Visceral and rad as hell. One of my new fav horror films. Celebrates what makes this franchise and world what it is while still doing its own thing. Funnier than I expected while still being genuinely unsettling. Fantastically paced. Tension building was surgical as well. I wanna see it again asap.

Shot in the dark: A few years ago, I looked into the ill-fated Sly Cooper movie and subsequent (canned?) TV show, but I ran into dead ends. If you worked on either or have any leads I can follow, I'd love to hear from you in a DM or email at [email protected]. Anon guaranteed. RTs appreciated!

Have some BIG NEWS, and it really is wild that today is also the anniversary of the Fanbyte Apocalypse. But my time at Game Developer is done, and hence, my time as a full-time game journalist has come to an end. 20 years in a career sure is something. www.tumblr.com/danielling/8...
After 20+ years of writing professionally about games, including time at Polygon and Idle Thumbs, launching Waypoint, serving as editor in chief of Fanbyte and finally as EIC at Game Developer, my time is done. I'm officially out at Game Developer. Given the state of game journalism, this obviously means leaving the profession, at least as a full-timer. I'm out, with respect to my colleagues, and a lot of love for the site as it was. We've published work that I'm extremely proud of, particularly our reporting on labor and on how workers are finding things in a miserable, gutting moment in the game industry. I'm proud of the dev-authored features we had for so many years, the resources and knowledge and bits and pieces of know-how that I still use, to this day, in my own game design courses. What's next? Well, I'm not leaving games. I'll always be making and teaching and writing about games, it just can't be my full time gig anymore. I've actually been doing narrative design on a game since 2022, with a team I really believe in, and I can't wait until I can show that off properly. I am also OPEN TO WORK. Anything involving writing or editing words, editing video, teaching (I've been teaching college since 2009), and hey, I'm an EMT and got my phlebotomy cert a couple years back. I'm versatile! For full-time employment, I am eventually going to try my hand at medicine. I've served as an EMT here in NYC since 2016, and I've been taking science courses post-bac since January 2025, usually 2 or more at once concurrently with... the full time job, my part time adjunct job, and volunteering on said ambulance. Exhaustion set in years ago, lol, so I've settled into something beyond that at this point. I feel like I've been climbing a mountain, and trying to make many things work at once. I had a pretty good rhythm going, truth be told, despite all the burnout. I'm proud of myself for that. I'd really like to be a physician assistant one day, or potentially a nurse practitioner. It's a very, very long and hard road to either of those paths, but I'm going to make my way as best as I can. How do I feel? Again, devastated was years ago. We're pretty far past that at this point. What's happened to journalism in America is... a topic for a very depressing, very well-researched book. I hope someone writes that one day. What happened to game journalism... well, it's more of a niche, but I can say only that reporting honestly on layoff after layoff and corporate malfeasance writ large and executives gambling the whole industry down the drain was tough, but somebody had to do it. But it's not something one can do without editorial independence. It's dramatic, but I'm going to mourn this career. Twenty years of my life, at 42, is just about half of my days alive. I put a lot, and I do mean *a lot* of myself into this. I tried at all times to lead with empathy and care for the human beings around me and to be as honest and frankly honorable as possible in my work. I really, really tried to live my values in my work in this career, and the only way I can keep that reputation is the path ahead of me. So there it is. Expect to see me making games, making art, teaching game design, writing about games from time to time @VeeGeeBees. Expect to hear more about my adventures as an EMT, and hopefully, soon as a PA student, and eventually, as an advanced practitioner. I've kept telling myself, in the darkest and worst days of the last few years, that I'll fly again, somehow. It'll just look very different. To sign off, and pull an old favorite out of my pocket: be good, and be good at it.

Played the first hour. Loving it so far. The boss fight with Omega Red took time for me to figure out but I’m loving the combat. The traversal is fun as well. Knowing what I know of the comics I’m curious where the story will go but I’m excited to play more.

The same people mad about Charlie Kirk jokes gleefully shared pictures of George Floyd as Yasuke in Assassin’s Creed Shadows. They have no values no morals no ethics, this is just about clicks because content is king and they’ve monetized hate.

My book is out next year.

for our Exodus cover story, you *know* we had to ask about romance.

@chuckduck365.bsky.social and i talked with Exodus' narrative director to explore how romance will be handled, and whether love can last against years of time dilation.

Being more active on Letterboxd has absolutely kept me more engaged in movies generally. What can I say I love a log or a list.

@djstormageddon.com’s Game of Show is Wrestle Story from @tictocgames.bsky.social! This is Matt’s second time getting hands on with this one & it’s just as delightful as the first time. A game that has a deep love for both wrestling & turn-based RPGs. Funny, colorful and a blast to play.
