I asked Marvel Rivals to explain what was offensive or inappropriate about my username multiple times, after having it for over 8 months and using it on not only their platform but other services as well without issue. This is their answer. #queererasure #homophobia #bigotry

Hey, @marvel-rivals.bsky.social, "queer" is not a slur. My username for the game has been "queer-time" since I started playing in Feb. That's my username for other platforms. It's never been an issue until today. This was clearly automated from a complaint and so was the support email response.

HNW is part of the 🏳️‍⚧️🕹️ Trans Games Zine 🏳️‍⚧️🕹️ project—a community-based platform built by the lovelies at @softchaos.games. The TGZ features interactive essays, games, and not-games from many of my favorite people. Do check out all the amazing projects in the collection thus far! transgameszine.org

Strangers on the Net by @softch by @softchaos.games is awesome enough it made me sign up for Gamefound, which I'd been avoiding—not on principal, but because I don't need one more platform. But here we are. I find it preposterous that it hasn't already funded. gamefound.com/en/projects/...

Throwback to last weekend's @qgcon.bsky.social, where I got to moderate a discussion with a wonderful group of organisers.

Still thinking about how lovely @lackingceremony.bsky.social was on Friday @qgcon.bsky.social when I showed up at the presenters dinner feeling super shy and not knowing anyone. Then I got to see her talk on TTRPG "loose, touchable design for leaky, excitable creatures" which was so fucking good!!!

🌈💖 Hey y'all, coming @qgcon.bsky.social this weekend online? Want to? @metaparadox.bsky.social is running Ship of Theseus on Friday and still has some player slots! You can join on the QGCon discord! It sounds like an incredible larp -- it reminds me of "Here is my Power Button", which I loved!!!

Putting the finishing touches on my deck for my talk about asexual and aromantic characters/relationships in games for @qgcon.bsky.social 🥰

If you're attending @qgcon.bsky.social and want in on the 2-hr session of this that I'm running of this, give me a holler!

Yes! @prairieeyes.bsky.social is back with an interview with Elissa! "I used to do a lot of fandom RP, and a lot of my old RPs are just gone forever. I wish I could go back and read them [...] So in some ways this is like getting to have a piece of that memory back." comradery.co/softchaos/po...

two of my games on itchio have been deindexed, Cyber Sext Adventure and The earth is a better person than me. both are games about queerness and the complexity of sexual desire

Had a great fireside chat with @gamerella.bsky.social and @jessromarcotte.bsky.social at U/Day in Montreal! We talked about the role of game jams within, and outside, the game industry. ICYMI, you can read my white paper on game jams for free online: gameartsinternational.network/thats-my-jam...
