And for what it's worth, I am always open to questions from other consultants from would-be and newbie consultants, to helping those who had the same feeling I did all those years ago when I first started, watching others do the job I wanted and not knowing how I could get there.

My one takeaway from Mr. Keighley's annualized situation is this:

There is plenty of space for someone else to step in and do better.

We have this man so many opportunities to prove us wrong and he inevitably disappoints us again and again. The decision below proves that he doesn't care about people. He cares about profits.

The price of tickets, the sponsorships, the amount folks pay for trailers, features and more... So yeah
Apparently, Keighley doesn't have time to reply to @alyssamerc.bsky.social's request for comment, but he sure does have time to post about his latest business deal surrounding the awards on LinkedIn.

Just want you to know that when I asked Geoff why he gave the silent treatment to an open letter written by his own "future of games" program (& co-signed by 3000+ industry peers), he replied:

"Because that's my show and nobody gets to tell me how I should use my platform". 💀💀💀

I'm going to start putting together some free info and resources for indie game devs looking to self-publish. I see a lot of people making simple mistakes, and hear a lot about being overwhelmed by what they need to do.

Do folk have specific self-publishing questions they'd want answered?

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.

I appreciate that this article doesn't lose sight of the 200 human beings in our cohort doing tangible, meaningful work across many professional disciplines. The mismanagement of Future Class does not diminish our individual careers, and without TGA, we still have bright futures.

reminder that those who complain about people calling #Irish 'Gaelic', rarely do anything else for actual language rights (apart from bringing this up). it also shows their ignorance. they don't really care about the language...

good in-depth piece: irishlanguage.ie/gaelic-gaeil... #gaeilge
Can people call Irish, Gaelic? - IrishLanguage.ie
In short, yes. Saying ‘Gaelic’ for Irish is ok and you can use it. That in itself doesn’t seem like a controversial statement but say it in Ireland or

Chatting with Future Class inductees for my latest at @theguardian.com. They paint a pretty clear picture of the perils of performative allyship.

Thanks to all who spoke with me, and always, to Keza for the chance to do important work!

In the throes of agony because I wore heels last week and walked a bit around London (in flats).

Being disabled sucks. I just want pretty heels without it causing my back to feel like packing peanuts being ground to dust.

Recently SensePilot, the app enabling users to control keyboard and mouse inputs using head and face movement, added voice recognition to its features.

Other new features since our preview include dwell clicking and mouse movement using facial gestures.

hello game dev community, i am looking to interview a few people who have been in the industry for 5+ years and are comfortable in the role they chose for themself in their career. i want to hear from everyone, producers, engineers, narrative, community managers, etc. !!!

Can't articulate how I feel about my time better than this tbh.
perhaps the most egregious thing that happened with the Future Class was when The Game Awards took money from Old Spice in the name of the FC & simply... pocketed it

it wasn't used to fund Future Class initiatives, it wasn't used to help lift marginalised developers

they just profited from us

While I’m disappointed in Future Class as a program holy moly do I have so much gratitude for the people in the cohorts. I would follow you all into battle. We are out there doing the work every day to make our industry and art form a better place. Geoff can join us if he wants. Love you all. 💖

Autistic ways of saying “I love you” (that you might miss):

- “I researched your problem. Here are your options”

- “I made a spreadsheet/ list/ plan to help you”

- being ourselves around you (infodumping, not masking etc)

- “Here’s a meme that I think you’d like”

The best neurodivergent inclusion can be kinda invisible.

It’s going somewhere and seamlessly being able to use my AAC.

It’s being given time to process options, or make a decision.

It’s spaces with careful lighting + noise design.
