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...

Welcome back readers. I’ve been away for a couple of weeks! While I always take one week off around the holidays, this year I was persuaded (by myself) to extend that holiday to two weeks on account of catching COVID (Curator’s note:...

Welcome back to Critical Distance‘s annual roundup of great videogame blogging! We’ve taken one more trip around the Sun in our ongoing mission to highlight and archive some of the best, most thought-provoking and poignant writing about games, whether that writing comes from...

Welcome back readers. We’re coming up on the submission deadline (December 22) to get your picks in for our end-of-year review! If you haven’t already done so, check out the announcement post for details, and if you’d like, join our Discord and submit...

Welcome back readers. We’ve got a shorter issue for you this week, with nine picks from (mostly) the past week. If you’re looking forward to a very, very long issue, the submission window for our end-of-year review is currently open. See the...
