Reboosting. Behold the first person to win a Space Invaders contest. Ever. A gamedev legend who happens to also be trans, and one of those who fought so us trans #gamedevs could make the breakthroughs we have.

I know we aren't cashed up, but we are legion. A buck from all of us would help.

A bit of both I think. I'm so frustrated that we moved all the way here, only for it to not be a real long term option.

I'm not talking about being back to 100% of my unsustainable pace for work, but feeling back to my old energy levels.

Granted, my 50% is still typically over 100% what's expected. Learning to pace myself better is also part of this learning process.

Recovering from burnout is a long process. It's been around two years and I'm still at maybe 50-75% of what I was prior to burnout, depending on the day.

Never again, yo.

Kid Rock is a rich kid from fucking Romeo, Michigan trying to cosplay as someone with street cred. Dude, we had antique malls and an old timey ice cream shop when we were growing up. Who is the one dressing up like something they're not?

Blessed are the frogs, for they keep making authoritarians look incredibly stupid

Three persons in inflatable frog costumes. One of them is holding a nicely painted sign with two little cartoon frogs holding hands, below the text "FROGS TOGETHER STRONG"

The game industry mistakes authority for leadership.

There's precious little actual leadership.

imagine the money games could make if they were more inclusive of 48% of their potential base. sorry to bang on kpop demon hunters and love and deepspace drum again but they’re eating everyone’s lunch because few others were investing that level of production in feminine audiences

Just under half of gamers worldwide are women, according to a new report published by the Entertainment Software Association

Women are projected to control 75-85% of all discretionary household spending by 2028, but fuck actually marketing to us.

The Little Mermaid was one of the earlier examples in my lifetime, and here we are 36 YEARS later still shocked that making something that also appeals to young girls and women means GIANT MONEY HOSE

It drives me nuts because every few years it's like GASP 'this thing more people like is making crazy money!' and then everyone goes right back to pandering to the exact same fucking audience again because 'everyone knows' that's how to be successful.
