dr disrespect getting banned from twitch while streaming from a toilet room at e3 is actually peak garbage video game culture and i will never ever stop laughing about it
hey if you quit this hellsite, make sure to follow all the indie game devs you like on steam, itch, or whatever other social media you can find them on... because most of us don't have big/any marketing budgets and still rely on socials to get the word out
This thread is incredibly saddening/infuriating. Nintendo removed a Smash Custom Stage featuring the trans flag, creator reaches out to support and they try to help her get it back, support person gets fired. 🤯🤬
reading about the below made my blood boil. reminder: no one can set the tone for your community and space other than you, the face of it. if you do not explicitly address and condemn racism, slurs and hate in your community, you are being complicit and are part of the problem.
so many streamers still put "no politics discussion" in their rules and...as a public figure, your silence makes a statement. your silence creates a safe space for bigots, because they know they won't be argued with! speak up ya'll, call out and destroy a fascist when you see one

last night! Just watched the episode and it was SO GOOD!! Proud that one of the folks in my demo group ended up winning <3 <3 <3 Hester is so cool!!! P.S. the game I showed (code and images) is Cibele~
i’ve been holding onto a personal story of abuse for a while, and i finally wrote it all down. thanks to all who shared their stories this week—you helped me work up the confidence to record mine as well.
TW emotional and physical abuse and violence
Valve: "We respect developers’ desire to express themselves"
Me: you respect the developers desire to make a game where you can rape women for fun??????????? how about no, that's not something to respect at all actually
Go buy and play Detention, the game from

new free personal game about flirting at the beach. it's called BEACH DATE. please enjoy this gameplay gif i made lol
I found some Thanksgiving reading about the Wampanoag peoples. They’re the original Indigenous folks associated with the holiday. This discusses some of their history, including an epidemic that the Europeans brought... sad stuff but important to learn!
seriously tho if this website somehow disappears: what a fucking nauseating tragedy for independent creatives (myself included) who have spent literally a decade+ building an audience and critical support network on here
honestly so sick of reading articles about sexism in the games industry that claim hiring more diverse devs would help but then don't actually talk to any diverse devs or signal boost any... like, if you care, please actually try to help someone lol
Research suggests video games can help young people develop moral reasoning and that violent games don't have the negative impact you might imagine...

@hentaiphd
says there's a place for "thoughtful" violence as well as story lines exploring sex and sexuality.
Moved out my old place for real today! I lived there for so long and thru so much... it was cheap so I stayed thru and long after my time in a physically abusive relationship, out of necessity. Many traumatic memories in there. So happy to finally free myself of those spaces 😭
honestly i hope that gamer celebrities making utter fools of themselves at industry events continues in full force. this is the tabloid shit i am ready to live for
The Lost Records: Bloom & Rage trailer is here, and I'm really excited about it... because I'm currently the narrative designer for this game! Wow! So happy to share this news! Enjoy~

@Playlostrecords
: Bloom & Rage.
Coming late 2024 on PC, Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5.
I am honestly fuming. GOG had to know they’d get backlash for this in advance, and they should have stood up for Devotion and the studio instead of caving within mere hours. Did y’all do this for the fucking publicity??? I just don’t get it.
Earlier today, it was announced that the game Devotion is coming to GOG. After receiving many messages from gamers, we have decided not to list the game in our store.
just found out there's people that feel "uncomfortable" around mask wearers and.......... that's some dumb fucker shit on a level i could not even conceptualize until now
since you literally won't hear me out mom, i'll keep signal boosting voices addressing police violence, black lives matter, activism and protests. maybe you'll see that stuff and try to understand why i care because i know you won't stop checking my twitter lol 2/2
this article about the development of devotion is really amazing --
@redcandlegames
is a huge inspiration to me, and their whole process and all the research they put into the game is such a joy to read about
hey! so a recent tweet of mine got shared in some kind of alt-right group and i have hundreds.... maybe over 1000 people saying bullshit to me in my mentions right now and i'm pretty freaked out!! locking my account and logging off twitter for a while
my mom reads my twitter and is mad at me for the politics/activism related things i share bc it's at odds with what she hears on conservative talk radio. i try to talk to her about it, but she just talks over me (literally, loudly) and i can't get a word in..... 1/2
It's me! Steven Kurutz profiled me for the
@nytimes
! He reached out to talk to me about Last Call, and we ended up discussing some other games I worked on as well, and what it's like to work as an indie game developer. Enjoy!
honestly can't believe i get to be featured alongside such incredible people... it's surreal haha <3 more amazing writing about the

Oh hi, I have some news... my Twitch channel is NinaMarie now! URL:
I decided that it was time for a change! HentaiPhD was a fun handle for streaming, but using my real name instead feels more natural to me these days! <3
Hey!!!!!! My
@giantbomb
GOTY 2020 list is live and I am very proud of it 🥰 I really hope that you discover a game on it that you wouldn’t have otherwise found, as I aim to do every year! 💕💖💕 also it’s a long read, as always... lol
i watched "you've got mail" for the first time thinking it'd be fun to see all the early internet stuff & instead it's basically a horror movie about a rich guy destroying a woman's small business while lying to her about his identity via email until she falls in love with him???
Getting a narrative nom has been a goal and dream of mine for years now 😭 I can’t believe it, I am so happy and honored. Such a competitive year too! Wtf!!!! Congrats to all the fellow noms and honorable mentions 💖
Hire me to consult on your triple A narrative game so I can tell you to cut half your script and replace it with a modest amount of meaningful character development... it’ll be cheaper to make and better than all that plot you had 🙃
i used to say that posting on social media was therapeutic and i just wanna check in and say real therapy with a trained professional is actually way better lmao
the more whiny gamers complain about how cringy my games are on twitch and youtube, the more power i gain, and the closer i come to achieving my final form as Queen of Cringe
I’m sad that Devotion is still not available, and especially sad that most of the coverage of this game is focused on that... it’s actually one of the best narrative games I’ve ever played. I hope more folks actually cover the content at some point!
thinking of everyone in the last few years that has told me i'm "overreacting" whenever i bring up the intense danger presented by the alt-right and fascism in this country and in online spaces. still think i've been overreacting???? i know you're reading this :)))))
