Gender is weird, messy and complicated, and it can be hard to squeeze that complexity into the rigid language of science - can Saltsea Chronicles or Baldur's Gate 3 offer a glimpse of a better way? My newest video explores that very question (and a lot of theory)

New video this Friday, 5pm Irish time!

This time I’ll be talking about how the language of science falls short when it comes to describing the experience of gender, and video games that show us a better way (and some that don’t)

Coming in the wake of JK Rowling describing womanhood as exclusively the domain of people who “produce large gametes” I feel like it’s a pretty timely vid, and kinda sets out why biology and chemistry can’t capture the vibrant truth of being a gendered person!

Today, on its second birthday, Norco remains one of the best written games ever, and one of my personal favourites!

Here’s my old video essay on the game, and the ways people turn space into place:

I am now Marika's unofficial biographer!

This video is the story of Marika's life, as well as the story of the fantasy author whose fingerprints have flown under the radar in discussions of the game.

Elden Ring is as much George's story as From Software's (as I am sure you will agree after spending 45 minutes being persuaded, by me)

The ancient old god that is the Youtube algorithm hasn't smiled on this one despite pouring my heart and soul into it, so I would doubly appreciate you taking the time to drop a like or a comment on it!
