Wow it's happening! Me and my bestie have started recording videos together to help each other grow as artists and creators <3 If you'd like to see a couple of queer creators yap and draw together then maybe you'd like this? 👉👈 youtu.be/UBbsFuW9Weg?...

“Separate the art from the artist” is a nuanced concept that should be reserved for dead creators only, whose legacies we have to grapple with in the context of history. It should NOT be used for living creators actively doing harm. That’s my two cents.

Made a Cupcake Baking Sim game with @seagoatgames.bsky.social for the #girlygamejam 💅 seagoatgames.itch.io/reincarnated... We made this game from scratch in 6 days, so there will be some bugs! Nothing game-breaking though (I hope) #gamedev #indiegamedev #pixelart

Seen the new pokemon starters but what do you mean those are not just fanart of other starters.. Is this not just Alola starters + sad Galar lizard? Have we moved on from Pickachu clones to starter clones? 🫠

K Pop Demon Hunters was, as everyone is saying, very very very good. It is going to alter some kids' brain chemistry forever. Tumblrmanning the boys was a diabolical move (positive)

Reframing “dream job” as “dream role-in-my-community” has me feeling optimistic about work for the first time in a long time

If you are making $, by arresting ppl who are being sent to concentration camps without due process, you are on the wrong side of history. You are not a patriot. You are not "just doing your job." You will not be protected when they come for you.

Our DS-inspired adventure game is coming to PC and Switch this year! A woman goes missing on a cross-country train, but nobody remembers her ever existing in the first place; except for you. 🕵️ Fans of Famicom Detective Club, Ace Attorney, or Hotel Dusk take note 👀 #indie3

Most folks seem to think designing a game is either impossible or easy It’s both

Always pretty nice to see that collage pop-up here and there from time to time . www.reddit.com/r/lgbt/comme... #warhammer40k #warhammercommunity

The people taking food out of starving peoples mouths, making strangers feel unwelcome, and bullying those worse off than themselves, and hating on people, will be quoting Jesus at you today. Think about that.

president of el salvador is literally dripping with anger in this post with how it’s worded he was forced to have any level of accountability to prove a guy accidently sent their wasn’t murdered

We also have to be careful that we don’t use “it’s not for everyone” as a way to dismiss other people’s criticisms for games we think are good. - I thought the side quests were repetitive. - Well the game isn’t for everyone. ^ Is a refusal to engage with the critique.

Hey y'all! I'm teaching another workshop! I've done a few of these, but this is the first time I'll be covering how to draw characters. This is also a great way to support me and my work directly if you've ever wanted to do that! It'll be on June 28th, 10am PDT! www.brainstormschool.com/workshops

Victim complex

"When protesting has worked against authoritarian regimes in Europe, it's because it has been recurrent. We need persistence." #Maddow

“The protesters are being paid” A: No, obviously. B: Conservative voters in Wisconsin were being paid with the chance for a million dollars and then STILL lost. By a lot. What’s your excuse?

Amazing to see their reactions when they realize politics affects every aspect of your life. Just amazing.

"Well I'll just play cheaper indie games!" GREAT! PLEASE DO!

Overwatch and Valorant study shows frequent sexual harassment, abuse

When Hitler started ranting about the Jews from streetcorners in the 1920s, he was part of a long history of European anti-Semitism. But where in the world did this massive anti-trans campaign come from? I feel like it was invented out of whole cloth in the last five years.

You know that famous picture of Nazis burning a giant pile of books in the 1930s? It was at the Berlin Institute for Sexual Science, which was the world's foremost research institution for sex and gender studies at the time. It was where some of the first ever gender reassignment surgeries were done

'Lazy' is, virtually 100% of the time, used as an insult or a statement of ignorance with no basis in reality, regardless of context.

I was going to do a video review about Wanderstop, a game about burnout, but I figured it would be against the spirit of the thing to do something so involved when I, myself, am the most burnt out I’ve ever been. So here’s an article instead: medium.com/@voidburger/...

I drew this chimera falin and marcille for dokomi a little while ago. I really had fun with it, it's always a meditation whenever I get to line stuff like this.

Re: "video game players SAY they don't want romance yet almost all interact with romance mechanics" I would ask "is it more likely they're all in denial or that a significant amount of content in games, say party member characterization and backstory, require engagement with the romance mechanics?"

No amount of executive orders can make us cease to exist.

I don't understand the mentality of people who try to gatekeep something and then complain no one actually plays/watches it, like, motherfucker, you literally accomplished what you set out to achieve.

The pursuit of hyper realism in video games is contributing to a serious lack of gameplay and story quality. Give me blocky polygons, billboard 2D sprites, a Super Nintendo soundfont and a fun game please.

yeah fuck this shit!!!
