The “Jason Universe”-ification of IP is a weird trend that can be done wrong, but Mike Dougherty is doing it right with Sam. Was cool to talk to Mike last week and connect him to @bjcolangelo.bsky.social for this piece. (And his restored 1996 short is gorgeous!) www.fangoria.com/sam-the-soul...

i think men especially should stop saying things like "this is THE take" re: Geller, and i think more than anything that framing pushback they see as The Internet At Large piling on a trans woman is a grievous mistake. a vast proportion of that pushback is also from trans women. take a step back.

Technotopia is by far, one of the most incredibly fascinating games I've ever played, and makes brilliant use of a tight budget to convey complex ideas better than some major releases. It also goes on sale for like $1 USD. Pick it up when you can.

#StarWars Galactic Racer fucking rules. As someone who's been begging for the franchise to get back to the racing genre for decades, it's everything I'd hoped for and more, even as it was kicking my ass. Check out my review. @starwarsgracer.bsky.social www.cinelinx.com/games/review...

Star Wars: Galactic Racer is absolutely a Star Wars game, but that’s the least interesting aspect of it. It is one of the year’s best racers, and an excellent and unique roguelite. More in my review below👇

Star Wars: Galactic Racer is fantastic. One of the best post-LucasArts SW games and straight-up the finest and most inventive arcade racer in ages.

jess is right! it’s worse than ever for women in this field, and it was still pretty bad at our peak. im one of the lucky freelancers who has regular work (probably work more than i did at polygon!), and it’s still not a livable amount of pay. it’s pushing important and skilled women out.

"The mood is certainly 'let's not celebrate the game until we're three months post launch, just in case', which is very unusual." Gears dev Coalition unsurprisingly fearful of layoffs as E-Day launches. Xbox remaining layoffs "hanging over our heads". Great report by @connormakar.bsky.social

It’s the first and I want to remind y’all we’re in the worst economy I’ve experienced as an adult. So, so many people are out of work & have been for a while. It’s the worst time to be job hunting. So if you see a GFM, mutual aid request or plea for help?

..i think people whose kneejerk response is to find any reason why -not- to believe these things when women put themselves on the line to make us aware should really take a good hard look at themselves. ask why you so badly need it not to be true. there's a bunch of corroboration, but still.

I feel like I have so much I want to say but it’s just this incoherent ramble. But do you know how much it weighs on me to be the one woman on staff at GameSpot? To be one of VERY few women in the industry? To be one of ever fewer moms? To walk into press events and be the *sole* woman?

Watch Firefly Wedding.

But there are levels to this shit. Some shows aren’t “I can fix him;” some, like Studio Deen’s adaptation of Asuka Konishi’s Yakuza Fiancé, are shows where “we can make each other worse.” The x-factor in these stories is that they play with the neck hair-raising fight-or-flight response of their headstrong heroines wandering—whether willfully or out of abject defiance—into a romance with dangerous men. Compared to its contemporaries, toxic romance anime of its ilk is sprawling. It’s big, it’s fun, it's fucked up! But that very danger makes it hard to put down.

Firefly Wedding brings to the table a romance anime that walks the razor’s edge of violent, funny, and hilarious, an addition to this pantheon.
