We banned a guy on the Steam forums for repeatedly saying there were “too many women” in our game

So he flipped his positive review to negative

Still totally worth it

Passing, but at what cost 😔

Me and a course mate sit and have lunch together. During conversation, he finds out that Im trans

I blush and ask him if he didn't notice anything before, hoping to receive compliments

He replies that all the details he noticed before, he chalked it up to me being italian

I don't know what that would look like but the fact every game released on the biggest gaming platform in the world has a defacto right-wing freak gathering zone attached to it is: Bad

Very bad! I would go as far as to say it's one of the worst things about the gaming landscape atm

at some point I really think there needs to be some sort of large scale pushback on Valve for their complete abdication of responsibility in moderating steam forums to every individual developer regardless of whether or not they asked for it, allowing this tumour to completely fester.

a man speaks to a woman: soo, you're one of them transgenders?

she replies “ya, but i'm mostly into mario kart speedruns” then begins a lengthy bombast about mario kart

later we see the man at a table with his wife. he says to her: martha, today i met someone whos...

but i'm learning that there's nothing wrong with that

HOT TAKE: Sometimes, I feel like the people saying this mean why isn't anyone with lots of power covering my game. When smaller folks ARE covering indie games and you're not uplifting them. You just want others to lift you up without giving back to the community.

“Why isn’t anyone covering our indie games?”

1. The gaming press has been decimated by business suits, and the whims of an uncaring search engine behemoth
2. Doing the job means you get death threats and harassment
3. There are more games released in 1 week than there were in entire months in 2015

I feel like the thing I always find myself thinking when ppl are talking about "oh the gaming audience is awful" is that, like... i'm not sure i believe that so much as I believe that any unmoderated space will inevitably surface the most toxic people (who drive away more-reasonable ones)

What. I was going to get it anyways after the demo, but I never clocked they were the people behind the streets game. I loved that freakish “fmv” fighter.

Gushing reviews rolling in for Absolum. Not surprising - that demo (still available) was really damn good, and pretty replayable to boot.

For those unaware: Roguelite (Hades-esque) side-scrolling brawler from the gameplay team behind Streets Of Rage 4, paired with French animation studio Supamonks.

Fight as the outcast heroes of Talamh in a fierce battle to retake magic from Sun King Azra’s grasp in Absolum, an original roguelite beat ‘em up by Dotemu.

You know what I think we should all do? Just start reply to stuff with positive comments.

Dickheads are so quick to comment, how about we tell people they look good? Their art is cool? The event sounds excellent. Whatever. Fucking hell, let’s just be openly nice for once.
