One of the things to come from GamerGate was the gamification of torturing real, live women...hounding them out of their homes, making them look over their shoulders for years. It was treated as a joke, nbd, the work of a few bad apples--as all terrorism against women is--& that failure leads here.

This is why I am walking miles for the Young Center this month against my husband. Because babies should never, ever have to face this kind of thing.

[OC] Gorgonia, the Witch ~ 🌺😈💛 She's a scandalous punk, an over the top delinquent and a burgeoning demonologist! Wanting to save her homeland from a persistent demon incursion, she has taken to dominating demons! Her lich (great-great-...)grandmother decided to invest on this reckless dream ~

A short, stocky, tanned skinned woman with really long turquoise and purple hair, styled with a middle part and partially tied in a really big hair bun with a hair ornament seemingly fashioned after a rafflesia flower.
She's wearing a Gyaru style, scandalous school uniform like outfit. She's also wearing a leopard fur bra and stocking. She has purple eyes and thick purple lips.
She's flanked by her carnivorous plant-like demon pets! With long lashing thorny tails and huge tongues. The bigger one has a dog collar and leash on.

my issue with the lack of women of color in games media and journalism is how important their perspective is when reviewing games. im sorry and no shade but i dont think a white man will have the same perspective of a game like Venba than a woman of color (esp brown)

People always respond to stuff like this by speculating the person has himself raped someone and I'm certainly not going to discount the possibility but I think it discounts how much of misogyny is built on people who are in it for the love of the game

Hey folks, I had a big thread about AI and art that really popped off, and now I have some attention, so why don't I make a little thread of upcoming indie games I'm looking forward to that have neat artstyles? And a lot of these games will have demos to check out, so maybe give them a try?

Screenshot from Tenebris Somnia showing a creepy guy with head candles bathed in shadow

Screenshot from Hymm to the Eyeless God, showing a party based RPG with a top down view of a path through some woods, and it appears as if one of the insect like player characters is casting a spell.

Screenshot from Mandrake showing an isometric view of the interior of a building, a character called Nessa's portrait is on the left side and says "Thanks for coming to Pevenny with me Morgan. I'd have hated doing that alone."

Screenshot from Hark The Ghoul, there's a gaslight street lamp in a dark alleyway, on a crate sits a big wheel of cheese, underneath the lamp is a small rat like guy who might be cheesed to meet us.

Zill O'll Infinite is such an incredible looking game... I wanna do more runs of it but i'm still grumpy about how iffy the translation is....

Looking at the clouds, light shining down

Inside a fossilized creature in the desert, which has become a sort of organic cave

Facing a horrible looking pointy creature in a city

Confronting a large figure while surrounded by a swirl of clouds

Okay that if I'm wrong, the egg will most definitely be on my face; but can we all stop being so fucking credulous about the 'AI is slipping it's chains and will kill us all' talk; coming FROM the people trying to sell AI? Like, it seems so transparently a ploy to:

I saw this screenshot going around, found this detail charming, looked more into the game (I've never played a Silent Hill) & decided to buy it. Btw these are the "unimportant" background assets AI idiots think AI should be used for

Screenshot of a Twitter post by Val / @shegoingtogloat - it's a Silent Hill screenshot showing a close up of a cork board. On it, a paper says "Welcome to Shorefront Family Clinic" in a classic wiggly 3D font style. The tweet text is: Is this a Silent Hill asset made using PowerPoint lol"

While I love the success story (and own the game myself), this has, unfortunately, become fuel for sexists and misogynists to argue the following: "See? When you make games for GIRLS and KEEP THEM OUT of our BOYS GAMES, everybody wins!"

The youngest person his pager attack killed was 9-year-old Fatima Abdullah, who had just started 4th grade. The pager was on a table when it went off and she picked it up to take to her dad. It exploded in her face and reports said it covered the room in her blood. She wanted to learn English.

the news about Obsidian is super disheartening. It's always been one of my favourite studios, and that team feels like it's consistently put out fantastic and ambitious work while under oppressive schedules and limitations.

It’s wild seeing companies completely shred their trust with employees and partners. You still have to run a business (well maybe not??) and do you think anyone will trust you at your word. Get everything in a contract, don’t expect them to do the things they say they’ll do.

Struggling to find something to say about the Microsoft news. It's all just so uniformly terrible. For the devs let go, for the devs who remain, for the fans of their games, for the health of the medium & industry alike. No good has or will come of any of this, and I loathe those responsible.
