How dare

Not to be unkind, but I am so impatient about the “what’s the point of making my little zines/comics/crafts/art when the world is on fire” sentiments. I get it, but saving the world is not a responsibility shouldered by your art! That’s what being a neighbor, a friend, and hell, a citizen is for!!!

I spent the last few days watching The Pitt and I will never ever ever feel stressed out about my silly video game job ever again

THIS IS JOYFUL, WOW

Knives Out

"instead of typing it out" .......they'll what? Beam it into the entry field via telepathic link? FFS.

One upside of AI is that human art feels more valuable, whimsical, and transcendent than ever before. I'm in awe watching the craft on display in old movies; I'm ultra-charmed by hand-drawn doodles. Everything human feels more precious and personal, and every artist is a treasure.

Uninstall Even if you "don't use the skin" or "will kill anyone using the skin on sight", playing the game is allowing kickback to JK Rowling in one way or another Make this licensing deal wholly not worth it I know it sucks to give up a game you like to play but if enough ppl do it,

I want to say something encouraging or at least not despairing about the layoffs at Eidos during the holidays but, lord, we are in a SEA of it. If there's anyone who's looking, we've got some open roles for DDV and our forthcoming Dungeons and Dragons project! www.gameloft.com/jobs?locatio...

Me: wow, seems like Dickens was a little manic when he wrote A Christmas Carol Wikipedia: he needed money and he wrote it in six weeks and he sorted out his story ideas by walking marathons around London also people mentioned he would laugh and cry as he wrote Me: ah

Our new DLC launches TODAY! It's got horses! It's got magic! It's got BEES!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I can't believe it took me this long to discover Little Shop of Horrors. The puppetry of Audrey II looks so good it felt like I was losing my mind, and the Menken/Ashman music duo?! PHEEEEEEEEEW, I'm obsessed.

Remember when Spider-Man 2 for PS5 came out and people realized the NPCs on the street all had dialogue with each other that you could eavesdrop on and then players in. A. SPIDER-MAN. Game. Took time out of swinging above the city just to follow people around on the street and listen to them? 🤔

As a biologist, It really is a great analogy. Also trees. It's like saying, "There are trees and grass, you have to be one or the other." Ok... where is the line that defines "is a tree?" what about bush-like grasses? Palm trees? NON-tree palms? What about horsetails and their tree-like ancestors?

Nothing pulls me back into listening to musicals like a talented performer absolutely belting their guts out. That kind of talent gets me every time, right in the goosebumps department.

Something I learned from a playwriting class: write the review before you start working on it. Create the great review you want your project to get (imagine it’s by someone who Gets It) once it’s launched, and you’ll quickly tease out what the themes are, what’s important to you, and what isn’t.

“they’re shoving gay stuff into the story for no reason! checking boxes!!!!” my brother in lilith, every queer writer you know can name off the top of their head a movie, book, game, or tv show where the plot + character arcs would’ve made WAY more sense if they’d just let them be gay

Make art with your friends. Organize an underground show. Buy tapes and zines from friends and strangers. Support each other. Culture is made by regular people living their lives and finding ways to connect, and capitalists can never own that.

Spite-creating bad art as a reaction to fury against AI art 👌

Sage advice. Consider who you’re excluding. Have the courage to exclude someone else.

Canada Post is on strike again, so reminder:

Wolverine news 🙀

Go make something rad today. Go learn something new today. Go tell someone you love them today. Get on the dance floor of life and flex all your moves. The fascist can never move like you can. Never love like you can. Never see the future you will create. Be happy, be loved, be human.

Gonna go even further: don't refer to it as "consuming media" when doing this. You aren't a consumer - it's not a product. You read books. You look at art. You watch movies and/or videos. Be careful about word choice. Reject "consume" and REJECT "CONTENT." IT IS ART. YOU ARE ENGAGING WITH ART.

My mom called me last night about the Kimmel firing, saying "This is how Hitler got started!" I quickly responded, "By firing the late night tv hosts?" Turns out, mom was right.

you: what are we having for dinner game designer: great question. i wrote some pillars to help us align on a good outcome here. you, reading: wait, this pillar is just "food must be edible," that seems pretty vague game designer: ah, that's where the secondary pillars about Edibility come into play
