Since Polygon is leaving it out of the headline: Epic Games partnered with The Game Awards to put money into the pocket of a bigot who uses her wealth to further the genocide of trans people through lawsuits and legislation. Every 'free' game gives money directly to JKR, and they are complicit.

Epic pays for licensing fees for the games they give away for free as promotions. Which means even if YOU aren't paying for it, you're giving money to JK Rowling to harm transgender people AND elevating her stature by giving her franchise higher numbers. NO TERF WIZARD GAME. NO TERF WIZARD SHOW.

I got offered a LOT of money to host an official HP podcast and turned it down immediately. I’m assuming since I am not a podcaster that they have an extremely long list of people who have also said no to this. Dunno what‘s going on with the actors but the comics are holding the line lol

If your business model doesn’t work without breaking the law, you’re not in business. You’re in organized crime.

That's probably not good right? Erm... go team Raynaud's.

There's going to be a new Stargate show, and it won't be a reboot. Well... I'm cautiously optimistic. Fingers crossed for some familiar faces.

Happy first anniversary to Dragon Age: The Veilguard. Despite there being plenty of problems, I have genuinely loved playing it and adore all the new companions.

There is something truly remarkable about Generative AI. Several years in this revolution, half of the US GDP dumped to make these tools free, and i can't think of a single generated artifact, text, image, sound, video that had a significant cultural impact.

You know what? It's time for a Farscape rewatch. It's been too long.

This is utterly heartbreaking. Not just for the insanely talented people that made up TheGamer's features team, but also for gaming journalism in general.

As always, today is a good day to support artists, writers, creators. If you have the means, maybe consider signing up for a Patreon. Buy a book, a game, a painting. Commission a new piece. Tell a creator what they mean to you. Signal boost their work.

It's 2 weeks until Halloween and you know what that means? Halloween one-shots! I've launched my Patreon to give a little help for DMs by providing a series of evocative descriptions for Places and People that can be easily used in your #TTRPG campaigns and one-shots. #DnD #DungeonsAndDragons

Imagine pretending that you've never heard of suffering. Imagine pretending that pain is meaningless. Imagine being a high-profile performer and pretending that 'let's all live together' brushes everything under the rug. Protect our #Trans family - ignorant apathy is running wild

I have an appointment later today at 4pm. So, of course, my entire day is going to be filled up with me thinking about the appointment until then. Thanks brain.

Putting out a call: if you were part of WOTC’s late-2010s live events (Stream of Many Eyes, D&D Live, The Descent), I would love to talk to you as part of the Actual Play book. [email protected] will reach me, either to schedule a chat or to share your memories. Please feel free to share.

Well... I was planning on getting some more writing done today on my fun TTRPG project. But instead I'm sat with an ice pack to my hand after getting stung by a wasp. Ow! 😭 It's October! Why are you still around little dude?

Spent the weekend chilling playing Tiny Bookshop. OMG, it is so cute. I needed this. How has it taken me this long to get into cozy games?

I've been pushing forward with a fun new project, and it feels so good to be writing with my own voice once again. I'm hoping to get the first part finished for mid-October in time to help people who are planning some Halloween TTRPG adventures. #KofiCreativeVoice #writing ko-fi.com/post/October...

With alt text because this made me cry 😭

Buyers: So your games... guns and football, yes? EA: Mmhmm, mmhmm, mostly guns and football, yep. Buyers: No gay stuff? No politics we're not going to like? EA: Haha, definitely not! Hey, could you give me one sec? I just need to shut down a studio real quick. kotaku.com/report-saudi...

“I use it for brainstorming.” is quickly becoming my most hated pro-AI statement. YOU TOOK YOUR BRAIN OUT OF THE EQUATION. THAT IS NOT BRAINSTORMING.

Sent my feedback in today. Would hate to see this platform pull a Tumblr crash and burn.

Take your Kimmel protest energy and use it to freeze out that hateful JKR too! Maybe HP was a part of your childhood. Well now it's a slap in the face and a dagger in the back of people who just wanna live. Don't let her see a dime!

Not looking too bad for 43 if I do say so myself.

Spend the day watching High Rollers and chatting about D&D with my sister... and oh boy, did I need it. Cake, chocolate, and campaign plotting were the perfect medicines for the past 5 months I've had.

Anyone else getting phantom notifications recently?

Camelworks has lost access to his old channel. So please, if you've ever watched any of his fantastic videos, go and give some love and support. I love his lore deep dives and can't recommend them enough for anyone who loves all things Elder Scrolls. #ElderScrolls #TES #Skyrim #Morrowind #Obivion

Visa and Mastercard reportedly coming for FAIRIES and CAT EARS Get on the phone and ask them wtf is up because this even made me double take bsky.app/profile/dark...

This is Korra's grumpy face when I interrupt her TV time. #caturday

Wow it's almost like it's actually an objectively well made game and is actually fun with amazing characters and good story telling! 😅😭 #DragonAgeTheVeilguard #DAV

Catching up with @highrollersdnd.bsky.social and I'm up to episode 68. I keep having to pause from laughing. 10/10 from everyone.

WE ARE LIVE!!! 🔥Back the Scorched Basin NOW 🔥 www.kickstarter.com/projects/hom...

I've been job hunting for writing jobs and the amount of AI "editor" and "writer" roles out there is disheartening. If only there was a solution that created good content first time...

> "41% of Millennial and Gen Z employees admit they’re sabotaging their company’s AI strategy, for example by refusing to use AI tools or outputs translation: workers who know how to do work correctly keep the business on rails in spite of the bosses who can't tell answer-shaped output from answers

As some of you know, I got let go recently. As a freelance writer, that is par for the course, but it does leave me in a bit of a pickle until I can find something new. So I've set up a Ko-Fi. 1/2

It’s a scary day in the HaTD office 😬 The project we’ve dedicated over a years of our lives to comes out on Kickstarter tomorrow! 🤮 Luckily we have a ton of support from this amazing community. But as confident we are that the Scorched Basin is ready for the world, its definitely nerve racking 🤞

I miss Lower Decks #StarTrek

As someone who has lost family to suicide I find this Chat GPT case particularly horrific. Someone needs to be held accountable. These things steal, lie, damage the environment, and actively encourage people to harm themselves. Oh, but sure, let's keep insisting that this is progress. 🙄

if a human being was caught talking with a minor about suicide this way they'd face criminal charges

Just a reminder, banning porn doesn't just mean going after OnlyFans or Pornhub. It also means banning written erotica. Smutty voice audios. Video games with sexual content. Your favorite romantasy novels. Fetish photography. Erotic art. It's never just about pornographic films.

I live practically next door to a small park, and all summer they've been having various bands on. It's been great to chill on a Sunday and listen to the music. But today... I have no idea who is playing but the way the music is drifting through the park to my window sounds spooky and otherworldly.

Back from Manchester Pride with very sore feet but totally worth it for a great day. Missed hanging out with the gang.

My time at Screen Rant has come to an end, but I'm looking forward to seeing what comes next. If anyone knows of any writing opportunities, please let me know. I have over 4 years of experience writing about games, specifically RPGs and TTRPGs. So if you need a professional nerd, I'm your girl.

I keep typing ghould instead of ghoul for my latest Fallout article. Think I might have been watching too much Stargate. 😂

To whom it may concern at @bsky.app @jessiegender has received more hatred and vitriol in her career simply for being a trans person daring to exist in a public space. People like J.K.Rowling and her cronies have organised dog piles to ruin her life - please dont be part of that Reinstate her.

I rewatched Steven Universe and now I'm crying. 😭 Don't know how I forgot what an emotional punch this show packs... but here we are.
