2025 was brutal for games media, but I'm seeing some glimmers of hope as worker-owned sites like @aftermath.site, @rascal.news, and @giantbomb.bsky.social have carved out vital spaces in the games community.
Earlier this year, I made a huge Indie Games Media starter pack for y'all. Let's celebrate.

This year has been incredible for high-quality games but I want to take a moment to celebrate the soundtracks as they play such a pivotal role in making a great game even greater.
So please find a thread of my top ten soundtracks below! ⬇️

Finally had a chance to build my Christmas pressie and it was much fun!
I do appreciate the detail Lego put into these sets with a moveable cross pad, buttons and volume and contrast knobs all present in this one.

A fun series of interviews with me, @sallybeaumont.bsky.social and @thomasregin.bsky.social during AdventureX where we discuss all things Old Skies! My voice was absolutely *destroyed* that day so if you ever wanted to know what I'd sound like as a gravelly game protagonist, now's your chance.
A new episode of The So Many Games Podcast is now available!
We turned this second part of our AdventureX coverage into an Old Skies special as we sat down at the event with the composer Thomas Regin, the writer Dave Gilbert and voice of Fia, Sally Beaumont!

One of my favourites of the year. Felt like it was missed by many which is a shame.

I am so happy Erik gave me this opportunity to talk about five of my favourite narrative games and I had a blast.
Erik is such a thoughtful and engaging host too and it would be wonderful if you gave his podcast a listen.

New episode alert! I had the privilege of speaking with @gmrjuk.bsky.social about his favorite game narratives, including a very British title that jumped to the top of my wishlist!

Saw the latest Mission Impossible last night and it’s a weird one. There were a couple of stand out action moments but it all was wrapped around this somber atmosphere that never left.
The score certainly didn’t help, especially with saving the Mission Impossible theme to the end credits.
