Hey everybody! I'm Matt (He/They) and I'm a queer streamer and podcaster! I love video games (especially retro games and horror games) TTRPGs and board/card games!

I'm a variety streamer, five days a week over at twitch.tv/MattCaulder, streaming all kinds of stuff including Community Choice games!

People were saying this when Silent Hill 3 2 remake came out and I felt like I was losing my mind

“It makes Silent Hill 2 more available”

NO! It makes THIS version available, which is not the same thing! And allowing this line of thinking is going to ruin game history

I find it borderline unhinged that people in games, both audience and publisher, seem to regard remakes as the "canonical version" of something. Imagine having to convince Universal to re-issue Hitchcock's Psycho because the Van Sant version exists. The Playstation RE games are *foundational texts*.

Capcom ‘took a lot of convincing’ to bring the original Resident Evil games to GOG, exec says | VGC

Capcom reportedly felt the remakes were the main way to play Resident Evil 1, 2 and 3 in the modern era…

I think it says so much about the game that almost every game store has:

1) Multiple “Learn to Play D&D” events a month

2) all kinds of “I want to play D&D” posts on a community board

Especially when it has an organized play program? (Does it still exist actually?)

I just realized this site may not have heard boo about the Remove Kagawa movement.

Long story short, Yakuza Kiwami 3 is coming out next year and one of the actors hired to replace an original creation in face and voice is one Teruyuki Kagawa, a sex pest.

Kagawa grabbing the hair of a cabaret club mama-san in a Ginza cabaret club in 2019, photos released to Japanese media in 2022.

Thank you @pocketgamerbiz.bsky.social for this article! ✨

I truly do believe that there's far more people on the side of inclusion than against it, and that gives me hope.

I was actually really annoyed they did this like two weeks after I paid (not a lot tbf) money to do this swap

Jamelle, this is WILD miss from you. There is literally no downside/risk/problem with expecting people to mask to help reduce spread AT the event and afterwards. Considering it unreasonable does nothing but aligns you with the people currently making policy decisions

Mothership's A Pound of Flesh is my single favorite TTRPG supplement ever, and this year's Mothership Month is a crowdfunding blitz for 27(!!) expansions to it... but I'm getting married next month, so I can't afford to back any.

So here's a thread for shouting out those that caught my eye!
