Not only have I somehow been a "superbacker", future projects of my own depend on KS - which means it depends on those that make it run and know what they need. Their demands are simple + make sense. I support them & hope to see an agreement reached that meets their demands quickly + respectfully.
Kickstarter United has voted to STRIKE! We are fighting for a 32 hour work week, livable wage for all workers, and protections against AI. Our Seattle members are organizing a rally alongside OPEIU 8. Join us on Thursday in Cal Anderson Park! forms.gle/udwphKvnZDVG...

Not enough people call the internet 'the information superhighway' anymore.
Sure maybe a bit of the sheen has worn off and it's full of bad actors, but we don't let crumbling, neglected infrastructure stop us from calling them highways in 'meatspace' (this is what some real cool guys call it)

Incredible aesthetic from the book “How To Win At ET The Video Game” - I played this weird and infamous Atari 2600 game as a kid, but this design is very much the kind of thing I love doing with video and print design for my own projects but better.

Only 14 of the 94 calls to action from the Truth and Reconciliation commission have been implemented.

Only 14 of the 94 Calls to Action have been implemented. Criminalizing residential school denialism is the only way forward
Grassroots work to implement Truth and Reconciliation is cause for optimism. But nothing can truly change if some people keep denying genocide

NHRL is fun and getting to watch for free on YouTube was always rad.
After a long 3-month break, NHRL is coming back on Saturday, and I have the sleepless nights to prove it! 😴
In the run-up to the event, we'll be re-running our Prime Time shows from the start of the year at 7 pm EDT.
Here's tonight's stream: www.youtube.com/live/eZ74sMh...

pitch for the next flavour-of-the-month multiplayer sensation: Controls and environment of "Baby Steps" but it's multiplayer capture the flag, with sword play like "Chivalry 2" (but simplified)
Feel free to make this and send me a key when it's a short lived hit.

Seems like every public sector + service is under attack in Canada/Ontario right now from Federal and Provincial gov't and corp interests, and I've never seen so many unions rightfully pissed at the same time. Now is a great time for them to work together and/or going general strike mode.

Me in like 1992 on video games: "Man it'd be so cool if we had these like... big open worlds that you could explore and play as the kind of person you want to in that world and interact with and influence everything and that the games last a long time so you could really live there awhile"

I finally watched this and it was fun and interesting.
The more recent "Skittle" is more a documentary about the subject, Aurora, the games they produced, the people who made them, and how they were made and marketed. I'm incredibly proud of this one.
