Newsom is a piece of shit, and all the cool people know that
I find it hilarious that right-wingers think they can start and win a fight with left-wingers when it's very clear that:
(1) Left-wingers are much better shots
(2) Most of the modern world is based on progressives and left-wingers taking and maintaining their rights by force/violence.
I would day you dodged a bullet, but at this point, even if you had been accepted in and left because of incompetence it probably would have taken a shorter time
I always feel conflicted about rainbow capitalism around Pride month.
On the one hand, it's so incredibly shallow, transparent, and not something corporations give a shit about.
On the other hand, it's a good reminder to those who are queer that we exist and have a voice worth listening to.

I was one of the Egyptian writers on this, and if you love TTRPGs that explore non-western approaches to cyberpunk and Egyptian mythology, you should check this out ^_^
I mean, Goeff posted it on his personal channel; for sure he was paid to put it up. This is why I don't take the TGAs seriously
They almost certainly were; Goeff posted it on his personal channnel
As long as they do it before I have to pay rent again, I welcome whatever happens with open arms :P
It's ok to feel bad that evil people reaped what they sowed. Being rich doesn't absolve them of consequences, and really that's just nature taking it's course.
Rare massive W from EA.
They had a handshake "we won't sue you probably" agreement for a few years but this is huge W for accessibility for every game dev.
Includes the IRIS plug-in for UE5.

So! If you know somebody who might be interested, or are interested yourself, please reach out to me in DMs or in these comments and we can have a chat.
Any likes and reposts would also be appreciated :D
. . . lead experience but not so much art or game dev experience to get involved in gamedev.
Commitment is pretty minimal, since we want to avoid the toxic gamedev culture, and we don't expect more than 5-10 hours a week MAX.
Our style is a sort of two-tone, black and white style similar to Obra Dinn, and I've attached a couple of images below.
We're looking for is an art lead who can help form and lead the art team, and preferably already has a bit of lead experience. It's a great opportunity for somebody who has . .
The project we're working on now is a 3D sci-fi horror game set in a space station inside a dead eldritch god. We're in pre-production now, and have programming, narrative, and production leads, but we're having a hard time finding an art lead (who would have though :P).
Heya folks! I could really use your help with recruitment for a volunteer project.
A couple of months ago, a few others and I started a volunteer game project called "The Game Co-O" with the goal of taking on longer and larger projects than a regular game jam.
But, we're missing an art lead.
To be fair, gleefully stole it from some random Facebook group :p

A few months ago I backed these gorgeous books with white text on a black background and they finally got here today :D
Board Game Accessibility (Rebellion - Joyride) - Access-Ability
People have asked me about this for a long time. So let's dip a toe into board game accessibility.

I mean, look at it the other way around: They're absolutely perfect for tearing those institutions down :P
Nobody, and I mean absolutely nobody, could have seen this coming
(/s x 100000 to the point where my eyes have rolled so far back they've escaped my head and gone on an interstellar adventure with a chipmunk and a slightly weird tasting can of soda)
In light of the situation in New Zealand, can I just say that I think it's really cool and incredible to not only see indigenous people stand up for their rights, but also that women are taking the lead and demanding their empowerment.
Oooof, POTS sucks; I'm sorry :(. But hey, at least everything will get better at some point, right?
. . . . right? 😭
Also worth checking blood pressure; I'm sure everybody's is wack from the past few days :(
I'm not sure that there is any solution; all our current systems of governance rely on people being good.
