Re. RPS freelance, I now have a budget for irregular (maybe 6-12 pieces a year) 2000-3000 wordish, more granular and specific reporting and investigative criticism that broaches a new topic or addresses a gap in knowledge regarding something familiar.

My Silksong review is up. It's a bit like that bit in Anchorman where Vince Vaughn threatens Will Ferrell's life then immediately kisses him on the face

Hollow Knight: Silksong review

Hollow Knight: Silksong has a mean streak that sometimes tilts into vindictiveness, but its pin-sharp combat and wondrous exploration are too good to pass up.

I'm looking to commission a freelancer with knowledge of the Russian games industry and preferably some ability to read/speak Russian. If that's you, my email is in my bio: www.rockpapershotgun.com/authors/edwi...

No apology necessary, Terry - I appreciate it's a difficult subject (maybe the *most* difficult!)

I'd be interested to hear what your plans are, once they're settled? I'm at [email protected].

The queue for Denshattack needs studying as some kind of anthropological anomaly. Never moves yet never grows. A perfectly preserved line of nerds, held in stasis

Part of why RPS hardware coverage keeps the techy stuff relatively simple is because trying to compete with DF on depth would be hopeless. Good luck lads
