One of the most important figures in the games industry and a trans elder. Because we can't have any nice things this god forsaken year, apparently.
My trailblazing game industry bad-ass friend Rebecca Heineman has passed away.

Fuck cancer.

Friends, let’s not forget her: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rebecca...

Red Dead Redemption getting a free upgrade on Xbox is a little surreal. There is no Xbox One version of the game. This is a free upgrade from 360 to Series S/X. I'll be able to put the copy I bought 15 years ago into my Series X and get an upgraded version of the game for no extra cost.

Weird.

Man, it's such a surprise that they suddenly stopped making Call of Duty games after Black Ops 6. I did not see that coming at all.
Call of Duty isn't even hiding the fact that loads of its calling cards and other unlockables are AI generated this year.

For one of the biggest video game franchises in the world this is pretty disgusting...

Got laid off today.

God, this year has been an absolute nightmare.

It is infuriating that my dad insisted that he voted for Trump because of Clinton being a criminal and Biden being a sex pest. Especially when he voted for Trump the third time, even after I came out as trans.

There's a sense of betrayal that I doubt I'll ever let go of because of it.

Save yourself $140 and get an 8BitDo telescoping controller instead. The only thing Backbone has going for it is that their controllers are super compact and easy to carry. The 8BitDo controller is way more comfortable and more functional while being a fraction of the price.
The Backbone Pro Xbox Edition launches today. It’s available for $179.99 USD ERP through Backbone, Xbox, and Amazon, with Best Buy floor placement in the US beginning November 30. Worldwide shipping is supported." news.xbox.com/en-us/2025/1...

Ah, dammit. Forgot to take my meds again. Fuck, I hate the cloud of anger I have over me when my hormones are off.

I talk about being trans a lot. It's a pretty big deal in my life and, well, it's still pretty new since it really hasn't been that long since egg crack.

But good glob, it makes me want to strangle someone every time I see a cishet whine about trans people making being trans our personality.
That all we all think about is BEING trans.

If not for the nightmare world that folks have foisted upon us where we have to fight every day to exist, it would just be background noise to me. It's part of my life, like being a lesbian. It's second nature. It's breathing.

Spider-Man 3 is not a great movie. But it does have some moments that show what movie it could have been. For instance, it has my favorite moment in any Spider-Man movie.

Potential spoiler warning for multiple Spider-Man works.

I hope you're all prepared for PlayStation 6 to be full digital. Because I will be very surprised if it has a disc drive.

It sucks, but the all-digital future is fast approaching.
Serebii Update: First look at the box art for Pokémon Pokopia for Nintendo Switch 2.

It will be released as a Game Key Card and require 10GB of space to install

Need to go grocery shopping. But also don't want to deal with Packer traffic or the last minute Packer party shoppers. The game starts at 7:15.

Now, you might say just to wait the extra hour and a half, but I'm also hungry, dammit.

Not sure if I'm starting to get sick or if it's a combination of the cooling weather and the office being really stuffy.

Hot take: Pokemon Colosseum and Pokemon XD are precursors to Pokemon Legends: Arceus and Pokemon Legends: ZA.

(also, release them Switch Online, Nintendo.)

I habe now fixed my hormone levels and feel significantly less irritated.
Yup, there it is. The irritability i get when I forget to take my estrogen. This is why I normally keep a few doses in my purse. But I forgot to refill the pill case in my purse.

I don't see a disconnect from who I was pre-egg crack. I just see someone who hasn't figured out how to really take care of herself yet.

What actually changed since I started my transition? Well, not much. I just started actually giving a damn about my appearance and who I wanted to be.
How do you explain what happened to your past self once you transitioned?

Are they dead? Alive within you? Never alive in the first place? Or something else entirely?

First new drum controller in over 10 years. So frustrating that this coming after Rock Band 4 is dead.

Likely means that whatever Red Octane has cooking is a full band game, though.

Can't say I'm particularly surprised at the "Democrats have decisively won an election. Here's why that's bad for the Democrats" headlines going aro7nd.

Long overdue. I don't think Pelosi is as awful as a lot people do, but she ain't great and should have let someone younger take the reigns literally decades ago.

I'm perplexed by the absolute *hatred* of Xbox r/Consoles has. Every time it pops up on my feeds, it's either dooming or complaining about Xbox. It's to the point of absurdity.

And this isn't a defense of Xbox. I just think it's been very clear what direction Microsoft has been leaning for a while.

The new Nintendo Store app has a playtime history on it for some reason. This doesn't just include Switch and Switch 2. It also includes 3DS and Wii U.

The only non-Switch game in my "over 100 hours" category is Pokémon Y.

I did not expect Pokémon Y.
