A screenshot from the game On-Together, a brightly-colored, animated video game of people hanging out in a large park-like setting doing work together. Josh's character wears a yellow hat, sitting at a yellow park bench while working at a tablet.

A snapshot from the article. It reads: I hope those who felt guilty convert that into action. I encourage those who felt fear to explore it. Fear can be natural, but I think it's important to contextualize those feelings against other people's lived realities and consider what you are afraid of. Is it the police? And if so, are you usually afraid of them? For many SGF attendees, I imagine the answer is no. While everyone I grew up with was hardwired to be hyperaware of the police. I think it's also natural to feel like gaming, games criticism, PR, and every other way we center our lives around games is trivial in the context of bigger, real-world issues: because it is. But that doesn't mean it's "dumb." This work means a lot to me. It's a big part of who I am. And art is meaningful. I don't want this to be misconstrued as "you don't have to do anything because your job is still relevant to the world.” But who you are and what you do is never fully compartmentalized. Walking with empathy and fighting for equity is an everyday practice. It's why many of us recoiled and publicly criticized the CEO of Splitgate wearing a Make FPS Great Again hat on stage at the Summer Game Fest live show. It’s why games like Dosa Divas, that celebrate culture, matter beyond analyzing how fun it is. It’s why I wore my Mexico jersey to the Giant Bomb couch."

Screenshot of Josh and Will getting ready for a podcast! Both are black men, Josh is wearing a black and yellow striped varsity jacket and has short cut, mostly-gray hair. Will is bald, with a blue hoodie and some good comics/media posters in the background
Josh in a black and yellow hoodie, standing next to the splash art for South of Midnight.
A snapshot from the Intelligame stream: Josh is in the lower-right hand corner, taken aback at the scene he's watching. In the game, Hazel and Lacey are in their trailer, preparing to evacuate for a storm. Hazel, a Black girl with thick braids and an orange tank-top, is walking away in disgust from her mother. Lacey, wearing a jean jacket with a red top and orange pants, is calling after her from the other side of living room. Lacey is captioned, saying: "Hazel...Everything I do, I do for you..."
Josh, standing next to the splash art for South of Midnight. The art features a black woman with her hair tied back into braids, looking over her shoulder at the viewer. Strange, fantasy plantlife grows up around her. It's pretty cool art, tbh
The splash art for Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. Four characters stand on shattered ruins looking at a mysterious statue in the distance.
Josh, sitting outside with the Wanderstop press kit, including a mug of tea and a teal-green field guide.
A photo of the items in the Wanderstop influencer kit, placed outside on a stone table. In the back: a sticker sheet with sketch-style pictures of in-game fruits and icons, a teal-green journal labeled "Field Guide," and a woodgrain-printed box with the Wanderstop logo on it. In the front, a yellow-and-black printed tea mug with a tea charm of a green penguin-like bird (with a hilarious/aggressive unibrow), and four packages of custom tea labeled "Vreetle Beets," "Chip Chip," "Azzy Fruit," and "Puffpod."
