If you're part of the BioWare or Sims community and want to talk about how those studios' queer characters and themes have impacted you and your fears for those series moving forward after this sale, I'd love to chat with you for a Kotaku story. Can be reached here or email kshepard@kotaku.com

Fields of Mistria is launching fully into 1.0 tomorrow!!! I'm so proud of the team for not only making a game happen (impossible task) but also making it one of the best games ever (great news for me AND you!!)

Uh I got a book from an exhibition/retrospective of Eiko Ishioka's design work. Lots in it, including Parco advertising and film posters she art directed. But I mostly wanted costume designs, and I got them

Most people who use AI respond to reasonable criticism of AI itself as if it's a personal attack, and that's a warning sign their relationship with it is deeply unhealthy, and almost undoubtedly harmful to them. Calling someone out on that comes from a place of concern and care.

Whatever you do don’t take me to The Island from The Prisoner! I’d hate to live in a cool rent free apartment full of bold late 60s modern furniture haha noooo a bubble don’t chase me haha

So many banger license announcements out of Otakon, including shows everyone should see (Big O, Patlabor) and ones just for me (House of Five Leaves)... but Sakon! Never thought I'd see a release and I'm THRILLED. Deeply weird and delightful. And yes, the bunraku puppet solves crimes (sorta)

Sakon the Ventriloquist is based on the manga illustrated by Takeshi Obata (Death Note, Hikaru no Go, Bakuman.) This is the first English release for the show, and it'll get an SD-BD that is out in November! mediaocd.com/product/sako...

Am I valid for not going to the "celebration of life" dinner for my great aunt (where I cannot eat or drink anyway because I need to mask) due to an absolute screamer of a migraine

I don't know how to explain to the people who pop up when creatives complain about "AI" to say there are legit uses for it just how much they sound like someone saying "Well actually fire is used to make bread" when people are talking about an organized arson ring burning down their fucking houses

Hello! For a potential piece on Eurogamer, I would love to know what cool little things people in and around games are working on. Not full games, but fun, interesting, weird projects or side projects. Things you're noodling around with, things you just think are neat. Replies/reposts very welcome!
