Welcome back to Get Your Game On Variety Hour! I’m freshly unemployed (voluntarily!) and have spent my week of rest playing Ni no Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch and Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga because nostalgia has a death grip on my tired mind. Also, it’s easier to play games that are like, finished finished so I don’t have to worry about why the voice acting is randomly dropping out of new installments. We’ll talk about that later. (more…)

Hi friends, Zainabb here with more news about cosy games, which continue to soothe my heart during these dire times. Before we get to the news, I encourage everyone to check out the Best of 2024 TTRPG Bundle, which collects 78 games for $10. The bundle is raising money for the Trans Empowerment Project, which supports Two Spirit, trans, intersex and gender expansive BIPOC to create “equitable systems of support” to enable our communities to thrive. The bundle looks amazing and it’s only available for a few more days so please spread the word!
As always, resources for a free Palestine include The Palestine Academy, the Palestinian Feminist Collective’s amazing action toolkit and my own newsletter, Crips for Palestine. If you’re able, please donate to Medical Aid for Palestinians or Crips for eSims for Gaza. (more…)

Welcome back to Get Your Game On Variety Hour! That’s right, I’m back again this month, because, frankly, everything is happening so very much. To me, personally. Video games are, for once, normal? (more…)

Welcome back to Postgame, Sidequest’s monthly-ish podcast where the editors lay down hot takes on cold games. Maddi, Melissa, and Zora have been playing games! Some of them are Dragon Age, which means a disproportionate amount of this podcast is devoted to Dragon Age. Melissa and Zora would say they’re sorry, but the truth is: they aren’t.

Welcome back to Get Your Game On Variety Hour! I’ve apparently decided I now live in the 90s and early 2000s and have been reading, watching, and playing almost exclusively stuff released before 2010… except for 2024’s Sonic 3 movie and Sonic X Shadow Generations. I know what I like about the present day, and it’s high-fidelity hedgehogs.
I don’t have a funny little anecdote this time, but here’s your weekly reminder to support Palestine in any way you can, and maybe get a little angry at your local politics while you’re at it. Medical Aid for Palestinians is continuing to do what they can on the ground in Gaza, and Operation Olive Branch and our own Zainabb Hull’s Crips for Palestine newsletters offer other ways to help the situation in the Middle East. In US-oriented news, there are Inauguration Day (which is also, gallingly, MLK Day) actions taking place all over the country—a quick google of your area will probably get you where you need to be if you want to participate. Here’s a post about a New York City event to get you started.

In an amazing turn of events, Kael and I made it through this year’s PAX West without a major disaster. For once, we played some games, watched a couple panels, ate some delicious snacks, and did not have to take a moment to say, “Hey, what the fuck?” about a hot new piece of gaming news, nor did any pets have to go to the ER.
