On occasion folks pay me to write for them! Here’s some of my faves from 2016 in no particular order:

Ride or Die: Mafia III Review – Ontological Geek 

Ghost Busters is still Haunted by Negative Racial Tropes – Polygon

Where do we find Community as Gamers? – Uncanny Magazine

Racism in Watch Dogs 2 is Subtle, and that’s how it won me over – Polygon

The Developer of Moon Hunters Explains how Diversity Shaped the Game – Vice

On occasion I write stuff for fun, or because I’ve got many thoughts on the topic:

Review – Women in Game Development: Breaking the Glass Level Cap – I Need Diverse Games

Thoughts on Diversity, Conventions and Costs – Medium

Twitch Etiquette – Some things I’ve Learned – Medium

You can keep up with my writings on Medium, my site or more than likely over on Twitter, where a lot of my thoughts start off and get reshuffled into a more cohesive thing on Medium.

If you like the stuff I write outside of freelance games pieces, you can support my work on Patreon for as little as $1 a month.
