Remembering a publisher that acted very worker friendly, only to ask us to change the art style to be considered for an offer got really flustered when we said we don't do extra labor for the 'chance' of getting a deal
It's amazing how much treating bad pubs like bad dates really translate

I kind of like that clay look. Hope it doesn't wash off.

we’re phantom friends, a new indie fund. our focus is on low light worlds. we're drawn to the umbral and moody, the glow of a city at night, a darkness that feels alive. games that live in the shadows, both visually and narratively.

One time I heard a Canadian YouTuber pronounce Fukuoka as Fookhwokka and ever since I've been pronouncing Shizuoka as Shizwokka in my mind.

If running out of yarn for your project is your main reason for not wanting to make a swatch, it might be a sign to bite the bullet and just get those extra skeins

夏の時、ソノモノアルパカウールで編んだセーターがちょっとチクチクする?って悩んでいたけども、涼しくなったら全然チクチク感がなくなって不思議。春になったらチクチク感多分戻るけど今そんなこと気にしない。

My life will not change if genAI ceased to exist. Revolutionary tech is not something that can cease to exist and have 0 impact on your life. But genAI is that. Nothing at best and a negative at worst.

asset reuse is a dying art
once I created an elaborate wooden bridge in a game with a top-down camera.
my boss was like this looks great - but where'd you get the wood planks?
I moved the cam underneath the bridge, revealing each plank to be a stretched out trophy case from the achievements menu

Backed by the Heritage Foundation and Big Tech, KOSA will force everyone to upload their ID to access the internet. In an age when Palantir has direct ties to ICE, where technofascists are in power and want to eliminate and censor everything, we CANNOT allow KOSA to pass.
It NEEDS mass pushback.

🚨‼️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.

Online censorship is one of the many levers of state power right-wingers have been pulling to try and snuff out queer and trans existence. But instead of fighting back, some Democrats are helping them at the controls. Read the full #OpEd from @fightforthefuture.org
Why Are Some Democrats Backing MAGA's Anti-LGBTQ+ Censorship?
From late-night host cancellations to removing LGBTQ+ history from government sites, politicians in both parties are contributing to the overwriting of the internet — a place where lots of queer and t...

A long time ago, a mobile game studio made my husband do an on-site 5 hr design test, did not hire him, but then updated their game with the shit he did for free in that interview. I will never forget.

I'm not particularly invested in Hasan but everyone believing this shock collar nonsense sounds stupid, it's a stupid story and I don't respect it.

Unfortunately, the reality of the media landscape forces us to be public about responding 'nonissues', lest we let bad actors fill in and control the narrative as we saw in the Depp v Heard era.
collar gate is the latest instance of a trumped-up non-issue blossoming into a large-scale psychosis event – and possibly the dumbest. it's also the modern internet doing exactly what it was engineered to do
