dreamed that I was the MC and leader of the house band for the GDC indie games track. we absolutely smashed it and everyone was really impressed

afterwards Elton John congratulated me on a great show

“Elton John!” I exclaimed. “Why are you at GDC?”

“What, I’m not allowed to be here?” he said

GDC FOLKS: I probably won't be at the conference much because my mental health is all fucked up!

but if you fancy a drink or a meal or just hanging out, message me — I'm around

no it’s not interesting, it’s something the gamergate guy made up at his keyboard in malaysia. these guys couldn’t pass an american civics test between the two of them even if you let them google the answers.

It's hard to know what to say or whether it's even worth adding to the doom - what I will say is buy your trans friends' weird zine, their album, their art game - buy them a beer or a soda or a meal - give them some ko-fi money for doing absolutely nothing. We gotta protect trans kids and adults.

Everything is burning and I don't know what to do.

But if you want to support queer art, there's never been a better time to play Dread Delusion: a retro RPG where you can domme a fascist into letting you cross a fortified border by spitting in his mouth.

No offense to the other contenders, but we deserve this award. We have in-universe insect yaoi AND a hidden sequence break where you spit in someone's mouth.
