This is why I'm making the game I'm making. We are absolutely at an inflection point regarding ultra-wealth. It doesn't have to go the way it's gone historically.

Closing in on 25% of my goal - thank you so much to everyone who has donated and shared so far ❤️ If I can get to £2,000 by the 15th it would be a massive help with December's bills and the big one-off yearly renewal costs that come up this time of year (none of them recreational, I hasten to add)
Having a lot of uncomfortable feelings about being in this position, but I made this after encouragement from friends and would really appreciate it if you could give it a look/share ❤️

Vampire Therapist is not only a great holiday gift, but buying it also supports development of our new game about taking down the mega-billionaires.
It'll also help pay our legal fees when they come after us!

Vampire Therapist is a great game. If you're having trouble explaining therapy to someone, this is also a great introduction. Really loved it, highly recommend.
no in fact it is exactly the right time to be playing Vampire Therapist because every time I get to a new "cognitive distortion" that my therapist taught me about (we just called them thinking traps) I point at the screen like:

Game devs! Stop identifiably posting things that will get you fired in spaces where people who want to fire you (your CEOs right before bonuses, but also that underperforming colleague whose promotion "you stole" or who just doesn't like you) can see!

EXCLUSIVE: So far it's been unclear what proof Rockstar Games has to justify its firing of 34 union members, who it claims were leaking "confidential information in a public forum".
PMG has now seen some of the messages which contributed to this decision being made.

The "trust" argument made me rage quit my last job. "Trust" that is given blindly is better known as "faith", and last I looked, the office wasn't a temple, and executives were not gods.
And if they are gods, I choose heresy.

I don't like to say "AI", as I find it a bit flat. What I like to call it is "the beast", but my spouse says nobody knows what I'm talking about what I call it that.
But what else should we call AI? I think "the beast" is appropriate. It's amoral, insatiable, and monstrous. What could fit better?
