An independent games media outlet focused on uplifting diverse voices.
forever and a day ago, @allanmuir.bsky.social , @graytlo777.bsky.social and I played Redfall and that footage is FINALLY up on the YouTube channel! Bitter sweet looking back at it now, but at least all of its flaws and quirks have made for a very interesting game. Check out the video!

If you missed my crashout yesterday, out hosting service (who is also our dev) defrauded us by having invoices auto paid for work never rendered. We pushed back & they terminated us. Now, we are moving! But it will take time and money to do so. We got a plan! But anything helps make it easier.

A lil late on this one, but I published my review of illWill on @vgutv.bsky.social the other day! Trying to put more written content on the site more regularly, and so look forward to more reviews of older games. And this one is a real gem, one of the best boomer shooters out. Hope y'all enjoy!

For the evening crowd, I wrote about the lack of queer identity in Metaphor and how that undercuts the message it’s trying to impart on the player. Even if they’ve been mid to terrible at representation lately, that element is a big part of what makes ATLUS’ biggest games so beloved.
