Hey remember that time like ten years ago when all those rot-brained reactionaries were drawing conspiracy charts about game journalism? The same kind of thing is now happening for federal grants to nonprofits, and the “ethics” stuff is just as stupid but the consequences likely way more destructive

When you've temporarily stopped carpet bombing an open air prison camp and you're pretending the "war" has reached a "ceasefire" When they get sick of shooting fish in a barrel, they just blow up the barrel. 92% of all structures have been destroyed in Gaza Israel will always be a genocidal state

Words matter. They're chosen for a reason. The ABC's coverage of this slaughter could serve as a lesson for media students wanting to understand how consent for atrocity is manufactured

Israel killed 80 Palestinians in Gaza today, 30 of whom killed after the ceasefire deal was announced. Israel always accelerates its massacres in the lead-up to ceasefire deadlines. Gaza also remains a besieged concentration camp reduced to rubble. The crisis is far from over.

Corporate DEI was a distraction from things that would bring real change (unions). Under neoliberalism identity is rendered as a commodity, stripped from community and individualized. The good thing about the mask coming off is that we can build real solidarity and community without the distraction

Back in 2021, PMG reported on the unseen games industry crunch taking place at outsourcing studios in SE Asia. Since then, the companies we looked at have continued to work on some of the biggest games in the world, without any push to improve the conditions of the artists doing that work. (1/7)

I want to make a personal appeal for the beautiful new game of Palestinian gamedev @rasheedabueideh.bsky.social. As nobody will fund a game about the 1948 Nakba, Rasheed is crowdfunding via launchgood.com/1948. I've been doing production advice on the game pro bono, and it deserves to exist.

my dear friend @rasheedabueideh.bsky.social has announced crowdfunding for a new game! ✨ Dreams on a Pillow 🍉 👉 www.launchgood.com/1948 👈 nothing in games feels as important as this right now. please consider supporting it and spreading the word! 🙏 reposts appreciated!

I have a lot of complex feelings watching myself struggle to make coherent sense of how I feel amidst an industry that has dehumanized my people while the Palestinian genocide shows the results of that dehumanisation. A beautiful documentary by @hippolyte.bsky.social. youtu.be/g7488to6Jpc?...
