Most of you who have worked with me know how hard I try to give homes for pieces that mean a lot to people. How hard we work to make sure we can commission pieces when they've fallen through elsewhere. It's rough out there and we can really only get through this big ol' mess if we help each other <3

TW: SA In light of this Cornell insanity, here’s your reminder to check on the women in your life who are absorbing all of this. Even if they haven’t brought it up. Even if they seem fine. As someone who was assaulted in college, I can’t go 15 minutes without thinking about all of this right now.

For @gamespot.com, I explored the Ocarina of Time remake's take on Sheik and how early impressions have left me fearful that his androgyny is being left behind. He's a character with nuanced queer history I hope Nintendo is at least slightly in tune with. www.gamespot.com/articles/the...

The Legend Of Zelda: Ocarina Of Time’s Sheik Is Nothing Without Their Androgyny

Nintendo needs to preserve Sheik’s androgyny in The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake.

I didn't expect my GameSpot debut to tackle neo-feudalism, class solidarity and how The Blood of Dawnwalker's take on power and exploitation makes it a very fitting fantasy for our times. But I'm glad it turned out that way.

Ed Sheeran crying and saying he thought about quitting music over criticism towards his bitch ass non-stance (which is a stance, btw) is a new level of white fragility and self-victimization my god. 21,000 kids dead but yes, your tour almost not happening is the real tragedy

Unfortunately (or fortunately, for those drowning in games) it sounds like Wolverine isn't as great as the Spidey games. I highly recommend @tamoorh.com's review, which offers really sharp insights on why this game doesn't play to Insomniac's strengths. www.gamespot.com/reviews/wolv...

Wolverine Only Aims As High As Its Stout Hero

Insomniac Games takes a very safe step into the world of X-Men.
