Don't fight them. They want us to fight them. They want to troll us. They came over here because they're sad they can't taunt us. Nothing will make them more angry than becoming the most blocked account on this site and hearing the wind whistle by as we consign them to invisibility.
You have to block them immediately. The full nuclear. They are only here to make folks angry, and that can’t happen if we lock them out.

I love the Mercenary Librarians series so much.
I can not express how On The Nose Dance with the Devil feels these days, but hey, if you didn't know we wrote a trilogy about ladies with superpowers who are also community organizers trying to build a library in between fighting an evil tech company...

Good night, everyone. It feels like our so-called "leaders" have all but abandoned us, but we still have each other. I didn't know what else to do, so I made a little painting. Stay safe out there 💛

I just saw someone yell “they’re just using it to generate ideas!”
And
I hate to say it
But if you work in the ART DEPARTMENT and you need a death machine stuffed with your colleagues’ work to give you ideas
Quit.

Most of us did not choose to write or draw or design so that we could put products on the shelf. We chose to do it because it’s a set of skills we enjoy exercising, that give us fulfillment.
It’s like asking a pro pitcher to just let a machine pitch for them. Fuck off and give me the ball.

Larian's horrible hirring process is an open secret in the industry – insane amounts of unpaid work in "writing tests", excessive numbers of interviews, months and months of back and forth, etc. Everyone in games narrative circles has heard the stories at this point, probably from multiple people.
I know this because they tried to recruit me and I strongly considered it but they’re also a “do an unpaid writing test where you have to also make it playable” company so that’s not something I vibe with

Art is as much the process as it is the result. When you poison the former, you poison the latter.
Reference isn't just "look at a similar thing." It's resonance, emotion, and inspiration. You will never get that from the Slop Machine.

If you need a measles jab in the US and can't afford one, hit up Bree's replies. There are people in there volunteering to cover someone else's shot in the name of Fuck Measles.
I got my titers checked in May, and I'm good. If you're not sure, go get yer jabs!

If you are worried this is too big an executive function barrier you can go to a pharmacy and they will probably just jab you. That is what I did.
I'm not saying it's necessarily the right way to do this, that is just how much I am not fucking around with the measles

Go to your doctor and get your measles titers checked to make sure you are still immune and if not get re-vaccinated. It’s more and more likely all of us are going to eventually come in contact with it.

Gamedevs don’t get enough appreciation for what they do, and often the biggest impact comes from people the public never hears about.
Which gamedevs would YOU give an award to, and for what?

Any answer I could give would only be a guess, but I'm curious. Maybe @missfire.bsky.social has an answer?
friends who work in video games-- is there a practical reason (like difficulty to put into the game) why players can't have the option to put subtitles on either the top or bottom of the screen?
i've always found bottom of the screen pulls my attention from the graphics, but i accept if its a pain
