what people who don't play games don't understand about him paying other people to do things which he imagines himself as having done then fumbles remarkably badly in ways apparent even to total beginners when he takes control with his unearned confidence is that's all he's ever done with everything

If you really want to fight back develop a crush on someone and write bad poetry about them. Make a mix tape. Love like you're a teenager, it's unbelievably freeing for the soul. Write their name in a notebook over and over. Sigh wistfully. Keep your heart alive.

This, so much- I play games to connect with humans. The best connections include in-person interactions. It's just what being human means. And I think the increasingly digital nature of life and gaming is really costing us societally. #gamedev #indiedev #gamedesign 🧵

Gonna be straight with yall. You should've been off Twitter a long time ago. I know alot of yall are artists who have gigantic followings and all that and it's tough to start anew. But you should absolutely do it. Besides the occasional viral tweet, your reach just isn't truthful.

Fantastic advice from Nadia Itch.io is full of incredible games, so damn many, and you've got to make sure what you're marketing counts Use the tag system well, create a theme that suits your game, solid screenshots, descriptions & content warnings This is your game's resume, it deserves polish

At Dollywood there's a whole part of her museum (The Dolly Parton Experience) talking about Imagination Library. She started it in honor of her dad, who never learned to read. She considers it one of the most important facets of her legacy. Doing away with it is "comic book villain" levels of evil.
