At least 80% of the content I consume everyday is in English, but now Google, Microsoft, YouTube, even Reddit insist on auto-translating everything to Spanish for me 🙄

Between the world being on fire, going home, the chaos of life/death, and trying to finish the next one, I haven’t plugged Zero Saints, but it’s an important book for me. It established barrio noir, launched my career in France, and taught me a lot. Oh, and it’s SO timely. Hope y’all read it!

As a dev I can't imagine spending hundreds or even thousands of hours crafting a world for people to enjoy only for publishers to kill it.

I got to talk to Ross on my Stream a while back about the Stop Killing Games initiative, and it's a shame the traction has stopped, so even if I'm a relatively tiny streamer, let's see if we can't give this another push?
