Our PAX West 2026 Pitch Your Game Idea panelists: • Kris Straub • Porkfry • Annie VanderMeer (designer on Unpacking & Guild Wars 2) • Kim Swift (creator of Portal!) • Maezie Ellis (token Gen Z) Come find us at #PAXWest on Saturday, September 5 @ 9PM in the Frog Theater!

these are the words of an expert

Blockity block block block @altnoaa.bsky.social I don't give a flying feck if you think I'm shallow.

i have calls scheduled but don’t know if they’re pitching me or if i’m supposed to pitch them

One of today's political prisoners. Cartoonist & zine maker Daniel Rolando Sanchez Estrada wasn't even at the ICE protest. He was accused of "moving" a box of anti-Trump zines THE NEXT DAY. A rightwing judge sentenced him to 30 years! Just for possessing zines. The darkness is descending.

i don’t like the expression “that’s an hour of my life i’ll never get back” so is this one. they all are

Yes, self promotion sucks, academics, but if you don’t do it nobody will find out about your work. The point is to publish and be read, not publish and hope you are discovered by fate, lifted out of a humble and pure obscurity so that you may be both famous and retiring

All uses of AI are costing someone… this sucks as the Game UI database is such a valuable resource.

people with spasmodic dysphonia will never hold office, they’ll never deliver speeches. they’ll never swim in sewage or eat roadkill

AAA is broken because the “leaders” didn’t understand line never goes up infinitely forever. But guess what: we can break the wheel by making our own wheels. Support smaller studios and be unafraid to strike out on your own. Yes it’s hard, but it is how our craft will persevere now.

I'm just saying that the internet millennial grew up with, the experimental almost mystical exploration of knowledge and ideas does not exist anymore. Social media is designed to manipulate you in countless ways and I think maybe we need to come up with a new, different idea

Joe Rogan is what'd happen if Sylvester Stallone and Elmer Fudd got into a transporter accident.

Yup! I'll get right on that.

i never played kingdom hearts and i think kingdom hearts looks dumb as hell but man simple and clean makes me very emotional

dreamed that the 3d printed gun debate was over bc someone figured out how to make a firearm with origami

People like Kane and many many others that do care about human art and the creative process have been a beacon of hope while trying to navigate making art in this current climate.

wow! “starbucks” backwards is “suckbrats”

Ted Chiang is brilliant. He takes the question of AI consciousness to its logical conclusion—really a must-read, right down to the last word: www.theatlantic.com/philosophy/2...

Andy Merrill (Brak) is an Amazon delivery driver. Carey Means (Frylock) got CHF from/exacerbated by COVID & was recently working as a restaurant dishwasher. C. Martin Croker (Zorak) died of sepsis from an infected tooth he couldn't afford to get treated. Capitalism destroys both art & artist.

okay. I'm caught up on the lego drama ACAB now and forever. holy shit. Every single fucking cop in utah needs to be thrown in jail forever. oh my fucking god. this lego guy has captured some of the most stark evidence of police corruption I've ever seen or heard in my entire life

The House is expected to vote TOMORROW on Rep Tlaib’s resolution to end US complicity in Israel’s invasion and devastation of Lebanon. Israeli government leaders could not be more clear: This is a campaign of ethnic cleansing.

Open AI doesn't want to be transparent about what's in their AI training datasets - this bill would force them. If that sounds good, we REALLY NEED YOUR HELP! Please sign this petition in support of the bill, it'll take you 2 minutes: tinyurl.com/4uxbp963 1/

Y'all. Please remember the artists that drew these things when sending around memes. I feel for these artists who NEVER get credited for these (and some, nowadays, are even being accused of being AI!) Here's a few common ones I see (feel free to add others, I want this to be a living thread): 🧵

This is seriously fucked. Like for starters they’re using commercial web analytics that are in no way in line with federal privacy disclosure requirements…

Fyi the cupcake character is one created by Loryn Brantz, who has this to say about Buzzfeed using it without her permission.

this bugs me: destiny was about teamwork, combating darkness with selflessness. marathon is about corporate sword logic. it feels less like a criticism of greed and more like a celebration of it. that’s valid too but i don’t want to spend time there; i already live in the US
