Zohran Mamdani proves that proudly and genuinely standing up for trans people (along with all other oppressed and downtrodden groups) is not just morally necessary, but a winning strategy

Gamedev friends, this is more proof that we are not to blame for the current state of our industry. These are the same executives that follow every trend blindly and ignorantly. Aggressive MTX, everything is a live service, DRM that only punish paying players, NFTs, and now AI. What a shitshow.

Mosey on over to the latest Bounty Star patch notes and you'll find gameplay, quality of life, and performance improvements as well as a whole slew of fixes. steamcommunity.com/app/1497430/...

From the mech cockpit to crops - fight, farm, and forge a new life - Bounty Star is Out Now Pick it up today: bit.ly/BountyStar

Only 3 days left until Bounty Star drops. What's your dream mech loadout?

TWO DAYS LEFT to get this funded, gang! Math-wise: If 3,000 of y'all back with $5.00 each, it's funded. And I know there's more than 3,000 of y'all out there. Here's the list of top-level creators on this comic, including yours truly! It'll make you feel better than doomscrolling!

I get it but I really dislike the "the political climate is tense" phrasing the same way I don't like the "Gaza war" phrasing - we're foregoing that one side is people who want to live and the other side is people who have more power and both the means and intent to destroy and harm.

You would not believe how many stories like this have been popping up over the last ~5 years Not just full games cancelled—entire characters and plot lines removed or changed, leaving less time for making the *rest of the game better*, to try avoiding a small and malicious contingent of voices.

I'm once again an artist for @pals4palestine.bsky.social! You can commission me to draw OCs, fanart, etc. and the money goes to helping a Palestinian family! 🍉

Seems like a bad time to post this but is there ever a good time? Just putting it out there that my current contract ends in the middle of November and I'll once again be looking for work as a character rigger/technical artist in games. I have a wealth of experience. 13+ years. Remote only please❤️

A lot of people assume that Amsterdam has been biketopia since time immemorial but it actually was car hell for decades before the citizens became fed up with car fatalities and forced the government to rebuild everything around mass transit and bikes. It took time and will, but they did it.

I got to work on this game! Kid me would go nuts seeing a JP reference with characters I had a hand in bringing to life. Go wishlist it and check it out next month!!

25 Years Ago yesterday, the animated series STATIC SHOCK hit the airwaves, introducing the Milestone Comics hero to the world. When I wrote THE SHADOW CABINET, one of the moments I knew had to be in the book was to have the comic book version say the line the animated version became known for.

Phenomenal write-up of Palestinian Voices in Games by @rockpapershotgun.bsky.social. Still very proud to be supporting the initiative, and happy to see attention for it. If you want to help out, check out the link via the article! www.rockpapershotgun.com/creators-of-...

THE DEMO IS OUT! In a near future where museums twist loopholes to keep stolen history, this game centers on 70 artifacts. Each one is inspired by real items of real cultural significance taken from African nations. Our stories matter. Their return matters. #wishlistwednesday #blackvoicesingaming

Only 4 days left before the Play for Peace: Games for Palestine charity bundle sale ends, and about $8,000USD away from hitting $100k USD. Please RT and help push this as far and to as many people as possible for this last stretch. Link: itch.io/b/2979/play-...

Writer friends: you can find out if your work is in the Anthropic clusterfuck by using the search tool provided in this article from the Atlantic:

Join us on September 7 for a Craft Fair Fundraiser for Gaza. Proceeds will support mutual aid projects in Gaza. If you would like to table at the fair, you can fill out this application by 8/22: forms.gle/s7A5yZ21UpJx...

For the price of one AAA game you can get ELEVENTY bonkers games that have and will continue to make more of an impact on art, culture, and the wider world than any given Halo But you don't have to take my word for it 🌈✨💕

So good to see Arkane's workers push for this! Also a great example of one of the core benefits of unionization, which is just "creating a structure for discussion and systems to make collective decisions." Always much harder to get action at scale like this if there isn't already organization.

A small group of us is planning a craft fair fundraiser for Gaza on September 7. Some of you have already generously reached out to offer a craft to us to sell at the fundraiser. We now have a form with details for anyone who wants to contribute a craft: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F... - thank you.

Just backed this and really, really want it to be fully funded!!!! This is a steal of a deal for work from incredible creators. @stephwilliams.bsky.social

I'm going to be doing a technical breakdown of this character, its rendering, etc. over the next couple of weeks, but here's the question: What should I cover first? This will be a written breakdown with lots of images rather than a video, if that makes a difference.
