Was genuinely surprised at how much trouble Ace has been giving me. Makes for a fun challenge, but now I'm afraid to set it to normal and see if it's a matter of difficulty or a skill diff

In an act of defiance, I'm going to be hosting my OWN Game Awards this year. The Lawrence Awards. It's gonna be so fucking awesome.

Me standing on a vista and gazing out into the distance standing next to EVE from Stellar Blade. Off in the distance there's a large wooden sign that says "The Lawrence Awards / December something'th." There's also a large statue of the Game Award sinking in some water.

For a long time now, I've thought of being able to play video games as their own form of literacy/language. It's insane how much gameplay can be intuited by a player, but it's even crazier seeing how someone can sit there with the dictionary right in front of them but not know which words to use.

Watching people who don't play video games play video games makes me think that maybe Insomniac was onto something with all the blue lines and white paint in Wolverine

Incredible response and this section in particular is a belief that I've stuck to for a while now.

"Let me be clear: you are not a victim of what Geller did. You watched a YouTube video (or several) and believed in a public persona of goodness crafted by a man who has none. This is not about you, and framing it that way is disturbing. You should consider why you need this to be about you. You may have your own personal response to Geller and his work, but there is no "we." There is just each of us, and how we deal with it ourselves.

My favorite pieces that I've ever written are the ones that were published on SC because they forced me to really think about what I was playing. Did you know how much sex there is in DOOM? A lot. Like, plenty. It's pretty cool.

I wouldn't be half as passionate about writing if Artemis hadn't done what she did with Stop Caring and opened my brain up immensely to how I think about art (including videogames!). Send her your support if you like reading great words by great writers :)

Don't have much to say about Geller that everyone else hasn't already said. It's incredibly easy to not rape someone. It's incredibly easy to treat people with respect and not be a scumbag. It's very easy to make sure the people around you are safe, and I'm very happy that I don't have any idols.

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

I am confident in one thing: the outpouring of support Stop Caring and myself have received in the last few days have made it clear the publiction will continue, hopefully for many more years. Worse comes to shove, we WILL make something work. Now's a great time to support: www.stopcar.ing

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?

This is a good time as any to tell you that the diversity of Stop Caring was a complete accident. I didn't go out into the world looking specifically for women and queer people that wanted to write about video games. I looked at quality of the pitches and work, first and foremost.

Let it be known that I haven't played a musou game in probably close to a decade, and I probably won't play Wolverine for a while. But still, is this a thought that can go anywhere?

After hearing all the buzz about Wolverine, I kind of wonder if there's any cross comparison worth exploring between character action mashfest & Dynasty Warriors games (hit the buttons but there's like, numbers and skills and stuff)
