Heads up for indie studio owners in the USA: I’m not a tax professional but you might want to talk to your accountant about how contractors who program are being treated differently this tax season, and going forward. It seems like it potentially could have big consequences on indie studios.

play more games people play *better* games play games outside your comfort zone play weird, little freak games

Unfortunately it looks like I’ve been laid off from Netflix. What I thought was a relatively stable job in the games industry turned out to be just that: a games industry job. I‘ll try to enjoy my time out of work by focusing on Magicland. But lmk if anyone out there needs a narrative/tech designer!

Target stock after removing their DEI policy. Go fash lose cash and all that.

If this person follows you, I advise you avoid their game, ALA. They use assets stolen and flipped from Selaco and the rest is AI-generated content (obvious breach of Steam content guidelines) Don’t support this misappropriation of artistry.

This is such wonderful news www.gameinformer.com/letter-from-...

Demand for the resignation of Pete Hegseth and Michael Waltz after this, frankly ridiculous, breach of national security. Thanks to @5calls.org for making this process take no more than 5 minutes. You should call too: 5calls.org

Does anyone else find it concerning that we already have those stupid corporate meme accounts invading Bluesky? Memes are for the people, not the corpos.

Tonight an unbelievable **34,000 people** gathered for our Denver rally to take on billionaires and win our country back. This was the largest political gathering in Denver since Obama in 2008. Also bigger than the 2024 DNC. And the largest ever rally in Bernie’s career (and obviously, mine too).

My Alma Mater is notorious for pestering about donations (as most Universities are), yet they spend their valuable time and resources banning drag… I’d rather not throw my money into a dumpster fire, thanks. Come back to me when you remember what the point of a public university is

Just arrived today, the Blu-ray of Identiteaze by @jessiegender.bsky.social! Movie night anyone?

I really don’t understand why corporate execs believe how restricting your product’s feature set is in any way beneficial

I feel like the ability to talk about things that you love endlessly and un-self-conciously is a gift. Don't let go of that. Once you start shutting up it's so hard to open up again.

I like keeping my personal and professional lives separate, but as a computer science professor, the terms "AI" and "ML" are used very loosely (and confusingly) in general parlance these days. Would any creatives be interested in a "as not technical as possible" primer on how these work? 🧵

I’ve been watching old HBomberGuy videos I haven’t seen before. I’m always pleasantly surprised at how he can make anything he covers engaging and interesting to watch, including topics I thought I wouldn’t be able to relate to

"I want to keep boycotting Amazon, but I also want to support indie authors. How do I do that?" Many indie authors have their books on Barnes & Noble & Kobo! There are also places like Smashwords & Campfire that are almost all indie books! Itchio now has a THRIVING LGBTQ Indie Book Scene.

It’s almost like actually humanizing trans people—letting us be in the room—creates real change and deescalates the culture war instead of treating as pawns to elicits support over, problems for being “too controversial”, or villains for being vocal about our issues to people who aren’t listening.

Each and every person who normalized the idea that this is a "public square" and therefore all people have an open invitation to be an ass in the replies of strangers clearly never learned how to respect anyone but themselves.

If you play video games on the highest difficulty, that's great! 👍 But don't give gamers who play on easier difficulty a hard time about it. Everyone likes to enjoy games differently and there is no right or wrong way to play.

I just found out about Britt Allcroft’s passing. I can’t overstate her impact on the world and my life especially. Rest in peace.
