this bill is legitimately a three-alarm fire. if they manage to define trans existence as explicit then there is nothing stopping them from genocide. i need every single cis person talking about this, calling their reps, getting out in the streets.

Work scheduling conflicts have forced me to skip MAGfest this year. Hope you all collectively have an amazing time!

If you haven't already, January is a good time to cancel your Xbox Game Pass in solidarity with Palestine. Read more about the boycott on our website and sign our pledge at nogamesforgenocide.com

As you read the news today, watch who phrases the news as an "illegal invasion and regime change" versus "bringing democracy". It'll tell you everything you need to know about the news source you're reading, and frankly should decide whether you ever read them seriously again.

I hope it looks even worse next time we see it

here's an updated guide on how to remove all of the AI from Firefox

Part of the 30% cut that Valve takes is the implicit agreement that they'll protect developers from the hassle of dealing with individual payment providers, and if they're not actually willing to go to bat for us, why are we paying them so much again

In fairness, it was a horrible thing to wish upon a woodchipper.

Something that ran through my head as I saw descriptions for Steam Next Fest games: if the project uses gen AI, it’s an instant skip Yes, even if it’s “just” for store assets However it’s intended, it LOOKS like an active gap in your craft, and there’s infinite other games to spend my time on

First time doing a totally original 5e adventure for a group went real well! Looking forward to doing this again in 2 weeks!

Bluesky moderation suspending trans people for wishing ill on the members of a hate group who are actively working to eradicate us shows us what a morally bankrupt crock of shit civility is and how it only serves to punish victims and protect victimizers. Bluesky should be ashamed of themselves.

VILE: Exhumed may be banned for sale, but I refuse to let that stop people from playing the game. It’s now available, for free, at WWW.VILEISBANNED.COM Please share the site, share the game, and fuck anyone who tries to control storytelling and expression.

Just sent letters of complaint to Stripe and Visa. Corporations can never be allowed to dictate what constitutes acceptable art.

after a very frustrating call with Visa (US+CAN), I was told that Visa would like inquiries relating to using their bargaining power to destroy adult media to be sent, via email, to [email protected] they asked. to be sent. emails. you know what to do.

Hey all! Due to restructuring at my old company, I got laid off on Friday. I'm looking for work again and have 9+ years of experience as a web developer. If anyone has any leads on jobs in Pennsylvania or remote opportunities, please let me know.

Got lucky! Barely a dozen people at my store with 40 consoles up for order.

TODAY'S THE DAY! My collection of dragon themed short stories Tales of Scales is out now at @fenrispublishing.bsky.social ! www.fenrispublishing.com/product.php?... #FurryWriting #dragon #queer #TalesofScales #kobold

Terrible game pitch: Rose and Camillia, but it's an Umineko spinoff where Natsuhi Ushiromiya slaps the everloving shit out of every blood relative in a bid for the ten tons of gold. ...and also one very unfortunate servant.

10 years ago this week, I started work on Tunic. The game wouldn't have been the success it was without LGBTQ+ folks, both devs and players. So, I'm matching donations to Trans Lifeline. If you can spare $5 (or more!) reply with your donation and I'll X2 it. Thank you! 💕 give.translifeline.org

This $10 game bundle is a great deal to support the trans community

Magfest was a blast! Once I recover I'll try to get my pics and thoughts organized for posting, but I had a great time and I'll be seeing you all next year!

...aaand there goes Twitter. Leaving those accounts abandoned was clearly not the right move.

FB account deleted, making progress in the right direction!

Merry Crisis!

Starting a thread of blocklists to share (feel free to reply with your favorites)

Harlan Ellison's I Have No Mouth and I Must Sing: A Broadway Spectacular ...no apologies, I cannot kill my brain worms, only thin them out.

we in video games have an even greater obligation to make noise and not yield in the face of the right because our industry's complacency and cowardice is a significant catalyst for how we arrived at this outcome. angry gamers are cowards. call their bluff, every time.

The Mr. Rogers advice for moments of crisis is a useful thing to remember right now. Look for the helpers. Look for the people organizing to protect the most vulnerable. Look for the people who have been concretely planning for how to respond, and are ready to implement. Join them, if you can.

Spending all day with my boys in Brilehaven watching the face stones to see who becomes the next king

...welp, I can't say I've ever had a monitor stand snap in half on me before.

I accidentally plowed through @scalzi.com's Starter Villain in one sitting. Had a very fun time, thank you very much!

It's a nice change of pace, being early enough to the party to get the handle I want and not some horrendous 'close enough' aberration.
