Happier post: we moved into our new home two weeks ago! It's been consuming so much of my mental capacity for the last few months that it's actually hard to overstate the relief of it all being sorted.

I know the good folks making the games aren't the ones to blame, but I'm so bored of companies chasing loser shit like NFTs and AI. Then, when it inevitably fails, it's the employees who suffer.

Famous last words, but I think once the final part of FF7 comes out that'll be me done with Square-Enix games. Constantly chasing the latest grift trend is so utterly at odds with what I loved about their games growing up.

I haven't been able to find a paying project for months. Can you help? Every share is appreciated.

How to Support Trans People in All 50 States A curated list of 100 organizations supporting trans rights and livelihood to which you can donate.

Trans people are under attack by an administration looking for scapegoats.

Besides this list of organizations, donate to individual trans folks asking for help and contact your reps to tell them you won't support anyone who doesn't support trans rights.

It's called Qแดœแด€ษดแด›แดœแด แด๊œฐ ษชแดแดแด‡ส€๊œฑษชแดษด and it will be extremely nerdy. It's about making video games that are ษชแดแดแด‡ส€๊œฑษชแด แด‡ on purpose. Rather than, you know, by accident.

On a happier note - I'll be at AdventureX this year. Missed the last one as my partner tested positive for Covid in the run up, so I'm very much looking forward to this one!

Thank you! :) Ooof, it's both comforting that we've only reached 26 so far and a little distressing that it might reach as high as 70!๐Ÿ˜… This was our 4th failed attempt so far. I thought experiencing the game dev job search would prepare me a bit for this, but nope, the emotional toll is rough haha.

House goes to closing date.

Stop payment processors from censoring games!

Hey, it would mean so much to me if y'all kept up the pressure with phone calls to payment processors to show to them how much people care and that they can't just ignore itโ€”my livelihood depends on adult games not being censored!

this is disgusting, and very, very telling. not only of their racism, but of their confidence that they will face no consequences for it
