25 de Abril sempre! Fascismo nunca mais! (Foto de @maaleo.bsky.social)

This is the norm. Expect some layoff anytime a large project is over. Don't count your job as safe. Take care of your career and plan your next moves in advance. (This is not an endorsement by any means. It's effed up. But it is what it is.)

Unspoken truth: a huge % in gamedev is believing in yourself. It all starts with that. ✨ Especially if you are coming from a marginalised background.

O bolsonarismo é exatamente isso aqui

“O Estado deve esclarecer e julgar todos os crimes cometidos durante a ditadura, porque se isso não acontecer, nada impede que eles sigam sendo praticados impunemente”. “Ainda Estou Aqui” chegou hoje ao catálogo da Globoplay.

Chesse sale: full fridge, never eaten.

Hope it was worth it to stop a few of us from peeing.

To all those dorks that said "violence never fixes anything!" I would like to offer a counter-argument:

The cruelty may not necessarily be the point, but the self interest certainly is. And, well

Oh boy...

For the first time in many years, I spent April 1st without receiving any April fools message. (The only references I heard is people saying "No April Fools' message today"). This felt great. And then today I saw one... on effing LinkedIn. Which is becoming as toxic as the toxic social medias...

Absolutely tired of the psychodrama of one country being the problem of the entire planet.

If the creature does it for fun, it's a Hobbit. If the creature does it for money, it's a Jobbit.

It was the Dunning of tymes. It was the Kruger of tymes.

Abolish April Fool’s day. Society has moved past the need for April Fool’s day

This is a real post on X and it makes me profoundly sad. Maybe that’s the point There’s the performative cruelty and rejoicing in suffering, the co-opting a beloved artist’s style for smug, racist sadism. And it’s the official White House account. A deep evil is upon us. Very dark times for America

This. It's not like we're getting a choice here. Part of my grief is that we're losing it, actually. With all its problems, all alternative realistic scenarios are not promising to be any better. And that's on those effing n*zis some of you decided should be elected (not just in US, BTW)

Classe média falando "Mas se taxarem grandes fortunas vão levar o dinheiro embora do país"

My favorite kind of Steam Review is the ones with 20+ hours and a thumbs down and it boils down to "after you beat it, there's nothing to do" My guy, you played a $5 indie for twenty hours and you had fun the whole time. Imagine eating a meal and rating it negatively because you finished it.

Há cinco anos o mundo começava a seguir um caminho muito cruel.

If you’re going to GDC, here are some tips: Don’t try to get someone drunk. Don’t spike anyone’s drink. Don’t touch anyone without explicit permission. Don’t assault anyone. You will be found out and there will be consequences.

That's why people controlling narratives are so powerful (and so dangerous). People can be convinced. For that to happen, they need to be exposed to new arguments. The sad part of that is those arguments don't need to be true - but when you preach love, things like this happen:

I can't remember the last time I saw an article just focus on this. Not that they've bent the truth or misrepresented a few facts a little, but that every single solitary thing that the GOP says on the topic is a stone cold lie with absolutely no basis in reality. ftw.usatoday.com/story/sports...
