I hope workers in other game studios see WoTC unionizing, and see the mass layoffs and BioWare closing and decide it's time to put their foot down. What do we have to lose by unionizing? A job that you're afraid every day you'll be laid off from anyway? UNIONIZE THE GAME INDUSTRY!

The cool thing about “everyone just has to go indie and you also have to support your favourite indie projects” is like… not only is it difficult to find shareholders to invest in such things, but a lot of the people who WOULD support them monetarily as an audience, can’t afford to rn.

has always had shuttered doors & empty businesses. But in the last two months i counted at least 5 more small shops closed. Some of which have been there for YEARS. When you create a job market where only mid and upper management have retained employment & mid and entry level workers that used ->

I’ve been floating around indie spheres since the webcomic boom of the late 2000s. Not only is it Harder to find projects to invest in because the market is oversaturated, but i’m in a creative-adjacent industry and haven’t had a stable job in over a year. I went downtown the other day - which ->

I know it was important for Lara to walk on her own in the finale. But i hope if her legs keep bothering her that she’ll get a mobility aid or two. #sayolara

A question from Reddit that I'll answer here: "What's the most unhinged thing a doctor has said to you with a straight face?"
