in the early 2000s Rebecca took the time to chat over IRC with a teenaged and gender-confused Me on the practicalities of transition - in a time where being out as trans online was something that could get you socially ostracized. I owe her a lot for that and only hope I can pay it forward.
My trailblazing game industry bad-ass friend Rebecca Heineman has passed away.
Fuck cancer.

I'd like to share this old video of hers, where she talks about her time working on the 3DO port of Doom.
it's a wild story that stuck with me, and a reminder that sometimes "bad games" have amazing people working on them

To celebrate One Foot In The Grave returning to BBC iPlayer, here's my review of the bottle episode "The Beast In The Cage". How does a block of dialogue cut from the television version (but retained for radio) change everything? And why does this sweltering bank holiday look so suspiciously chilly?

F-ZERO GX is one of the greatest games because it has 40 playable characters that aside from around 5 or 6 of them nobody has ever really thought that much about, and gives all of them voice acted interviews and their own theme song and short film. this game Loves guys like "Octo Man" and "Billy"

A prototype build of the unreleased Famicom RPG "Splatterworld" has been found. It was posted by an anonymous user on 4chan and appears to be a later build compared to the then-only known footage of the game. I'm curious to see if there will be efforts to fan translate this into English.

learnt from @nicholasdanfort.bsky.social the other day that Seinfeld is hugely popular in Turkey and I am *fascinated* by this phenomenon and want to read a feature article about it, the translation process, and the relationship with Jewishness.
