I'm currently a game consultant for hire, so if you're looking for someone to consult on your game (or even do some writing on it!) or know anyone who does, reach out! surielvazquez at gmail dot com. Rates are negotiable for indie/smaller games, too!

Sometimes you eat seconds out of spite. Sometimes you settle on a Ms. Fields ice cream sandwich and are like "that shit sucked. What the hell. No. I won't go out like this. I'm getting a Toll House ice cream sandwich." These just things just happen and we need to acknowledge it.

Game industry folks, if you're looking for writers, please hire those laid off from Fanbyte today. Elise is one of the kindest humans I know, an amazing journalist, and her and her coworkers deserve all the best.

I've been laid off from Fanbyte. Incredibly proud of everything I got to do there, and with everyone I have worked with -- these are the most talented folks in games media, and I'm honored I got to be there while I could.

Absolutely gutted by what's happened to Fanbyte. The team Danielle and John had built was filled with so much strong and upcoming talent, and executives decided to just... destroy that. How is anyone supposed to feel safe anywhere in games media?

Hi friends. I just want to say it's been a true honor and pleasure to be the editor in chief of Fanbyte. I think we did some special things there! I am... currently looking for work.

Ok so in personal news: this week was my last at Future. I’ve been laid off. I’m still processing emotions and have other tweets planned, but that means I’m looking for any work, FT or freelance, in editing/games or culture journalism. DMs are open ❤️

Into the Doomed World is a short story collection set in a fantasy RPG that follows 30 NPCs after the player slays a quest giver, ensuring a slow but inevitable apocalypse. It’s free/PWYW. People who have read it so far seem to dig it.

Enough English accents in fantasy. Gimme a high-fantasy setting where everyone speaks in an American southern drawl

Been getting a lot of screen-tearing in the Game Pass PC version of Immortality... anyone else encounter this issue? Not sure how to fix it.

Been having a rough week of sleep, but on the upside finally had it in me to say "fuck it" while trying to sleep and go for a run right before the sun rose instead.

Gotta wait for 6 hours before Immortality is up on Game Pass. The problem with that, of course, is that I'd like to play it right now.

One of the best parts of following esports is when you see someone with a name like "Johnny D1ckf4rtz" then you look it up and find out their legal name is actually Jonathan Richard Fartzesian

Oh, whoops! This morning I put something in my Amazon cart, intending to purchase it, then went "Eeeeee, Aaaaay," before deciding not to, but I think my Alexa picked it up and ran with the story

Can anyone who's good at metaphors tell me what it means when you wake up in the middle of the night to the sounds of a live bat flying in circles around your kitchen/living room and you have to open up doors/windows until it randomly flies out of one of them minutes later?

Ok but like, why would you build that dragon a house. Why would they need one. You're really asking for some consequences here bro

Really proud of this episode! Instead of hounding Roberta to talk about King's Quest again, we talked for an hour about Colossal Cave Adventure, the game that inspired her entire career. Having her geek out about something she loves was a blast.
