This game brought me back to old tycoon flash games and apps like tiny tower in the best way possible. I'm real jazzed to try the full release

“The number one thing that we’re here to defend as artists is humanity… We’re here not to think about makes human life easy, what makes it convenient, but what it’s like to actually live.”

I'm too late for Itch creator day BUT I worked on a game with some college peeps a year or so ago and it's entirely free! It's the second game I ever worked on and my first foray into romance. Peruse at your pleasure :) soul-mates-dev.itch.io/soul-mates

arguing about AI on here today is the coward’s path and you know it, you gotta go do it with your worst uncle

Big day for annoying people (me)

I really like Blonde by Frank Ocean but I always find myself going back to Moon Shaped Pool by Radiohead. But I didn't really listen to it until my 20s. 16 year old me probably was listening to like Imagine Dragons and Twenty One Pilots I think. Who's to say. I was a character.

Never forget the all-time greatest placeholder asset, from Doom 64

Every time you use AI slop in your game, even as a placeholder, even if it's supposed to be temporary, you're helping to destroy the video game industry little by little. aftermath.site/the-alters-a...

Execs are trying to muddy the waters around Gen-AI as a ‘push against all AI’ because they hear the unified dissent and they want to crush it via division. Don’t let them. Say it louder. Every time you see a statement like this, push back harder. Let them know you see them exactly for who they are.

Playing something recently has really brought back up the fact that when writing game romances, player consent really has to be considered at all times. No one should be hit on or kissed or anything in a game without telling the game "yes i want this."

networking is an incredibly important part of maintaining a professional presence in your creative industry, but it can be daunting. have you tried being completely fucking ridiculous online

i now get to do my favorite thing... critique a thing i liked >:) (which is okay! being critical of media you *like* is really good actually)

“Don’t gather some of the most brilliant activists in the industry, treat us like crap, and then expect us to do nothing about it.” After the Game Awards cancelled its Future Class programme, @alyssamerc.bsky.social talked to its former honorees www.theguardian.com/games/2025/n...

When Senate Republicans vote against healthcare subsidies in December that they “promised” a vote on Chuck Schumer is going to write the most strongly worded letter OF ALL TIME! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

BREAKING: Starbucks workers have just authorized a massive strike. Union Starbucks baristas voted to authorize the strike by 92%. Now baristas in over 25 cities could launch an unfair labor practice strike on Thursday, November 13th.

basically every 2024 truism is dead. Trump did not build a lasting multiracial coalition or turn young men into committed Republicans. You don’t need to cave on trans rights to win. The pundits have nothing left to tell you.

I checked Settings & Privacy --> Data Privacy --> Data for Generative AI Improvement, and I was opted in by default, so go turn it off if you haven't yet!

Honestly I grew up a white sox fan and after more than a decade of despair, watching the world series has reminded me what good baseball looks like

Yamamoto has to get mvp right? Like come on

Hey.

*whispering to self* do not fall for the rage bait do not fall for the rage bait

its amazing how red he can get

wanted to boost this again since, unsurprisingly, nothing has panned out (remember this isn't normal!) open to contract and full time work, games-adjacent or no

I think about this LeGuin essay a lot. (link in next post; you should read it too.)

A portion of every dollar spent on Harry Potter merchandise goes to anti-transgender campaigns.

New YouTube video! This one's all about writing tests: what they are, how to handle them, etc! I even wrote up a fake writing test for you to try your hand at if you like! :) youtu.be/049qX3gpgVU?...

Mamdani: "But there is one thing that I will change: I will no longer look for myself in the shadows. I will find myself in the light."

It's important to remember that this is how executives in the games industry are talking about art. The workers at Boss Fight and Netflix Games at large deserve better.

Everyone Who Worked On A Video Game Needs To Be In The Credits - aftermath.site/video-game-c...

I don’t talk about it much because the situation doesn’t really change but it’s still insane to me what an enormous amount of really talented game developers are out of work. just whole studios worth of incredible people, often people who worked on beloved games, unemployed.

Get me on the Great British Baking Show for Focaccia week and I will do just okay! It will be edible! Maybe I'd get a handshake from Paul Hollywood if he saw how hard I tried.

Anyways I am making bread today and am only 40% confident about it

Star Wars has always been anti-fascist, most notable in Andor recently. But I feel there has been a failure for it to really show a "what comes after." There's a constant idea it pushes that the Republic, the system that failed originally, must be rebuilt. The Jedi order must be rebuilt. It's odd.

they are so close to understanding the entire point of trade

I really need to finish half life 2

this rocks. when indiana edu killed the student newspaper, Purdue stepped up, printed the forbidden issue, drove it to Bloomington and stocked the boxes.

Earlier this year, Dr. Jane Goodall sat down for an interview for Brad Falchuk’s new Netflix series, Famous Last Words. The premise of the series is to interview people on the condition that the interview not air until the subject has passed away.
