I have secured a spot in my first drag show, and it's a 1.5 hour drive, and my bestie immediately started organizing friends to get a hotel room to give me a closer place to get ready and friends a place to crash after the show and I feel so loved 🥹

Are you or someone you know skipping GDC (or considering doing so) because of worries about coming to the US/San Francisco in the current environment?

I started stoning/bedazzling a cowboy hat for drag reasons, and now I am obsessed with putting rhinestones on everything.

Well this seems like a pretty huge fucking admission of racial profiling that will be ignored by the mainstream media
Homan: "People need to understand ICE officers and Border Patrol don't need probable cause to walk up to somebody, briefly detain them, and question them ... based on their physical appearance."

The Trump admin cut funding to science, art, and the humanities — rescinding grants it had already awarded to several video game projects. "Losing the award is devastating," a researcher making a game about ancient Peru told me, and ground the project to a halt.

This game started my journey of studying narrative-driven cooking games and I can't recommend it highly enough.
Venba ($5.99) - a short narrative cooking game, placing you as an Indian mom immigrating to Canada in the 80s. as you cook and eat meals, you will forge new connections and rebuild others, including your very own history. GREAT soundtrack. store.steampowered.com/app/1491670/...

I stopped into my neighborhood cornerstore/gas station on my way to work this morning, and the workers had their 2 sons with them. The kids had made an "inside safe" soccer ball by balling up plastic bags, so it didnt damage anything on collision. They passed the ball with customers in line. So cute

talking a lot about race-science shit, like IQ or “human biodiversity” or how bad affirmative action is, *should* be totally discrediting, a sign of lazy and shallow thinking that undermines anything else someone says

internalizing american notions of race and ethnic division as timeless truths about the world is a shortcut to smoothing out your brain

A good reminder that while Metal Gear Rising was incredibly loud and completely devoid of subtlety, people mistook that for being dumb.
It is not. It's one of the most clear-eyed and pointed political satires AND most plausible takes on cyberpunk around.
It is the Rage Against The Machine of games

One of the best parts of Pride is making eye contact with a stranger and you know you're thinking the exact same thing and then you say it out loud:
"Happy fucking pride. We're still here."
And you hug, and you'll probably never see them again, but that moment when you saw each other carries so much
