We're looking to add some writers to our team, plus an artist to do some merch designs for us! If you're interested, please send in an app! I like to think we are pretty fun to work with, but I may also be biased.

TN has terrible labor laws for employees and supports the corporations so this makes perfect sense for a shitty company to do.

An Argument of Designers.

And keep an eye out for this, whenever it happens. I reckon we're all pretty strapped for scratch these days but I also reckon that we need to look out for each other, especially in a job landscape that's looking more and more like salted earth every day.

Sentona Games stole $24,000 worth of labor from this writer and now refuses to pay her what she's owed.

Ilja Immler and Andrea Glavačević Jakubi are listed as the co-founders of Sentona Games.

Do not do work for Sentona Games. Do not do work with Ilja Immler or Andrea Jakubi.

Anecdotal but if you use any software in a use case even slightly outside its golden path, and you find it mysteriously breaking in like "docs say it does X and it definitely does not" kinds of ways, there's like a 90% chance its traceable to an LLM-authored commit.

Introduce it this way. She can be boss, she just shouldn't be the first one you see because it sets an impression of what this game will be and it's not a good one."

While o was at Blizzard I got to play the early build of the BlizzCon reveal demo of D4.

I spent 30+ minutes explaining that having the one boss you could fight be 1. Massively overweight and 2. Be a woman was bad and they shouldn't do it.

"This is people's introduction to the game, you shouldn't-

someone please give Laura two million dollars. the world needs whatever that would result in.

Ooooof.

Thanks! It's my stupid Covid/Flu shots. If they follow previous timelines, I will magically feel better tomorrow morning. XD

YAY!!! It's really @resteiner.com's recommendation. He did all the work and I have gotten the rewards.

It's even worse, I'm a 43 year old woman in games. I'm not only a woman but also OLD.

Practically invisible.

My posts never get turned into articles which I assume is just an extension of being a woman in games.

When you discover the same woman who screwed you out of twenty grand did the exact same shit to several other people a few years ago so you decide to pivot from being resigned to destroying her life

Note to all game developers: don't ever post about anything unless you're ready for that post to turn into a series of wildly inaccurate news articles.

Cars DID a great job of making it interesting.

See, you're a cool person. XD

When you're sick and your partner makes you your favorite trash sick food.

Mine is ramen noodles without the liquid. Just prepare the noodles then dump out the water. Then add the seasoning to the noodles.

Anyway, my arm is still swollen and red.

It's like all these tech bros forgot we cut our teeth on Napster.

I have 1-6 on the light novels. XD

I'm obsessed. I love it all so much.

Yes, I came back to find this post after I saw it.

Which part? XD

Also, as a kid who grew up in an evangelical home, boy does her standup <resonate>.

Me, talking on Reddit and Bluesky lately: there's not really an industry to blackball me from anymore. So who cares?

You need sleep! Sleep! I know you aren't Pacific time either!
