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

You got W*nd*go in your company/project/group name then I giving you a colossal side eye and wide berth. That is not a casual word. Respect protocols.

just wanna remind people that the person who snitched on luigi got none of the promised reward because of random technicalities. you have nothing to gain by being a rat.

Y'all, @kimkelly.bsky.social wrote a children's book about labor history and I think everyone should preorder it. While our enemies try to erase histories of oppression and liberation, this is a crucial time to keep history alive in our own homes, and wherever people of all ages exchange ideas.

The Abbess Garden will be in the Dames4Games Showcase this Wednesday!!! It is presented by cool streamers, will have a special guest, and includes developers' spotlights 😱 It will be on IGN Youtube and Switch channel at 12 PM (noon) PDT/8 PM GMT :) Thanks D4G 💖 #gamedev #indiegame #womengamedev

I *almost* got scammed by an RPG map brush bundle sale. They were selling assets they didn't own and filling the rest of the bundle with slop. Boo. On the bright side, the investigation led me to this immense CC-0 resource for historical/fantasy map elements. kmalexander.com/free-stuff/f...

In unrelated news the strange plant that I found growing out of the side of a building, took home and manually pollinated is now fruiting. I'm now 90% sure it is a pepper plant. I was 100% sure it was a nightshade but not sure what kind. Still not sure what kind of pepper yet.

OMG. My very niche jam!!!

CEOs STILL NEED TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE

“Of course they want slaves. They been wanting slaves since they lost the civil war! All the labor laws, all that shit, thats to keep them from having slaves!” - my dad, local prophet.

It is the stuttiest, but not the gayest thing he can do. That would be loving his wife.

Judith Butler: "Once you decide that a single vulnerable minority can be sacrificed, you’re operating within a fascist logic, because that means there might be a second one you’re willing to sacrifice, and a third, a fourth, and then what happens?"

I went to a specialist this week for a non-CFS issue and they found a low-grade infection that was probably contributing to my CFS so now I'm laid out again as the REALLY strong antibiotics wreck my system. Technically I AM getting better, but omg anytime someone asks how I'm doing, I'm just: 😭👍👍

Feeling cute. Might delete later.

Hello everyone, Web Game 101 are back! This is a serie of web games to present free game making tools for aspiring game makers. This episode is dedicated to Downpour, the phone application to make and play games! museum-of-screens.itch.io/web-game-101...

Read all of this thread.

Fun flag day fact: Canada's Red Ensign, the flag predating the Maple Leaf, is today used as a dog whistle by the Canadian far right as it represents all those Canadian values they love and the rest of Canada politely ignores... Like racism and stolen land.

time to dig up the @adamkotsko.bsky.social tweet

@tomnomnom.bsky.social hey! We'd love to have you join the Indigenous Game Dev community if you're interested.

We're stoked to introduce the 'No Gen AI' seal for indie games! Indie devs can use it on their game's store page to assure potential players that their game was made without the use of Generative AI. You can grab it from the Polygon Treehouse website:- www.polygon-treehouse.com/no-gen-ai-seal

Please stop believing we don’t owe each other anything. We owe each other so much! We owe each other love, equity, understanding, community, compassion, and much more. Don’t let this toxic hyper individualism cut you off from humanity. We’re all connected. We all need each other.

Sooooooooo..... I'm going to grad school y'all.

Here are some great actions that we can take today rather than wasting time arguing whether or not we saw what we know we did. I did not create the below, but find it quite solid: docs.google.com/document/d/1...

Send us your games and talks, send us your weirdo brainchildren who nobody understands, send us your queer games, larps, workshops, be-ins, and whatever else you've dreamed up since the last time we were together! 💖💖💖

A great block list of MMIW denialists/misinformation bots: bsky.app/profile/did:...

This is how we deal with suspected bots now

I would really, really like to be able to breathe through my nose again.

we added a new label today for Anti-Cyclist content if you see any of this around report it to @labeler.bike.community and we’ll take care of it for you

Boss made a dollar, Grandad made a dime. But that was a poem From a simpler time. Boss made a thousand, Gave my Dad a cent. But that coin paid the mortgage, Or at least it paid the rent. Now bosses make a billion, And give us workers jack. Then smugly blame society, For the labor that they lack.
