YouTube video by Amy Kate Alexander Elden Ring Is For Everyone (And So Is Dark Souls)

hi, i'm amy, i make video essays

my first one was about how the difficulty in souls games became so overblown, making the games offputting to a lot of people who would otherwise love them (like me)

Hey folks, I often do posts calling for indie developers to link me their games so I can signal boost them. Today I want to do something similar for all trans creatives.

If you are a trans game dev, artist, writer, streamer or YouTuber, reply here with a link to your work. Only one rule: no GenAI.💜

yes, let's go all in on the bubble that is set to burst & truly tank the country

not only is kier starmer an awful human being, he also has the political instincts of a lemming

it's the kind of evening where you curl up and watch lord of the rings

We must copy Denmark Social Democrats' hardline anti-asylum measures in order to win back voters' trust, says Shabana Mahmood.

Meanwhile in Denmark:

before asking "how's that project going??" to any creative, just assume it's going like this

rest in peace to one of the best to ever do it

fuck cancer

at some point while playing dark souls 2 i have gone from shouting at the game to shouting at the game but with a scottish accent

🤷‍♀️

they say it's the easiest thing in the world to be kind but we all have our struggles and some days it can be the most bravest thing in the world to let yourself be open and compassionate! you're not a sucker, not a doormat, not naive, you are absolute goals 🌹

train worker waking me up to check my ticket

that might seem harsh, but i've officially run out of patience with the pure shit coming out of ceo's surrounding generative ai

“I find that anything that is [an] AI-related debate in the games industry ends up being on both ends of the spectrum. Either we have Square Enix executives talking about 77% being automated through QA, or we have developers who feel that their livelihood is completely on… the very fabric of their being is being threatened and therefore all AI is bad AI.

dickhead

Labour policy is being celebrated by Tommy Robinson.

That's it.

That's all you ever need to say to explain who Labour are.

the duel at the end was a completely glorious mess, but my favourite part of the play was when the ghostbusters showed up

if you get a chance to watch Shit-Faced Shakespeare i highly recommend it, watching Hamlet go off the rails because of a drunk cast member (in this case the person playing Gertrude) was a great twist

the players managed to keep it fairly coherent (until the graveyard scene)

having a blast watching Shit-Faced Shakespeare perform Hamlet (where one performer gets drunk before and during the show)

they even did my favourite line from the play

"sorry your dad's dead, he was a proper cunt"

finding out a game uses gen ai or a studio is "going all in" on it is helpful, because there is an avalanche of games coming out & it helps to trim the list

however then i see just as many games & studios talk about never using it and my list of cool games i wanna play doesn't get any shorter

v good thread to show to your cis people who don’t understand the kafkaesque web of insane bureaucratic nonsense that british trans people have been trapped in for decades

the list does get more interesting though y'all are making some cool games
