Quite honestly, if this whole thing is an indicator of the treatment I or any teams I work with would get then I'd rather go somewhere else, personally. I'm too tired to try to get attention from a man or his organization that doesn't actually stand for what they say they do anyway. Gwaan. (3/3)

I'm allowing myself to be more gloves off about this than I usually am mostly because even though the industry is small and so on I feel compelled to call it what it is when my peers are being mistreated. Even if it theoretically ruins my chances to "get on" The Game Awards. (2/3)

Yeah. And it wasn't like, a new thing even then, either, but I feel like Bayformers started getting people in younger generations into that in the way that like Top Gun or other older flicks did if we're talking movie influences only.

Granted, some of the emails of that kind that *do* mention Munity at all are still junk, but at least it's attentive junk lol. I sorta know the point is mostly to get people to self select but a little effort wouldn't hurt your chances that much, would it? (2/2)

(IMPORTANT 2/2) Even for a crowdfunding video or whatever, where it's important you use only things you have the rights to, you can go dig up royalty-free music from places if you *really* go looking. The resources are out there.

From jump street, all of this has been eugenics and phrenology and the way we stayed trying to warn people that it was going to be coming for *everyone* next after they managed to get non-white women and everyone else they thought lesser than in the net.

Every single time.

It somehow feels like a literal crime to be a publisher submitting to IGF on behalf of a client and have *no understanding* that **of fucking course you need to be ready to have something playable to submit when asked.**

I haven't even submitted to IGF and I know this, what the fuck.

Please continue to spread the word or give if you can. This has been an immense relief so far for my worries going into the winter, and I'm getting more opportunities in the bag so that this money can really last, but we're not quite out of the woods yet. (3/3)

$2000 and $4000 also have their own goals to reach, and I am also considering how to add some other services to Ko-Fi directly so that I can give people more ways to support me even after this is done and actually give y'all something back for your time. (2/3)

This generative stuff--not the procedural generation methods that have already existed before OpenAI and ChatGPT, not stuff like Speedtree or coding fractals--this is just being used to put out slop. Slop, slop, slop. And it kills the character and vivaciousness that makes games GAMES. (2/2)

If that resonates with you at all, then I hope it helps, maybe, to let that be the driver, if spite or hope or whatever else isn't in or with you right now. And if it doesn't I understand that too.

Do whatever you can, where you can. That's pretty much all I can ask of anyone, I think. (3/3)

I think the thing that keeps me going is not wanting to regret more than I already do. I want to see Shootlanzer get released. I want to keep making stuff. I want to help people however I can. So... that's what has me going still. Wanting to discharge as many of my potential regrets as I can. (2/3)
