not engaging with the wizard show (yes, even through piracy) is a gesture. it's literally the tiniest gesture of solidarity you can make, and it says a lot if that's too hard

Idc how you feel about Chris as a content creator. Everybody should listen to this bc nobody seems to understand intersectionality in practice I have dealt with so much drama over the past year bc of fetishization and objectification BY OTHER FEMS bc of their own insecurities about me existing.

The “Dragon Age: Veilguard” character creator is so powerful, including lots of thoughtful additions that meaningfully add to its inclusivity… …and I’ll also never get over the fact that it’s almost impossible to make a character without cheekbones so sharp they overwhelm me each time I see them. 😂

Hey you know what the Actual play space needs? The normalization of peer reviewing shows. Nothing negative. I feel like as creators we consume less and less in our own space. We should change that. When I was in comics I read other comics, why should it be different now? Also bring back Game Feels

Even though I’ve retired from YouTube (game feels) I 1000 percent agree with this. The best way for us to be in touch with the state of actual play is for us to listen to other shows, and share our thoughts. Getting positive feedback is huge for any creator or performer.
