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.
