idk man I don't care if you watch it, but it's insane to me that every 3-6 months we all huddle around to watch Keighley's vision of a medium that is so sterile, so stagnant, so soulless compared to the medium I exist in and love.
Games are so fucking cool right now and you would never know.

Thanks so much to @startmenu.bsky.social for having me for their Winter Spectacular! This was my first time being asked to write a guest feature, and I’m really pleased with how it turned out!
Blue Prince isn’t just my personal GOTY, it felt like THE game that captured the absurdity of 2025. 🏠🗝️🚪

Devs were only allowed a few (I believe two) tickets per nomination before Geoff charged them. Resale tickets were in the hundreds. And we all know what happened to Future Class (if you don’t, read my piece).

The Game Awards are not the Oscars of video games. The Oscars miss constantly but at least they are a bona fide attempt by an industry to legitimize and promote itself; TGA is not that, it's just ads for individual products masquerading as an awards show run by one guy's particular preferences.

Class of 2022 here. I don’t know what is the most infuriating thing abt this article but this one stings me the most. You try so hard to get recognised in the industry which you kinda do and then it suddenly ceases to exist. What’s the point in the end? 🫠

I would love to see this show funded! Most audio dramas - including mine - are made on shoestring budgets.
Audio drama (in its current form) is a young industry: let's set a precedent for paying people well for their work, whilst it's in our hands to shape what this industry will grow into.

I do like it when serendipitous things happen. When an actual play podcast does an episode on a system I'm interested in and the players are the voice actors in the audio drama the system is based on. Merely Roleplayers and The Silt Verses.
