Rebecca was one of the founders of Interplay and programmed & designed for some of the most influential games of my youth, notably Bard's Tale I & III and Wasteland. She will be missed.

Both of these games sound like they would have been amazing but it seems so difficult to get rpgs funded nowadays. Especially if it's a genre/ip that's niche. Which sucks cos those are usually my favourite.
The Road to Summerfall - Part 3

I haven't talked a lot about the two years I spent at Beamdog (between 2016 and 2018) mainly because, well, ultimately nothing came of it. I worked on two projects, both of which ended up cancelled. Still, I think the time I spent there was ultimately worthwhile.

This is a fascinating effort to reinforce a rigid definition that most lesbians would reject?

Also, consequentially, straight men dating trans women are now legally gay, gay men dating trans men are now straight, and two trans men in a couple are now, for legal purposes, lesbians.
Going through the For Some Women decision, and something I haven't seen mentioned elsewhere is that the court took it upon itself to define lesbians in a way that excludes some cis lesbians and includes some straight trans men.

The UK has gone down such a dark path and people just seem completely unwilling to wake up from it.

This year, Pride must rise again as a protest—louder, prouder, and more urgent than ever.

All Pride events should also ban political parties that have enacted rulings against LGBTQ people. I don’t want to see Labour or Tories at any Pride event this year.

Look, I'm not a fancy CEO guy, but if someone said to me "the key to this successful single-player IP's success is to make it purely a multiplayer game. No, not a spin off: fundamentally change the DNA of what people loved about the core game" to me, I'd probably, like, quit that job or something.

This video game would have sold better if it were a completely different game. I am very wise.

I'll echo Mike here and highly recommend both Karin and Patrick to anyone looking for a fantastic and highly-experienced editor or writer, respectively.

And, just once, I'd like to see a studio announce these kinds of layoffs without making it sound like a cheery plus for the company.

If you are a straight, cis person and you feel that fucking knot in your stomach about what the administration is doing right now to trans people and trans children, you have to at the very fucking least say out loud in front of your friends and peers in real life "this is fucked up."

When your immediate reaction to the news of a teenage trans girl being stabbed nine times is to think, “Surely she must have done something to provoke this,” it’s clear that you are the problem, not trans people.

OK so saw Wicked and I really liked it but also I don't feel like it needed to be so long and drawn out. It's like they extended every scene and added in so much stuff all of which seemed unnecessary.

Everything feels so awful atm politically. Palestine, Ukraine, Trump, trans rights, really all minority acceptance seems to be regressing. A lot of people are being more openly bigoted again. For a while it felt like maybe we could make some progress.

can't tell you what it feels like to work in the NHS as a trans woman right now. giving my life to this service while it's being run by a man who is actively malevolent towards me
Wes Streeting appears to have asked the anti-trans nurses to draw up NHS guidance on trans people.

Bethany Hutchison, one of the nurses, said that she hoped their “commonsense” proposals would set a “precedent for all public services and workplaces in the UK”.

ALL workplaces.

ALL.

Put your fucking phone away in the cinema. Don't turn to your friend and chat. Don't even whisper, it's more audible than you think. Sit and watch the film like a grown-up. "But I bought a ticket" so did everyone else in there stfu
