So, this games week was different for me in a lot of ways.

It was the first time I'd travelled alone in a long time, but also it came at a time when I'm recovering from things that had made me very introverted.

I learned a lot... Much of it from people new to gamdev

It's hard to convince people that I'm not really dressing up for games week.

I like to wear something interesting wherever I leave the house.

Why keep your best clothes hidden away only for special occasions or to forget that they're even there?

As is always correct and in accordance with all the laws of the internet, I just watched Tom Holland's epic Lip Sync Battle performance, and now I am sharing it with all of you so you can do the same.

Chiitan has a dream.
I hope that one day the term LGBT will become a thing of the past.
I will continue to spread my message until we live in a world where everyone can love freely and is free from persecution and discrimination.
Until then, let's all support each other🤍

Ubisoft scrambling to ensure that they don’t accidentally publish something cool.

SCOOP: Last year, Ubisoft cancelled an Assassin's Creed game set during Reconstruction. Was to feature a Black Assassin who, among other things, fought the rise of the Klan

Sources: Leadership nixed it over concerns re: U.S. political climate, backlash to Yasuke

Scoop: Ubisoft cancelled a post-Civil War Assassin’s Creed last year

Company leadership deemed the project too controversial for the moment, sources tell Game File

Last day of GCAP is when I like to go hard with fashion.

This is my day fit. Going to swap to another later on for the awards

[NEW VIDEO] Xbox’s Cancelled ‘Uncharted Rival’ From Gears of War Studio

I investigate how Microsoft attempted to make its own Uncharted exclusively for Xbox from the Gears of War team and question if Phil Spencer misled the public about the project...

This was, for me, one of the most important elements of the story. Unpaid student labour is more pervasive in the games industry than people realise.

In New Zealand, we (@cratesmith.bsky.social and I) were competing to see who could get the most compliments on each day's outfit. I only got more one day, and definitely lost overall. 😭
