Pride Month is already almost over? Wait, when did that happen? Time flies when you’re watching new yuri games drop, writing toxic yuri for toxic yuri jam, and emptying out your wallet over Love Bullet’s official English-language release. Granted, if you’re aching for more yuri on Steam? You might want to check out this Steam Curator who lists hundreds of games with women who just so happen to love other women.
A '90s-Esque Shojo Otome Game is Wrapping Up its Kickstarter? And No One Told Me?!

1 week ago | vice.com | Ana Valens

Excuse me, fellow games journalists? Hello?! Were none of you going to tell me about this amazing, gorgeous, shojo otome dating sim on Kickstarter? I literally didn’t know it existed until this week, all because I happened to stumble across the studio’s Twitter account in my For You feed. And I’m so glad I did. Because Snowkissed Romance is an indie dating sim that deserves your money right now.
Want Giant Women? Well, This Steam Curator Keeps Tabs On Games With Giantesses

1 week ago | vice.com | Ana Valens

Giant women are great. Case in point, Gal Guardians: Servants of the Dark has a gigantic dragon woman as a boss, as well as a massive plant monster girl. And don’t get me started on SAEKO: Giantess Dating Sim, one of the best Japanese indie titles to come out this year. Ever wanted to date a giant woman and watch her eat tiny people? SAEKO lets you do that. Of course, I’m certain many of you have already played through both. “Ana,” you might say to me, perhaps if you see me in the middle of Manhattan.
Your Mom and Dad Now Know What a VTuber Is Thanks to This Arrest. Maybe. Sorta

Before I reported on VTubing for VICE, I reported on it for The Mary Sue. One of my very first VTuber shout outs in the press was in an article about The Coffin of Andy and Leyley. Back in 2023, I gushed about my favorite let’s play for the game, performed by a talented VTuber who turned me into a diehard Nemlei fan. In my mind, Ashley Graves is synonymous with this VTuber’s performance of her. If you want TCOAAL voice acted, the best way to enjoy it is through this VTuber’s playthrough.
This Game Has a Giant Dragon Lady and Now I Wanna Play It

1 week ago | vice.com | Ana Valens

I woke up early this morning, wandered through my Steam wishlist (as one does), and came across a game I’ve been eyeing for quite some time. “Why did I put this game on my list again?” I groggily asked myself, requiring 200mg caffeine from a Celsius. “Oh yeah. There’s a very beautiful giant dragon woman in it, and so I would like to purchase this title as soon as humanly possible.”Gal Guardians: Servants of the Dark is totally my jam.

1 week ago | vice.com | Ana Valens

VTubing content can encompass a wide assortment of genres. Streaming, singing, video essays, even art streams. But while VTubing is beloved for providing escapism and retreat to viewers, VTubers can also work tirelessly for a good cause. Look no further than Dokibird raising well over $200,000 for Brain & Behavior Research Foundation, or now-graduated Hololive idol Amelia Watson drumming up more than $200,000 for Best Friends American Society.

VTubing is one of the most exciting and cutting edge ways to create content on the internet these days. But man, it’s expensive. Commissioning your own Live2D model can cost thousands of dollars. And even with the proliferation of pre-made VTuber bases, some are still over $100. So if you want to start VTubing without breaking the bank, check out this fantastic new YouTube video by VTuber Mifflue. You might just walk away with a high quality starting model for cheap.
Want to Get Started VTubing? You Need to Bookmark This VTuber's Resource List

These days, it feels like everyone is a little interested in VTubing. Content creators are VTuber-curious, if you will. But how do you actually get started as a VTuber? What does it entail? How do you stream to Twitch? And if you’re a small creator who lacks the budget to commission your own model or music, where can you turn to pick up some assets? All this and more can be answered with one of my favorite catch-all websites for new VTubers: VTResources.
Want to Meet Your Oshi at OffKai? You'll Need to Show Some ID

2 weeks ago | vice.com | Ana Valens

OffKai Expo is set to return in just a few days. Scheduled for June 20th to 22nd in San Jose, OffKai is one of the most important VTuber conventions in the entire English-language VTubing industry. Case in point, the event is sponsored by such major organizations as Phase Connect, Socks Agency, V-Dere, and V4Mirai. However, OffKai’s staff caused a stir on Sunday after the expo’s official Twitter account announced fans will need to bring ID for the expo’s VTuber Meet & Greets.
Uh Oh. 'MindsEye' Isn't Off to a Great Start on Steam

2 weeks ago | vice.com | Ana Valens

If you caught the IOI Showcase last Friday, then you likely remember IO Interactive’s first shot at a Summer Game Fest livestream event as a bit… bizarre. Plagued by audio issues, awkward banter, and an audience quick to hit the bar before the panel, one YouTube commenter summed up the entire showcase well: “Classic E3 cringe”. Yes, the Electronic Entertainment Expo may be gone, but its legacy lives on through this incredibly bizarre presser.
