We talk about Marathon and the state of live-service titles in this one, and we could not have predicted Highguard would announce its shutdown between recording and release. Then it's to the Spencer Mansion for Willa and to Next Fest for Robin.

Another part of this is that because they tuned Grace’s half to be so lean you end up becoming familiar with them. There’s the cook. The maid. There’s singer. You become familiar with each one. Then you switch to Leon and blow their legs out with a shotgun and cut their head off with an axe.
Jayme Lawson from Sinners hit the nail on the head and said how I felt with the whole BAFTAs situation.
Two figures stand in an alleyway at night in winter. The trees are bare. The houses, stark and angular. A gigantic condo looms behind them, its facade lit up by the moon. Two young women emerge from the dark. A younger one and and an older one. The younger one has long dark hair, she wears a toque and puffy coat. She has rectangular glasses. She lights a cigarette while the older one looks on. The older one has her long dark hair tied in a ponytail. She has a fringe of hair resembling an up arrow. She wears a scarf and black peacoat. She has round glasses. She observes the younger one take a puff. The younger one says "Dad would kill me if he knew I was smoking." The older one implores "pleae let your big sister be a laign influence on you." She turns to look her sister in they and points out "you only turn nineteen once! Celebrate by indulging in newly legal vices!"

You know what you could do today instead of doomscrolling all day is go pick up a copy of Persepolis. It is stunningly good.

@evnarc.bsky.social’s review of AC Liberation was full of poignance and specificity kotaku.com/assassins-cr...
This interview @bboyizilla.bsky.social did with Amanda Strawn, the little known VA behind Deus Ex HR’s Letitia the Trash Lady, always touched me as something authentic and real gameranx.com/features/id/...

Let me also share articles by other black critics who have shaped and informed my work over the years.
its reallllly good
used it for a while but fell off
Same man, miss you and hope you and your adorable fam are doing well.
It's black history month. I love my blackness. And yours. In that spirit, I'm gonna post some of my past writing on the theme.
If you've ever celebrated being featured in a Critical Distance roundup, please help them keep the lights on. They put in a lot of work for not very much pay (most members are purely volunteer!) and help keep what remains of the game criticism community together
Really amazing to be asked to write about a game I loved so much for bullet points. I called this piece Baby Steps: or the Modern Pinocchio while I drafted it lol. There is no merit to continuing our own suffering, Nate (and all of us) deserve compassion, most of all from himself.
CD is 100 dollars or so short of sustainability. Incredibly valuable resource for anyone who cares about games, whether for research or just casual reading. Also like... look lmao, web's as fractured as it's ever been. Having the roundup gather a bunch of cool stuff you'd never see otherwise is good
First review of the year, Resident Evil Requiem! One *half* of a good game: www.nytimes.com/2026/02/25/a...
“The body registers the effect of the word and not the intention. McNally’s statement focuses on the lack of intention of Davidson but has no understanding that the way black people’s bodies registers racial aggressions is also not intentional.”
