I Am Not Good: The History of Cheating in Video Games

For generations of players, cheat codes were a secret handshake. A gateway to extra lives, godlike powers, and hidden worlds. But behind every cheat lies a story of creativity, rebellion, and the ever...

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

Remember that whatever Bernie Moreno, a man that has reiterated this week what a useless hateful turd he is, says about Miller or anyone else, the Republican party will always defend guys like this. Always

Rep. Max Miller: "My former wife has claimed that during a custody exchange at my home that day, I assaulted her…If I had assaulted her, would she have offered to cook me dinner six days later?"

Things I and friends have done to calm an angry abusive man from further escalating and killing us or our children: -Smiled -Kept normal schedules in order not to trigger a fight -Appeased with kind acts (cooking, cleaning, favors) -Forced friendly tones and words

Man, I love how Google Docs just refuses to let you organize things. It is unbelievably great to have to go my Google Drive to do that, which makes Docs just a sea of disparate files. Just awesome. Like looking into the face of God. Awesome

It’s hater week I guess which means I can post about games.

We don't define the feminist games canon — nobody does! So we asked our contributors to share the games that have shaped their feminism. By @exalclaw.com @amandatien.bsky.social @applecider.bsky.social @nicoleclark.bsky.social @candemald.bsky.social and @saoirsestone.bsky.social!

What's in the feminist games canon?

It's complicated! But here are some recs from our regular contributors

*standing up on a plane* Order of Ecclesia has always been the missing link between Castlevania and Dark Souls that nerds have always begged for. Guys, it's been here the whole time

*standing up on the plane* The fact that Stephen King hates Kubrick’s The Shining is perfectly fine. Authors have a unique relationship with their own work, and it’s totally reasonable for that relationship to not make sense to the rest of us. In fact, the rush to homogenize public taste is a bad…

This InfoWars caper is going a little too well. We need to staff up a bit. We're hiring a Social Media Lead, who will help make InfoWars the network of the future. We need someone who is extraordinarily online, has big ideas for how things break through in 2026, and can pull those ideas off quick.

In response to the unprecedented number of game developers laid off this year, we have created a bundle on itch to benefit a Game Industry Hardship Fund, managed by @videogameworkers.bsky.social. More than 100 games for 10+ bucks! Please share widely and donate generously! itch.io/b/3802/game-...

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!

Just an appreciation post for this guy. The COVID pandemic would have been far worse without Dr. Fauci's decades of experience as guidance through it. Had he been working under an adult president and not the child that presided over 2020, he would have saved even more lives without having to contend

But definitely, absolutely don't question drinking bleach

Ana Kasparian: "The one thing that I think the conservative Americans were correct about, especially as it pertained to the pandemic, was questioning authority and questioning our institutions."

Ok, since I'm not going to LI Retro Gaming Expo, which other events are people going to over the next few months? It's time to pitch a panel

Alternative Number Ones on "Semi-Charmed Life," a song that I have hated for most of my life and that, I must now grudgingly concede, slaps.

Weird he can’t bring this kind of energy towards his colleague who is accused of beating up his daughter.

This is great. Insightful, honest and absolutely worth your time

In Jan 2025, I had this empty feeling that wouldn't go away. Some of it was actual depression, but there was a piece that was purely video game related. Specifically RPGs. I spent a year and a half exploring why. Here is the first of 3 videos trying to answer that question. youtu.be/HpmSf-pUMzw

I know this wasn't their thinking at the time, but I always wishes Nintendo would have sold add ons for the original Wii Sports. I would have loved more holes for Golf
