I'm obsessed with the scene in Unbeatable that so perfectly captures the exhaustion of being a creative in a world hell-bent on stifling creativity

Signed up for a general tech class (woodshop and electronics and stuff) in high school. Thought about going into woodworking!
Was able to take a coding class the following semester because of the tech credit, quickly found out my brain was built for it and I fell in love with making little games!

Billionaires don't need more yachts, but an increase to the royalty rate on Steam would be life-changing for many small indie devs.
Starting to think billionaires were a mistake.
Gabe Newell caps off Steam Machine week by taking delivery of a new $500 million superyacht with a submarine garage, on-board hospital and 15 gaming PCs
"We knew we were asking for unusual things," says Newell, "and Oceanco embraced it with open arms."

VALVE CEO: Hmm let's see... does anyone here know who's addicted to Valve products and buys weird hardware at the drop of a hat?
GAY INTERN: {quietly} Sir… I have to teach you a term right now…
CEO: Is it "Six Sigma"? Because I'm way ahead of you
INTERN: No, no… it's… "T4T"…

I remember when I was a student and being really excited for MIGS - it was a great time to see all sorts of talks and learn from amazing people! Easily one of the highlights of the year every time I went.
Now? I just don't think I could possibly justify going, not with that programming.

When we write or draw porn or erotica, we get banned from having a bank account and our livelihoods get seized even if we give it away for free.
When billionaires steal what we've written or drawn to churn out a slop-approximate of porn, they're allowed to charge for it.

How do I explain to offline people that my favorite Japanese mascot said "we can only be liberated from queer oppression if we are truly seen as human" and then started wielding fireworks like a rocket launcher on the side of a mountain without sounding like I've totally lost it?

Chiitan has a dream.
I hope that one day the term LGBT will become a thing of the past.
I will continue to spread my message until we live in a world where everyone can love freely and is free from persecution and discrimination.
Until then, let's all support each other🤍
