GDC's 2026 IGF winner calls out U.S. cruelty at home and abroad

I have some stuff to do. I don't want to do it. The old dilemma.

In case you didn't know, Kickstarter employees formed a Union! They went on a strike last year to protect their working conditions, and as retaliation, 4 union members were laid off last month. If you use KS, write a letter to their leadership here: actionnetwork.org/letters/kick...

Good people headed to the @unpub.org Festival this weekend, my Saturday is full but I've still got plenty of time available to schedule a playtest of your game and give you a consultation on a solo mode if needed. I just ask for a donation of any size to dravetfoundation.org. #GameDesign #BoardGames

it’s cool how fencers say ‘on god’ before they fight

“I have a lot more in common with someone who’s working in a whole other industry, who does something completely different than I do, than I do with the technocrat billionaires,” said Arleigh Atkinson, a software engineer at Kickstarter. @kickstarterunited.org @opeiulocal153.bsky.social

Four members of @kickstarterunited.org who played an active role in the November 2025 labor strike have been laid off, with one member forced out of the bargaining unit. The union has filed unfair labor practice charges against Kickstarter, alleging anti-union retaliation.

Sneak peek of my next YouTube video coming soon 🪿

I’M SORRYYYY! INDIE FUNDING ITSELF IS NOT CANCELLED (WELL IT KINDA IS A LITTLE I GUESS BUT NOT BY ME AND SUNNI AT LEAST) JUST THE GDC TALK. WE’LL DO IT NEXT YEAR. JUST SURVIVE UNTIL THEN. PLS.

When you had to cancel your GDC talk but it reads like you cancelled every indie funding opportunity instead. Lollll fuck 😬😬😬😬😬😅😅😂😂

Thank you to @kickstarterunited.org for creating these and getting the word out! PLEASE SHARE!

RIP Democracy you would have loved prosecuting all these freaks

Please join our rally today! bsky.app/profile/kick...

We are hosting a virtual rally this Friday, 2/27 at 12pm ET on Zoom. Join us to hear from our speakers and support the re-instatement of unit members who Kickstarter retaliated against, 3 months after our historic 42-day remote strike won our latest contract bit.ly/ksrurally

KSRU members are facing retaliation for legally-protected activity after a historic 42 day long strike in October/November of last year. On February 11, 2026, Kickstarter targeted union members who took an active role in the strike, laying off four people and moving one out of the bargaining unit.

I've seen your steam backlogs. Many of you should be hosting a Previous Fest.

Want a shot of good news today? Starbucks workers are continuing to organize their stores, win union elections, and fight back against corporate greed. Congrats to partners joining us this month in Virginia, Arkansas, Texas, Missouri, & Ohio! ✊ Our union is better with you in it.

hi friends. it would really mean a lot to me if you could share this. thank you so much 💖

Please share!!!!!

I adore this move 💖

I make games because I love every step of the process—the initial idea, the scrappy first prototype, the first playtest filled with glee and failure and hope. Here’s my scrappy first prototype of Tiny Towns. [1/6]

Woodworking Hack: instead of wasting a wish on a clamp, ask the monkey’s paw for two other things you need and put your workpiece between its fingers as they curl

got some vet bills and car stuff to handle this month while my partner whittles away at all the paper from insurance companies & hospitals from a broken leg. any support from commissioning me, backing me on patreon, or simply sharing my work with someone in your life is appreciated.

Hi friends. I’m bringing the Patreon back. I’m thinking about starting with a short weekly podcast talking about game design on previous (and in-development) games. Anything else people would be interested in hearing about? Pic of some of my loves for the algorithm.

This thread is GOLD

The "most irresponsible time management system" is now out there in the wild. Use it only for good, and do not wield its power lightly.

I had a wonderful time being interviewed by the amazing @toitle.bsky.social for @kickstarter.com and @thecreativeindependent.com, and the pieces just went live today! Check them out here: updates.kickstarter.com/creator-spot... thecreativeindependent.com/people/game-...

If Starbucks won’t respect workers at the bargaining table, they don’t deserve our clicks or orders. Our call to action is simple: 📱 Delete the Starbucks app. #DeleteTheApp bit.ly/deletetheapp

2/ Our readers deserve clear labeling on AI content, and we deserve job security. Sign our petition for a fair contract and we’ll keep you updated on our campaign: actionnetwork.org/petitions/te...

1/ At bargaining yesterday, @propublica.org management said that they should have 100% discretion to replace workers with AI and would not commit to labeling future AI-generated content.

What real placeholder text looks like:

HELL YES @sbworkersunited.org BIG WIN!!!!! gothamist.com/news/starbuc...

So about yesterday... DCWP announced a $39 million settlement that's going into the pockets of NYC baristas, PLUS both @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social and @sanders.senate.gov joined us on the picket line. Name a more iconic day 🥰 nypost.com/2025/12/01/u...

As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history. Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX

“The game is played over nine seasons, with three special scoring seasons coming after Seasons 3, 6, and Season 9, which is the last season. Each season is made up of five rounds of two turns each. On your turn you get a choice of five actions, of which you'll play two…”

apparently some giant nerds at the NYC Conflicts of Interest Board designed a dungeon crawl ("Escape from the Dinkins Building") to help reinforce staff education. I demand to know why I have been forced to do online modules instead of a TTRPG 🙄 www.nyc.gov/assets/coib/...

WE WON! After 42 days of striking we have a tentative agreement in hand that protects our existing 4 day work week, establishes a minimum salary, and adds protections against AI replacing jobs at our workplace!

Metatopia was excellent as usual. I had 3 very productive playtests of Smash Dash and got to play an interesting variety of games, the best of which was Look Into My Eyes from @nickmajorbowden.bsky.social. Elegant 2-player battle of wits with multiple juicy decisions every turn. Incredible game.

i’m back on my bullshit

Help mom I’m being bullied by 87 year old novella writer Joyce Carol Oates again can you pick me up

I know, everybody should leave X, but I think an exception should be made solely for Joyce Carol Oates so she can keep wounding Musk's withered soul on his own site and he can't do a thing about it.

This is wild - cw: transphobia, body shaming 😞

politics rn are when youre playing a social deception game and one of your teammates on the not-hitler side doesn't want to take the game seriously and you all lose and they don't know why everyone is so upset at them
