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!
“Metrosexual” popped into my head completely unprompted the other day, and I just had to sit and remember that for a minute
One time I genuinely heard someone say that people were less homophobic in the 2000s and I was like "we had to invent an entire separate word to describe straight men who gave a shit about their appearance to let people know they weren't gay." Not to mention all the, you know, actual hate crimes.

One of the strangest aspects of aging that they don't warn you about is watching as history gets rewritten right in front of your face and people 20 years younger than you confidently tell you about something you lived through and get it completely wrong.

It is genuinely incredible to me how much evidence there is to support investing in the public good and how much animus there is to do this simple, effective thing.

This is a fantastic review. This is honestly an example of what I would expect from a review of a game like this! It doesn't ignore that you JUST LAST YEAR paid at least $70 for the exact same experience (after doing so for a decade), it doesn't ignore the place this game has in games right now
"Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 feels soulless and mercenary, doing just enough to avoid major outcry, while always feeling like a nip and tuck version of the games you once knew."

I'm extremely tired of the "take a personal stand reviews" we're seeing more and more of. Reviews are always opinions but the stuff we've seen from Hogwarts to ARC Raiders is @$%*

Lex's Call of Duty review treats Call of Duty like it's art that says something, not a product. It is an essential review of Call of Duty that has the gall to examine it as more than a yearly excuse to play army man and kill other people online with your buddies. You should read it.

It appears our beloved Rebecca Heineman has now passed on. She lived her life in such a way as to leave a trail of joy in her wake next to a long list of creative accomplishments. She was a fixture in many communities and a titan in games history. Becky was the best kind of person.

With the passing of Rebecca Heineman today, I wanted to share some images from her last, now forever unfinished project. She was working on amazing stuff right up until the end.

It was Dragon Wars remastered.

Jennell Jaquays was art directing.

In case the tone of this is hard to read: if you’re a publisher who keeps lamenting that your roster is 283663 white creative director men and 1 game with literally anyone else at the helm… You are purposeful making those decisions, and tokenizing as plausible deniability. Fix your hearts or die.

in the early 2000s Rebecca took the time to chat over IRC with a teenaged and gender-confused Me on the practicalities of transition - in a time where being out as trans online was something that could get you socially ostracized. I owe her a lot for that and only hope I can pay it forward.
