a stone staircase spirals up towards us: at the bottom, a figure in a tunic and phrygian cap looks about as he approaches the first steps; a short way up, the figure is sprawled on the steps, his head cleanly sliced off; further up, his hand is vanishing into green sludge which fills a pit that has opened in the steps; a few steps higher, he is pinned in place by a vertical row of spears jutting from holes in the wall; up a few more steps, he has been crushed by a block of stone cut to fill the width of the stairs; almost at the top, only a pair of smoking shoes remain by the metal grille in the floor through which the glow of fire can be seen; at the top, having reached the landing, the figure looks down at his foot as the floor tile he's stepped on has just depressed with a 'click!'

Seeing and hearing the word “hope” a lot when it comes to games lately. Usually boils down to some flavor of “I hope this person or group with the power or purse strings chooses to do the right thing this time”. Idk, as long as there’s no recourse for mistreating workers, what’s there to hope for?

I wonder if there was anything anyone could have done these past few years to tamp down or perhaps discourage the conditions that made games hostile for normal, regular people………..guess we’ll never know…………..

This is so basic, so fundamental to my understanding of what criticism is, and yet for decades various readers, writers, game developers and others have been hell-bent on resisting this notion when it comes to games criticism specifically.

Hey everyone. 

Last night, to my great surprise, I received a long email from Saber Interactive CEO Matt Karch. He apologized unreservedly for the awful way he spoke about me in the press. The email’s full text will stay between us; I’m not that kind of girl. But I have confirmed it was from him. 

Matt said he regretted escalating, and how people online were speaking about me. I’m not worried about being called slurs by random commenters—I’m a trans woman, that’s every day for me—but it stunk to have my skill and reputation built of 20 years in games publicly maligned by someone with institutional power. One thing I saw people saying about me, and that Matt fueled the flames of too, was that this is not my first time calling a former employer out, so I must love drama or be hard to work with. The truth is, bad treatment is everywhere in games; I’m just more willing than others to call it out. And I call it out so maybe others will be willing, too, when it happens to them.

 I’ve been firm from the beginning that I was telling the truth; I think we can all now agree that’s been borne out. Matt expressed a desire to make it right with me; at this time I don’t really know what that looks like for me, and I’ll have to take some time to sit with it, but I do at least accept his apology. None of this changes my stance on AI. Matt and I obviously differ on this, and as a CEO the consequences of its use fall on him, and unfortunately also on his employees.

Apologies are simply in too short a supply these days to spurn one when it’s offered. 

God willing, this is the last statement I’ll need to make about this.

My most niche complaint lately is that it’s common parlance in competitive Pokémon to say a mon “lives” an attack instead of “survives” (I.e. charizard can live a rock slide before fainting)

Today is the birthday of cartoonist Jackie Ormes (Aug. 1, 1911-Dec. 26, 1985), the first Black woman to create a newspaper comic strip that was read nationally in the US. She created Torchy Brown in Dixie to Harlem, Torchy in Heartbeats & Patty-Jo ‘n’ Ginger. Patty Jo became a toy doll.

i also can't imagine spx or mice monitoring your social media posts and discouraging tabling artists from talking about rushing workor 'crunching' on their comic because it somehow cheapens the product or reflects poorly on the fair. that is not normal. that is weird surveillance/cop behavior.
