Editorial Policy

The standard we hold ourselves to

Before you trust a word elsewhere on pyaten.space, it is fair to know how those words get made. That is the entire purpose of this page.

Bylines

Nothing is published anonymously. A name on a page means somebody can be asked about it later, and that is the only accountability a small site has.

Owen Tully, Games and digital entertainment writer. Owen Tully grew up in arcades and brought that curiosity to writing about why online games hold attention the way they do. He has covered game design, player communities, and digital entertainment for over a decade, always asking what makes people come back for one more session.

Fiona Marsh, Streaming and lifestyle writer. Fiona Marsh left journalism for blogging when she realized she spent more time recommending shows than covering politics. She writes about streaming platforms, viewing habits, and the quieter parts of digital life that rarely get a proper column.

Kenji Adachi, Hobbies and wellbeing writer. Kenji Adachi is a former product designer who trades client briefs for personal craft projects on weekends. He writes about creative hobbies, rest, and the practical side of protecting time that belongs entirely to you.

How a page gets written

• Dump first. Everything the writer believes goes down, unsorted.
• Mark the soft parts. Anything held on memory rather than evidence gets flagged.
• Check or cut. A flagged claim is either supported or removed. There is no third option.
• Second reader. Somebody else hunts for sentences that sound more certain than the evidence allows.

Dating and updates

The date you see is real. A tidy up of wording leaves it alone; only a change to what the piece recommends moves the modified date, along with a note saying so.

Paid and unpaid links

We earn from some outbound links. That pays for hosting and research time, and it does not decide the verdict of any page.

Nobody has ever bought the removal of a fair criticism here, and the ones who try mostly hand us the material for the next article.

Our refusals

• Guarantees. Nobody in this field can honestly offer one.
• Filler written to occupy a topic rather than to answer it.
• Anything we would be embarrassed to defend in person.

Choosing what to cover

We do not plan an editorial calendar. Articles appear when a question has come up often enough to be worth answering properly.

Putting things right

Write to [email protected] with the page address and what is wrong. Factual errors are fixed quickly. If the correction changes the conclusion of a piece, we add a short note at the foot of the page rather than quietly editing it.
