New Save Collective plans to continue holding future events and organizing gamers. The fight for these communities online is far from over. โ€œGaming wasn't kind of a random genre that we chose,โ€ says Siggelkow. โ€œWe've been tracking anti-immigrant myths and disinformation digitally for years. We really grounded this campaign in a lot of data and research. This really is a space that is critical for immigration narrative.โ€

I spoke with people role-playing ICE raids in video games to help educate people on their rights and what to do in real-life situations. Tonight, they're holding an event in Fortnite www.wired.com/story/activi...

The Game Awardsโ€™ Fashion Highlights The Industryโ€™s Identity Crisis - Kotaku Please, no more blazers and t-shirts at The Game Awards, Iโ€™m begging you

I totally understand going to The Game Awards, especially if youโ€™re nominated. Itโ€™s a big moment!

If youโ€™re going and want fashion advice, DM ME! Iโ€™ve dressed a few people for TGAs (for free obv) after going a wee bit viral for ragging on our industryโ€™s atrocious style.

the best wingman you'll ever find is a drunk older white lady at a bar who fully assumes you and your hot friend are dating and when you say no she pulls up a chair, sits down, and asks you both to explain to her why not

The difference between corporate toxicity in games and the overwhelming kindness I encountered with members of the game writer community last weekend is so huge itโ€™s a little upsetting. Imagine watching the Mouth of Sauron ride into battle on Shadowfax. Get that gorgeous horse out of there.

Sorry to say it but this is absolutely true. The surest way to register your discontent with the focus and quality of the NYT's journalism is to disengage from the publication's biggest revenue driver.

Try Puzzmo for your daily puzzle fix. It's great!

and by "relies on" i mean that the new york times is functionally, literally a gaming company with a newspaper attached so if you're a person who never subscribed to the times anyway and still wants to make a difference, this is the difference. stop playing nyt games!
