I want to say it cannot be said enough how important it is for other men to say things about this shit. In the moment, or ASAP My first ever game dev event I was sexually harassed (assaulted?) by a Sony exec while all of my coworkers saw and said nothing Please say something, for people that can't

I am just so tired of women experiencing so much violence in this industry and then just being expected to keep working like nothing is happening

Are you a cis man feeling disgusted at the news? Good. Use that. Talk to your fellow men about what you're going to do to make our industry and our world safer. And then actually do it. You may lose friends or opportunities, but a better and safer industry and world starts with you.

why is it that women always have to be the first to speak up. men don’t face professional consequences for making allegations. why must we bear further psychological trauma in an attempt to have merely a chance at justice

I'm so excited by some of the games (particularly indie) coming out at the moment but it's really hard to shake the feeling that the throughline between the games that first made me fall in love with the medium and the new iterations of those games coming out now has been totally severed by capital.

You should assume to a first approximation that basically every AAA game franchise with a sufficiently large cast has a dating sim pitch sitting around that the designers were perfectly serious about but got laughed off by someone higher up

Don’t call layoffs and closures stuff like “reset” or “refresh” or “rejuvenation” or “rejigger” or “reshuffle” unless you’re trying to get clapped.

Feel this could have been timed a bit further out from "we've signed Kojima's new game. The one Sony said was running into budget issues. The one that Kojima's said they've not decided on an engine for (?!) despite scanning all their actors."

bad vibes on this site today, enjoy these pictures of our dogs at the park from earlier

A photo of our Brittany Spaniel named Kirby laying in grass with his mouth open in a big smile

A photo of our dog Kona, a black Formosan Mountain Dog mix with big upright ears. She is standing on grass, with her mouth open in a big smile. She has lots of slobber in her mouth because she has been playing with a ball.

Erika Ishii's inclusion is not a "controversial announcement". This is elevating weird gamergaters' boring whining as deserving of attention. There's no "sides" to this, there's no "issue": It's a talented performer who's done nothing wrong being hated for who they are.
