Women in the games industry already have to put up with a lot, but we shouldn’t have to do it alone. Men in the industry: if you see one of your fellow men doing behaving this way towards a woman at a professional conference, please speak up and tell them to CUT IT OUT.

I just want to be laughing in the sun with my friends

Linda Davis was killed by ICE today. A Black woman, a beloved teacher, killed by ICE in Savannah, Georgia. Her name is Linda Davis and she was killed by our government.

I'm so used to the dog-whistle homophobia of the 2020s that sometimes I'm taken aback when a guy is just old-school homophobic

Killing a French vampire with bread is painstaking.

I hope things in our industry change for the better in the future. I will not allow anyone to feel this way again.

“If you don’t kiss the feet of the fascist enablers and give up any leverage years in advance you are a fascist” I don’t think that’s true

Do you dream of revenge on billionaires? THEN WE HAVE THE GAME FOR YOU. Back our indie game made with rage + love on Kickstarter NOW and play our BRAND NEW DEMO on Steam www.kickstarter.com/projects/spe...

'the company that maintains my boyfriend's AI persona has jacked up the price ten-fold' is pretty classic cyberpunk; that the persona or the relationship never meaningfully existed in the first place is a level of bitter irony that might be too much even for an often ironic genre.

If I say I have a story proposal/script do I know any sequential artists who might want to pitch with me??

Year of the Fire Horse

Noah talking about cRPGs won't ever get old

Steam engines? Yeah they're steamy alright

BLACK GAME DEVELOPERS, WRITERS, ARTISTS AND CREATIVES AT LARGE I NEED YOU TO BE LOUD THIS MONTH*. I NEED YOU TO SHARE YOUR WORK LIKE YOU WILL DIE OTHERWISE, DO NOT BE PRECIOUS ABOUT ABOUT IT *This message also applies to every other month of the year, but the extra attention should be leveraged

This and "indie will save us" as re sentiments that I tolerate from a random lay person on the street but not from anyone semi-involved in this space

i think what a lot of people never seem to realize is that a lot of people's vision of an "epic dream game" isn't actually very deep and comes down to scale and/or having a lot of features, whereas by embracing limitations you can be pushed in a far more radical direction.

how can you live in this world and not get disgusted by capitalism and the devaluing of humans' worth?

Instagram was so offend by this post they’ve threatened to terminate my account. Cool! Grateful for the support here and Patreon 🖤

No darkness lasts forever. And even there, there are stars.

⚠️ Disturbing Footage Israel’s Nat'l Sec. Min. Itamar Ben-Gvir alongside his IPS Commissioner Kobi Yaakobi stormed Ofer Prison ahead of the Muslim holy month of Ramadan, detonating stun grenades near Palestinian detainees and boasting conditions are now “the opposite of an all-inclusive hotel...

What a crazy thing to say in a time where class consciousness is dangerously low and labor theory has been systemically removed from Western education. An insane thing to say. Wow. I didn't think a liberal could have disappointed me more but here we fucking are

King behavior

I love using premade assets for quick mockup and prototyping

palestinian journalist posting on twitter that his bluesky account was immediately taken down purely because he was in gaza. all palestinian accounts are assumed to be spam.

If this was a just world white libs would have to pay me compensations for the couple weeks that they've been glazing a moronic dangerous loser who constantly punches left and licks the taint off of the state capitalist assholes

Ending this operation is not enough. We need justice and accountability. That starts with independent investigations into the murders of Renee Good and Alex Pretti, economic restitution for businesses impacted, abolishing ICE, and the impeachment of Kristi Noem.

You can't... repeal... a scientific finding. At that point it's just called lying about it.

The fact that the masses are spontaneously being drawn into the movement does not make the organisation of this struggle less necessary. On the contrary, it makes it more necessary

This is genuinely insane, I clicked to see the years expecting the low part to be 70s or maybe 90s but its 2015!!!!! The entire anti trans panic is a decade old

what's the adult alternative for "an advanced critical reading class"?

jesus they're not even waiting for one hype cycle to crash before starting the next pivot

1000%

So... my school district is about to go on strike. While this is very good and much needed... it's going to be quite detrimental to me financially and there is limited mutual aid available through the union. However it's Bandcamp Friday so please consider picking up some of my music!

god damn Lyonel Baratheon

I'm not believing this until I hear from people in the streets of MN and neither should you

Here it is. I cannot think of another outlet that would have let me do this, I was only able to because of @aftermath.site. Reader support lets me do these incredibly long term features.

There's no industry left. It's the age of mercenaries

"It's an indie studio so they all signed up for this" Y'all I'm really struggling to not be just a crazy violent person but this decade's been trying

Why don't these people get that AI will not empower you to make money because it's paradoxical. Either it is so accessible and easy to use that everyone can just make what you can make anyway, rendering your creations worthless. Or that it is bad or really hard to get actual value from.

Man will literally reinvent Pascal'wager before accepting socialism

Making games is so difficult and so satisfying

See that fundamentally, AI has to work based on deception. If people know it's made by AI, there's just no point in publishing, and even less of a point in buying it because you can also just prompt your own AI novel at home. So these AI writers need to lie. And that's their only business model.

btw if there are any ttrpg streamers/video-ers in seasia (or just asia ig) that want me to run a game for them (either one shot or up to a three shot) as an actual play just shoot me a dm

“Please enjoy the museum”: Relooted is OUT NOW! Please share!

As someone who didn't really have any major issue with the original reporting, I still appreciate Rascal taking the feedback and updating the piece. I want to show my support to them and their effort to cover labor issue in the TTRPG space. So if you haven't, go give them a sub.
