About Jay Rooney
writing thoughtful and accessible longform essays on video games.
Hello! I write about the intersection of video games and culture, art, history, society, and philosophy. As you can imagine, these articles are very time-consuming, often requiring several late nights and weekends to get them in shape for publishing. I could sure use a coffee right now. If you enjoy my articles, pitching in for a cup of coffee is a great way to ensure I make more of them.
Thank you for supporting independent publications in very niche markets!
