Trying to bully people into mourning is a wild tactic and even wilder that in some spaces it is working. Like, what?

I actually if anyone is tracking the financial hit that comes from anti-woke gaming boycotts. I don’t think it will be sustainable to make pivots based on their inability to be adults.

Seems like this is appropriate again. Watch @spawnonmepodcast.bsky.social

One of the most telling things of this moment is seeing mass amounts of people WILLFULLY and GLEEFULLY doing the work for oppression. Between ICE, Gamergate, random citizens tattling. All for ideals that are meant to terrorize.

Been thinking about this all day and this resonated super hard. I work and want to continue to work in an industry that is supposed to be fun and bring joy, but everyday there is a new fight with people cosplaying as adults fussing about made up grievances that cause real harm to real humans.

Mark your calendars: The Indie Game Awards officially return on December 18th, 2025. 🏆 www.indiegameawards.gg

Someone asked me about how I’m feeling about everything that happened this week and the response to it. My answer was.. “I feel extra Black” IYKYK

Thanks to the person that reminded me www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-f...

It is pretty frustrating that the firing of comedians has galvanized more public political push back towards this administration than all the awful shit this administration planned with Project 2025 and has already enacted.

Saw a YouTuber that got platformed by grifters talk about how the project Take Us North is propaganda. As always get info from people doing the work to speak to the actual humans behind projects. open.spotify.com/episode/61Q6...

As always, getting to see the amazing work that the folks from @gdocexpo.com do every year is inspiring.

I’m used to understanding how covert social manipulation can affect a population because ya know..history. It is just really weird to see so many people fall for just like blatant lies and misinformation.

For YEARS, we’ve heard alt-right, and gamers in harassment groups say “the left has infected games and right leaning developers are being silenced” With this new harassment campaign more devs are potentially being fired. I mean you do know conservative devs lose their jobs too if studios close.

I just refuse to be gaslit by this moment. There is too much history, information and understanding. I know what my eyes and ears are telling me.

It is already very difficult to get developers to do public facing tasks due to time away from work, introversion and safety. After this this week I bet we see much much less without real incentives from a studio. I advise devs to remove any work related connections from personal social accounts.

It’s been a min since I put out a @spawnonmepodcast.bsky.social episode. I’ll be honest, the combo of gaming news being kind of bleh, job hunting and now all this past week’s madness has made it very hard to want to be creative.

Credits rolled! Check out my review on @spawnonmepodcast.bsky.social YouTube & Spotify. September 25th at 6 AM PST! #GhostOfYotei Subscribe and hit the bell for notifications!!

I know this will go on deaf ears and not sure how much it will actually matter but I employ people to dip your toes into ALL of this content these people make. I’ve seen WAY TOO many people “surprised” by the bile getting shared online that breeds these levels of hatred.

I remember when GG had a hissy fit about people talking amongst themselves in private groups. Now looking at this wild cancel culture campaign it feels like we need more of those to vent safely.

Spicy takes shouldn’t cost you your job. Also companies need to hire people who can help sort out what online complaints are valid and which ones are coming from unhinged mobs.

It is constantly frustrating to see how quickly almost every space we cohabit capitulates instantly to soothe racist, misogynistic and anti-LGBTQ ideology.

Those narratives CHANGED QUICK HUH?

Anytime I see content that’s sole purpose is to harass people (and especially game devs) I report that stuff immediately.

We don't yet have any idea what the ideology of the Kirk shooter was. But we do know that the Denver school shooter was a far-right white supremacist. www.denverpost.com/2025/09/11/e...

The “I’m leaving the left” crowd are a spineless lot. Backbones the size of quail toes. I’m not surprised, but I’ve not seen people run from ideals this hard en masse in a long time.

New Unlocked is here! @KahliefAdams joins us to discuss: -Forza Horizon 6's rumored location – and when we think it might be released -Silksong and Indy DLC impressions -Game Pass comments from ex-Xbox execs And more! Listen on podcast feeds or here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=fmWH...

In times like these I just remember that we share space with lots of really morally disingenuous not smart humans. What actually worries me is that so many of these folks are parents.

Shout out to reasonable people who have memories longer than a goldfish.

I had a REALLY good sandwich today!

There is a really interesting conversation to be had about the Venn diagram of Evo taking Saudi money, moral compasses, the idea of ethical consumption and “publicly unsatisfying but worthwhile activism” I doubt we’ll see it though because people would have to be REALLY honest.

Last week grifters tried to take control of the narrative around the Kickstarter project #TakeUsNorth that is looking to share another side of the migration story. We re-share our conversation with the team to debunk the lies & let the team speak for themselves! podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/s...

There is no better feeling in this life than talking to people who actually know their shit. I need more people in my life like this.

Bluesky having such restrictive video settings makes it really hard to build a community on here. Sucks that they still haven't addressed this.

Playing GTA and COD as a kid, being able to name and recognize AK-47s, RPGs and Glocks in elementary school based on video game knowledge. And the fact that it was encouraged because I was a young boy. I wish I had the education that this organization is providing.
