getting acrylic on your toes is crazy as hell. we are about to see a bunch of 30 somethings losing toes in the next 10 years!!! acrylic is not good for your nails!!! and its especially not good for your toes, especially if your feet sweat or you wear a lot of closed toe shoes

I feel like what publishers took away from Baldurās Gateās success is that every game needs to have like 5000 hours of content, instead of the much more valuable takeaway imo: you need to let players have sex with a demon lady and a man who turns into a bear

In all seriousness, using generative AI in any part of your process is just lazy and sucks all of the personality out of a project. You guys played ValiDate: Volume 1 and understand why we stress the importance of human creativity. AI can't replicate Coochie Man!

This is a good exploration, but Iād like to see more diversity for these articles. Iām by no means influential in the games industry, but I have gotten harassed in games not only for being a woman, but also specifically for being a Black woman. Black women and women of color get it on two fronts

Something I have realized as I pitch and talk to other devs who are pitching narrative focused games, publishers and funders want a Dispatch under their belt, but nobody wants to fund it. And even if they do have the funds, they donāt believe in the projects that are being pitched to them.
