Grammarly declined my request to interview CEO Shishir Mehrotra today. But it told me that in response to criticisms, it will allow experts to opt out of the feature by emailing expertoptout@superhuman.com.

I've decided that instead of wasting my own time to see if Grammarly has stolen my name and writing for use their business, I'd just email them to opt out and make them waste some time cleaning up their own goddamn mess.

I put them at the bottom

I enjoy just organizing all of them. It makes me think of wandering the Nintendo aisle at Target or Toys R Us. This is what my subscription fee goes to.

Everyone: Pokemon Pokopia!

Me: I’m going to spend my Saturday drinking coffee and beat the Turbo Tunnel in Battletoads (still got it)

We don’t talk enough btw about the sheer number of cool ass games for the NES part of NSO. So many classics and random imports and lost gems. And Battletoads!

This is a fascinating, unguarded conversation between a young Miyamoto and Itoi, just poised on the edge of the future in 1989 and excited about what was to come.

Demonschool does this... kinda! Our backgrounds ARE full 3D, but for most of the overworld gameplay, we have a fixed camera angle... if there are no moving lights, we can cache the world to a texture and treat the whole world as an impostor, essentially doing runtime 'pre-rendering' i guess.

The best takeaway from year two was also the takeaway from year one:

Thinking of my hometown tonight

Breaks my heart to share this, but today is my last day at The Verge and I am looking for work! I'd really like to stay in video games, preferably in some kind of journalistic capacity but I can do PR/Marketing and maybe even a lil Narrative Design. Please get in touch!

Just found out my wife might be losing her job, so I'm desperately searching for work. Contract, full-time, freelance, whatever. Press, PR, consulting, anything. I have 16 years of editorial experience and have been writing about games for 13. Reviews, news, previews, guides, etc. RTs appreciated.

Vince was refreshingly kind and down to earth in the times I spoke with him. A terrible loss

This is an unimaginable loss, and our hearts are with Vince’s family, his loved ones, and all those touched by his work. Vince’s influence on the video game industry was profound and far-reaching. A friend, colleague, leader and visionary creator, his work helped shape modern interactive entertainment and inspired millions of players and developers around the world. His legacy will continue to shape how games are made and how players connect for generations to come.

I'm the Unreleased NES Games Guy, so "revive a lost NES game and get it officially released" has been on my bucket list for a long, long time. That it is a fundraiser cartridge with 100% of the profits helping even MORE preservation work happen is even cooler than I'd hoped. I'm proud of this.
