I can't take FromSoftware fans who make game difficulty their whole identity.

Now that Ziff Davis has laid me off, I'll be looking for work opportunities elsewhere. Any help that y'all can offer, it would mean the world to me.
I'm a very humble person, but I know that I kick ass at what I do. I won't let you down.

Fromsoftware games ARE NOT MEANT TO HAVE PHOTO MODE. These INCREDIBLY DIFFICULT games are meant to be lived, felt, not filed away with the rest of your screenshots. You want a lasting image of Elden Ring? Get gud, and develop photographic memory like the rest of us REAL FANS.
In need of a photo mode for Elden Ring? PC players rejoice!

I've been a contractor, editing video over at IGN for almost a year now, however that has come to an end. Starting tomorrow, I'll be a full-time producer at IGN. I'm still in shock that I can work alongside folks I've looked up to for so long and respect so deeply. It's wild.
In a few weeks time, I'm going to RT this with some good news...
Delivering meds on foot, holding my deliveries in one hand, and having google docs open on my phone in the other while writing Kotaku video scripts and Digital Trends articles was worth it.

This week, I started editing IGN's Daily Fix. I know that if working for IGN is "sitting at the cool kids table", I'm on that seat all the way at the end of the table with my butt half off the seat, but I'm still pretty damn stoked about it.

Stop buying 5k computers, making your bedroom look like a nightclub with RGBs + quitting your jobs to "chase the dream". You're putting the cart before the horse. Build something on the side until you can safely leave your day job.
There's a difference between drive and delusion

Does anyone else REALLY miss the little booklets that used to come in games? I remember just reading over them, even if it was really basic info like the controls. I’d notice little things like art in the margins or cool tidbits of info you might not have known.

Fans will see this and not realize that this is exactly what all developers would like to deliver to fans.
It's the suits upstairs who get in the way of that.
Baldur's Gate 3 is one of the biggest success stories in a long time.
• No in-game purchases
• No Denuvo
• Three years of polish and tweaking in Early Access
• Insane amount of value and content for the price
• 700K+ CCU on Steam

I'm sorry but that Gillette commercial wasn't controversial in the slightest. If you're disturbed by the idea of raising the next generation as compassionate men of action, then you probably shouldn't have kids, for their sake and ours.

G4TV is remembered as Ninja Warrior and Cops reruns. I miss the earlier days, watching ppl discussing games gave me the vocabulary to enjoy games on a deeper level. It's as if I had been looking at the pictures in a book my whole life, and someone taught me to read the words too.

Yes, REAL FANS. It's not a game, its a lifestyle. I eat captain crunch in the morning WITHOUT MILK. Not because it taste better, but because it's more difficult. My mouth is shredded to ribbons, but I can't betray the lifestyle of a HARDCORE fromsoftware fan.

Single player games should not have microtransactions. Full stop. End of story.
When I'm playing through a single player story, I don't want to be sold leveling boosts, just like when I read an article I don't want it to be a trojan horse for you to plug your book.*cough cough*

I am enjoying Breath of the Wild so damn much, it's so refreshing to play what feels like a complete game that doesn't have loot boxes or in game stores or bullshit. It feels like a fun adventure. Can we make all games feel this way again?
