The other alternative is to take an approach like Transformers canon, which is to look you dead in the eyes and say 'Even the toy bios have their own continuity and every time you complain I add another contradictory origin for the Constructicons. Fuck you.'

We've paid Amelia Tyler, the narrator of Baldur's Gate 3, to voice pieces of the PC Gaming Show since 2023. If *we* can do it, a major game studio can definitely pay actors to say "I found some rusted tools" in ARC Raiders.
I'm here to tell you that voice actors (even very very good ones) are not expensive, more than make up for their cost in the value they bring to your game, and if Baldur's Gate can record real actors for every line of dialogue in the game, so can you for your 100 generic barks or even specific ones.

Great to have some minis news from @crapstacular.bsky.social up on the site. It's been fun explaining our incredibly weird industry to them!
Good news for anyone with likes Warcradle Studios and Games Workshop alums. Bad news for anyone who wants virulent transphobes out of their hobby!
Warcradle Studios returns to Firestorm Armada — this time, with Robin Cruddace and Richard Morgan
The good, the bad, and the transphobic.

I am a little late to this, but I have also requested my name and face to be removed from @cyclinguk.bsky.social publicity due to the decision to remove trans women from their awards.
Trans women are women, gender is on a spectrum (and I did a genetics degree), and cycling is for everyone. 🏳️⚧️🚲❤️

My partner is a transmasc femboy with they/he pronouns. He's a little guy, but not a man, and mostly identifies as puppy. And is occasionally a girl for the bit, but never a woman.

90% of the worst queer discourse is driven by people either in the closet or otherwise terrified about what committing to their authentic selves means for their lives, and while we should be patient and loving to these folks we need to stop taking them seriously
