I backed Perfect Tides: Station to Station when it was on Kickstarter and seeing it finally release and becoming one of my favorite games of the year has become quite a journey. Get it on Steam if you haven't already!

As someone who has made more new friends in their 30s than they ever thought possible, it's been through: - hobby groups - Discord servers - parties - workshops - political advocacy groups No magic bullet but the key thing is start with a group meeting locally that's about something you love.

this doesn't even have the full context which makes it funnier

Wait, wait, wait, WAIT. So we are now doing the "bUt eCoNoMic AnXieTy!" excuses no longer for justifying racism & white supremacy but now transphobia?! Fuck off.

I am lucky to have a lot of support in my life but one thing I do not have, and have not had since October, is regular income. I have so many things in progress, and applications out, to try to make ends meet but it's hard as fuck out there and nothing moves fast enough. PP: @StellaSacco CA: #$SACC

Trans people and their right to life are not a political distraction. Period. Here’s a booklist of comics by trans creators/featuring trans and GNC characters and stories. Please support trans comic creators (and all trans ppl), now more than ever!! bookshop.org/lists/trans-...

If you are trans and are raising money for your own needs, post the link below and I will share. If you are cis, choose one to donate to and share this thread.

if you're cis you have a moral imperative to give a trans woman money today. doesn't matter who. just pick one from your timeline, there's like a 90% chance they've got a gofundme linked on their page.

While everyone's "all the love to trans folks" posts are nice and it is good to see support We have been getting them for a decade now. If you want to support trans folks, hire us. Support GFMs and asks for mutual aid. Put yourself between trans folks in public if you see harassment.

Microsoft makes basically infinite money and Xbox as a division is a rounding error for them. They don't have to close studios and lay people off because they're short on cash and have to make hard calls, so don't buy this "woe is us" sob story. It is a choice. They are *choosing* to do this.

No one can say this country on an institutional level doesn't want all trans people dead now. Not after today. So if you're not trans & you care, hug your trans friends & get to work. If you're trans, I love you. But this fight isn't over. Not by a fucking longshot.

And nobody cares except us. I’m on like six unemployed black woman listservs, where everyone’s freaking out, and nobody’s like “I’m running on trying to get y’all jobs.” It’s like we’re being erased from American society.

In the most literal sense, this took me 30 seconds. Please do this right now. Do not put it off.

KARL: Rs are gonna make you the poster child for the D Party MAMDANI: Let them. We don't have to ask ourselves what life looks like if a socialist wins. I won last year & over the course of the last 6 months what we've delivered for working people are the very things we were told were impossible.

I do this all the time. Also this is the second step of “don’t comply in advance.”

The first Afro Game Showcase is now on YouTube. 20+ games. One show that felt like something new. The first reactions have been moving. It means the world to us, and even more to the dev teams. Thank you. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Phw6...

BREAKING NYT: A New York City panel just voted to freeze rents for nearly one million rent-stabilized apartments — fulfilling one of Mayor Zohran Mamdani's key campaign promises and handing the mayor a major policy win six months into his tenure.

Our games industry is people. Our studios are people. Our teams people, our games by people for people. Our games are made by people, in groups of people, in teams of people, making people things for people. The magic is people, and the people deserve so much better than all this. I am so sorry.

Well, I've been affected by the Bungie layoffs, and I guess I'm now looking for work. I'm a senior narrative designer on Destiny 2. I'm going to thread a little list of stuff I've done on the game; normally I go out of my way to avoid attention, but today I'd appreciate reposts.

We all deserved so much better than this.

Tonight we're streaming 20+ game trailers from: Nigeria, Kenya, Madagascar, South Africa, Zambia, Brasil... All in one liveshow. On YouTube. 9PM Paris / 8PM Dakar / 10PM Nairobi This is the first Afro Game Showcase and it deserves to be seen. And applauded. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Phw6...

Filmmakers, on their hands and knees: Please just fund our projects and pay us a living wage. Studios: How about more AI slop instead? 👉👈

Repost the Leather Dachshund from Seattle Pride 1991 to be blessed this Pride Month!

I got serious in this.

60% drop in reviews if people even smell AI on your game - full supports the investors, developers, and publishers that took a hard "no gen-AI" stance, despite grifters' proclamations that they were "going to be left behind".

✨JUNETEENTH MUTUAL AID THREAD ✨ Here’s a thread with Black folks you can support in celebration of #Juneteenth. Do some good - even if you’re sending $3 to a Black person to treat themselves to a dessert or a coffee! Circulate & give to at least one person in the thread if you have the means 💜

Today is a good day to celebrate and support Black creators! If you are a Black creator, especially in the nerd space, please consider posting what you do below and also how we can buy it or support it, if possible!

So for this Juneteenth, I went back and updated my feature on the need to incorporate more Blackness into your gaming perspective, more relevant now than when I wrote it years ago. Check it out on @pcmag.com www.pcmag.com/opinions/cel...

Happy Juneteenth! If you're looking for something cool to play today to support a black business in the U.S., check out some of my games. - Studio is Black-owned - Black characters - Black Voice Actors And racist trolls hate us ♥️ linktr.ee/aerial_knight

I try and keep my nose clean and not trash talk other folks in comics, it is unprofessional. But I am also a proud trans woman. And John Byrne has a long, repeated history of disgusting transphobic statements on the very personal forum where he posted these comics that are now being collected.

That's right.

Literally every NSFW artist or indie gamedev must know about this

Millions of copyrighted songs were fed to AI music generators - now there's proof Suno and rivals are being sued for $150k per song. A sum that would bankrupt these companies and set an important precedent.

Seeing the Peter Serafinowicz Harry Potter announcement just made me think, once again, about this excellent James Acaster bit from Off Menu.

Hey, are you employed and upset about what's happening to your game dev friends but your company doesn't have any openings? GO BUY AN INDIE GAME FROM YOUR WISHLIST. That's the only way to save the industry.

i think what saddens me the most about all these studios closing is looking at Silksong and Mina the Hollower the real magic happens when a team stays together for years and you can grow your skills and evolve instead of destroying the medium for shareholder yacht #3847

HOLY SHIT WE FUNDED IN UNDER AN HOUR!!!!! I am so emotional rn. ON TO STRETCH GOALS Y’ALL!!!!! #Monsterhearts #IndieDev #VisualNovel #BackerKit Back it here! ⬇️

Between Microsoft contributing to the Palestinian genocide, the constant increase of gen AI bullshit, and the layoffs/shuttering of studios, how can anyone support Microsoft/Xbox at this point? Anyway, play South of Midnight, Kiln and all the small games Microsoft loves to tout and hates to fund.

The Knicks only lost one game in the last two months and it was the one Trump went to lmao
