If you're gonna read any quote from an article on the game, let it be this one, because I think it sums up a lot of the feelings of fans pretty succintly
“In a word, it’s grief,” Yakuza/Like A Dragon Wiki “Chairman” Masu told me. “If you’re a longtime fan or even if you can see yourself becoming one, if the series has resonated with you, it’s hard to come to terms with the idea that maybe its driving principle of chivalry is just a power fantasy to be packaged and sold and not a sincerely-held belief. And if you’re a survivor like I am, it’s even harder to lose faith in creators you hoped were in your corner when most of the world isn’t. A lot of us are being forced to close a chapter in our lives [that] we never wanted to close.”

This is awful, and Diaz has QTP'd that they have insider info that @crunchyroll.com execs consider the current backlash against their enshittification of subtitles too small to matter.

They've bent to backlash before tho with trying to lower video quality.

This is an important one, anime fans.
What you can do about it If you are currently subscribed to Crunchyroll, cancel your subscription. When asked for a reason, mention the bad subtitle quality and lack of typesetting. You could even link to this article. Beyond that, and this applies to people who aren’t subscribed to Crunchyroll as well: spread the word! Share this article around, talk to people about how Crunchyroll is destroying its subtitles, make it so that Crunchyroll executives can’t ignore the issue. And the most important thing: Keep it up until Crunchyroll actually makes a clear public commitment to keep typesetting anime.

This is the most ruthless act of union busting in the history of the UK games industry. Yesterday, @rockstargames.com unfairly fired over 30 employees for union activity.

We won't back down, and we're not scared - we will fight for every member to be reinstated.

BREAKING: Yesterday Grand Theft Auto VI maker Rockstar Games fired dozens of people, all of whom were involved in union efforts. A British union calls it "blatant and ruthless" union-busting. Take-Two Interactive says it was due to misconduct.

Here's the scoop: www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Now working on another IF for Bare-Bones Jam. I love that this jam forces you to not add anything extra, helps me focus on storytelling. This will be a new story/series with a lot more choices than previous IFs I've made.

Still having power problems, fingers crossed they will be fixed soon.

to be honest I've always found it kinda fun to end up being a little bit crappy at whatever I try to do... Takes a lot of pressure off, and I feel like everyone can tell when you're doing something just for the love of the game

A real highlight of @qgcon.bsky.social has been @murderveggie.bsky.social talking about proactive community management during (and before!) a crisis, which was a fantastic lesson in social media literacy.

I might be submitting more IF to inkjam and/or bara jam, hopefully point & click. I'm having more catastrophic power problems so Godot development is on hold for now.

I've removed From Nothing from itch. It was very incomplete and too ambitious to finish any time soon.

Been sick so I haven't been able to catch everything, but I've still been really inspired by QGCon's presenters. Really nice to see and hear from the queer gamedev community!

Below the image there is text which reads: Don't let Payment Processors tell YOU what you can buy! It is not a payment processor's role to decide what kind of content you can or cannot spend money on, so long as it is a legal transaction.

There is now a full speed Gameboy emulator for PlayDate!

It’s very polished, with sound support, and lots of options. It even supports using it as a wrapper for devs to release homebrew GB games on PlateDate.
