Three Democrats (Cuellar, Gonzalez, and Davis) joined the Republicans to pass Marjorie Taylor Greene's federal ban on gender affirming care through the House of Representatives. It is repugnant that the federal government won't give people health care, but it will TAKE IT AWAY from trans people.

The House passed legislation today that would charge doctors with a felony punishable by up to 10 years in prison for providing transition-related care to minors. Rep. Sarah McBride strongly condemned the legislation in rare personal remarks ahead of the vote. www.nbcnews.com/politics/tru...

the good news is that the media attention and support from an audience has helped Horses do well enough that Santa Ragione has been able to pay all its owed royalties and loans. so it's not in debt. the bad news is it's still not enough to keep the studio together. www.ign.com/articles/hor...

1/ At bargaining yesterday, @propublica.org management said that they should have 100% discretion to replace workers with AI and would not commit to labeling future AI-generated content.

🩵🩵🩵A big thank you from The Somali Museum of Minnesota for all of the generous donations during our reaction stream for The Game Awards. Thank you!🩵🩵🩵 www.givemn.org/story/12p1xe

I am not sharing this transcript because I think it will make anyone view Larian's stance on genAI any differently; I'm sharing it so people can see all the context and judge for themselves if they feel that Larian's position was misrepresented by my story

If I had known the two paragraphs about genAI in my article today would be so controversial, I would have expanded them a bit! Here's a rough transcript of the relevant portion of my interview with Swen Vincke, so everyone has all the context. (Full article here: www.bloomberg.com/news/newslet...)

hi if you have time today and are in the US i humbly seek ~15 minutes of your time www.badinternetbills.com grab your phone (and a glass of water), put your phone number and ZIP code into here, answer the phone call you get, listen to the auto-dialer instructions, and leave some voicemails please?

Seems bad! Gaming is quickly becoming a hobby only for the rich and the rich alone can not sustain the industry.

I just called my representatives. Please be sure to call and dont forget to be nice to the receptionist if they pick up.

the White Guys Having A Hard Time story is darkly funny because it's full of quotes like these and zero self-awareness. I can't help but think about the editor I had who, as a fellow PoC, told me he was intentionally harder on me than others because as PoC, we had to be 2x as good as everyone else

The DOJ released long-awaited reports about sexual violence in prisons & jails, but omitted data on trans people, @byadamrhodes.bsky.social reports. The missing data suggests far-reaching consequences days after a memo revealed the department’s plans to dismantle prison rape protections.

for the politicians outside my district, i gave my name and advised i did not need a call back, skipping information about where i live. for the ones in my district, i gave my name, city, and zip code, but also advised i did not need a call back and just wanted to express my opinion. it wasn't bad!

I wrote a long article about Rieko Kodama, her career at Sega, the evolution of her company, the games she worked on (including some canceled games and/or games for which she is not credited), the status of women and working conditions in the video game industry, etc. vgdensetsu.net/riekokodama/

thank y'all for the help so far ! well on my way to avoiding an overdraft from a sudden health insurance premium cost increase + healthcare company not letting me turn off auto pay ko-fi.com/neonbuck/goa...

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.

Keita Takahashi (Katamari, Wattam, Noby Noby Boy) has moved back to Japan, and says he may be forced to quit the games industry due to To a T underperforming. He also says he'd love to work on Katamari again, and for someone to invest in his studio. (Read more at GamesRadar)

my health insurance premium (which i wasnt supposed to still be dealing with, long story) went from $0 to $400 without warning while i was dealing with health issues. the autopay gets taken from my bank account tomorrow. desperately trying to contact people rn

Finally, The Kotaku Review for Hundred Line. I spent much of it reflecting on how its incredible ambition makes it nearly impossible to recommend without caveats. But it's one of the most important games of 2025, and a testament to the power of making something for yourself without compromise.

Throwback to when Furry Twitter was going through yet another round of “if your furry character isn’t human-like enough then it’s zoophilia”, and just when the discourse was at its peak, BG3 dropped the “you can fuck a druid in bear form” ad and brought the discourse to a hilarious screeching halt.

epic will pay for every game that gets claimed this way so yes, you are still giving money to rowling (and by extension an international campaign against trans people) by claiming this there are other, better franchises - let this one go

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.

holy shit guys valve did it. its finally happened store.steampowered.com/app/440/Team...

i played it before all the quality of life & bug fixes, too. i was clipping through shit and some of the parry timings were weird and the menus were clunky as hell. i'm certain it's got to be even more frictionless to play now, plus they just announced a free update with tons of new stuff...

do not let all the ignorant chud fans on twitter and the game awards dominance deter you; clair obscur is the studio's first game so you go into it and you're like "oh god this is unreal engine slop" but then you keep playing and you're like "oh wait this unreal engine slop is compelling as fuuuck"

36. Small Saga You want another wonderful turn based RPG? One with great music, a gorgeous art style, fun characters and humour, and has a well paced story that puts an amazing spin on an old JRPG trope because you play a small mouse who sets out to kill a god.

Rick in Kirby Air Riders:

Only two slots left for these !!

Sales are moving slowly- haven't made any yet this week ! Every one is broke, so that might not get much better- but bills and expenses don't stop, so I'm going to need some help.

the dev can't flag this review anymore, but other users can. link to the review: steamcommunity.com/id/breakzora... cite Steam's policy back to them: help.steampowered.com/en/faqs/view... "Do not direct abuse or insults at other players, developers, or groups."

Valve: The company that takes 30% of your revenue in order to let their customers say horribly racist things about your game

Valve has now rejected my complaint, confirming that "I don't like muslims" is a valid reason to leave a negative review on a game on Steam This is where we're at now.

Y'all gotta get on this. I need this to have enough readers to encourage Naomi to write enough chapters to justify going to print so I can buy it.

not a weird hobby at all, all the best people are doing it!!

apologies to all my american friends i'm never coming to your fuckass country

Didn't quite hit my goal at MFF so I'm taking some quick headshot sketches to get me through the month. 40 USD, week or less turnaround time, DM me to claim
