this issue becoming a trending topic today demonstrates how much power the gaming community can exude in the face of adversity.
keep on speaking up for your friends in marginalized spaces. speak loudly, even if your voice shakes.
PINECONE is saddened by the lack of response to fans requesting inclusivity of pronouns in Stardew Valley.
Our hearts go out to those who have been affected for speaking up on the need to uplift marginalized gamers.

I won't mince words.
The overwhelming majority of Palestinians are not Hamas. And Hamas does not represent the Palestinian people.
In fact, they're also suffering as a result of Hamas' terrorism. We need to be clear-eyed about that reality.
