I started caring for my mother at six years old. Now 22, I still live at home and am a full-time carer for not just my mother now, but my father and my young nephew. I've never really felt seen in media until the first season of BanG Dream.
This piece means everything to me.
[Perspectives] BanG Dream! and the reality of being a young caregiver
@honhonitsaimee
shares her connection to Saya Yamabuki's role as caretaker for a chronically ill family member and how BanG Dream! emphasizes self-care without demonizing Saya's mother

I was wondering whether to post this but I think it's relevant to say: almost every writer you know, whether they are from Kotaku, Polygon, VG24/7, etc is one bad day away from quitting game journalism because it is a thankless, gruelling and unsustainable profession.

Getting to interview Jennifer English about what it was like growing up queer was genuinely one of those moments that felt humbling and healing as someone who also grew up around that time. Definitely a career highlight for me.
So go read and all that! ✨
During
#EGX2023
we sat down with Jennifer English aka Shadowheart (God's favourite princess and the most interesting girl in the world) to speak about all things
#BaldursGate3
and what it was like growing up queer.

"Square Enix didn't want Life is Strange to be thought as a gay game".
Who did they think the main audience was for this series actually? Mind-boggling
According to over a dozen current and former employees, Life Is Strange developer Deck Nine’s management has long let a toxic work culture fester at the studio, including protecting multiple abusive leaders, encouraging crunch, and more.

Hi everyone! I'm leaving Gayming Magazine, you know, that website that has defined my career for like, what, 3-4 years?

Looking to speak to game developers (indie or AAA) about bisexuality and how it can be implemented into games! Alternatively, am eager to listen to gamers who have their own ideas on how bisexuality should be portrayed in games.

I wrote about Lake for Gayming Magazine, and it's one of the most refreshing games I've played this year.
It's also a game that is deeply rooted in the struggles of being queer in the 1980's. If you're interested in that, give it a read!

Wrote a piece about how people upset over God of War's Thor design because 'historical accuracy' is just a crap disguise for their fatphobia. Also compared it to the reaction to Resident Evil Village's The Duke and the 'myth' of the 'good' fat person.

Imma be honest with you all, Cyberpunk did not deserve the 5/5 scores with how many game breaking bugs in there. I remember Andromeda getting dragged across the floor and scored less because of bugs alone but I never found a game breaking bug in Andromeda. MAKE IT MAKE SENSE

Gayming's review for BG3 will come when I'm finished, no sooner or later.
I encourage other outlets to allow their writers the same room to breathe and not force them to crunch a 80+ hour game in the space of a few days
Larian Studios tells me review codes for Baldur’s Gate 3 won’t be out until July 28, just six days before launch, to give the devs “time to fully wrap up their work” for release. So don’t expect any comprehensive reviews before the game comes out!

Not to be a downer, but it is terribly sad that I know MORE than 15+ people who are planning to leave games journalism because:
1) They don't see a future in it
2) More games, fewer people & less money = more crunch + burnout
3) Seeing colleagues let go constantly sucks.

Cyberpunk also thought it had a trans-inclusive character creator and look how that turned out. And that's not even touching Rowling's transphobic idiocy.
NEWS: Hogwarts Legacy will have trans-inclusive character creation, with body, voice, and gender ("witch/wizard") all separated, sources say. This news follows JK Rowling's transphobic comments and the recent discovery that a producer supports Gamergate
