In absolute awe of the parent who sent in two large McDonald's fries, with the Monopoly tokens removed, to the preschool pot luck today. What a move holy shit.

Please consider backing us and spreading the word if you want to support a small marginalized team making a big game 🙏

If you can, please support Sena's subathon (or Kofi!) 💖

Sena Bryer @senabryer.com · 23d

I had really hoped this wouldn't be the case, but some bad news (not what you think, Twitter trolls) made me need to make this official.

The subathon, in addition to just keeping a roof over my head, is also to raise funds for an eventual immigration to Canada, Vancouver specifically.

absolutely wild that I spent my whole childhood wanting to be an adult so I could stay up all night playing video games, except I'm too old to do that now and my new idea of a perfect night is going to bed early with a bag of cookies and a book.

The NSFW games ban currently hitting game platforms comes from the same kind of people that lobbied for UK bathroom bills and used to pilot police crackdowns at gay bars.
It's yet another proxy to force LGBT people and sex workers out. Let's not go down quietly.

Anyway, time to call and email Visa and Mastercard. I suggest you all do the same.

Additionally, sign this petition from the ACLU.

Not to be hyperbolic but this is literally how i'm trying to be

A picture from a trail cam of a black bear soakin' it up in a bog, his little back feeties, head, and paws can be seen up over the top of the water. He is surrounded by reeds and appears to not have a care in the world. God i wish that were me at all times.

Bookmark this skeet so that when the game inevitably falls short of "largest gaming release of all time" (because literally who could meet such a high bar???) and Rockstar says they have to lay off workers due to "falling short of expectations" we can safely say "you set them up for failure."
