You’ve decided to move to the city of Demashq, a coastal magical city by the beach where a popular boy band has recently taken up residence, disrupting the balance of spirits in the area as they all try to attend their concerts… the spirits are stans! But that’s ok, you’re a spirit swapper😌

What would life be like if you moved to a city where plants carry magic like cables carry electricity in our world? What does a queer Arab fantasy world feel like? We’re making a solo-journaling TTRPG set in that world for zine month🐸 sliding scale PDF available!

it's so crucial for external consultants to evaluate your game before it releases (if you can afford it). the right team can catch major gameplay flaws, weak story aspects, and much more. i've worked with teams who have saved devs major PR crises. consultants do more than predict metacritic scores.
"Internal feedback on Highguard prior to its reveal "was quite positive," Sobel wrote: There was, apparently, a widespread expectation that the game was a sure-fire hit."

Getting playtests and mock reviews done by external partners can be a really good idea.
Laid-off Highguard developer cuts loose on the reaction to the infamous Game Awards reveal trailer: 'We were turned into a joke from minute one'
Former lead technical artist Josh Sobel says false assumptions and ragebait were major contributors to Highguard's failure to connect with players.

This is genuinely insane, I clicked to see the years expecting the low part to be 70s or maybe 90s but its 2015!!!!! The entire anti trans panic is a decade old
a stat i always cite is the number of anti-trans articles in the press went from 60 in a year, to 7,500

Worth remembering the same political party behind this was also advising Harris and are incredibly likely to advise Newsom or any other centrist Dem that runs for the presidency.

Liberal and centrist governments are perfectly capable of carrying out trans genocide. They already are.
this shit only makes any kind of sense working from a premise that transition is ontologically bad and therefore reducing the number of alive trans people is a reasonable and not at all nazi goal to have

Suffice to say, no, I didn’t know who all was being asked. This was arranged through a mutual friend somewhere between five and ten years ago. There aren’t enough palms in the world for my face.
