hello I'm turning 26 in a week. This means I'll be losing my insurance at the end of the month. I know the job market's pretty grim in general, but does anyone have any leads on a job? Willing to relocate out of the US.

of course, every album since dedicated has secretly been a double album. so are we getting a quadruple album this time or...?

Going to be fully transparent that this is critical to me keeping my housing. I feel like asking for mutual aid to the tune of $2,500 is a lot, but I’m in a real emergency and I’ve exhausted a lot of other avenues in my region and city. Things are desperate right now: that’s why I’m asking for help.

good morning!

Got something that's been bugging for a while (25 years!!) off my chest for @thelineofbestfit.com There are musical revolutions bigger than punk and acid house happening in front of our eyes and the culture press just shrugs.

if you visit a coffee shop for a $6 latte every single morning and never tip, the baristas have the legal right to guillotine you in the middle of the shop btw

IGN lays off tech workers following Summer Game Fest, where pro-union messages were erased aftermath.site/ign-summer-gam...

It's true: we're organizing a games industry hardship fund! This is the kind of mutual aid that can happen when workers get organized, too. And we've got a lot of irons in the fire 💅

1/3 of the game industry has lost their job in the last two years. Ubisoft closed two more studios today. Everyone is out of work. To that end I'm starting a new bundle to benefit a layoffs hardship fund. Game devs: please consider submitting your PAID games to the bundle, which will launch in July.

delighted that my interview w @lucasimmanuel.bsky.social got in here alongside so much wonderful writing!

rent got paid but it’s gonna be slim until a few checks come in. if anyone needs any audio or video work done for the next week plus, my rates are quite flexible.

By sheer force of coincidence, Blanksword happens to be hiring a programmer right as Pride Month kicks in! Come work with us on the hottest landlord-punching simulator out there <3 www.workwithindies.com/careers/blan...

We don’t typically do political endorsements, but desperate times, etc.

It's pride month. You should support small time videogame criticism from the margins, especially if said website is ran by a trans woman. Ahem, anyways, please consider donating or subscribing to Stop Caring www.stopcar.ing#/portal/supp... www.stopcar.ing

gotta be honest "fix your hearts or die" doesn't hit as hard when you actually watch the series and it turns out that he says it in response to denise telling him to not be lecherous around younger women

Queer Games bundles are one of the best ways to directly support LGBTQIA+ gamedevs throughout Pride month I'm not in this one, but there are some incredible titles, made by amazing folks who are creating real art & experiences with very little media support Link-thru also goes to a $10/PWYC bundle

new interview up! i talked with @lucasimmanuel.bsky.social for @48hills.bsky.social about the remake of the end of the greatest rpg of all time (which is out today!). this was a really fun conversation about how and why someone would make games. check it out:

"Some months ago, I was lurking online when I stumbled across a game called 'The Remake of the End of the Greatest RPG of All Time,'" writes @humblepopstar.bsky.social. "With a name like that, how could I not be intrigued?"

For those who checked out our Rockstar Game Workers Union talk last Saturday, they've just publicly launched their union with a brand new video and socials. You can support them by donating to their legal fund: actionnetwork.org/fundraising/... And if you work at Rockstar, you can join the union!

we are struggling still thanks to your help we have scraped through the first month mostly now june has begun to loom as it will do, and the emergency cycle has begun to warm back up still need to attend to the gofundme, sincerely thank each of you, and to write another update it's hard for me 😵‍💫

Within the next two days I have to find a new place to stay and also raise enough money to travel to see my neurologist who will hopefully figure out why I have all these seizures and why I’m losing my eyesight. This is all so expensive. If anyone can help it is appreciated. Thank you.
