in theaters, soon, from the liberals who brought you “trump is your fault because you wouldn’t vote for someone who wouldn’t stand up against a genocide,” it’s “third term trump is your fault because you wouldn’t vote for someone who refuses to vote for your rights as a trans person”

Learned that I am being laid off from Heart Machine, and will be leaving the studio later this month. Do you need a contractor? I've got a track record of leading scope-friendly script revisions late in dev. I have also done a lot of consulting on new IPs and pitches/demos. Feel free to DM me!

If you hire me AND bruno, you could get two long-time collaborators who will make your material, whatever it is, *alarmingly* unhinged

Just wanna say thank you to @helloitsmouse.bsky.social and her community for joining me on my Umineko journey. You guys are hilarious and I loved theorizing and ranting with you for 10+ hours yesterday.

just made a 12 slide deck about a visual novel instead of finishing reading the visual novel

There is a simple and basic truth here which is that this is not how legitimate law enforcement agencies in a democratic nation state behave. It’s simple and basic, so much so that it bears repeating again and again lest it slip away through the open Overton window.

Burger Becky, a trans elder in game development, was recently diagnosed with cancer. When she sets up the inevitable fundraiser to help pay for treatment i hope people will consider giving.

Now that we know happiness is a warm gun and sympathy is a knife, it's pretty clear that we need to reinvest in basic research to identify which other feelings are also weapons

Nobody who is capable of making a twitter should ever be allowed to make a twitter. Nobody who *wishes* to make a twitter should be allowed in public life. Give them a frozen pumpkin filled with ground-up meat and let them worry at it in the corner of the enclosure

i've held my tongue on this for too long. it's time for me to speak up. i should have a long time ago but it's taken me a while to work up the courage. here we go... instrumental covers of contemporary pop songs in period dramas are a scourge. they singlehandedly ruined bridgerton

1-866-952-4456 to tell Netflix that in no way do you want Elon fucking Musk determining what you watch. I just called, got through in about 15 seconds, and told them that I strongly support queer inclusion in their programming and that I will cancel my subscription if they cave.

TODAY IS THE ONLY DAY YOU CAN REPOST THIS!!!

the pittsburgh experience is like you have terrible experiences with every nail salon and then search it on reddit or whatever and everyone goes “you have to go to this one salon! it’s amazing!” and that salon is 35 mins into the suburbs with no transportation system. but for every service

I had to expunge my thoughts on Bluesky's current, uh, choppy waters into a proper blog post (which jay can't take down for being too mean or saying 'lol' in a threatening way) azhdarchid.com/delusions-of...

it's coming

i will repost this now for the last time! please send doggies if you've got em <3

Shelter "dog" (available for adoption in Austin, TX (likes a ball))

🗣️THIS is the message!! Brava, Congresswoman @aoc.bsky.social!!

So the usual suspects are going after a "cozy survival indie game" because they allegedly worked with Sweet Baby Inc. These people need to be put away.

first five nights of chemo are done as of last night. three weeks of rest/rehab to get me back to walking again. if you have the means to share or donate while i'm waiting for disability payment for bills, i would be mighty grateful, thank you. www.paypal.com/paypalme/tyr... cash.app/$tyreforhyred

babe wake up babe the worst person you’ve ever met wants to debate you about the overton window in american political discourse for three hours in a public discord

I try not to bring over twitter screenshots but I’m making an exception for this, the website that logs every slur said by TF2 players and reveals that the second most slur-using player is named “hekki grace”

🚨 New directive NSPM-7 targets "anti-capitalism," “anti-Christian,” and “anti-American" opinions as indicators of extremist violence, authorizing an army of 4,000 counter-terrorism officers to prevent crimes that haven't happened: www.kenklippenstein.com/p/trumps-nsp...

trying to imagine meeting an average human being and saying "so i play games for peoples to watch on a website and i have a little mouse avatar that people make art of, and they thought itd be funny to make an alternate reality where its a moose instead and make 20 pieces of art about the moose"

Put together some thoughts here. In an earlier time he would have been the kind of writer being paid $5 a word by magazines to go write about whatever he pleased. And no one would be pissed off or jealous about it either. www.welcometohellworld.com/life-is-a-pr...

send thoughts and prayers to gildy, who won't stop biting at his hurt foot and making it bleed so now he gets a cone and a new exotics vet to see if we can get a better management plan. notably the first time in my life i've sought a second medical opinion

I know Hades 2 comes out today, but I'm begging people to check out Consume Me, an IGF-winning sensation that's got so much heart

check out this interview if you want to know (some of) our secrets >:]

was talking to @arentios.bsky.social and consume me might actually beat out e33 for goty for me, a feat i did not consider possible

for the day timers i cannot believe how good consume me was i am still reeling

I finished this game in one sitting and I cannot recommend it enough as a narrative experience. The way the gameplay folds into the story that's told and the emotional journey it takes you on is truly one of a kind. I am so glad I got to play it bsky.app/profile/qdor...

saw someone on reddit today saying they couldn’t sign up to be a leftist because leftists “type in all capital letters” too much and it feels like they’re being “yelled at.” what are we doing here

Consume Me is finally out! This game blew me away when I looked at it for IGF. It deals with the real pressures of growing up as a teenage girl while telling that story through a whirlwind of delightful QWOP-like minigames. It’s charming and fun and smart and I hope everyone checks it out.

if you live in the pittsburgh area upmc is already well known for union busting, nickel and diming patients, running for profit nursing homes, and shutting down clinics to funnel patients into overworked ones, so this is the latest in a long history www.erininthemorning.com/p/trans-pati...

messaged an old friend because i felt bad we hadn't talked in a while, got the response "this is his wife, sorry i didn't tell you sooner, he died earlier this year." late 30s go hard
