reality show where we go to industry conventions and release a truck full of minions so we can take notes on who they decide to serve

Hey, today a few of my peeps and I launched a fund raising money to support survivors of sexual violence and trafficking.

For people who've benefited from programs paid for by $ that (we learned later) caused great harm, & for people who just want to be part of bringing more healing: ashrufund.com

husband mistyped “peppa pog” into youtube search and i laughed so hard. truly nothing funnier than word wrong

I understand not wanting to see certain upsetting things, but that's what proper moderation, and internet literacy is for. You need to learn how to navigate that stuff, and shut up.

“I Have Lost Everything”: The Toll of Cities’ Homeless Sweeps Cities often take belongings — including important documents and irreplaceable mementos — when they conduct sweeps of homeless encampments. ProPublica gave notecards to people across the country so th...

We asked people who lived in homeless encampments that were cleared out in city “sweeps” to write about what object was the hardest for them to lose.

I'm trying to be a grown up about it but idk man it feels pretty shit for a cis ally to get something important about trans shit wrong and then do this when someone pretty politely points out the wrong thing and why it matters.

It is exhausting to be a tran.

The most terrifying idea arising from trans acceptance for manosphere influencers is that the solution is not and has never been to be the right kind of man. It's to accept that whatever kind of man you are IS the right kind of man, and that any performance beyond that exists only for other people.

Excited for the upcoming announcement? While you wait, check out our latest additions to an ever-growing list of marvelous Adult Comics at wechange.me/comics!

I know the industry doesn't "hire" composers anymore but I could do so, so much more if I wasn't in perpetually dire financial straits.

forget actively participating in any Pragmata discourse

lets talk about which video game video essayist we want to see tackle the concept of "the dad game" (ie Pragmata, God of War, The Last of Us, Death Stranding etc) in a video

Rebekah is the first of multiple new hires coming in as the site deepens its commitment to original reporting, analysis, and features covering the industry, player communities, and gaming culture.

Also there's finally someone on staff to tackle all the metroidbrania games I'm too dumb for!

Yes, I have just done a naked forward roll. But there was a good reason Adrian Chiles

Opinion Homes I've no fewer than 17 wooden spoons. But I have a favourite and I'd miss it for ever if it went missing Adrian Chiles

Everything old is new again I guess

Kotaku hires Rebekah Valentine as Senior Reporter as site expands under new ownership Owner Keleops says that traffic has doubled in under a year; further hires planned to drive further growth

I work at Kotaku now! :)

You can go watch back today's KFGD to hear me talk about it a little if you want. You could also read my alma mater @gibiz.bsky.social to learn more! www.gamesindustry.biz/kotaku-hires...

INTERVIEWER: what is your greatest weakness

ME: i don’t know the technical term for pee pee

INTERVIEWER: urine

ME: great when do i start

She has officially announced it now, but big support for my incredibly talented wife as she starts her next steps at Kotaku. She will kill it wherever she goes.

And as an aside, I block liberally. So if you have a hot take, keep it to yourself.

Ace Attorney Doesn’t Take Place in the Future On April 17, 2026, Ace Attorney fans took to social media to talk about the murder of a man called Shadi Smith. They talked about how he was…

It's officially April 20 2026, the date when Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney starts. So I decided to put together a feature about why people say Ace Attorney takes place in the future, how true that is, and how that can bury the real politics on display in the series

That's super fun! When you say critical making, is the goal to critique or analyze another work or topic with their project?

My goodness, these all look so cool. I assume this is a class where students are making games and these are to give them some reference points for similar work?

come on man.

for a second that still of the umbrella made me think this was a Cloudy With A Chance of Meatballs kinda deal

Partially motivated by me prepping to do more career stuff and all of my game dev work is under my online moniker which does not lend itself well to anonymity lmao

do we think Garchomp is the missed wife or the wife misser

as another cis dude, this is absolutely true. Cis men are typically not encouraged to think about gender, except in very negative ways ("you're unmanly if you have any emotions other than rage"), requiring you to walk a tightrope greased with unfollowable rules, over the pit of The Gay.

If you’re in the Bay area and have nonprofit development experience the VGHF is an amazing organization!!

heck yeah. that's what it's all about baybeee

my tip that I'm sure many writers will find objectionable:

TV Tropes is a great resource. It's just a catalogue/dictionary! Tropes are not bad, they are human creative tools; relatable story hooks. If you're stuck writing something, find other examples of similar tropes, and see what they did!
