Sometimes I think about the fact that the best artistic work is produced when the artist has everything they need to live comfortably.
Then I think about the fact no trans woman I know has that, and we're still out here producing the best and most creative stuff going.
Trans women are so powerful.

I went to meet the 'Rockstar 31', the developers who were suddenly fired from their work on GTA 6 for what the studio has described as gross misconduct.
That's not what the workers call it though. They have another couple of words they prefer to use: union busting.

Game design is simple, actually. Except when it isn't. Here are the 12 things you need to know.
Game design is simple, actually
So, let’s just walk through the whole thing, end to end. Here’s a twelve-step program for understanding game design. One: Fun There are a lot of things people call “fun.” But most of them are not useful for getting better at making games, which is usually why people read articles like this. The fun of a bit of confetti exploding in front of you, and the fun of excruciating pain and risk to life and limb as you free climb a cliff are just not usefully paired together.

I wore my glasses instead of contacts for the first time today in along time and my cat was Very Concerned.
Short meows as he sat in my desk sniffing around them. Relaxed when spoke to him . And I could see his little brain adding "don't worry, ugh, face clothes" to his stack.

I took brain meds early today, but the pain meds are not cutting it. This is why I'm being slightly spicy on main. Stuck in bed and angry about it.
I should just log off.

For the first time in more than 100 years, Chinook salmon have been spotted at the confluence of the Sprague and Williamson rivers in Chiloquin, the government seat of the Klamath Tribes in Southern Oregon.
Salmon clear last Klamath dams, reaching Williamson and Sprague rivers
Just a year after four dams were removed, a group of fall Chinook have migrated nearly 300 miles into the Upper Klamath Basin.

I gotta hand it to whatever advertising firm Informa hired to make these, there really is something almost poetic about GDC's advertising being "an AI-looking depiction of an industry staple being destroyed with no clear elaboration of what comes after." Masterclass in unintentionally nailing it.
