Ah yes, the old "just start your own company!!" advice coming from, you guessed it, a white dude.

Me, a year ago to a new person trying to get into games: Don't. Find another job and wait it out like 3-4 years. Other people: DON'T TELL THEM THAT. Me now: I haaaaate that I was right.

I'm glad I don't get asked for career advice as much anymore. I can't in good faith encourage anyone trying to break into the industry right now. It's messed up. We need juniors. We need new faces and ideas. But it's not a good place to start a career and not a good place to rest your future on.

The stock market is cancer for creative industries. The codified fiduciary duty to glorified gamblers who simply bought stock is poison to long term decision making and good business strategy. The human cost alone should be enough. But capitalism doesn't serve us, in the end.

I struggle to put into words how essential this weekend was for my overall wellbeing. Time spent with some of my closest friends, wearing a cool costume and embracing a world with fundamentally different problems than thus one, and contributing to something bigger than myself... It's healing.

I'm excited for my next larp event next week and honestly I'd be losing my entire shit if it weren't for this amazing community and the full mind and body immersion to this sport and hobby. It's such a positive distraction but fuck me it's doing some heavy lifting right now.

Yeah I am well and truly fucked if they restrict access to my meds. I was a different person before and I refuse to go back.

Dude pals: if your protective instincts rear, and you start wanting to fight battles for your lady pals, recognize that what we need from you is simply to help us keep the ability to fight those battles ourselves, not to fight them for us.

CW: suicide Her name was Kerri Moynihan. She was real woman whose life, and death, were real. Her loss to her loved ones is real. Their grief is real. Her passing's relationship to how she was treated at Blizzard was real. Shame on you, Bobby. May you never have to lose a loved one in that way.

I will keep saying this over and over from issue to issue, trying to reach the folks who actually need to hear it... it's not "politics" when it's existential.

Finding it very hard to function today. Doing my silly little tasks for my silly little job has never felt more meaningless than it does today.

Tomorrow/Wednesday is the weird anniversary of Crop Circle's closure. We found out at 11:20pm Sunday, February 4th that our entire studio was furloughed effective immediately. Most folks woke up to that email. The chaos that ensued after will forever be burned into my memory.

I am very interested and engaged with the goings on in the world but I need to curate my media diet so I don't have a panic attack every time I open this app. I am now following various climate feeds but I have unfollowed most scientists. Your work is extremely important. Want that noted.

That zen little rainstorm went a long way toward soothing what ails me. The cloudy but dry forecast has me depressed. :( At least it's gonna be cool again.

Obligatory rain post... I forgot how lovely rain smells. I've missed this. I probably live in the wrong state given how much I love rain.
