I see a lot of up its own ass game writing advice these days from folks who just want to gatekeep the act of writing. Now more than ever this silly talk feels relevant. Inspiration and technique can be found and built from any foundation. What turns out meaningful depends on how *you* find meaning.

Holy shit Weapons was such a funny movie. Incredible shit

I am realizing that I need a gender dysphoria diagnosis to be able to use my work gender affirming care coverage. SURELY that can't be too hard????

Honestly I feel the same way with narrative design and games writing. Every style of writing and narrative design choice has it's place. Having wonderful prose is great, but it doesn't mean that something with "bad" writing is inherently worse. It's all about context dawg

Signed! 💪 And it took less than 60 seconds! If you support game developers organizing for a better conditions and a brighter future for our medium, you should sign too!

Um holy shit is it time to play ff14 for real?????????????

Went on a little dinner date for our 11th anniversary hehehe

Have you ever went to go do a blood test and forgot to take your requisition? Well then you can join my "went to do a blood test and forgot to take your requisition" club

Good, and very important lil thread. I had people telling me "don't try to get into game narrative" when I was a jr and times in the industry were GOOD. Trust me, I understand feeling angry with the industry but telling people this kind of thing is both deeply unhelpful and makes you seem sus.

Orion and Sirius: a rivalry for the ages. Which side will you choose? Coming to the Origin System in Jade Shadows: Constellations this June.

Trying to simply the cradle of fantasy from my game, though it might take me a bit to get this to the point where it feels good lol

So much of the hatred and harassment towards game developers from reactionary online voices is specifically underpinned by virulent misogynoir. The Black women working in game dev go so undefended it is maddening.

Been slowly working on a gideon the ninth inspired sword because I love the books an unhealthy amount

Do I get a new ipad to draw on to replace my ailing 2018 one with my tax return? Should I do it chat

SHREK MOVIE NIGHT BABY

Seems like all narrative designers are beautiful funny women with great opinions

I'm having a colonoscopy soon yayyyyy

You know, I briefly thought I didn't like ttrpgs last year, but I'm realizing that it was actually being in a tabletop game about colonization where white guys would make fantasy racism jokes around my partner and I, the only two women and POC there, that I disliked.

NOBODY is doing it like @sunsetvisitor.studio

HOLY SHIT THIS LOOKS SOOOO GOOOOOOOD

An AI dares to dream that she is human. You’ve been hired to put her in her place. We’re sunset visitor 斜陽過客, the creators of 1000xRESIST, and this is our next game: Prove You’re Human. Published by our friends at @blacktabbygames.com. s.team/a/4533950

How do I get faster at writing. What is the secret

Finalllllly got my Fursona where I wanted her. I need to paint more lol

my sibling Kay has been trying to work through what is honestly an insurmountable cost for months and months now, if you have any bucks to spare or can at least give this a share, it would mean a lot to both of us!

To get this kind of lighting in the old days you'd have to find the sketchiest GTA4 enb preset possible from a sole russian teen that falls apart the second anything on screen moves. We have lost much as a culture.

a resource-intensive feature that nobody asked for which solves no known problem AND is functionally not just useless, but actively makes the product worse? SOLD! 100 BILLION TO OPENAI, NOW!!!

Dlss 5 is horrible. Who did Nvidia think would like this.

Resident evil 9 is so good. It's so good. It's SO good god I love Grace so much

I resisted the urge to put Undertale 9 times, are you proud of me

OHHHHH THE FUCKING RIGHTEOUS, VINDICATED FURY COURSING THROUGH MY VEINS

2008: Epstein is convicted of procuring a minor for prostitution 2018: Despite that conviction, [files indicate] he was invited by Rowling’s team - along with a guest of his choosing - to the Broadway opening of Harry Potter and the private after-party Protecting women and children, is it?

youtu.be/k7wg8kMDhe8?... at 1:10:00 she says: "we will continue, these fucking assholes are not going to get away with it"

brass solidarity band performing “stand by me” in the streets of whittier next to alex pretti’s memorial. the crowd started chanting “the people united will never be defeated” so they incorporated it into the song. i love minneapolis

the only bottom-up revolutions to successfully seize and maintain power for any significant period of time have been: - well organized - self governing - met the needs of their people - progressively replacing the functions of the existing dying government - in control of the means of production

THIS. THIS 1000x. Do NOT stop fighting against these injustices until the systems holding them up are dismantled. It's the only way things really change.

This hit so fucking hard today.

so don't get too comfortable. #art

For those who can, here are links to donate directly to local efforts on the ground resisting ICE's terrorizing of Minneapolis. Let me know what you donated to where, and I'll match it until I get a panicked call from my bank! linktr.ee/mplsmutualaid

if I see you dooming on the timeline you have to donate to the Minneapolis strike fund

"During the darkest days of the AIDS crisis, we buried our friends in the morning, we protested in the afternoon, and we danced all night. The dance kept us in the fight because it was the dance we were fighting for."

Sloooowly figuring out my new fursona design

You should go follow Leah, look at how great this design is omg

Releasing it in pieces every day is making me feral tbh I'm going insane

I actually cannot believe that FGO's story is ending man. What the fuck

I've seen some vocally anti-AI people recently make an anti-AI post and be surprised there are still pro-AI people following them, and I can explain this; most pro-AI people think they are somehow the exception. the way THEY are using it, SURELY you would take no issue! well, we do. so fuck off.
