Yesterday's news about Jacob Geller broke my heart, so much that I couldn't stop dwelling on it all day. In an effort to make sense of this horrific news and my admittedly complicated feelings about it, here is my article on the Jacob Geller situation: epiloguegaming.com/what-do-we-d...

For anyone curious why you'd think this is the Steam Deck 2 chip specifically; the Steam Deck chips have had FF7 inspired codenames. The 6nm refreshed chip in the OLED is codenamed Sephiroth.

This sucks for many reasons. But I think it's worth emphasizing how selfish and duplicitous it is to go work with a public-facing, community-focused media org like MinnMax without disclosing this part of your past to them. (MinnMax confirmed to me they were not told.) Please support them if you can

It likely comes as no surprise that Flanagan has done it again with CARRIE. This reimagining is as clever as the girls are cruel, and Sam Sloyan — who in a just world would have multiple Emmys by now — gives a career best performance as Margaret White. www.thewrap.com/creative-con...

I know this is being done with good intentions so I say it with all love: Dudes, when women are expressing fear and disappointment over a predator who was by all outward appearances safe and kind, that’s not the time to, how should I put this, humble-boast about how *you’re* one of the safe ones. ⬇️

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 think it’s important to say that you are NEVER being an inconvenience complaining to a PR person at ANY event if someone/something is making you uncomfortable. In fact, your voice will be taken so seriously that I’d wager you’re helping someone you don’t even know in the future.

While this isn't connected to an event, it's continually evident why many women and even some men in gaming feel unsafe. If you ever feel that way, please say something to anyone you trust.

Going to add onto this: We don't have a huge budget at MMORPG, but I've tried to make it a space many of my more talented peers can find somewhere to file a story or take on an opp while looking for broader work. It's led to, what I think is at least, one of the most diverse writing teams in games.
