Love to be a country with a chronic labor shortage and not only doing nothing to make things better but actively making the problem worse.

We in fact have a different solution for that. We're delaying MGS4 and Peacewalkers and doing an ep on game preservation and the problems with historical analysis of games.

Not sure whether this is cursed or GOATed. Possibly both.
Yes everyone this one actually turned out quite nicely if I say so myself 🙂↕️🙂↕️ listen to me speak for longer than 10minutes pre-GDC so my voice won’t be a shock to you on Tuesday
And over on Patreon, we have a rare treat! A deep dive into the original design document written in 1999!

Apologies for how late this is, but I wanted my voice to recover to record an opening bit, and that did not happen.
In this episode, @espressocat.bsky.social does her level best to keep me from hating on Metal Gear Solid 2 too much!

I have the absolute pleasure of sharing the stage with some incredibly talented and obsessed people this GDC.

The other possibility that has to be considered is that both were referencing a third thing. Something that I was trying to work on before quitting academia was looking at the overlap between comics and children's lit/theater. Babes in Toyland immediately comes to mind as something either could...
Cool job opportunity for game folks!

the buoying force of "having a job that does good for people" does not compare to the crushing weight of living in a country that regularly perpetuates horrors across the globe
But you did publish before 2022!

Vonnegut's GHQ pieces and board
This game that Kurt Vonnegut designed and failed to sell before becoming an established author is actually pretty great. Surprisingly dynamic and strategic. Plus a great little booklet on the history of the game with plenty of archival materials.

Literally the movie WarGames (1983).
Thanks for the support!

Infographic with text: Since 2017, funding for policing has increased by 40% While funding for libraries has increased by only 22%
Last year, the U.S. spent more than $200 billion on policing – a 40% increase in less than 10 years.
Meanwhile, funding for libraries only increased 22%, which doesn't even keep up with inflation.
Reveals a lot about the country's priorities.
I drew a face on a paper plate. Who could even begin to understand how it perceives the world or what it dreams of?
This feels like an extension of how "graphic novel" is nearly always used in critical discourse: as a way of avoiding calling comics what are obviously comics. It's meant to create a special, more serious category for the same thing.
