Iโ€™m really struggling right now, with the push to โ€œsupport indieโ€ outlets in the video game space when it feels like those outlets are not interested in the overall wellbeing of the โ€œgaming communityโ€

The silence from some places on the PayPro censorships, the silence from most on BDS protests

Haley MacLean won't be attending the MinnMax community meetup this Saturday because US Customs wouldn't let her into the country from Canada because she might appear in a video...

Yes, we're also furious at the US government. Send some love to @haleyfax.bsky.social!

I donโ€™t know why I thought that would be a selling point, but it is a mostly accurate description haha

Making my case to come follow my Twitch stream #twitchstreamer #queerstreamer #twitch #streamer #videogames #badatvideogames TikTok video by Matt Caulder

I made a TikTok about how you should watch my Twitch stream at Twitch.tv/MattCaulder, solely because of how funny I thought it was to have one of the reasons be โ€œIโ€™m bad at video gamesโ€ which is only partly false

But also, you should check out my Twitch, we have a great time

Did a thing Iโ€™ve literally never done and replied to this BGG post to offer my support for this.

We NEED to make our voice heard, both to CGE and to the greater board game community!

it's for "liberals" so that they can feel okay about the incredible amount of children sacrificed at the altar of the second amendment every year. That's literally it. This is give them a pass that "it's okay"

Everyone involved in this is the worst sort of ghoul. I cannot imagine doing this, enabling this, posting this

#Blacklist CGE | Codenames: Back to Hogwarts Hey everyone! Itโ€™s the day after Gen Con and Iโ€™m planning to be in recovery for at least a week before I can really be active againโ€”but I wanted to offer this resource to the community who wants it. ...

I created a thread where I share the link to the zine I made on bgg for the new codenames.

Surely there will be transphobes who come to attack me for itโ€”so please help support me on there!

this is all I've heard about it, and I'm so excited to sit down and read it. One of my favorite early videos from Coville was talking about how good 4e was and what good systems you should learn from it

If you use AI voiceovers in your youtube videos because you think your accent is too thick or your english isn't good enough, cut it out.

We tolerate listening to british people on that platform, so we can certainly accept your true voice.

They are smiling and holding up a box of Pokemon cards at the camera. Around them are Twitch stream decorations and a tone of nerdy video game memorabilia.

The Anti-Porn Crusade That Censored Steam and Itch.io Started 30 Years Ago Keywords and tags have never been a useful metric for distilling nuance. Pushing for regulations based on them is repeating a 30-year history of porn panic online.

Per usual, excellent work by @samleecole.bsky.social digging into Collective Shout, Steam, and the anti-porn lobbyist crusade
