Si es que lo digo SIEMPRE.
Pocas personas han sido tan fans de Harry Potter como muchos de los que hemos renunciado por completo a todo lo que tenga que ver con esa saga y esa señora. Tu nostalgia de mierda me importa tres cojones.

Esto viene a que a nadie le ha importado tanto la saga del niño mago como a quienes fuimos niñes rares, queer, nd... Y encontramos ahí nuestro refugio. Y si nosotres, Jose Luis, hemos podido renunciar a ese refugio (que ya no lo es) tú puedes NO JUGAR A SU PUÑETERO JUEGO.

Just yesterday me and some folks on games academia / industry talked about how the games that elevate the medium feel like anomalies and accidents and not part of its industry. If we don't have spaces for things like this, I don't know what we're doing.

Since Polygon is leaving it out of the headline: Epic Games partnered with The Game Awards to put money into the pocket of a bigot who uses her wealth to further the genocide of trans people through lawsuits and legislation. Every 'free' game gives money directly to JKR, and they are complicit.

Please bear this in mind if you consider grabbing Hogwarts Legacy for free, thinking that you can accept/play it without it now doing harm. It's free to you but comes with a cost elsewhere.

CANCEL your Fortnite subscriptions and DELETE the game from all your computers.
Choosing—and yes, it is a CHOICE— to license Harry Potter in 2025 sends a message: "We do not care about trans people."
No amount of Miku or trans-colored cosmetic items can make up for this.

Carimara was not just delightful but also very gay and shorter than a movie
Okay, I'll make a thread of 50 indie games which I'll add to over the week, staring with.
1. Carimara
Play as a little goblin creature summoned by a witch to investigate what's haunting her cottage, it's a creepy bite-size mystery akin to the Frog Detective games, and has gorgeous visuals.

It needs to be treated as importantly as "no animals were harmed during the making of this film"
Because yeah, for a time? Animals got harmed and people accepted it as a part of the process. And it was wrong.
So is this, and it needs to stop.

Rockstar now claims it was, in fact, the leaking of “specific game features from upcoming and unannounced titles” that led to the firings.
We’re going to have to see the company prove this in an employment tribunal & more than that, it’ll need to prove it for all 31 fired employees in the UK too.

Rockstar has claimed the employees it recently fired were dismissed because they leaked game features for upcoming and unannounced titles in Discord, not because they were trying to unionize. https://bit.ly/48A0tTf

Vietnam also has tariffs similar to China as of today, which made the shift to Vietnam somewhat unneeded.
