Not much to say about Trans Day of Remembrance anymore besides “try loving and celebrating us while we are alive”

Today is the day to tell a strange story. The long version we'll tell later, but the short version is this. In an attic, in his late great-uncle's house, @jon.inkle.co found a locked trunk. It took twenty years to open. Last summer he did. Inside was a wiring diagram, and a stack of books.

Some good work @pattonoswalt.bsky.social appreciate you using your voice to stand up for folks.

Criminally overlooked this year and during GOTY discussions.

I’ve had the privilege of being the Creative/Narrative Director on SLS’s latest game Red Rain! It’s been one of the most challenging yet meaningful experiences I’ve ever had, and I’m endlessly grateful to the incredible team who are bringing it to life. It’d mean the world if you gave it a wishlist❤️

have yall checked out dispatch yet? i kinda sorta narrative designed on it so it'd be rad if you could give us a lil vote 👉👈

Hey! I'm leading programing/technical narrative teams on this. Might start showing the process in the coming weeks as we work on polish, since it's been a bit unusual. 👀 We used the @solarus-games.org engine. Also everyone working on the game is crazy cool, and you should follow them!

Small Loan is doing great stuff in the games space. I’m doing some QA/bug squashing for Red Rain, and the story is gripping and emotional. Definitely add it to your wishlist.

I wrote some words for this game!! It's really special and I'm so excited for folks to play it ❤️

Genocide isn’t over. Boycott Israel. Divest from Israel. Sanction Israel. Stand for Palestinian liberation.

Don't forget.

I just heard a child say 67 for the first time. Felt like seeing an animal in the wild that I’d only ever seen in zoos

Alice Wong was everything a human being should be: brilliant and creative and outspoken and courageous and compassionate all of her work will live on, but there is a special place in my heart for her memoir Year of the Tiger www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/688504...

3 years ago today, Riot Games offered me a job making more money than I ever thought I’d make in my life. I had 19 interviews over 2.5 months to get it. Partner and I were moving to LA for it. I put in notice at my job and apartment. 2 weeks later they rescinded the offer due to “headcount issues”.

steam is apparently allowing "this game had AI in it that it didn't disclose" as a valid return statement, so if you or anyone you know actually paid $70 for slop, get that money back

Curious Georg, who lives with the Man with the Yellow Hat & investigates over 10,000 new things each day, is an outlier adn should not have been counted.

Please read this in the gentlest possible voice but we HAVE to divest from mil-sims as gamedevs. Even before this AI bullshit in the latest Black Ops, these games have done so much harm and contributed massively to the dehumanization of several populations worldwide. It’s US foreign pol propaganda.

I would argue the new addition to the boomer meme board at my day job doesn’t even count as a meme

📣 SENIOR(ISH) GAME WRITERS 📣 The folks at GDC have reached out to me about heading up a narrative portfolio review workshop. Are you planning on going to GDC this year and would be down to review some portfolios? HMU!

i'm so excited. indie games are just so cool, man

Friendly reminder to wishlist Letter Lost! It's SUCH a delight to write for and I'm so excited for everyone to experience it 🥰 store.steampowered.com/app/3624790/...

Hi everyone, I'm urgently looking for any work. I'm a writer and narrative designer, I offer game consultations and mock reviews, I localise between German and English, I can write copy. If it needs words, I'll do it! Here's some games I've written on in the past:

If you were a member of The Game Awards Future Class and can speak to your experience, I want to chat with you for The Guardian! DM me, or email alyssamerc[at]gmail[dot]com. Signal boost please!

never a good time to join the chorus of the unemployed but my current only contract is wrapping up SOON! 🥹 if you need an experienced community or socials person who is connected to online spaces/fandom and creates welcoming and fun communities, I’m your guy! 🙏❣️

[PLEASE RT] If you worked on an aid bundle on itch.io could you please reply? @spritewrench.com and I are hopefully going to start working on one for Jamaica after Hurricane Melissa! (Also if you're interested in adding your game, reply as well!)

I really love writing video games 💖

At my day job there's a group of ladies in the waiting room talking about all kinds of wholesome things such as how pets definitely go to heaven and one of them was like "Well, of course. Everything has a soul." Long pause. "Except my neighbor."

good morning specifically to the FBI agent who introduced Mamdani’s dad to Marx

now that’s what I call baby

I like when the game has story in it

Unfortunately I suspect as union activity gains momentum and popular support in this broken industry we will continue to see studios ramp up their union busting efforts. Be smart: practice good infosec, read up on typical union-busting tactics, and most importantly: don’t let them scare you.
