“Wow so you get to play games all day?” as a reaction to me being a game dev still has the power to make me instantly need a nap
What’s the worst question someone can ask after you tell them your profession? For linguists, it’s definitely “how many languages do you speak?”, but I’m curious what else is happening to the rest of y’all out there?!

Eventually C after some Fade Prison therapy, D, B, A.
In order, that’s Solavellan, DavRook, Handers, and Mahariel on her lonesome because Alistair bit it in the final battle. 🫠 All of them are definitely in therapy (Davrin is just therapy as a partner lol).

Let me give some insight on this, as a producer in the dub industry who worked with major streamers, who's witnessed first-hand where this push for AI is coming from.
tl;dr: Only CEOs want this. Tell them how much you hate it. Be loud, email, call, @, post. You will kill this.

The only thing less human than these AI dub performances is the decision to sign off on them
A company this big can pay human actors a decent wage, not produce slop that intentionally removes the human element.

Opal is the darlingest sweetheart and gifted this incredible WORK OF ART to me.
Even if you’re not particularly a Solavellan, her attention to historical details is nothing short of incredible in this Medieval AU and I’ve thoroughly enjoyed reading (and beta-ing) every step of the way.

Hey folks, I often do posts calling for indie developers to link me their games so I can signal boost them. Today I want to do something similar for all trans creatives.
If you are a trans game dev, artist, writer, streamer or YouTuber, reply here with a link to your work. Only one rule: no GenAI.💜

This is a pretty cool initiative, especially for newer or smaller developers.
Developers of all sizes should be able to publish to the platforms they want. That's why today we're making the @xbox.com Game Publishing Guide open to the public!
