the cycle of “devs working for years to make a game > game launches (and it doesn’t matter how successful it is) > two week waiting period > most of the team laid off” is not only entirely unsustainable but genuinely horrifying

DROPSHOT in 6 days! store.steampowered.com/app/3465190/...

she has to be a support bc i need to obsessively play as her/make her my whole personality her kit should involve a cute lil mascot, like a doll that she carries around à la lulu final fantasy x and she has to be SO CUTE like juno’s cute partner in crime ok

[bravely] we need a kawaii Latina hero in overwatch

i feel like i need to be kidnapped and studied in a lab because truly WHAT has compelled me to take my first proper vacation in months, look at my ridiculous backlog, and think "u know... i just think it'd be a good idea to play overwatch all day the whole week"

feel the same way. so happy for the developers, who quietly worked on getting overwatch back to a position where they could kick this soft re-launch off and make it as best as can be. i love this game so much and am grateful for their work. may overwatch stick around for many more decades to come!

like??? hello????????????????

people saying domina overwatch is a budget emma frost from marvel rivals I KNOW WHAT YOU ARE

contrary to its content, this video makes me immensely happy every time i see it

“Four of my children just evaporated,” Badran said, holding back tears. “I looked for them a million times. Not a piece was left. Where did they go?” There are no words to adequately describe the evil here.

The Heritage Foundation has released a 250-year roadmap to “save America.” The document is a how-to guide for subjugating girls & young women: a detailed plan to push them out of college, funnel them into early marriage and motherhood, and then trap them there. jessica.substack.com/p/theyre-com...

love to be on vacation and stuck in the overwatch queue…….. i’ve been obsessively playing for days and now I caN’T………. we are so back

Rep. Delia Ramirez to DHS officials: "I have as much respect for you as I do for the last white men who put on masks to terrorize communities of color. I have no respect for the inheritors of the Klanhood and the slave patrol. Those activities were criminal and so are yours."

HAPPY OVERWATCH DAYYYYYYY

don't worry guys bobo is alive and well,,, (congratulations to our friends on the Overwatch team for the explosive (😏) new season!!!)

moving in with a dear friend in Vancouver and yesterday we received the news that got our dream apartment!!!! 😭💖

Dismissed because of jurisdictional confusion, it should be stressed, rather than any new revelation that would discredit the survivors of sexual assault who have come forward.

“Please enjoy the museum”: Relooted is OUT NOW! Please share!

idk but this country has worked pretty hard to make you feel fuckin miserable for being Latino so I’m still riding the high of one show reminding everyone that being Latine is one of the coolest things in the world

had the biggest jumpscare of my life last night when i realized that, in 2016, i was playing overwatch all day to the point it was the closest i'd ever come to a video game addiction................................ guess what's happening exactly 10 years later

Crockett: "The US is falling apart, partially bc he's allowing for killings in the street, but also bc we have a 34 count convicted felon being shielded from any type of accountability as it relates to a child sex trafficking ring. I don't understand why we're pretending any of this is normal."

Riot Games lays off roughly 80 employees from 2XKO team

Weird thing to write but for the first time in ten years I'm looking for a new job. Current contract is up after May so if you see anything that seems like a fit for me keep me in mind!

thank you to my fans

Big feature about the #RemoveKagawa movement and fans feeling that the bloom has been off the rose for the Yakuza/Like A Dragon games, with this latest controversy being a last straw for many.

Technically poor and hurried, devoid of the original's charm, and full of filler content and baffling changes, Yakuza Kiwami 3 is a 20/100, a 2/10, a one-star game. It's a seismic miss that left me questioning my love for the series. My review: www.gamerguides.com/yakuza-kiwam...

yakuza kiwami 3 is an insult to the game rgg has purported to remake, its players, the studio's previous quality output and, bewilderingly, women. oh, and the casting of an admitted sex pest. i'm somewhere between dejection and fury. my review for vgc: www.videogameschronicle.com/review/yakuz...

did i spend 50 dollars for this skin. yes. was it worth it. also yes

woke up to watch the benito bowl first thing. i felt so proud while watching it. and when he shouted Nicaragua, my mom’s home country, that pride crescendoed. i hope to be born Latina in every life, every timeline. no white person, no ICE agent, no pedophile president will take that away from me.

Relooted, a game about freeing real African artifacts from Western museums and collections, interrogates history through sharply designed heists. Our review: www.avclub.com/relooted-gam...

Overwatch Actor Calls Out Her Hero's 'Ozempic-Chic' Character Design As Fans Beg For Changes https://kotaku.com/overwatch-anran-face-comparison-change-voice-fareeha-2000666873

i don't go here, but the team with the word "patriots" in its title losing the benito bowl is so... the world's narrative designer is cooking i fear

i slept until 1:30pm today, played overwatch all day, and i'm on vacation until friday... yeah i love my stupid chungus life #latina #latinathings #latinapower #badbunny #shadowthehedgehog

call me "woke" or whatever but I think the Superbowl should have less football and more dancing latinas

“If I’m here at Super Bowl LX, it’s because I never stopped believing in myself. You should never stop believing in yourself either. It’s worth more than you think.” —Bad Bunny

i love being latina :) and nobody will ever make me ashamed of that #brag

Genuinely gives me a lot of hope that the NFL is a cynical, cash-motivated organization and they're betting on this being the future

spending Super Bowl Sunday as god intended: playing overwatch

damn, the bravery of these women is just incredible.

both games writers & games journalists face the same misguided perception: that their experience is too niche & they can "only" do games writing/games journalism... even though they must consider angles & do the kind of work that no other non-games writer or journalist needs to think about

I'm currently working contracts while searching for more long-term employment. I'm trying to stay afloat, and I've sent dozens of applications (within and outside of games jobs) this month alone, but I'm struggling. If you can comfortably donate, anything helps 💛 ko-fi.com/grimdev/goal...

love overwatch having the game's voice talent perform the comics. they've been doing this for a while, but it took until last week's announcement for me to notice! fantastic way of alerting people to the existence of the comics and tying them more closely to the game www.youtube.com/watch?v=zB_n...

this season of bridgerton is SO good. a bit biased because i love benedict's character, but the yearning is CRAZY and i love bridgerton finally tackling class. this season feels so s2-core, which everyone knows is the best season, so i'm elated over the four episodes i spent today devouring

Wrote about my feelings on the Baldur's Gate show and the various ways this announcement felt like such a "what the fuck" right out the gate
