I spoke with trans and genderqueer developers about working in games in the US amid an anti-trans administration and harassment from online communities. Many feel left behind by the companies they work for. “Can’t piss off the bigots, because they spend money.” www.wired.com/story/game-d...

i know this is a known bug in alan wake 2 but i won't -not- keep it in mind when i'm making my argument that at least one ingredient in remedy's secret sauce is this kinda vague, unsettling bisexual vibe that gets stronger with every title....

It’s humbling in baldurs gate 3 when I don’t pass a stealth check and the game tells me why. “You were spotted by City Guard because you were standing in a well-lit area.” The “,you dumbass” is silent.

Jerry Lawson invented the video game cartridge. He's the reason they stopped making pong consoles in the 1970s. If it weren't for him, the Atari 2600 and many others would literally NEVER exist at all.

I was walking my dog when a guy called out “wow, beautiful!” and when I turned to give him the ole fuck-you face he apologized and clarified that he meant the dog. Is this how the evil queen in Snow White felt all the time?

Against all odds, it's Black History Month. So reminder that if you pick up VIDEO GAME OF THE YEAR, you'll not only support Black authors like me but also all the other Black games writers who helped make this the best video game book yet #blacksky

watched emilia perez last night and while a lot of the contention over the film’s format stems from accepting the structural difference between an opera and a musical, it’s also bad opera.
