In a world where so much of capital is aggressively and actively trying to hollow out the arts and destroy the livelihoods of working artists, I don't think we need to be mad that a rich kid used their wealth to fund a a passion project that everyone loves

Just a couple of days until I head to Berlin to attend @amazefest.bsky.social for the first time! 'I Write Games Not Tragedies' has an Open Screens slot, 6pm on 16 May (the Friday). Come say hi/try out our game! #indiegames #playfulmedia 2025.amaze-berlin.de/openscreens/...

No make up no filter (but done hair) selfie 💜 My friend says I am a “autistic forest fairy.” 🧚 Lil bit problematic but I’ll take it 😂

Throwback to Taipei Game Show, where we became award-winning Diamonds in the Rough 😅🤣 Since then, my boyfriend has taken to "encouraging" me by saying "more diamond less rough," whenever I want to flake on a funding application or networking event or smth 💀 youtube.com/shorts/1KA_a...

The Heaven's Vault novels get a mention in @theguardian.com today in an article about games writers and novels (thanks, @hollygramazio.bsky.social)!

Catholic core. My brother is no longer Catholic, but brings the energy to his CofE church mates. They have a group chat called “thirsting after righteousness” to organise their after church pub sessions 🍻

Turbulent few weeks, thank god I live close to bluebell woods

I've seen some people saying how "AI"-generated text is now as good as certain published authors, and honestly I think it's really brave for these folks to admit in public how poor their reading comprehension has to be

It's been a while since I've done this, and the world is bleak - so we can all use a little art & creativity. What is everyone creating nowadays? Games, art, music, video, writing, anything - whether it is early, almost done, or just shipped. Feel free to include trailers, images, links - whatever.

We are disappointed but not surprised that Meta has used millions of pirated books to develop its AI systems. As a matter of urgency, Meta needs to compensate the rightsholders of all the works it has been exploiting. But what can authors do? Read here: societyofauthors.org/2025/03/21/t...

The only plus of jet lag is this is the only time I will get up at 6am for a run #eppingforest

This Japan trip was so wonderful, professionally and personally. As an ex-Tokyoite, it was so wonderful to show I Write Games Not Tragedies in my old home! Thanks to everyone we met at Tokyo Indie Games summit 💜 #gamedevelopment #indiedev #tokyo
