You might know me from a past life in the games industry. I used to go by Eve. These days I mostly touch grass, do rock climbing, go biking, take photos, and listen to music.

Learned that I am being laid off from Heart Machine, and will be leaving the studio later this month.

Do you need a contractor? I've got a track record of leading scope-friendly script revisions late in dev. I have also done a lot of consulting on new IPs and pitches/demos. Feel free to DM me!

A man is burning to death. He says "Help ME! Oh God I'm burning to death!' As his flesh melts he shrieks "AHHHH THE AGONY!" He shouts "help me! help me!" to two other men watching him die. One man says "bro's crashing out." The other one winces and says "cringe."

Editorial: The only option is defunding, not reforming | Opinions Nooran Rezayi, a 15-year-old child, was murdered by Longueuil police on Sept. 21. We cannot trust the system to deliver justice to itself. Defunding the police and funding youth and crisis services is...

"If we are serious about reducing police violence, contact with armed officers must fall. That means defunding: reallocating money from police budgets to services that prevent harm and resolve conflict without guns." Excellent editorial from The Link. thelinknewspaper.ca/article/edit...

Pls join us in following the Global Sumud Flotilla as it attempts to break Israel’s starvation siege of Gaza.

It will make more noise if more people are watching on YouTube.

So far over 60,000 people are following live.

Creators of Reigns, Streets of Rage and Saturnalia launch Palestinian Voices in Gaming to support indies from Gaza and the West Bank Several prominent indie game studios have launched a support network for Palestinian projects such as Being 2, RiYafa, Pomegranates and Dreams on a Pillow.

Phenomenal write-up of Palestinian Voices in Games by @rockpapershotgun.bsky.social. Still very proud to be supporting the initiative, and happy to see attention for it. If you want to help out, check out the link via the article!

sometimes games are made with duct tape & paperclips accidentally, under poor production process.

but sometimes games are made with duct tape & paperclips that a dev REALLY LOVED and MADE THEMSELVES and it would be insensitive and morally wrong to replace it with store-bought metal rods

"Selling Out Is Bad" is a valuable concept and despite all the baggage and bullshit and elitism it could contain it's actually really good to reinforce the ideal that having integrity when it matters, especially when it hurts, is what good/cool people do. Should be adapted instead of jettisoned.

I'm watching that documentary "Before Stonewall" about gay history
pre-1969, and uncovered something which I think is interesting.

The documentary includes a brief clip of a 1954 televised newscast
about the rise of homosexuality. The host of the program interviewed
psychologists, a police officer, and one "known homosexual". The
"known homosexual" is 22 years old. He identifies himself as Curtis
White, which is a pseudonym; his name is actually Dale Olson.
So I tracked down the newscast. According to what I can find, Dale
Olson may have been the first gay man to appear openly on television
and defend his sexual orientation. He explains that there's nothing
wrong with him mentally and he's never been arrested. When asked
whether he'd take a cure if it existed, he says no. When asked whether
his family knows he's gay, he says that they didn't up until tonight, but
he guesses they're going to find out, and he'll probably be fired from
his job as well. So of course the host is like ... why are you doing this
interview then? and Dale Olson, cool as cucumber pie, says "I think
that this way I can be a little useful to someone besides myself."

1954. 22 years old. Balls of pure titanium.

Despite the pseudonym, Dale's boss did indeed recognize him from
the TV program, and he was promptly fired the next day. He wrote into
ONE magazine six months later to reassure readers that he had gotten
a new job at a higher salary.
Curious about what became of him, I looked into his life a little further.
It turns out that he ultimately became a very successful publicity
agent. He promoted the Rocky movies and Superman. Not only that,
but get this: Dale represented Rock Hudson, and he was the person
who convinced him to disclose that he had AIDS! He wrote the
statement Rock read. And as we know, Rock Hudson's disclosure had
a very significant effect on the national conversation about AIDS in the
U.S.
