“If you enjoy reading insightful deep dives on video games, both modern and retro, check out the thought-provoking essays on Game & Word.”
Geoffrey Golden, Adventure Snack
“Very insightful newsletter about games… on the surface, but much more as you delve deep. And deep you will go, Jay’s academic level of coverage is impressive.”
Michael, Misadventure Adventure
“This is about videogames, but from the perspective of what they mean & what's underneath them if you look hard enough, which is: ALL SORTS OF FASCINATING THINGS. It's a joyfully focused, super-interesting journey in all directions, powered by infectious enthusiasm. (And it's brilliant in another way - check out the way Jay & Jenny use tables of contents, which is a work of art.) Definitely not just for the gamers - but if you are one, you'll fall hard for this newsletter.”
Mike Sowden, Everything Is Amazing
