The latest Covid variant (razor blade throat) seems to have increased transmissibility resulting in more people ending up in hospital. Most healthcare systems haven’t adopted clean air standards or mandatory respirator use. Hospital acquired COVID has a 10% fatality rate My guide to avoiding it

the Final Fantasy MTG cards look nice, but I think this is too much flavor text for a card

In the rush to have a worthwhile discussion if Gen AI is reclaimable for leftists, people miss one of its biggest dangers to art—homogenization. It cranks out status quo narratives, reinforcing hegemonic ideals as it flattens expression. The danger isn’t JUST workforce automation—it’s normalization.

I need women to hear this and hear it loudly. That lil' "pooch" bump is adorable as all hell. I know you are bombarded by messaging saying otherwise, but that is bullshit talk by fools unworthy of your time. It's hella cute. Get loved. Get absolutely adored you goddesses.

Biggest commitment to a 3 second joke I've ever seen

"Those who have drank the AI Kool-Aid don't understand that all this brainstorming and iteration *is* making the game, it’s a crucial everyday part of game development (and human interaction) and is not a problem to be solved.”

Disabled people have been warning for years that the pandemic response (or lack thereof) was going to lead to fascism We begged you to wear a mask. To fight for clean air. To refuse “the vulnerable” aside just because you wanted to to “back to normal” Include us in resistance efforts. We can help

Okay lets game this out: You are a Nintendo employee given unlimited funds and authority to move Switch 2 production to the US. No new factories, that's going to take way too long, you need to work with existing American Contract Manufacturing capacity. How fast can you do it? 1/x

Famously, World War Two was won by pointing out the many provable hypocrisies of the axis ideologies.

SCREAMING I’m obsessed with this mash up!!!! They looked so good 😭

GDC is a reminder that all my peers are some combination of hot smart creative unhinged neurodiverse theater kid goblins creating magic and fantasy using tools made from duct tape and dollar store staples.

Things COVID has proven: 1) The job you were told couldn’t be done remotely, can be done remotely. 2) Many disabled workers could have been working from home, but corporations just didn’t want them to. 3) Internet is a utility and not a luxury. 4) Universal healthcare is a necessity.

God I wish I listened when I was in my 20s. I am completely fucked up now.

90% of writing happens away from the keyboard. In the shower. On a walk. In the car. Wherever you & your thoughts are alone together, that's when writing happens. If you find yourself stuck, staring at a blinking cursor, unable to find the words, don't be afraid to step away & find somewhere quiet.

The US is no longer safe for foreign nationals. Do not come here. You risk being arbitrarily detained, tortured, and put into solitary confinement without due process.

We've been working real hard on this! It would mean the world to us if you could have a gander, share, or even back this project!

“cynicism isn’t intellectually superior” is so important

Not me literally scanning raw chicken for my game

I'm not sure which of you need to hear this, but: If you push yourself to your limits and burn out for a company, you are trading years of your future productivity for minor gains in the present. Burning out will _fuck you up_, it's like brain fog or depression, and it takes years to recover

So with almost all digital game stores being based in the US,this could seriously fuck up the type of games we can release. We're not talking about small titles either. We're talking about Baldur's Gate 3, Disco Elysium, Cyberpunk and so on. 1/2
