If their Orphan Crushers are better we should totally ban them though. It’s morally reprehensible to have Orphan Crushers made by *gasp* foreigners

There’s just no way around it! Due to forces beyond our control, Orphan Crushing is the inevitable future!

Every purchase of anything now comes with a free crushed orphan!
No you can't turn down the crushed orphan. Why wouldn't you want a crushed orphan?

Coming soon: OrphanCrushTok

I understand there are concerns about the overall effectiveness of the Orphan Crushing product, but as we Crush more Orphans, the product will become more viable.

"Nobody can prove that the orphan crusher ISN'T sentient, and that means it definitely is. Unlike the orphans."

The Orphan Crusher is here to stay. If we don’t feed more Orphans to the Crusher the Orphan Crushing industry will die. It’s time to wake up to the reality of the Orphan Crusher. The Orphan Crusher is worth billions. We need to teach people to use the Orphan Crusher. It’s here to stay.

Through the magic of divorce I am the eldest daughter, an only child, and the awkward middle sibling. Is there a union

Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.

The thing about this is, is this is how born-rich people *already* do it - whether it's making art, or starting a business, or whatever they successfully do. They already know it works.

Damn. This is amazing. £325 per week, paid monthly, for 3 years - and the result was a profit for the Irish economy:

Post from Threads user rodneyowl: "Ireland has declared the Basic Income for Artists scheme permanent. This will be officially announced in tomorrow’s budget. Details to follow. Congratulations to all who fought for it and the present and future artists of all sorts in Ireland. That includes me 👌We’re just comin to the end of a 3 year pilot scheme. It’s been a roaring success. For every €1 paid out to the 2000 participants, the government got €1.46 back. Can’t argue with that. Other countries are already taking note."

found this in my notes, good advice for aspiring devs
Rules for Game Dev
1. The gamer is always gamer
2. Games aren't finished, only completed
3. Always keep at least one infinite loop in your game to trap malevolent spirits
4. Don't code the small stuff (it's all stuff)
5. Respect the seven axes of player motivation
6. A bad game is bad forever, but a broken game is right twice a day
7. It's not about who you know, it's about knowing who
8. Disregard the eighth axis of player motivation
9. You couldn't make Super Mario today. Try again tomorrow.
10. The game developer with the most victory points at the end is the winner
11. Do not acknowledge the howling skull

They specifically said ”no drilling”. Nothing about slicing it open with the buster sword.

Cloud was actually stood just underneath it but I cropped him out because he kept telling me not to drill through the wall.

I have MULTIPLE. I‘ll put myself in a locker immediately.

(But specifically I’m studying early modern queer history, because I love having no sources and a dream)

I have such good news for executives and industry leaders - it is incredibly easy for *you*, specifically, to put a stop to this. Tell these bad-faith harassers no. Loudly and publicly support your employees & industry colleagues.
Shut this shit down once and for all to protect the future of games.
An excerpt from the article that reads: "In my opinion, every company that has caved to their demands has contributed
to the harassment and climate of fear the rest of us are enduring, and game companies that have done so, in particular, have painted a target on the back of every single person in this industry," the developer said. "Frankly,
I'm pissed."
