@kellymerka.bsky.socialReposted by @deletedsavesmag.bsky.socialHi! I am a femme who primarily works behind the scenes as an editor, but am proud of the critical work I have published about games and film.
Most recently, I wrote the cover story for @unwinnable.com's September issue, an excerpt of which is currently available online:

@exalclaw.comReposted by @deletedsavesmag.bsky.socialBeen mulling over some chatter I've consistently heard about GTA VI and its realistic look as we approach its launch, specifically about if the new look will make killing harder than before. Here's a piece attempting to discuss why that hasn't sat too right with me:
@exalclaw.comReposted by @deletedsavesmag.bsky.socialJust discovered Exalclaw made it into @warppoint.games, sitting right next to @deletedsavesmag.bsky.social too! Very neat
@deletedsavesmag.bsky.socialThis is damn fine writing. Also, not the point of the article (go read it and subscribe to Skybox) but: "anyone who is really into games – who reads about them and writes about them and plays them often – as an adult is chasing the way they made us feel when we were young." Yeah.

@stevenstoermer.bsky.socialReposted by @deletedsavesmag.bsky.social16 years ago, Kieron Gillen included a thing of mine in the Sunday Papers. When I started writing about video games again after many years, a goal I set for myself was to get into the Papers again. Thanks @jamesandstuff.bsky.social for including me today, it was uniquely meaningful.
