It was storming earlier, and we had lightning and thunder which sent Castle into hiding under the bed. He finally came out for dinner, but he refuses to eat, unless I sit next to him on the floor.

CREEPY REDNECK DINOSAUR MANSION 3 IS A GAME THAT EXISTS YOU CAN WISHLIST IT YOU CAN PLAY IT IN STEAM NEXT FEST IT'S A SURVIVAL HORROR-THEMED MATCH-3 METROIDVANIA AND THERE IS NO CREEPY REDNECK DINOSAUR MANSION 2 store.steampowered.com/app/2116510/...

The tech industry loves contract workers for a reason. Many game devs are classified as independent contractors, who legally cannot unionize in some places.

Two days ago, the hyperfocus hit HARD. I spent 12 hours (only pausing for food, water, & bathroom) building an app I’ve wanted for a decade. I’m not a coder, but I powered through—I’m so excited and proud with how much I got done! #IndieDev #NonCoderDev #PassionProject #BuiltItMyself

Still unemployed and still looking for a new job with a pay that actually meets industry standards given my years of experience. I’ve had enough recruiters that I need both hands to count contact me about roles with an hourly pay equivalent to or less than what I was making 8 years ago 😑

If you see this, post a GIF from your favourite Studio Ghibli film.

The “you’re not alone” comments don’t help me feel any better when the situation is this bad. The world is a trash fire right now and I just want a job so I can afford to pay my ridiculous rent and replace my toaster.

Got laid off a few weeks ago, and was going to apply for Cobra health insurance but you have to pay the full initial premium… I don’t have $1057 to pay it. I got laid off. This is absurd. I hate our healthcare system.

Not too long ago, my driver-side seatbelt broke and the repair cost was $800. I was pretty frustrated about the whole situation. I knotted it MacGyver-style so that I could at least drive to get groceries….

Welp… I was just told I was being let go due to budget cuts. Today is my last. Anyone need a Producer or Associate Producer… cause I need a job. #gamejobs #videogameindustry #unemployedbeforetheholidaysucks

Just recalled a threat I once used in a work meeting XD “Look, someone here needs to explain this in simple terms or I’m sending Loren Ipsum to the devs.”

Lost power last night and woke up to find out power is out for like 600k people. Stay safe everyone

I hear this is where people are now so I guess it’s time for me to join the party.
