QA.

They face disrespect both within the industry and with audiences, and none of your favourite games would ship without them.
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?

Why are you polyamorous?

Wrong answers only:

I'm trapped In the infinite samsara of finding my lovers over and over in this life and the next... occasionally a new one sneaks in.
I like to have an assortment of delicious, hot stimming toys 😏
Why are you polyamorous?

Wrong answers only.

I'll begin:

I was told many times that I'm too much, so I figured it would need multiple people to make sure I'm just right for each of them.

Three things that I firmly believe:

1. Making games about anything that isn't a white/anglocentric narrative (or really any minority narrative at all) means you're doing ten times the lifting in establishing context and meaning for the juries and audiences.
On Games for Impact:

“It's good that it's there, but it's also, in a way, kind of insulting. Because giving a special award for a game for actually meaning something or having some human content... we should be aspiring for that in every category."

2. Following from 1, being a minority does not and should not mean you have to make games about being a minority or your identity because those stories are much harder to tell. You can if you want to, but don't feel like you have to. Make what you want to make, it'll have your fingerprints anyway.

3. These kind of "impact" awards primarily exist to create a comfortable bubble to stuff games in for usually overwhelmingly homogeneously white/anglophone judges that have no idea about any of the narratives or identities in games that were popular enough that they have to be considered somehow.

Just really sucks that so many of us are barely getting by (if that), and the people who stole from us are rewarded with billions. It's hard to put into words how demoralising that is.

I'm begging any artists still using Twitter claiming it's integral to their work to just leave. It's been revealed the site works off a made up "credit score" from hell and punishes you for posting like a normal human being.

Abandon Twitter for good. It's time. It's been time.

AI automation =/= AI generation. the scripts to automatically transcribe voice to text or whether your party character prioritizes Attack or Defense isn't the same as algorithms generating randomized results out of an amalgamation of existing data. conflating them is intentionally misleading.

A 5-month-old baby died, & 3 surviving children, ages 2, 4, & 5, had to be hospitalized with rickets, osteopenia, vitamin D deficiency, & significant developmental delays bc their parents put them on “alkaline diets.”

Anyone saying alkalization has health benefits is a murderous liar & a charlatan.
