this is a particularly funny year for the "press should cover indies more" convo to pop up again because as far as I can tell we've reached a point where press coverage has zero effect on sales anymore so idk, be free indies, worry about things that actually matter like steam nextfest placement

What’s the worst question someone can ask after you tell them your profession? For linguists, it’s definitely “how many languages do you speak?”, but I’m curious what else is happening to the rest of y’all out there?!

I appreciate Vancouver Game Expo's method of keeping the aisles clear of crowd pileups by having someone in a gigantic amongus costume walk through every so often and smush everyone out of the central corridor

wishlist my game plz i'll love you forever
ICYMI, we released our demo last week! ✨
As Canadians, we are almost due for the grey, the cold, and the mush. But... what if you had a window into a gorgeous balcony of plants both alive and undead where you can cast spells, avoid errands, and try to pet ghost bees?

Still ongoing, my novel Star Sword Nemesis is 10% off! It's a real science fiction-ass science fiction novel about the ideology of human transcendence, a wouldbe hero with a crush on her mecha-fighting teacher, and the distance between people. loveconquersallgames.itch.io/star-sword-n...

This is me being pontkessly contrarian but re AI usage and management I feel like it's less that management is a fake job and more that being in position of power enables one to be increasingly worse at their job in increasingly visible ways without any personal consequences
