I like this post because it's not claiming Shakespeare wouldn't be writing for games - it just shows that the industry's state sucks.
If Shakespeare were writing for games today he would have been laid off six months ago
Every generation does this. "If Beethoven were alive today, he'd be totally into heavy metal," or hip-hop, or whatever. It's weirdly narcissistic.

Dernier segment à vous présenter : une table ronde sur les jams en mixité choisie. Trop hâte d'écouter cette super table ronde préparée par @safyadev.bsky.social et animée par @louiemoon.bsky.social les goats 💜
Les jams sont un mode de création apprécié par les développeureuses de jeux. Comment les minorités de genre s'approprient-elles ces espaces ? Chloé Desmoineaux et @blanchemaurice.com des Audacieu.x.ses nous donneront des pistes lors de notre prochain event le 25 mai à partir de 16h sur Twitch !

I think we should all be more grateful towards Comic Sans MS.
We all liked it as a little kid and then started hating on it.
Justice for COMIC SANS MS!

I quit my job earlier this year to make games. Would be great if people buy my games, especially when they are on sale right now. 👀

I can’t imagine any Bsky early adopter was cool in high school, so what kind of loser were you?

If there's something I love about France it's the commitment to labour rights + ability to sue employers in that manner
Although I have no regrets not suing my ex-employer, because it wasn't worth the time, there's still a vicarious satisfaction seeing people fighting for respect in this industry

Translated excerpts for 🇬🇧 speakers:
"Evil Empire (Dead Cells) is facing an ex-employee in an industrial trial. She's suing them for a discriminatory termination of her trial period, based on her disability"
"The corporate lawyer argued it wasn't a disability but her fatness"

As ever, my #everynightapoem for the autumnal equinox
———
By the 12thc warrior poet Xin Qiji 辛棄疾, who was sidelined during peacetime, demoted, drifting through a decade of minor posts in remote lands.
Poetry, then, is that which is left unsaid.
“My, what a cool and lovely autumn.”
