Live now with Silent Hill 2 www.twitch.tv/gameassistyt/

Sara's going to be streaming some more Silent Hill 2 today at 1.30pm UK time (in about an hour) - join for chats about the rich gender and disability politics of this game 🌶️ www.twitch.tv/gameassistyt/

In their investigation into deviants, Conor and Hank meet the creator of the first androids, who offers some BS philosophising on the nature of humanity (sound familiar?). Sara continues to take Markus down the militant path, and finds some catharsis in it. youtu.be/mTlTNdlShk0

Live now with mooore Silent Hill 2! twitch.tv/gameassistyt

Live now with Silent Hill 2! www.twitch.tv/gameassistyt

While Conor investigates the fallout of Stratford Tower, Markus must decide between pacifist protest or militant revolution. Kara and Alice are running away from Detroit and the action, and all of this begs some questions about the gender politics of the game thus far. youtu.be/vKqaN0QuuYY

come hang out while i play Silent Hill 2 tonight!!!

Spooky season is starting early here at Game Assist... Sara's going to start Silent Hill 2 tonight at 6.30pm UK time! Put your fog lights on 😶‍🌫️ twitch.tv/gameassistyt

Markus makes his speech from Stratford Tower and the player has the opportunity to... within certain parameters... articulate a series of political demands for the liberation of androids. Sara does their best to author an Android Manifesto within the limits set by David Cage... youtu.be/mIkJGFqOuMw

Apologies in advance for a slightly choppy recording, because while Kara and Alice make some new friends, Markus engages in his first direct action, and the police (Conor and Hank) face off against lesbian sex worker androids. I know who I'm rooting for... youtu.be/Olbz0iQsLck

Change of plan - no stream today, but may stream at some point tomorrow in the afternoon/evening (UK time)!

Sara is thinking of streaming more Alan Wake 2 tomorrow at 1pm (BST) twitch.tv/gameassistyt

While Conor learns more about Hank, Kara and Alice find themselves in bizarre circumstances, and Markus makes some new comrades. youtu.be/6jLXdqo63VM

Kara changes her hair, Markus finds Jericho, Palestine - er, I mean, Detroit, and Conor and Hank continue their forbidden inter-species buddy cop yaoi shenanigans. youtu.be/XX50Q516Ps0

Sara's live now with Alan Wake 2! teitch.tv/gameassistyt

Live now!

While Kara tries to find a place for the night for her and Alice, Markus casually rises from the dead like Android Jesus, and Conor finds that he won't be able to proceed with his case if he can't improve his relationship with Hank. youtu.be/hLHHrRiT_tw

Sara's going to be streaming more Alan Wake 2 tomorrow at 1pm BST! twitch.tv/gameassistyt

Kara and Markus break free of their programming to defend themselves and the ones they love. Conor's "humanity" is perhaps found in confronting the moral quandary at the heart of being a cop: if you want to be a kind, caring person, you shouldn't be a cop at all. youtu.be/NEyYKq3yX_A

Live now with Alan Wake 2!

Alan Wake 2 stream with Sara tomorrow at around 2pm BST twitch.tv/gameassistyt

had a lot of fun procrastinating by naming every episode of this LP with an android-related pun on a revolutionary text

NEW: During an interview at the Xbox booth on the Gamescom show floor, I attempted to ask a veteran Obsidian developer for their thoughts on making video games at Microsoft amid layoffs and widespread criticism over the company's links to Israel. I was immediately shut down.

Sara's computer just crashed 😭 will be back ASAP!

Sara's live now with more Alan Wake II twitch.tv/gameassistyt

In true Game Assist fashion, Sara spends an hour talking about David Cage, video game "auteurs", and the politics of technology before actually playing the game (which is Detroit: Become Human, by the way). youtu.be/qTuGZmy5fYc

In this Tomb Raider- I mean, Barbie game, we don the hat of Coloniser Barbie. And unlike Secret Agent Barbie, there's little room for ambiguity here... This Barbie's A White Woman! youtu.be/lsL38mRfY3U

Sara's going to stream Control's Foundation DLC at 1pm BST today! That should be the last portion of the game 🫡 twitch.tv/gameassistyt

Let Sara know what games you'd like them to stream (and talk politics about)!

after Control, i'll probably stream Alan Wake 2 to round off/catch up with the Remedy games - in the near future what else would you guys be interested in seeing me play & do political analysis on for @gameassistyt.bsky.social ?

These are the steps that we need to take as an industry to help end this genocide.

Hell 👏🏽 yes 👏🏽 Solidarity with STJV! ✊🏽

🇵🇸 Arkane Studios’ STJV section joins @bdsmovement.bsky.social and No Azure for Apartheid in asking Microsoft to terminate all contrats with the Israeli Occupation Forces that facilitate their genocidal policies. www.stjv.fr/en/2025/...

Sara's live now with the Foundation DLC for Control! twitch.tv/gameassistyt

As we take Barbie all around the world on a mission to help her (girl)friend Teresa (again), we spend a few hours trying to figure whether or not Secret Agent Barbie is in fact copaganda. youtu.be/Qii_RRSeMS4

Did you know the cinematic masterpiece Barbie as the Princess and the Pauper had a video game tie-in?! As soon as they discovered this back in 2023, Sara absolutely had to play it... youtu.be/rE3WBiZGEbk

Time for a giveaway! We're over on twitch celebrating hitting our £2000 goal for our @medicalaidpal.bsky.social fundraiser - join us to be in with a chance of winning a prize 👀 Afterwards, Charlotte will be finishing up Jedi: Survivor, so come and join the fun! www.twitch.tv/gameassistyt

Back in 2023, the summer of Barbie, Sara kicked off a new series where they played old school Girl Games, starting with Barbie Horse Adventures: Mystery Ride (otherwise known as the prototype for Red Dead Redemption). youtu.be/5Y7CMA7wE08

We have officially hit our goal of £2000 towards @medicalaidpal.bsky.social! As before, we're upping our goal to £2250. Please keep donating to and talking about Palestine to your friends, family and political representatives wherever you are in the world. streamlabscharity.com/@gameassisty...

The final part of Alan Wake gets Sara REALLY excited about the prospect that the game might have been interrogating Alan's misogyny and his relationship with his wife this whole time... but does it deliver? youtu.be/FNmug7JJeJg

Delaying today's stream to 2.30pm BST!

Sara will be live with Control at 1pm BST (in about 2 hours)! twitch.tv/gameassistyt

Dell is on the BDS list for complicity in genocide against Palestinians through providing servers, maintenance, and other services to the IOF, btw bdsmovement.net/no-tech-oppr...
