Something I spoke about before was how transphobia is often an expression of misogyny, it gives people who hate women an outlet and sets trans women up as a class of women it's socially okay to be misogynistic towards, while also providing an ideological justification for that misogyny.

A new survey of 1,000 American adults found that the strongest supporters of transgender sports bans are not the people who admire women most: they are the people who hold the most hostile views about women. www.helenwebberley.com/news/transge...

«Neither ‹The Times› nor any of the other publications which amplified its inaccurate reporting have corrected their false claims, or acknowledged that, out of a total of four formal investigations into Arday, not one has substantiated the charges of plagiarism against him.»

Jason Arday Again Cleared of Plagiarism as His Attackers Launch an ‘Independent Inquiry’

Backed by Reform UK megadonor Ben Delo, the Committee for Academic Freedom defended Arday’s accusers and has now commissioned a report into his appointment by Cambridge University

So frustrating how much of a mess EGS has been. I want to see competition to Valve's monopoly as much as anyone but Epic are so unserious.

Alien of the Day: The Polarians, as seen in 'Barlowes Guide to Extraterrestrials' from 'Cluster' by Piers Anthony. Wheeled organic life can be hard to pull off outside of the microscopic world, but this is a great solution to the problem!

Just a fun reminder that it is official White House policy to support far-right, anti-EU parties across Europe. That includes spending money to fund astroturf campaigns to take down incumbents. www.reuters.com/business/med...

Flying Oak Games 💥👊 DEMO OUT NOW!@flying-oak.com · 6d ago

🎂 Happy Birthday ScourgeBringer, you're 6 years old today!! 🥹💓 You came out on PC and other consoles in 2020. Fun story: in 2020 the PS Vita was no longer in production. Stores were closed, and all the factories had shut down... except for one, the Asia division, with only one distributor left.

Just to be clear, we do NOT use AI to make games at PUNKCAKE Délicieux. Honestly it's annoying to have to say it, but since I keep seeing "gamedevs are all secretly using it"... Well, no. AI is for losers. That's not how you make good, creative and/or meaningful games. The art is in the craft.

One of my favorite sci-fi shows of the decade—of the century!—is celebrating its third anniversary today. Scavengers Reign was a shooting star🌠, poorly supported by HBO Max and then Netflix (as it was only available in a handful of countries), but I'm so glad this one season exists.

Quick shout-out to Sulfur, which is an excellent cartoony extraction shooter FPS roguelike. Currently 60% off, and leaving early access in a couple weeks. Cursed guns, fun builds and mods, great music, and almost every screenshot somehow looks like concept art. Big recommend.

SULFUR is a modern old-school action-adventure: Outsmart enemies, find treasure, improve weapons, harness powers. Delve deeper, find answers, make it end.

Someone just reblogged this on tumblr with this tag and I just fucking died I've been on this shit for over a decade and it's only getting worse

kayinnasaki written about this before but whatever. Videogames as an artform have a problem with nostalgia. Not that people shouldn’t have nostalgia. Or that games shouldn’t draw from the past. But instead the weight we give to nostalgia. When people go back to enjoy old games, we assume it’s a nostalgia thing. Do people assume that with books? Or movies? Or music? People certainly do go back in time with those mediums for nostalgia! It happens! I know when my sister is listening to certain cheesy old boyband pop or punk she’s often having a musical nostalgia trip! That’s cool! But we still don’t ASSUME, CONSTANTLY thats why people go back to stuff. People like old stuff because it’s cool and interesting. It’s historic. People go watch Metropolis still, but how many people alive could even be nostalgic for a movie like that? I almost want to see the word Nostalgia excised from discussions about video games – not because nostalgia is bad but because we over use it to the point where it’s actually harmful I think. I mean I made IWBTG and am making an NES style game right now and even for me, the obsession with ‘nostalgia’ seems crazy. Old stuff is cool. I know this because I see a lot of you kids on my tumblr feed talking about games I know you didn’t grow up with. It’s like finding your parents record or CD collection. Thinking the primary greatness of old games is bringing back memories of eating cereal and playing games on a saturday morning is a great injustice, even if those memories for some are perfectly worthwhile things. #this post is 11 years old and still holds true
