like, rah woke is really over!

Black History Month in the UK is largely ignored by the games industry anyway but this has to be the quietest I’ve ever seen it. No panels, no events, nothing. Damn.

I can’t believe I get to say this but I’m going to be interviewing Michaela Jae Rodriguez on the Charlotte Tilbury twitch channel 🥹

We’ll be chatting all things Pose, gaming and make up ✨

I had the pleasure of hosting & streaming with @indiearenabooth.de at #gamescom this year, and I got to share my top 10 picks from the entire line-up at 2025 IAB. Here they are, and here's me attempting to quickly describe them to @shay-thompson.bsky.social😍 www.twitch.tv/videos/25528... #indiegames

do you just… not know what opinions are? I don’t think anything here was presented as fact

Considering this is some of the only major reporting on this shitshow, disappointing doesn't even begin to cover it. @geekycassie.bsky.social @frankieward.bsky.social et al deserve way better

Guild, Beckham’s Former Esports Team, Folds After 6 Years Just 13 days short of its iron anniversary, British competitive gaming outfit Guild Esports, once backed by David Beckham, has announced it’s shutting shop.

I'm gobsmacked at how awful this reporting of Guild Esports' closing is

No mention of the exploited and unpaid players, presenters and talent. Instead, the writer decides to focus on a conversation they had with the *former* CEO for some reason?

So good to see Arkane's workers push for this!

Also a great example of one of the core benefits of unionization, which is just "creating a structure for discussion and systems to make collective decisions." Always much harder to get action at scale like this if there isn't already organization.

New trailer from me! For the critically acclaimed, cool as hell, Neurocracy.

Making a trailer for a game about delving through fictional wiki pages and making conspiracy boards was an interesting challenge, so hopefully I've done justice to a supremely interesting, compelling game

For this week's VGIM, do video games have an auteur problem?

I sweated buckets at the Death Stranding 2 launch event to find out.

No because put his show back on the air, I’m so serious

Me wearing kitten heels every time I go out-out 👁️👁️

Wrote about SGF, ICE, and covering the event as first-generation US born person.

This is where I’m at re narrative/performance. I thought it was me being a grouch but I was not connecting with the story at all because of the dialogue. Feels so awkward at times. Humour deffo not coming through either

where's that racism watch dog when you need it

A comic page with three panels. Panel one. An industrial elevator arrives at a concrete corridor where a top heavy robot stands by outside. As the doors part open, a three armed prisoner slips out from a crowd of inmates while a one eared man cries after her "Hey!" Panel two. A rounded green stained concrete tunnel from above, prisoners in various states of undress marching in a line along the metal floor under the watch of CCTV and a towering robot, past a security booth built into the wall. "Inmates, proceed single file." the robot orders Panel three. Three armed woman down to her underwear, staring into the booth through the thick glass window at a guard enjoying a cup of something, next to three hanging uniforms and lockers.

World's shit, am feeling like shit, so if you could take a minute to cheer me up by checking out ma comic I am working very hard on, that would be cool.

There's a new page today and it's even got a robot in it

If you're in the UK, appalled by the supreme court's decision and would like to MATERIALLY help trans women TODAY, consider literally donating to helping my girlfriend to get gender affirming care:

regardless of today’s outcome, it is morally indefensible to have a court ruling on something that affects a population, using evidence and findings that did not consult a single member of that population.

the BDS requests on microsoft are extremely clear and also targeted. they aren't "uninstall windows now and change your entire life," they aren't even a huge ask for games media outside of like exclusive world of warcraft streamers. there is no reason for the near total silence other than shame

please not this delay

did they just slide in silksong really casually

I chuckled

I just think it’ll be funnier if it isn’t 😭

I’m so sorry.

HIIIII 😗
