There's still time to fill this out - the more writers share their experiences being credited (or omitted from credits!) in games, the easier it will be for us to improve credits for everyone in the industry!

Even if Duolingo is helping you as it once did me, deleting your account is the only correct move right now. The company posted record profits, but capitalist greed means they're killing jobs, lowering quality, and will be creating an increasingly inferior experience for increasingly higher prices.

I've been trying to figure out a word for games that seems to seal up all gaps in between work and sleep (caulkgames? Heh heh..agh). The throughline of caulkgames goes to casinos, but only recently it feels in games it's taken a celebrity-esque turn with the age of streaming and solo devving
