Welcome back readers. This week I’m very happy to plug a new game from narrative designer, writer, and one of my own mentors here at CD, Kris–You Are Generative AI. You might also check out their Patreon. This Week in Videogame Blogging...

Welcome back readers. Behold! A rare, even-later-than-Monday (It’s 2:30 AM local time) post! As I warned last week, contributing to our Patreon will not make posts happen on Sunday more often, but it absolutely does help the posts happen! Thank you, as...

Welcome back readers. Behold! A rare, on-time (as in, actually published on Sunday) post! By contributing to our Patreon you absolutely will not incresase the frequency of these rare, on-time Sunday posts, but you will help keep our work in general going...

Welcome back readers. Kaile just posted our most recent Patreon newsletter update–another good reason to check our page out and maybe even give us some support if you have a few bucks per month to spare! As always, we appreciate it! This...

Welcome back readers. This week the thing I want to plug is that Kaile is putting together a book bringing together both new material and previously-published hits. Don’t worry, I’ll be back to ask you for money for the site next week....

Welcome back readers. Hey, Game Informer is back! Nice. I’m not going to hamfist a creative segue to our Patreon, so I’ll just remind you that your support helps us keeps this project going and we appreciate it! This Week in Videogame...

Welcome back readers. I’ve received word from my colleagues that being ever-so-slightly irritating about making you aware on an ongoing basis that we have a Patreon, and that we would love you forever if you find yourself willing and able to contribute...

Welcome back readers. I’m not plugging the Patreon this week. I can only do so much when I have chosen to put together the issue when I haven’t had any dinner yet. This week, you’ll have to plug the Patreon yourself by...

Welcome back readers. Check out our Patreon to support CD–now (and always) with 100 percent less LLM-generated article curation than the leading brand. This Week in Videogame Blogging is a roundup highlighting the most important critical writing on games from the past...

Welcome back readers. This issue was published fifteen minutes later than it otherwise would have been because after a couple of months of sustained plugging I was a little stumped on coming up with a new way to plug our Patreon. With...

Welcome back readers. Note to self: plug the Patreon! Ah, well met, fair traveller! Have you checked our fine Patreon? Every little bit helps! This Week in Videogame Blogging is a roundup highlighting the most important critical writing on games from the...

Welcome back readers. We’ve got a nice compact issue for this week. Think of it as a little CD snack (curator’s note: please do not attempt to snack on CDs. They’re quite jagged, probably made with toxic chemicals, and above all, inedible)....

Welcome back readers. Apologies for my absense last week. I caught a nasty strain of flu, and I think having it right after a bout of COVID made it a nastier experience still. Owing to that, this week’s issue is extra-long–29 picks,...

Welcome back readers. The first thing I’m going to plug this week is an Itch bundle–this one is a big collection of TTRPGs and materials in support of the Trans Empowerment Project. Good games, good creators, good cause. The second thing I’m...

I last gave an update on Critical Distance’s finances at the beginning of 2024. Now that it’s a new year, it seems like a good time to check in again. We are just on the brink of financial stability. Some months we...

Welcome back readers. I mentioned last week that I would be plugging the Patreon a little harder going forward. We’ve experienced some really great community growth in the last couple of years–there are lots of fun conversations happening on our Discord for...

Welcome back readers. First order of business today–I’m plugging the Patreon, and will be doing so more regularly going forward. We are a directly reader-supported operation. That support is what allows us to highlight cool and interesting games writing year-round, produce monthly...
