stein (a Democrat), the moratorium on our state's death penalties has been ended and may now proceed via *any* method. Welcome back, barbarity.

In the book, my essay “The False Evolution of Execution Methods” will be accompanied by a new essay by Lyle May. May interrogates capital punishment from his singular perspective; he has been incarcerated on North Carolina’s death row for over twenty years.

good video hope the mainstream conversation shifts but also people (me) have been saying this monopoly will be as bad as all the others since the beginning! to crunchyroll's credit though, most monopolies don't usually fumble their own bag so bad.
