A stained glass-style depiction of The Game Awards trophy, emerging from a bank safe with green bills pouring out the opening. Two large ominous hands hover around the trophy, one holding a scythe to its torso. The depiction is headlined with THE AVARICE AWARDS, with details below: PRESENTED BY UNITED VIDEOGAME WORKERS, A CODE-CWA UNION LIVE ON DEC. 10TH AT 7 PM PT AT HTTPS://TWITCH.TV/UVW_CWA

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

We are Ironroot Games, a brand new independent game studio created by friends that want to make incredible games. Our team has come together to tell stories rooted in years of combined industry experience. Our first project is in development. ironrootgames.com

Honestly it feels really bad that when we asked them to put their money where their mouth was, TGAs instead killed the entire Future Class program.

‘These are traps set for the people’: the story of a mother shot dead searching for food in Gaza A family is reeling from the killing of a woman who walked for hours to an Israeli-backed distribution point with her son and daughter

Read this. Read about this unparalleled evil that Israel spreads without accountability. Let the anger move you to speaking, to acting, to resisting, to voting. This cannot continue.

“Tasted a little tear gas— tasted like fascism”

I have been learning Hiwatahia-Taino, the indigenous language of Boriken (Puerto Rico). For my language class final project, I localized a portion of a game I designed 2 years ago. I'm proud to say this the first time people outside our community are seeing it in a game!

Grateful to have had the opportunity to speak at the Google Building for Everyone Summit! I shared insights on the initiatives and impact Google Play and @latinxingaming.bsky.social have had on our community over the last few years on a panel with two powerhouses, Samia Zuber and Laila Shabir!

Thank you, Ami!! It was great to see you at GDC last week!
