"Flooding the zone" is essentially a denial-of-service attack on people's minds. Giving us too much to process, with asymmetric effort. As such, it's important to implement some Quality-of-Service protocols for our time, energy and attention. Individually, and as communities.

also I think a LOT more people are going to learn in the coming years that they didn’t have depression, they had #ADHD. Or they had both and their depression is directly tied to their ADHD not being treated for so long because ppl get depressed when they can’t function.

Thinking a lot about something @kameronhurley.com said earlier about the need to build stories about what comes next. It feels like it's clarified why conservatism is so endemic in genre fiction circles. Not just 'tradition is all' either but the way anything new is preemptively shot down.

It's very f*cking simple. It's not up for negotiation or debate. Who should we, as a society, do everything in our power to protect?

I’m curious which, if any, project management software other indie/solo devs use to keep track of everything. #indiedev #gamedev

Into The Dead is an excellent zombie game with interesting survival elements (and the actors who did their motion capture deserve a raise). The gore isn't excessive, but what there is pairs well with the sound design... There's a demo on steam at the moment: store.steampowered.com/app/2239710/...

Some more serious progress on my game has been made. It still surprises me the things that take the most time though. Fixing the inventory system took all of three hours instead of a week, but getting the highlight shader to work properly cooked my brain and took two days. #indiedev #gamedev

If this is a surprise to you, you're either maliciously tuning out an obvious truth, or deeply ignorant about the scope and evil of Western genocide support. There's no third option here.

I remember when we all believed that the biggest existential threat to the US was from the Soviet nuclear arsenal wielded by a Russian madman too crazy to be reasoned with. Instead, it's from the US nuclear arsenal wielded by a South African dipshit too stupid to be reasoned with.

This. A lot of the worst people involved in the global far-right project, in small or big ways -- Musk, Vox Day, Dominic Cummings, Moldbug -- absolutely are nerds and have all the characteristics thereof. And their particular evil is a particularly nerdy form of evil.

During the first year of the pandemic, I did #moraleboost threads. I had a unique upbringing and was “in charge of” morale, so to speak. Morale is so important, militaries have departments dedicated to it. They know you can’t fight if you’re exhausted and hopeless, so they work to prevent that. /1
