if Santa Ragione closes because of this, I'm recruiting a team of orcas to sink Gabe's yachts

this is insane both on its face and with several more insane details once you read the full thing

happy birthday, marianne! 🩵🐴🩵 #fe3h #marihilda

Classic trick for beating art block: when you have art block, draw Glory from Shadowrun Dragonfall #Shadowrun #cyborg #cyberpunk

It's so unfair that I can spend all day doing my favorite activities (listening to sad music and thinking about the thing that's making me sad) and still end up feeling sad afterward

Starting imminently, continuing our playthrough of @squirreledgame.bsky.social !!

preordering a hot girl by dating a sad boy for a while

tonight's stream with @stellarine.bsky.social starts at 8:30 Eastern! we're probably squirreling it up again www.twitch.tv/parallelplay...

America's first ever esports champion was Rebecca Heineman, a trans woman. She went on to found some of your favorite video game studios and worked on your favorite video games. Next time you see somebody rail about 'woke' and 'DEI' Remember that. Remember her.

my thoughts on the game awards nominees:

It really needs to be pointed out how every one of these embarrassing statements is made by a c-suite executive and not an artist or even art department lead

they should just serialize this whole thing, I would love to start every week with something this funny

Is that me!? Thank you! 🩷

Listen: the dodge button is B (A if you're playing on a Switch). If your game tries to make me dodge some other way, you've already fucked up

Once again, one very easy way for the New York Times to escape the constant criticism which it has found itself subject to these last years would be for it to stop acting in ways that completely justify all of the constant criticism which it has found itself subject to these last years.

we wanted to make samus’s experience as a capable woman more realistic, so we gave her an annoying man who thinks that he’s funny and constantly telling her what to do

👀👀👀

Starting imminently!!

we'll be streaming on www.twitch.tv/parallelplay... tonight around 8:30 ET! don't know what yet, find out with us

one benefit of taking forever to get around to games you want to play is it gives the devs time to come out as homophobic edgelords before you give them money

I tried to play a game about a cute mouse knitting sweaters but ended up fighting Godzilla-sized spiders, freezing to death because I couldn't find my way home, and forming a mutual aid network with a menagerie of aging woodland creatures

I need Joyce Carol Oates to be mean to me online so I can get my life together

I realized today it’s been 5 years since I started freelance writing! Here are my 5 current favorite pieces I’ve written to celebrate. One, my retrospective on Pyre from when I wrote at Paste Games (now endless mode)

why would anyone pay $1000 to go to the game awards when the obvious intended way to watch it is to take an edible and shit-talk over the whole thing with your friends in discord?

Starting imminently!!

here is my story about how Zohran's focus on community amid the loneliness epidemic helped young people connect their politics to an organizing infrastructure, that interviewed ZM, and does not use the NYT's framing of "they don't know how to make friends" :-) and also ran 4 days before NYT's lol

thats nuts

the lesson is clear: to save democracy, we as a nation must become fruitier

huh

thank you for all the support; the statement from our union is now live here with some more reporting. now that this is public I can confirm that the majority of today’s layoffs were women of color. there are no longer any Black women working at Teen Vogue.

So, You Wore A Dress For Halloween and Now You Want To Do It Every Day

Happy Halloween!! If you've got any Halloween parties you're going to tonight, here's Elvira from her 1984 MTV Halloween special with some good advice on creating the perfect Jack-o'-lantern

happy sad girl autumn to all who celebrate

marihilda in halloween costumes....

as we near the 48 hour period that marks my HRT and sobriety anniversaries, it's time for the post I do every year: if you have ever—for more than six minutes, total—considered that transition and/or sobriety might improve your quality of life, you should try it. your only regret will be waiting.

this is going to sound completely insane but what if a good thing happened

We're gonna have to skip tonight's stream sorryyyy. We'll be back next week, or maybe sooner. Who could say

happy birthday signalis

😭😭😭

i love my three-headed wife

I know things are rough for everyone right now but the idea that a critic as skilled as Willa could still be out of work is genuinely unfathomable. hire her!

it should be illegal to make a game for less than $1 billion and you should have to take out a mortgage to play one

Starting imminently!! Join us in a minute. Right on time

when trans people take HRT to feel normal: “look at these depraved sex freaks performing their sick fetish in public, we should bully them out of existence” when cis ppl take HRT so they can fuck real good:

man sometimes it really does just hit you that you're closing in on 40 and have only meaningfully been yourself for like 10% of that and nothing you can do will ever begin to make up for all that lost time huh
