Alright @linuxkernel.bsky.social it’s finally happening :) I went with Mint because I want the transition to be relatively painless.

This. Seeing some of Canada's best indies have to go up against (and lose to) Dragon Age in many categories at the last Canadian Game Awards was crushing. Yes, Dragon Age was also made by Canadians, but it was made by hundreds if not thousands of people unlike say Balatro, Venba, or Lil' Guardsman.

@thehandeyesociety.bsky.social is happy to be on the jury for category two!

Congratulations! On the launch :) (I don’t know why I punctuated like that, I just woke up, I am still dum.)

I feel like we have the opportunity to turn David Lynch's quote into this moment's "Keep Calm and Carry On" and it's a far better rallying cry too.

Proud of the team at @thehandeyesociety.bsky.social for putting on such interesting & community-focused events ❤️🕹️🎮

I crocheted Patti Smith’s Horses cover

As pointed out in the comments below this post. The survey is far from perfect nice of them to ask though.

Have you seen the ‘girly’ casino app ads on YouTube yet? They are peak ‘we’ve got gendered marketing on lock’.

Reflections from David Lynch that sum up my feelings on the last day of Gamescom. Glad I came to remember what I love about making video games.

Saying it from my whole chest.

This is one that I learned in art school but I think it applies to indie as well: don’t ask for feedback at the time you feel most unsure of the project. If you are out of your comfort zone, it is a time to listen to intuition not other people.

I forgot about the part about social media commentary where watching pundits say jackhole things in real time is infuriating. Especially right before my beddy by time.

Counter argument, many of societies laws & norms prefer overtly anti-social behaviour over the uncomfortable experience of watching groups of people expressing mismatched values through public actions. See ‘the entirety of the civil rights movement’ for examples.

I’m going to go out on a limb and say this is ‘news’. Getting thirsty for your next ‘MEC mannequin’ aesthetics boss is not the winning strategy you think it is Liberal establishment.
