Hi-Fi Rush and The Future of Gaming (for better or worse) stephenamansfield.com/2023/03/19/hi-…
In light of a new FromSoft game, I was compelled to try and actually think about the different ways games do or don't use difficulty, specifically how Pathologic 2 does it differently than most of its peers. stephenamansfield.com/2022/03/06/pat…
Haven't published anything I've written in over a year. Decided to finally stop kicking the tires on stuff and actually get something out. Here's a piece on my fairly unusual but very effective time with Unpacking. stephenamansfield.com/2022/02/01/on-…
Made another video essay. This one's about Ori, it's beauty, and our perception of nature. youtu.be/Hp9nyzoq2rg
Incredible.
Great shit today from @UppercutCrit and everyone chipping in to help those affected by the EGM freeze. It's really incredible to see such an outpouring of support for freelancers.
Saddened by the EGM news. I only got the chance to write one piece for them but I want to give a huge thanks to @jorshy and @gogogoroff for trusting an unproven writer. They were great to work with and I wish the best for them and all the great freelancers affected by this.
With new consoles on the way, we're hearing a lot about how technology will push gaming forward as a medium. Today on EGM, @mmmfield argues that @messengergame offers an different—and better—way to think about console generations. egmnow.com/the-messenger-…
I wrote for @EGMNOW about The Messenger and the ways we talk about consoles and progress. egmnow.com/the-messenger-…
You've got to have freedom! Stephen Mansfield contrasts the ways Ape Out and Hotline Miami aestheticize violence, showing us the frenzied beauty of an ape's liberation. The Righteous, Musical Violence of Ape Out— @mmmfield improvises a free jazz solo. wp.me/p3gqwT-3AX
Wrote about Ape Out, Hotline Miami, violence, and free jazz for @haywiremag. Thanks to @HamletTrevett for all his help getting this piece out there. haywiremag.com/features/the-r…
We really gotta stop acting like videogames popped out of the ground yesterday
I played Kids a few weeks ago and really enjoyed it. I finally got some thoughts down about it. I guess you could consider this my "read" on the game and what it communicates about groups and individuals. stephenamansfield.com/2019/06/24/the…
You should view every one of these streaming platforms as inherently antagonistic to anyone that isn't the platform owner.
Anyway, in conclusion, before you write your hot take on older popular culture, spend five minutes on Google to see what critical people said about it when it came out, and incorporate their comments for context. It always results in a richer, more challenging piece of writing.
After beating the game last month I still had a whole lot of God of War thoughts. I put some of them into a blog about Kratos, his lack of meaningful change, and the cycle of patricide. stephenamansfield.com/2019/05/26/the…

Students at Northeastern University in Boston prevented police vans from leaving the premises with arrested students after attempting to dismantle the Gaza solidarity encampment.
men truly need to cultivate the skill known as “sharing my opinion without calling anyone who disagrees with me over trivial shit a fucking idiot” like i’m begging y’all if you want to be taken seriously

too many people heard not to be racist, not to be homophobic etc and internalised that as a list of rules rather than a set of values
I kinda ignored this but btw this is the weirdest image I’ve ever seen
I read 69 books this year. Most of them were fiction. Lots by Black and Latina women authors. I’ve continued to stay away from the BIG books that have too much sadness & reality. In thirrd year of pandemic reading, still need to keep up my spirits. Here are some recommendations:

OK, a top 50. With apologies to the docs I haven't watched (which is all of them) plus TOP GUN: MAVERICK, FUNNY PAGES, TURNING RED, BURNING DAYS, CHA CHA REAL SMOOTH, METRONOM, WOMEN TALKING, EMILY THE CRIMINAL and, indeed, EMILY which all landed just outside, merry Christmas!
