Hello I am busier than I've been in ages BUT the Hard Counter article will run at the end of the month!! Wow cool whoa!!
(I really would have liked to have gotten some smaller stuff this month but I just have been SO busy. Next month look forward to some smaller articles too!!)
The people yearn for women game protagonists over the age of 35
Good afternoon I am balancing out the despair with Shadow World from Persona 4 and I think you should do the same
They're rapidly becoming my favorite superheroes, honestly
I know BVNAFAB makes ALL the tips
i feel like i'm way more positive on the pragmata hugh/diana dynamic than other people, purely because it's nice to father/child dynamic in a game where the only growth for either character is not just that the young character teaches him its ok to not be a cold and guarded asshole
While I'm EXTREMELY happy that Pragmata is a W in the genre of Dad Games, I'm still eagerly awaiting a return of Mom Games in the style of Undying, maybe. Lots of games about Dads with Kids and very few about the Moms.
Thinking about the very end of it most of all. Life really is finite, you know? A 100 hours playing a AAA Chimera of a video game is just not what I think I need in my life right now.
Lex wrote a killer review about a game that exhausts me from even thinking of playing it, and I'd love if you gave it a gander!

The box art for Portal, featuring a stick figure diagram of someone falling through a portal.
The box art for Mirror's Edge, featuring its protagonist Faith, a young Asian woman, in front of a white city scape.
There's this influential first person game from the mid-2000s that's a short but very tight experience, isn't gun focused, has unique gameplay mechanics, is all about platforming, only received one massively expanded sequel, and has an ending theme song called "Still Alive."
No wait, there's two.
One of my favorite channels. I can watch Folding Ideas break things down all day.
(Watch him...fold ideas, I realize? It all makes sense now.)
Hi! Through a series of unfortunate events, I am Very short coming up with funds for a Very important event. Please don't feel compelled to do so if you're unable, but if you've subscribed to Hard Counter and wouldn't mind tossing me that fiver, this is definitely the month to do so!
I hate doing this for an unimaginable number of reasons, primarily that this month's article is not done yet and frankly no one wants to have to ask for money, so as always, please don't sweat doing so if you can't!

Sorry but yall are banned from using the word 'slop' to describe anything that isn't AI for the foreseeable future. I dont care how much you dont like something or how 'bad' it really is- if it was made by humans, then it's nowhere near being 'slop'.

I am a tiny healer goat woman you cannot hurt me in any way that matters
it’s no contest
Starting a Substack and basing my online games writing presence solely around competitive games to make the wait for Kingdom Hearts 4 more manageable
today it took all of my willpower not to call out a major indie game curator account over the following:
i am. SO tired of indie games always being painted as "ACTUALLY FUN" alternatives to "MODERN AAAA SLOP"
they're their own games dude! let them speak! stop projecting petty gamer rage onto them!
It's hard to explain it but I feel really powerful playing FPS games while being super feminine but still wholly feeling non-binary. Really roundabout gender euphoria, somehow
I'm sorry?
Told myself I don't need anymore amiibo but the idea of a large Rosalina one would look SO GOOD in so many places in my house...
I cannot believe the amiibo is accurately portraying Rosalina being taller than everyone lmao
Re: Hard Counter
This is going to be my first month trying to balance a work project with getting an article out; I have one ready to go, but I have ANOTHER I would like to try to get done before I go on vacation at the end of the month? We shall see, we shall see
This is such a clever idea.
You are so wonderful Lexy 😭 thank you for including me
I am also feeling 3/3 in the worst way possible
Hello it is Trans day of visibility so please visibly read my work, thank you
