The layoffs across games and games journalism have been disproportionately affecting the women in the industry, and even more so, black women. Support the indies that champion their voices before it's too late (& please share more in the replies) @aftermath.site @mothership.blog

Are you in dev, media, or content creation and have a story to tell about why Pokemon is special to you, has influenced your work, or overall just made an impact on your life? Would you want to tell me about it for a 30th anniversary Kotaku story? Get in touch: [email protected]. RTs appreciated!

Thrilled to announce that Slay the Princess has officially surpassed one million units sold! When we started work on it, we couldn't imagine a visual novel would be able to hit such a milestone let alone being backed by critical acclaim. And yet, here we are. We couldn't have done this without you.

my only notes to people under 30: your 30s aren't for ditching fandom, they're for re-evaluating all the "cringe" stuff you liked as a teenager through the lens of someone who can appreciate it fully, going, "that owned, actually," and becoming even more unhinged about it. please look forward to it.

I have been *incredibly* distracted by real life all week and was briefly under the mistaken impression that Hytale and Highguard were the same game But I'm finally catching up and pleased to report that some conversations about the latter are finally starting to make more sense to me now

There is no AI used in Blue Prince. The game was built and crafted with full human instinct by Tonda Ros and his team at @dogubomb.bsky.social. It is the result of eight years of development, fuelled by imagination and creativity, and we are extremely proud of what Tonda has achieved.

Not something I'd usually post about, but: I just logged back into Twitter for the first time in nearly two years to finally deactivate my account (after backing up a few photos and videos I had on there that were the main reason I hadn't done so already) Genuinely a weight off tbh, can recommend

A lot of great games came out in 2017 but now, as then, it's between Hellblade and Prey for my absolute favourite

At the time I was coming out of a years-long gaming slump and catching up on stuff, and I *think* the only brand-new game I played that year was Sherlock Holmes: The Devil's Daughter (still an excellent silly adventure game fwiw) Now, though, it has to be Firewatch, with Dishonored 2 a close second
