Super sad news. Shutaro Iida, director of the best Castlevania games, has lost his battle with cancer. I was lucky to conduct one of the last —if not *the last— interview with him about #Bloodstained 2. RIP, Shutaro-san. store.epicgames.com/en-US/news/b...

In incredible news, the European Parliament has voted overwhelmingly for "The Full Recognition Of Trans Women As Women."

Even the center-right European People's Party voted for the declaration.

It will form a foundation for their position at the UN Commission on the Status of Women.

Our latest.
European Parliament Votes Overwhelmingly For "The Full Recognition Of Trans Women As Women"
The resolution, though nonbinding, is a significant shot at those who seek to erode transgender rights on the continent.

Kinda feels important to know that ReedPOP's parent company has ties to ICE. There's some things we can do in the comics community to make our voices heard. 1/3

I'm so happy to hear that people are enjoying the unit merging. "The combination of the tactics style combat, the unit merging and the train journeys feels endlessly compelling, and I even struggled to put this preview build down."

"I don't want to suggest in any way that what we need to solve the world is more rich people - but the way the system works now, the only people left with the ability to make new and interesting stuff are the creatives that are already rich. And that sucks."

Really love that @gamersheroes.bsky.social points out one of the fun things the unit merging system allows: "Want to merge poison damage with a gunslinger? You got it. Want a rocket launcher that heals units? That’ll do!" It's really the heart of the game, tbh!

Lovely little write-up from @gamingtrend.com calls the game "a well-thought out experiment that's simple in presentation but looks tactical and outrageous" and it really is - it's an experiment. We had no idea if this was going to work when we started it.
