GOOD NEWS! Researchers have made a HUGE breakthrough towards a UNIVERSAL antiviral. By targeting sugar molecules found on the surface of many viruses that SHARE structural similarities, they identified FOUR compounds that successfully BLOCKED infections from SEVEN different viruses.
“Nepo babies” are not the problem. It is completely normal and acceptable for people to pursue the same craft as their parents. The problem is that the creative industries have become inaccessible on a professional level to anyone who isn’t independently financially comfortable.
we need to somehow get genpop to realize that meaningful critique, the kind that should inform the work, is something that artists request from peers. criticism is something that the audience exchanges among itself to make sense of how they feel about the work, but it's not meant to inform it.
The most bad-ass rebuttal from Tite Kubo, the author of Bleach.
A problem with being The Only One in a profession is that you are placed under a kind of scrutiny that your colleagues are not, for reasons that are extremely clear but that no one will acknowledge. Time to bump the thread again.
I kinda want a time travel fix it game where the time travel fix it part is meant for the NG+
I have no words. Other than I am honored and humbled to be nominated alongside such meaningful stories. So proud of the team and the work we did 😭.
“You’re alienating half of your audience by being political”
Motherfucker, my “audience” is people who aren’t pieces of shit, who care about others. That’s who I make stuff for.
There is no “other half”.
Parents Beware!!! Showing antipathy or hostility toward your child's interests when their young will ensure you never EVER hear about them again thus making your grown child alien to you in ways you will not understand.
Anyway waaayyy this post brought to you by the fact I'm going to see Yoko Kanno and The Seatbelts which for me is the equivalent of seeing Beyoncé and Jesus at the same time
Remember… im not flirting im just southern. 😭😭😭
books: the rectangle that can’t send you push notifications. Try: books.
You 🫵🏿 have the solemn duty to be the lefty bleeding heart wokescold in your family group chat by urging everyone to call their reps.
Find their representatives.
Write scripts for them to make it easier to make the call.
YOU ARE NOT POWERLESS.

Here’s the thing. I don’t care about your religious beliefs or your moral and ethical codes until it interferes in the lives, and the rights of others. Just because you claim to take guidance from a 2000 year old book of fiction, you do not get to invalidate the existence of the LGBTQIA+ community.
Call me old fashioned, but when I was a girl we valued this thing called a sense of accomplishment. It means you put in the effort to do something, then you look at having done it & are proud of what you did. I feel accomplished when I have written because I went through the process to write.

I promise y'all that whatever I was trying to read is not worth that much trouble. I'll either get it elsewhere or just forget about trying to read it entirely.🤷🏾♂️
Seeing some arguing that no one's perfect and that many creators of classic works are flawed. That's like saying "the world is shit so why even try for better".
Hundreds of books come out every year, many written by good people. I don't need to resign myself to supporting bigots and assholes.
So you're telling me that now, as game devs, we have to coddle players who refuse to read? Fuck that shit. Wall of text. Refuse to read it? Get fucked, the game is not for you. Read or die.
Remind anyone who tries to use the phrase "separate the art from the artist" that it was originally coined for academic/critical practice in order to analyze the work. Not to cling onto stuff that actively harms people just because you like it a lot.
“Separate the art from the artist” is a nuanced concept that should be reserved for dead creators only, whose legacies we have to grapple with in the context of history. It should NOT be used for living creators actively doing harm. That’s my two cents.
"you will have to play ze slop games eventually it is inevitable that all games will be ze slop"
Ok but considering general socioeconomic decay and my rate of video game consumption (~1.5 hrs/day) I am statistically likely to be dead before I run out of currently existing non-slop video games.
People keep saying “oh so you want OPEN BORDERS” as some kind of gotcha and like. Yeah. When I was a kid you could just drive into Canada. On accident, even. It was great, and I think we should do that instead of kidnapping children. Normalize being normal instead of being kidnapping weirdos
The perception of video games and studios as speculative investment opportunities is doing irreparable harm to the industry and its workforce. Idiocy of the highest order.
The game industry’s obsession with graphics is so funny because every other year there will be some breakout hit called “Stick Figure Mansion” or some shit that outsells 90% of the market and runs on a toaster
Graduating high school before ChatGPT is like having a brain made of recovered steel from warships old enough to not have been weakened by atomic bomb isotopes.
