Something worth noting: Rockstar is leaning HEAVILY on the excuse that the unionising employees were "leaking private company information" They want people to assume this means game info or assets. But I will bet you CASH MONEY this translates to: 'they were comparing salaries and work contracts"

I! LOVE! INTERACTIVE! FICTION!!!

is it a monument to man's hubris? yes. is it aesthetically aligned with our brand? unfortunately. will it be eaten on stream? absolutely

This wasn’t about leaking GTA VI. It was: Rockstar illegally firing union members to stop the studio from unionizing. it directly contradicts Rockstar’s PR narrative and confirms almost everything that people suspected was going on.

existing in a 'freeze state', trying to maintain status quo or regress to a more familiar time is a trauma response both on an individiual and social level

part two any day now are u ready

Calling all horror content creators 👻 I just launched the demo for Shutter Story - a game about investigating haunted family photographs. Know anyone that would like streaming this? Tag them here! 🙂 #screenshotsaturday

It's cool how we keep proving over and over and over again that there's a significant market for narrative-heavy, character-driven, single-player experiences in video games and publishers just categorically refuse to believe us

lol

One of the most meaningful moments I recall when I was desperate for literally anything to cling to during Trump 1.0 was the emergence of Teen Vogue as a destination for anti-fascist coverage. It was so surprising that it became a popular joke, indeed an in-joke, that TV was such a destination.

had partridges and mixed wild game for halloween dinner 👻

For Halloween I've published Part I of a new two-part horror story unlike anything I've ever put online before. It's violent, gross and sexually explicit about organ meats, among other things. Read at your own risk, or don't! medium.com/@leighalexan...

One of my favorites playing one of my favorites ?!?!

i suck the marrow out of bones

our indie game: - hand drawn by Celeste's pixel artist - music by Disasterpeace - a slow-burning horror RPG - meet (or date) 10+ charming characters - fast-paced combat - customize your playstyle with crafted items and combat abilities - build a new life on a remote island

Dodonpachi (1995, CAVE)

i completely completely agree with this -- some people have to consider all of these things and some don't, simple as that. just the question of who has to do their hair for zoom and who doesn't is extremely deep

“sorry no camera today” (actually no camera ever for what you’re paying me, masking costs extra)

need one of these accident signs except it counts how long I can go without posting a threaded social media rant. god almighty

me: oh sweet Ethel Cain is the artist in residence on bbc 6 tonight I’m gonna vibe out and get so much writing done Ethel Cain: hi. here’s some death grips

nobody with any creative control or financial power in the commercial games industry has any fucking idea what people like anymore

what are we doing these days to get illustrations and photos for things when we barely have any money or time? do i really have to subscribe on shutterstock or is there something more direct-to-artist??

bitter day for one of the babies in Baby Trading Simulator--they peaked on the reality TV survival island their fame-obsessed parents sent them to as a baby and progressively both lost rights to their work and succumbed to the buzzfilter addiction they picked up coping from the stress damn

making people answer for problematic past posts is always always disingenuous fascist bootlicker behavior

Spin Kick 'Nightmare Creatures' PlayStation

man who tried to slash social security spending promises communism is coming if you just ignore the enormous job losses this year due to the technology he's developing for private profit

We are living in a golden age for losers.

one of the reasons I don’t really like to get into even silly sounding conspiracy theories is that the answer to “fun conspiracy or antisemitism” is almost always “antisemitism” it is the ugly ur-conspiracy at the bottom of most of these rabbit holes

how come random cartoon frogs are repeatedly of political relevance

there's also the fact that people now participate differently in culture and community depending on whether they are on or offline

we strongly suggests staring into the abyss for at least twelve minutes whenever you hear the hourly ding. or just whenever

to me, Doing is a knife that must be continually honed, however small the grind wheel available to you is, because to me it's not about how sharp the knife actually is it's about the process of honing itself. if you are Doing then you are living. there are always opportunities to Do if you seek them
