i love this story by @nicoleclark.bsky.social for a lot of reasons, but one nerdy one is that nicole turned her single Yacht Club Games visit into multiple stories for Mothership. take notes, journos!! this is a good strategy!!
It feels impossible to keep up with game releases these days, but that shouldn't leave you feeling guilty or keep you from checking out new (or old!) titles. @midimyers.com's latest here:
I wrote about the influence credit cards have on the restaurant industry, and how it increasingly feels like if you don't have the right card, you can't get into the cool restaurants (and how swipe fees contribute to the fact that you can't afford it anyway) www.weareravenous.com/restaurant-c...

Signal boost!!
Some Fortune's Weave from me other at @mothership.blog this morning! It's time to talk Dietrich and Fabio!
I was surprised how much Dietrich's route was a kind of love story, one whose various peculiarities end up twisting and turning through questions of gender and expression.
For this week's Dear Mother advice column, Maddy Myers posits that walkthroughs, hints, and Let's Plays may be the key to finishing a game everyone's saying you *have* to play.
i’m not in dereliction of duty if i refuse to let a stranger talk to me on here. even if they’re a very nice person aside from saying one annoying thing to me i still don’t have to let them talk to me!
I gotta log off now. If you’re considering supporting a games publication because it’s run by people who are not cisgender men, I posted several that deserve your money. If you can’t or don’t want to do that, please at least use your voice. Thanks
Anyway. @butwhytho.net is woman-run and not just by me being EIC. Outside of comics, all of our sections are run by women and if you've freelancer or written for us, you've seen that. If you wanna support us here you go:
