It’s been hard to think or care about anything else lately.

A poem in a leather bound notebook that reads:

There will be a day

There will be a day,
Where you and I can lay,
And wiggle our toes in the sand,
On a familiar beach and tan,
(Well, I’ll probably burn),
Even so,
There will be an afternoon,
Where you and I can go,
Poke our nose and float,
Through museum galleries in Boston,
Sit and admire, get lost in,
Brush strokes and marble sculpted,
Exuberant and exalted,
There will be a night,
Where the stars ignite,
The New York City skyline,
Your smile reflected in a glass of sparkling wine,
There will be a week,
Where we hop on a plane to somewhere new,
Italy, Japan, oh and Ireland too,
Getting lost to find ourselves,
No more pain to bind ourselves,
There will be a day,
A week,
A year,
Until then my love,
Every day, I’m here

I shouldn’t let one crazy email get to me this much but I just want to make it clear: I obviously did not know. I found out at the exact same time as everyone else. It has been extremely difficult to deal with emotionally and I do appreciate everyone who’s reached out so much.

Rape culture is so prevalent that there are dudes in the comments of Lost in Cult’s IG post about severing ties with Geller stating that his OWN ADMISSION OF GUILT does not make it true. Sexual assault is SO “extremely serious” that even a man confessing he did it is not enough to establish guilt.

I reviewed End of Abyss A game that so deeply misunderstands why exploration can be intoxicating in metroidvanias, how backtracking to old areas elicits elation. Instead it becomes a slog early on and never fully recovers

men in gaming don’t realize that no one is blameless when the culture is against women. i cried at SGF bc i was surrounded by male peers commenting on how i looked, not understanding that it made me feel just as alone as when the random guy on the street told me to lift my skirt

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.

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?

Are you a cis man feeling disgusted at the news? Good. Use that. Talk to your fellow men about what you're going to do to make our industry and our world safer. And then actually do it. You may lose friends or opportunities, but a better and safer industry and world starts with you.

Still feels like no one on here is talking about this. With my whole chest, fuck you if you continue to stay silent. Him and anyone else who abuses / assaults anyone should be scared of US.

why is it that women always have to be the first to speak up. men don’t face professional consequences for making allegations. why must we bear further psychological trauma in an attempt to have merely a chance at justice

Wild that it took multiple women in the industry, and beyond, sharing a ResetEra thread to get this in front of people's eyes. That should never be the case. Absolutely abhorrent at all levels.
