In addition to this, I am also keen to get a wide canvas of demographic experiences, especially from trans/non-binary disabled folks and disabled POC for this and broader accessibility reporting, so please reach out if this describes you! DMs open, but other contact details are in my bio.

Four months and 40 hours later: my epic battle with 2025โ€™s most difficult video game When Hollow Knight: Silksong came out last summer I was in so much pain that I didnโ€™t know if Iโ€™d be able to play it. Could a video game teach me anything new about suffering?

I was having an extremely bad time last year. I started experiencing excruciating pain in my right arm, pain that lasted for months (it's ongoing now). When Hollow Knight Silksong came out, I didn't know if I'd even be able to play it. On Silksong and suffering: www.theguardian.com/games/2026/j...

Both great articles! As someone who's been struggling with both chronic hand pain and Silksong, I feel seen appreciate these immensely.

If you played The Blue Prince, or Fallen London, and/or are queer, and appreciate a thing of beauty made with care, I cannot recommend this book enough.

you already know what's up

(steam sale rec thread is what's up)

as always, i focus primarily on older, obscure, and just plain weird games, as big name titles don't need the help.

so, onwards!

Also, the "huge uproar[...]some reason" is so dismissive. The "journalist" did not even bother trying to genuinely find out why the community was so outraged. Attributing it to amorphous, random reasons invalidates actual concerns over using a harmful tool (if you want to call it one).

Trans girls banned from joining Girlguiding Girlguiding says the move is in response to the Supreme Court ruling that said sex meant biological sex in equality law.

Putting money in Rowling's pocket is also why we ignore press releases from comics events that include Potter programming. It's funding her hate. I'd implore every creator/publisher/potential guest to consider this when approached by those cons. - Andy

I've been really enjoying your blog posts about Weird West! Got me to try the game (it's been sitting in my library for a while) and all the interacting systems are both charming and a fun challenge to play with/around (my infiltration got busted by someone going to the outhouse unexpectedly!)

In a human sacrifice to deity there might be at least a mistaken and terrible beauty; in the rites of the moneychangers, where greed, laziness, and envy were assumed to move all men's acts, even the terrible became banal.

damning thread on how the IDF's propaganda arm is scraping 3D assets intended for things like games, films, or architectural purposes and kitbashing together supposed hamas bunkers and iranian nuclear sites. a genocide campaign propped up in part by someone's nephew who got too into blender.
