To anyone reading this - we are ACTIVELY SEEKING someone to cover indie comics as a regular beat...but everyone is making 15 minute videos now and it's hard to get them to put down the camera. I get that we need both platforms. Anyway who wants to write about comics, DM me.

To our dismay, the artist and author Marjane Satrapi has passed away. As she wrote, ordinary Americans and Iranians have more in common with each other than we do with either of our governments, which have far too much in common with each other. We honor her memory and oppose the war.

We're so proud to once again be an official partner event for this year's Summer Game Fest! Don't miss Wholesome Direct this Saturday, June 6 at 9am PT / 12pm ET

Happy Pride Month everyone!!! 🌈 Don't forget to tune into the Gayming Pride Parade this Sat at 12pm PT to get some fresh news on Rizz Dungeon by our friends @snoozykazoo.com and support queer joy 💘 More info: gaymingfoundation.org/prideatsgf/

Reviewed Dosa Divas alongside interviewed game’s creative director. Corporatism abound. Stephen truly saw my pitch/vision. If you subscribe to Game File due to this piece—I will get paid more moneys, so please subscribe; so I can get paid even more moneys to allow this type of work at Game File!

There is a link between gaming culture and the culture of ICE. They're Call of Duty cosplayers who need their opponents to be children in order to feel like real men. Prosecute and abolish ICE. My new video is live now on Nebula and Patreon.

It's beyond disheartening when indie devs spend years creating something with intent and care, only for it to get the clone treatment. Much love to Michael and to Ouros.

Big congrats to the Beethoven & Dinosaur team, Annapurna, and everyone else who touched @mixtapegame.bsky.social! 💛 I know our folks at pop who helped on it always believed it was special. Please flood Beethoven & Dinosaur with all your love. They are some of the coolest folks. 🙂

Mixtape is an excellent video game made by excellent people. Words can't fully express just how happy I am for the B&D devs getting their well earned flowers, so I'll just let my mixtape speak for me - Andromeda - Gorillaz Disco - Surf Cruse Halogen - Neon Indian Ordinary Pleasure - Toro y Moi

How do you adapt the Moomin stories? @hypergames.no knows best: • getting the curvature of Moomintroll just right • avoiding any reference to capitalism (which hasn't yet sullied Moominvalley) • leaning into life's heaviest questions Beautiful work, all told. www.theguardian.com/games/2026/m...
