Anne Crow

Well played

Its not to blame creatives for crunch, more so that in an ideal world we don't live in, managers would be looking out for them by forcing them to be done after a certain point before it becomes caustic to themselves. Unfortunately we live in a capitalist hellscape, joy.

I often think about this annecdote I heard somewhere about how you need to manage creatives, because they will otherwise crunch themselves into a burnout. Somewhere along, we made those creatives managers, and we told the managers they needed perfection without time, so crunch just exists.

We're constantly made to feel like our worth is our work, that to get seen and get the attention we want, we need to be perfect, to do the very best we always can, and after a certain point that pressure is just toxic for yourself and your own work. You cannot make the perfect work. Let go.

You know recent talk about stuff (yes, its Uchikoshi related) has made me think again on how important it is to just be DONE with a piece of work, like after a certain point you just gotta say "i'm done send it" you can't just do constant revisions forever. And as a creative, that hits hard.

Why do we persist in making games despite weeks like this one? This:

I want my foreign friends to understand the magnitude of this popular mobilization against fascism. 90-year-olds in wheelchairs, isolated Indigenous communities walking miles, and poor neighborhoods fighting for hours after far-right mayors halted buses to suppress votes. And we won.

Can confirm. Early vote, folks!

Happy full moon to my fellow lycanthropes ! And a most happy on my side because tonight I gotta play again my favorite werewolf blorbo of all time; my dnd bard Aisling #werewolf #dnd

I’m not a political journalist, so was gladly surprised at the community I found here last night. To Americans anxious about the upcoming elections, a key thing we learned in Brazil that might help you: DO NOT engage with the far-right online. Don’t share rage bait. Amplify your people. Ignore them.

I love being reminded that the audience really doesn’t give a shit about the developers. Like, forget that one of the most influential studios in our industry was just executed by its publisher, just make sure the product continues on the assembly lines!

Niu Lai fandom rise up

Gosh the weekend is over already. I don't feel ready for work tomorrow or going to bed even XvX

we should all be pissed off at this btw. if not because sex work is legitimate work and should be treated with respect, then because you should be concerned at attempts to gentrify online spaces as pretext to court investors and force out minorities so those spaces can become part of a portfolio.

It was supposed to be just a small joke animation of my Necromancer when there's yet another soul coming to HER gates due to other wizards shenanigan... but I got carried away :,) #SevenPartPact

Still eternally funny to me that META the multi billion dollar company can't get legs to work in VR space meanwhile furries working on their own time have functional tails and quadrupedal locomotion

the desire for segregation of nsfw and sfw content seems to be a gateway that leads down the path of systemically lessening visibility for queer artists. not sure what to do about that

the red line for me will always be when social media sites attempt to police content beyond the scope of their web domain. it means folks who are not interested in being verified via bluesky will not be able to reach my content in other places because of decisions to limit visibility like this

I think link moderation is a bad idea.

Enormous news. A melanoma vaccine, one of the most deadly cancers out there. Science is good and helpful and there should be more of it. www.washingtonpost.com/health/2026/...

shout out to all the artists trying to pay the bills and grappling with that feeling of desperation and uncertainty while trying to maintain creative fluency and a hopeful outlook that maybe “today will be the day things get a tiny bit easier”

the lineup. Whipped up the first in 2020 to be festive over an n95. I gave away the second half-mask and the top part of the third one broke at one point.

Video games has decided to discontinue its once leading product, the video game

shoutout to my case worker for being illiterate, shoutout to every predatory fucking loan servicer, shoutout to the soulless banks, shoutout to unanswered job applications, shoutout to the adhd i cant get medicated, and shoutout to the same $20 we all pass around as we lift each other up. thx babes
