This is where we are now. The vocal, unhinged tourist grifter minority has made it so a team can’t even celebrate their launch. Because it has an actual historical figure that happens to be Black.

They are calling this ‘Phase 1’.”

This is a false dichotomy.
It’s important we say
“We understand and we welcome you to complete the work necessary to reconcile, with the safety and protection of the people you targeted at the fore front “

friendly reminder that the best case scenario over the coming years is that a lot of people say "I supported Trump but this isn't what I wanted at all" and when they do that it's gonna be really, really important that we say "welcome in," not "fuck you, we told you so"

Periodically I like to tell people to read Mark Kurlansky’s MILK where it smash cuts from recipes and history of farming to THE HORRORS OF THE 1800S
Just a reminder that people used to put paint and formaldehyde into milk and there had to be a huge movement to get proper food regulation, and without it people will die www.eater.com/2020/1/28/21...
We Owe Food Regulation to a 19th-Century Chemist Who Poisoned His Colleagues
The Poison Squad, as they became known, was a group of men who willingly consumed dangerous substances to force the government into consumer protections

Game Dev is in such a grim place right now. Honestly, I worry that eventually we won't have any games left to play in a decade.
We have so many good games releasing that "fall short" of hitting expectations.

I am not trying to be cruel but I agree: it is an enormously bad time to be trying to break into games. It’s a bad time to be a senior+ in games even, & I don’t see it improving soon. By all means, keep making art you care about, but it’s so unlikely to be a “pay the bills” career at this point.
with the bioware layoffs that’s more narrative people looking for work. there are currently like three jobs in narrative design. if you’re just starting out you should definitely learn literally anything else

If you are a straight, cis person and you feel that fucking knot in your stomach about what the administration is doing right now to trans people and trans children, you have to at the very fucking least say out loud in front of your friends and peers in real life "this is fucked up."

Earnest post, but: a thing I like here is it’s okay to have moments of happiness in public without being broadly scolded, and I believe that sustaining this kind of humanity will be very important as we resist fascism.

i watched literally TWENTY CALLS change an issue from 2-5 to 5-2 at city council one day.
I recently reposted a former congressional staffer who said that when an issue got 20-30 calls it would get representatives freaked out and ready to do something. It takes less than you’d think, because so few people actually take that kind of action

Okay, so I haven't been playing Dragon Age because my partner has monopolized the console to play their Rook, but can I just say what a delight it is to be back in Thedas?
Even just casually watching is a blast.
