I think trans people are cool and I wish we lived in a society where they could relax and live their lives without the most uncool people on the planet constantly getting up in their business, just my two cents

I'm happy to announce that Elfie: A Sand Plan will be part of the @gdocexpo.com Steam Showcase! The event starts September 16! Just a few days away!! ✨🐘✨ #IndieGame #GameDev #GDoCExpo2025

We need more games and internet journalists. And also more trans journalists. And also more journalists. aftermath.site/tyler-robins...

The more time I spend on a piece of music, the more stuff I remove from it. At this rate there’ll be almost no notes left in what I’m working on atm✨ But silence is underrated, so 4’33’’ plagiarism strike lets gooo

New hair, new shakuhachi video! Still not been a year since I started, and I’m honestly pretty proud of how far I’ve gotten so far✨

over the last year or so i've been getting more comfortable with using my voice in my music and i really love how much life even the simplest vocals can bring to a track!! here is a lil sketch of something i've been playing around with this afternoon for Mythmatch 🎙️🏹 #gameaudio #indiedev

GAiN is excited to welcome @noknok.bsky.social to GACO 2025! The indie audio duo will share how they crafted the charming, viral sounds of the hit game Tiny Glade. Learn how they found the perfect vibe for their project! #GameAudio #GACO2025 #IndieDev @lydmartin.bsky.social @odaodaoda.bsky.social

love the installations in the forest at Ekeberg 🧡 overheard a girl asking her mom how to make this piece, kids being curious about making weird art makes me happy

this iconic advertising copywriter named Kathy Hepinstall Parks died over the weekend and I wanted to share something from her website I thought Bluesky would like

is AI real life is it just fantasy caught up in the hype no escape from reality

As @gregpak.net has noted, unless there was a specific clause in all the contracts that allows for this, they can't go back and retroactively amend contracts without the author's consent. This is a class action suit waiting to happen.

Everyone from Gaza losing their accounts after Bluesky got mad about people asking to stop the deletion of Palestinian accounts and hiding those posts is just top class petulant baby moderation

itch.io has been nothing but supportive of LGBTQ+ work since the beginning. it pains me to see the community turn on them like this and so gleefully spread misinformation about them without even giving them a shred of benefit of the doubt. journalists too...

friends we are trying to raise 1700 Euros more in the next two weeks (latest date) so I can cover August rent, and use rest of the money for bills, and preparations to leave Germany for good by October. I appreciate any amount, and sharing with your circles.

UK folks - reiterating that it's super important that you download Wikipedia for offline use like now-ish if you want to guarantee you can keep having that incredible resource!! www.howtogeek.com/260023/how-t...

AI 👏🏻 IS 👏🏻 JUST 👏🏻 A 👏🏻 MARKETING 👏🏻 TERM remember that: - there is nothing "intelligent" about it - it comes at the cost of people's livelihoods and damages vulnerable communities - genAI hurts the environment the easiest way to help stop it is to simply not use it 🫡

日本のゲームに登場するセクシュアル・マイノリティ（LGBTQ+）のキャラクターを作品ごとにリストにしてみました（整理中なので後々追記で増えます）。公式設定とは限らず、解釈の余地があるキャラ、アイコンとしてファンに親しまれているキャラもあります。LGBTQコミュニティには大のゲーマーも多いです（クィアなゲーマーは「gaymers」というスラングで呼ばれたりもするほど）。しかし、日本のメディアではそういう一面を紹介することがあまりないので、今回はまとめてみることにしました。皆さんの好きなゲームのLGBTQキャラは何ですか？ cinemandrake.com/lgbtq-game-c...

i'm a bit stunned to announce i wrote music for the riot's new teamfight tactics season! check it out wherever you stream music 💥👊

Itch and Steam got a bunch of us thinking; we need a catalogue where creative (esp. NSFW & Queer) works are less vulnerable to censorship. A storefront we won't be delisted from. One giving us the autonomy to sell our stuff our way. So we're making Conjured Ink. You can join us. https://conjured.ink

Been working on the game all year, can't wait for more players to get their hands on it soon. No Ai No Publisher No Microtransactions Just a different kinda game made by a couple of people store.steampowered.com/app/3465190/...

chasing ghosts

Damn you mean itch didn’t actually just abandon these creators but has been working hard with its limited resources to figure out how to continue supporting them? How surprising

A key point in Fahrenheit 451 is that books were banned because they made people depressed and uncomfortable. The novel's protagonist, Montag, is taken into custody after he reads a poem that makes a woman cry because she realizes the emptiness of her life.

It was a unique experience!

Stop deleting Palestinian accounts during a blockade and a deliberately engineered famine by occupier Israel that is affecting the entire surviving population of occupied Palestine's Gaza Strip, @bsky.app @moderation.bsky.app @support.bsky.team

weekend reminder for everyone to at least fill out the online form! (it's available to those outside US & UK) !! we lose so much from this blanket ban on NSFW content, sex workers are pioneers of many spaces and has enabled so much self-fulfillment & entertainment in SFW spaces

Regarding the adult themed games crackdown: The Dutch Game Association has flagged this issue with the European Games Developer Federation as we believe we can have a bigger impact on a European level. However, I still strongly recommend you also bring up the issue with your local association.

As a gamedev this is a dangerous sign of how facism is weazeling its way into everything in our lifes. Support Sex Workers AND Indies. Fuck puritanism.

I'm working on a GamesIndustry.biz article about the Steam and Itch content crackdowns, and I'd love to hear from someone in a country where payment options online are limited. If you're reliant on PayPal or another highly specific processor to get hold of games, please get in touch!

So happy that Viewfinder will be available on more platforms soon! The creativity and genius required to get it to work on Switch though? Like, how?

Many of you still don't get how these Gaza fundraisers came about & that they are more about you than about Palestinians in Gaza. I keep explaining this in every podcast I've been on lately...but let me write a thread as well: These fundraisers exist to snuff out your relationship with Palestinians

I wanna go to Vancouver for a month next year. Need to make it happen

Not even joking we gotta make this and esports betting illegal

OKAY HERE IT IS A BRIEF HISTORY OF LABOR IN THE USA AND WHAT IT HAS TO DO WITH THE MODERN GAMES INDUSTRY youtu.be/OmV1QTzfyRo?...
