My latest is a love letter to Chicago. "I see you stumbling through the stubborn, awkward rhythm of showing up, again and again. I see you fighting alongside people who sometimes frustrate and confuse you, and defending neighbors you may have never met, because you know they’re all your people."
In Chicago, We Run Toward Danger Together
"Faced with unrelenting state violence, Chicagoans have refused to be cowed," says Mariame Kaba.

Today we just got 100 new followers and a bunch of people saying "whoa I've never heard of this" re: the game we have been thumping into the ground for the last 3 years by posting one gif from our earliest demo. If you think you post too much about your game: you probably don't!

i fear we’ve lost the plot if “person who contributes to developing a game” no longer “counts” as a game developer. gdc eat my entire ass
Looking at the registration form for GDC and they don't even include production or QA or narrative or UI as a role you can have as a game developer 😩
