A plural system who makes video games (@happyfroggames.bsky.social). In our 20s, he/they pronouns please! (It's just kinda simpler for now.)

I'm gonna make an introductory post here too I suppose!

We're Computing Star, a bi ace spectrum (...it's complicated) plural system who makes video games, loves Mega Man as a series a lot, can't get enough of far too many old video games, and are furries. Among other things.

Have fun out there!

Just finished my game!! It's a small, 10-minute twin stick shooter called SCHÜT. Kill an exponential amount of enemy waves as you get showered with upgrades and try to reach the killscreen.

The best way journalists can support indie games is to cover more than whatever the current indie hits/darlings of the moment are. Games like Hades, Blue Prince, and Silksong do not need help with visibility, but discoverability is the biggest challenge facing many indie devs today.

🦝Steam said "no magical animals" and "no humanized animals" but yet their sale has them anyways?? so we're hosting a spite sale on itch only where you can get Blobun for a nice $6.99! See the forbidden walking talking animals Steam doesn't want you to see

His funeral has finally been set for the 15th. We will need the total by then.
My family has arranged a gofundme for my brother Kyle. If you can't donate anything, sharing it will mean the world to me. We do not have the funds on hand for his burial and funeral. He did not have any life insurance for us to help in paying.

Something worth noting: Rockstar is leaning HEAVILY on the excuse that the unionising employees were "leaking private company information"

They want people to assume this means game info or assets.

But I will bet you CASH MONEY this translates to:

'they were comparing salaries and work contracts"

Game company sows misinformation to cover up union busting, fans fall for it, actual employee posts explaining the employees were fired to prevent the studio unionizing

This is *unacceptable*
This wasn’t about leaking GTA VI.

It was:
Rockstar illegally firing union members to stop the studio from unionizing.

it directly contradicts Rockstar’s PR narrative and confirms almost everything that people suspected was going on.

I was a member of TGA Future Class 2022 and lemmee tell ya, my skin has been crawling since

pretty much every interaction I had with them (few) & story I heard about other members' interactions with them (many) was bad. & by bad I mean, so many shades of being used as photo op tokens & nothing more
EXCLUSIVE on @gamedeveloper.bsky.social: not only has The Game Awards not nominated a Future Class for 2025, it's told alumni it "does not have any active programming plans" for the award.

The Future Class page was taken down sometime this year—eliminating a definitive archive of honorees.
The Game Awards' Future Class program remains on ice
Future Class organizer Emily Weir has informed past honorees that The Game Awards has no active plans for the program.

Y'know, I'd ask people to back me up when I say there's something to Thanatos 3D that's oddly compelling for being so limited on a technical level, but that'd require there to be a chance above .01% that anybody else on BlueSky had played Thanatos 3D, or even heard of it before hearing of it from me

It's recently come to my attention that someone made a fake UZDoom website. DO NOT CLICK IT!

The only official website for UZDoom is ZDoom dot org and the ONLY official place to get future UZDoom downloads would be the official UZDoom Github page!

Stay safe out there y'all

So I have used this in a pinch, and I can 100% vouch for it.
It's not garbage food or forgotten orders, it's always fresh same-day food.
Most of the restaurants in my area make extra specifically for TGTG, and add coupons on full priced orders.

It's a great resource, and it cuts down on food waste.

Python was awarded a funding grant, funding grant asked Python foundation to remove all diversity and inclusion initiatives they have.

Python foundation said no and rejected the grant.

If you use Python, send a few dollars to the charity to keep it going. I’m pushing a dono on behalf of ScamGuard.

Yo! Post-BLFC I’m pretty emptied out here, and while I do have some private comm offerings, things are looking tight

Please support folks who are in more dire straits than me if the mood takes you, but any kindness folks are willing to share would help me cover the gap between paychecks 💛

Please contact your representatives about KOSA!

Phone calls, emails, letters, whatever option works best for you! But choose what works best and send a LOT of them until this legislation is put down!
🚨‼️As of yesterday KOSA is at 64 cosponsors with @vanhollen.senate.gov + @kim.senate.gov - who claim to support LGTBQ+ rights but are clearly okay with supporting legislation that’ll censor us off the internet- newly signed on.
