I've really been enjoying whatever @newmadras.bsky.social puts out on Rascal, but esp this piece that describes the state of itch.io extremely eloquently. itch has issues, but its platform - and the service it provides - is extremely unique in today's age of technofeudalism

Rascal News @rascal.news · 1d

What do technofeudalism, Chinese restaurants, and struggling game platform itch.io have in common? @newmadras.bsky.social has some thoughts, especially about the "platform" part.

Itch.io isn’t like other platforms

It’s like a 3.5 star Chinese restaurant.

Hi! I was laid off from Firaxis this morning. I wrote leaders and civs for Civilization VII (NDA for now) and Deadpool and Storm for Marvel's Midnight Suns. I also wrote the award-nominated Hindsight.

I'm available for full time, remote work starting ASAP. DMs are open:

I'm still looking for devs to chat with!

kheehoon chan @crapstacular.bsky.social · 20d

Hey game devs! Does your game have a cool parry mechanic? Want to talk to me about it? Hit me up please!

I liked the first season and didn't finish the second season (hint: sexism) but the only reason why I may consider watching this is to see Jang Eun-sil do whatever the fuck she's doing in there

But Why Tho? @butwhytho.net · 3d

In its most ambitious evolution yet, the Physical:100 franchise is returning this month with its first-ever nation-vs-nation competition, Physical Asia.

Shucks Jun that's high praise!!!

kheehoon chan @crapstacular.bsky.social · 5d

Hahahaha aww thank you!

kheehoon chan @crapstacular.bsky.social · 5d

Writing for Edge is always, always a career highlight!

kheehoon chan @crapstacular.bsky.social · 5d

Oh I love that you pointed this out

kheehoon chan @crapstacular.bsky.social · 6d

@edwardsmithwriter.bsky.social is also a tough editor but I learned so much from him editing my first draft so hard!!!

kheehoon chan @crapstacular.bsky.social · 6d

It's Edge release day, which means I can finally share that I wrote about Undertale's 10th anniversary, and how its portrayal of pacificism is honestly still pretty unmatched even a decade later. I'm very proud of the piece, and hopefully you'll get to read about it!

Edge @edgemagazine.bsky.social · 6d

Edge 416 is out now, featuring IO Interactive’s 007: First Light. For our 14-page cover story, we visit the studio to discover how its Hitman legacy paved the way, what it’s taking from the rich history of the iconic movie series, and the challenge of creating a new James Bond.

Adding my voice to the chorus: the Sumud flotilla never entered Israeli waters. that is a lie. The Gazan coast is Palestinian territory (not even spiritually, like actually in international law) so the Sumud flotilla has not violated Israeli sovereignty. The Israelis intercepting them however…

To bring this slightly closer to home - some of the activists on board are Malaysians

Little Red @little-red.bsky.social · 6d

44 CIVILIAN boats make up the Samud #Flotilla There are 23 incidents showing now - boats hit with incendiary devices, intercepted & boarded, comms knocked out, pics of #Israelisoldiers pointing guns at civilians trying to deliver aid.

Not worth reporting in the UK news apparently WTF?!! Pls share

I'm not saying I disagree, I just want someone to tell me why their parrying works - as a skeptic

kheehoon chan @crapstacular.bsky.social · 6d

I've been a parry hater since day 0 but I want someone to change my mind

kheehoon chan @crapstacular.bsky.social · 6d

Probably good to specify that this is for my freelance writing with other sites, not Rascal, so I'm referring to videogames, not analog games (although if your TTRPG has COOL PARRYING then seriously just hit me up anyway)

kheehoon chan @crapstacular.bsky.social · 6d

The dev I most want to speak to about parrying just rejected me, so I'm almost inclined to see things your way

Hi there! I would love to reach out to Odd Bug Studio for a quick interview on a story I'm working on - is there an email I can reach out to the team with? Thank you so much.

I would like to think that this is an effect of the BDS boycott but honestly if you haven't started your Xbox boycott, the second (third? fourth? whatever) best time to do so is now

Worth pointing out that Kickstarter United is NOT currently calling for a public boycott of Kickstarter's platform.

The work strike encompasses 59 "community support specialists, trust and safety analysts, marketing professionals, software engineers, and other tech workers" under the old contract.

Rascal News @rascal.news · 7d

Unionized workers with @kickstarterunited.org are poised to strike if the crowdfunding platform's management doesn't approve their new contract.

The union has demanded a four-day workweek, minimum living wage salaries, and protections against generative AI encroachment.

Kickstarter United workers will strike beginning October 2

Demands include enshrining the four-day, 32-hour work week in their contract.

In a couple days, it'll be one year of joining Rascal. I'm grateful that I get to do this job. Which is part of why I work so hard at it. Because it's a tough job when I do it well because I'm trying to tell the stories of real people and I don't want to mess that up.

Thanks for reading, folks.

Shadowrun is a unique phenomenon in the world of games. It's not the biggest game, but almost everyone’s heard of it — though what they’ve heard might not be complimentary. What's the story there? Why does it have the reputation it does?

Why do people love to hate Shadowrun?

A long-form exploration of corporations, cyberpunk, and elves.
