Absolutely!
We as creators must continue to fight for a just and equitable future we believe in.
"This promise of an AI future, is really just a collective anxiety that wealthy people have about how well they're gonna be able to control us in the future."

- @tressiemcphd.bsky.social with an absolute mic drop moment about AI bullshit.

Incredible words.
Listen to all of it!

Things I cared about at the Game Awards today.

Congrats to the friends who worked on South Of Midnight!

Will definitely be tuning in to this tonight! Happening the day before The Game Awards too? absolutely.
The Avarice Awards holds a mirror to the hollow glamour of The Game Awards, as workers continue to have their livelihoods upended by mass layoffs. We are speaking truth to the powers ruining the game industry with their greed!

Stream begins on December 10th at 7pm PT / 10pm ET on twitch.tv/UVW_CWA

The funny thing is. I love collard greens but my favorite part of making them is probably getting the potlikker afterwards.
I can use that in soups, other veggies dishes, or just drink it for a lil boost 😁

Digging the screenshots and "coming soon" info on there now.
Love it when my own app absolutely nails a game suggestion for me. Crescent County looks fab!

Been working on my first ever highlight reel show my work as a game designer. I'm annoyed at how long it's taken me to finish editing 😅.

it's not hard. Juggling it alongside my other projects and business efforts has just taken time.
I'm like 90% done. Just need to finish cutting up gameplay videos
