Besides the fact that $70 means different things to all of us, I have a hard time doing the "is it worth $70" because I'd have to imagine that I'm 1. Not in games media 2. not doing any gaming content at all

Before I had this job I was trying to get this job so I played a lot. I literally have to imagine being a different person and then what that imagined self would want to play. I know trolls will be like "FrEe GaMe 4 JuRnO" but I don't actually get codes for everything. I bought Mario Golf last year to stream and never played it again.

How I went from teaching to games media (a thread until I write it for @GameInd_Guides)

I had already been writing, podcasting, & doing YouTube for about 2-3 years but I didn’t have anything set up tbh. I didn’t even have money saved. I just realized my plan wasn’t working. I wanted to grow my games career big enough to comfortably switch over but during my first year of FT teaching I realized I had no time to do the work I needed to do to grow my games career. I was also exhausted and frustrated.

The penultimate episode. #HIMYF The captain! But also this is cringey.

"Race, gender, etc shouldn't matter. It should be about the best person for the job." No. And let me explain why (a thread). 1. bias (both conscious and unconscious) is a thing. If the best person is always (for example) a white man, that says more about your hiring process than the people in the field. For more: theguardian.com/women-in-leade…

Now that the embargo is up I can now say #Borderlands3 has the worst jokes & writing of any video game I've ever played. The guns may feel good but mowing down enemy after enemy for repetitive missions & brutally uninspired side quests for 30+ hours absolutely sucks. (Thread) I can't comment on how it compares to the others in the franchise but the humor is about what it's always been (according to my colleagues). I guess that means it has always been bad. I think fans will feel right at home OR like they've outgrown literal toilet humor.
