This is a very insightful thread about how we can sometimes accept a framing for a problem and find a great solution to the problem without ever asking ourselves if this was even a good problem to try and solve.

Too many people on here seem to believe there are exactly two kinds of Americans: ardent politically-obsessed Bluesky users, and frothing MAGA cultists. There are a LOT of people in this country who just don’t pay a lot of attention one way or another. And we absolutely can reach them.

After a year and a half of writing alt text for Bluesky, it's gotten weird to post images elsewhere without adding alt text. It takes a little getting used to but then just becomes second nature.

Something you can do to stand against RFK jr’s attempt to make us all sicker is wear a mask when you share air with others. Resist mask bans. People who cannot afford to get sick have a right to exist in public. Masking will protect your health from him too.

We need to talk. If you're going to make a "narrative-driven" game, you need to have professional, ergonomic, narrative tools that facilitate narrative pipelines, design, writing, editing, and collaboration with other disciplines, particularly localization, audio and performance (if any).

there is something kind of hysterical about watching the global hegemon abandon its global hegemony simply because its current administration thinks the method of that hegemony is too gay

This is Jerry Lawson. He invented the video game cartridge for the Fairchild Channel F system. Because of his invention, many consoles had cartridges and CD formats and would become the norm. The Atari 2600, NES, Genesis, and many consoles wouldn't exist without him. Happy Black History Month.

This goes for all creative endeavors, not just games: It's never been easier to Do The Thing, but it's getting harder by the day to Make Money Doing The Thing.

Instead of recommending that recently laid off BioWare devs risk everything to start their own studios (lol like it's so easy?) You could take a bit of that energy and buy games from some that already did ☺️ Eternal Strands just launched this week and I'm pretty sure Stray Gods is on sale!
