A grounding read by @aftermath.site about how much it sucks to look for work in games. The thing I can echo that's driven me more crazy than anything else is the number of studios I've done tests for that don't guarantee an interview after the test to discuss it (let alone ghosting after). (1/4)

No quarter for hate. The International Flipper Pinball Association needs to do better.
I would like to first state that I am glad to see that the IFPA has finally responded to the incident that occurred last weekend at the OBX Fall Flippers Classic. Pinball is for everyone, and Flippers Arcade and Laundromat having a minimum 1-year ban from running events sanctioned from the IFPA shows that there is at least some sense that the organization is trying to stay adherent to it’s own policies. The IFPA did not acknowledge that they were even investigating this event until 5 days and 14 hours later, and that only occurred because I called them out in their Discord – up to that point, nothing had been mentioned in this space about anything that occurred. Yet, two deafening and glaring flaws in the statement made by the “IFPA Organization” still persist, and both the lack thereof of statements and the statements that came out to fill in those blanks show that the IFPA is not living up to it’s expectations for itself, nor it’s perception of being an arbiter of equality/equity to the community. Before I go on, I would like to say that this year would have been my third OBX Fall Flippers. In the two years prior, I have seen trans and queer competitors take at least one top 4 spot (2019 and 2024). First, nothing in any official IFPA statement mentioned anything about what will happen to the event where this incident occurred in the first place. An official statement from the Women’s Board in response to the “IFPA Organization” statement was made as follows: “The IFPA Women’s Advisory Board unanimously recommended that the IFPA revoke sanctioning for the OBX events, and we vehemently disagree with IFPA Leadership’s decision not to do so. We did not contribute to the announced statement or the new process for incident reporting and we oppose the decision-making process used by IFPA Leadership.” Further statements showed that the IFPA also misrepresented some of the events that were witnessed first hand by Sammie Bacon, a member of the IFPA Women’s Advisory Board. Other than the originally affected party, she was the person most knowledgeable about the events that transpired, and was the person who Becky (the Flippers manager) waved an iPad in their face to justify her hate crimes with bogus bathroom bills. As it has come out, Adam Becker was responsible for this decision as the lead. I may respect you for the work you have done for the community, but I am ashamed to see how you have decided to ignore your Women’s Advisory board in a decision as well as misrepresent them both in including them in your statement when they did not agree to it as well as directly altering first-hand accounts witnessed by a Women’s Board member. Josh Sharpe, Zach Sharpe, Andy Bagwell, Germain Mariolle, Michael Trepp, and Brian Woodard – I am also saddened to hear that you did not step in to ensure that the matter was being treated with the utmost care and concern that a matter of trans and queer exclusion in an Open event should warrant. As one of the trans people who was eager to play in OBX Fall Flippers event, it also saddens me to see that their own statements mean nothing in practice. “The IFPA only recognizes open division of play to be included in the World Pinball Player Rankings. If certain players are prohibited from playing based on age, gender, skill or personal reasons, those results will not be counted.” By the IFPA’s own admission, this was an act of discrimination. Even further, this was sexual harassment and a hate crime. How can WPPRs be awarded to an event that breaks the IFPA’s own statements? Why are cis and/or hetero players being rewarded because at least 15 phenomenal trans/queer players had to avoid the event because they needed to prioritize their safety? By itself, this is damning – and as a prominent trans pinball player, makes me feel like the IFPA will not have my back at events. If results from this event are posted, I will be suppressing myself from IFPA events as it has been made clear that the IFPA’s statements about “standing in solidarity” with me are just words on a screen and hold no meaning or value. While I understand that part of this involves Kevin Stone, I also believe that his statement and apology are genuine. I would like there to be resources available to Tournament Directors, potentially as part of the IFPA website, that can provide resources to assist in what to do if situations of discrimination or hate show up at your event – as well as fostering a culture where pinball is safe for everyone. No quarter for hate.

The Pinball Primer (which you may have seen linked from matchplay) has taken down all its pinball strategy guides, in protest of the IFPA.

IFPA president Josh Sharpe has doubled down on awarding points to a pinball tournament where a transphobic hate crime occurred.

He now says the event _could_ have been stripped of its points, and blames the different outcome on two trans women.

An IFPA event became the center of a major controversy last weekend after a venue manager forcibly removed a trans woman from the women’s restroom and the TD allowed the event to proceed without interruption. The IFPA’s response has now created more controversy.

Every single blinking NES report is followed by tons of people coming out of nowhere to recommend disabling the 10NES, even though NES dev enthusiasts have long determined the extent of the circuit and how meaningless the mod is for 99.9% of blinkers. This misinfo irrationally pains me.
