i cant believe that there's still gamergate STANK on games that women enjoy. NASTY misogyny residue. stardew valley is in fact a video game. animal crossing is also a video game. so are otome games and dating sims and twee little cozy games. sometimes a bitch doesnt wanna play bloodborne that shit's hard

[omegaversereloaded]

guys who mainly play 2k and fortnite will still be like oh youre not a real gamer for having 1000 hours in stardew. mother fucker you're larping as a basketball player

One of the biggest gaming sites around was just blown up

Jesus Christ. Polygon's done.

Plante is out as editor. Massive layoffs across the staff, including Nicole Carpenter, Petrana Radulovic, Michael McWhertor, maybe Charlie Hall...

Fucking hell. I wouldn't have even tried to start writing about games without that site. Goddamnit all.

Fucking THRILLED that Brennan Lee Mulligan is a fan of Brian David Gilbert's early webseries masterpiece Dances Moving. Genuinely the way he worked through his grief of moving out of his home town to a strange new city and all the things he had to leave behind in Baltimore through the medium of instructional dance videos is... Insane? Beautiful? Me and my brother still play See the Day together on a semi-regular basis when we jam. Everyone watch Dances Moving, it's short and on youtube you have no excuse.

do you think bdg’s knowledge has burdened him? the man read the osha guidelines back to front, do you think he ever sees something and is like ‘dang…that’s just not compliant.’

thanks king

(brian david gilbert posted a half-hour long video explaining the basics of navigating privatized american health insurance, which is actually pretty helpful for overcoming the hurdle of acronyms and a terrifying start into that whole deep dive)

[adulthooliganism]

and it was so obviously a vox move and not a polygon move right. because i don't think there's a single member of polygon's staff from the site writers to video crew to EP tara long or anyone in between who would ever even dream of laying off jenna. it just wouldn't happen if it wasn't somebody completely outside the sphere calling the shots. but man was it a dumb fucking decision.
