America's first ever esports champion was Rebecca Heineman, a trans woman. She went on to found some of your favorite video game studios and worked on your favorite video games. Next time you see somebody rail about 'woke' and 'DEI'
Remember that.

She sees your fandom as affirmation, your money as funding for the harm she causes to trans people.
It doesn't matter how you feel about her work, whether it was a formative touchstone or not. If you still buy the merch or hype up Harry Potter, you are complicit.

Hey yall not what I wanted to do on my birthday but let it be clear
"Death of the artist" is all well & good but you cannot Seperate the art from the artist when the artist is still alive, a terf & every penny they recieve reinforces their beliefs & is used to actively harm Trans folks!
Let it Go!

My cohost says I’m the Roger Ebert of video games and after looking at some of his takes over the years I’m inclined to agree. It’s the only way for me to explain that Bloodlines 2 is on my top ten and Expedition 33 is not.

On this 20th anniversary of the Xbox 360 I thought I’d share some of my favorite B games from the console. One of the last times we had games of this tier come out regularly, and we’re worse off for it imo:

@gholson.bsky.social did our logo and I’ve been trying to get him into some art commission work.

Long time, no talk BlueSky! I’m workshopping a new, Christian podcast concept and I need a logo, instead of querying ChatGPT and getting an easy result with stolen assets. Currently out of a job, so I can’t pay much, but happy to compensate for quality work! Spread the word!

I think my time with Ball x Pit is at an end. I don’t think I ever clicked with the deeper mechanics and it seems like what I’m missing is grinding out a bunch of the base building stuff, which just doesn’t appeal to me at all. Totally get why people love it though

Black Ops 6 felt like this breath of fresh air. Like a studio given the freedom to do some new and interesting things in a franchise that doesn’t need to be interesting to sell millions of units.
BO7 feels like the most built by c-suite “ideas” thing I’ve seen in a long time.

Also, as a newish Hololive fan it was cool to see Pekora nominated last year and Miko this year. But considering the target audience I’m surprised that none of EN has gotten a nod. Biboo, Calli, Ceci, or Gigi seem like easy nominations

Only three games from my likely top ten were nominated for anything, so this is mostly vibes based. Great year for video games, but my favorite games this year were the 7 out of 10s for the most part, with some indies sprinkled in

Running into an issue with Dispatch that I had with the Telltale Batman games, which is that the stories can’t handle it if you don’t try to romance someone. WHAT DO MEAN YOU DON’T WANT INVISIGAL OR BLONDE BLAZER???
Sorry game, I don’t care for either of them.

Didn’t know about this game until it moved out of the way of Silksong, and it’s a shame, because I would have bought it right there and then since it’s 1000 times more my jam than Silksong. Glad to be able to grab it now!
Demonschool: Is OUT. It's out. Finally it is out. We hope you enjoy it.

Bloodlines 2 complete! Ending was a little bit of a buzzkill (and a really bullshit final boss), but it’s easily one of my top games of 2025
