I gotta hand it to whatever advertising firm Informa hired to make these, there really is something almost poetic about GDC's advertising being "an AI-looking depiction of an industry staple being destroyed with no clear elaboration of what comes after." Masterclass in unintentionally nailing it.

A quest to eliminate $5 million has tripled, thanks to the generosity and passion of THE TOXIC AVENGER fans across the country.

Together, you didn’t just meet that goal, you crushed it, helping wipe out over $15 million dollars in medical debt for 10,000+ people!

"99.97 percent of families, even when given the option, chose to let their children learn about LGBTQ+ people."
Nice result, and it reinforces everything Montgomery County said to SCOTUS before its theocrats made their dehumanizing ruling. open.substack.com/pub/erininth...

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

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."

In case it wasn't abundantly clear when he was praising and palling around with Charlie Kirk, Newsom is no ally. In fact, it'd be more apt to call him actual opposition to trans rights. He is simply soulless scum who chameleons himself for political power.

I don't care how much Anti-Trump grandstanding Newsom does, this is who he actually is. Despiscable, grotesque, an ally to none but those who line his pockets.

If you have never done so, I would recommend going on MobyGames and looking at the credits of your favorite games and see what else those devs have worked on.
For example, there are still three people that worked on Wario Land 3 that work at Nintendo and they are involved in the recent 2D Metroids
