KRUGGSMASH is the best dwarf fortress youtuber! he makes that game readable and understandable for lay people, and he’s a great artist as well.

I REALLY want to talk to people who do sound for games because man..... metal floors. so accurate and so ear piercing.

Hi Kotaku Staff, here is a question I have been thinking about for a while.

I got my first death threats for writing about video games in 2010, a few years before Gamergate. So, I found that type of response to be a stressful and difficult aspect of the job from early on. It’s also something that happens to journalists in other fields as well. But that doesn’t mean the job isn’t also…

my bf is also a journalist in a different field, and he also gets his fair share of shit. when i share my stories about the shit i get, he is often flabbergasted at the things that people choose to spend their energy on. if gamergate changed anything about me, it’s changed where i decided to spend my energy. more…

I’ll say this: I love what I do, but I would never suggest this work to anyone looking for stability or comfortable mental health. I write because I *need* to write, y’know?

There were haters before and there are haters now. For some, GG is mostly a thing of the past. For others, the dynamics of perpetual outrage continue.

I previously studied religion and was a chaplain for a bit, so I’m really good at extemporaneous prayer, like if someone wants you to say “grace” before dinner and you have to think of something that will feel right for everyone. Sometimes my seminary friends and I whip it out for fun.

Yes

We all agree that Goku is the worst dad? 

I’m just watching my co-workers listing all the words I use. I see. I get it. Pick on the wheelchair guy. Way to go.

Baking. I make tons of tarts, scones and cakes on the weekends.

I’ve been practicing martial arts for... nearly 15 years now? so I’m probably kinda alright at that, at this point

I’m getting pretty damn solid at cooking. It’s been really gratifying.
