In social movement studies, we talk about how marches and protests expand the threshold of acceptable risk so that people take more and bigger social risks IN PUBLIC, EN MASSE. This is extremely important for the bourgeois white folks holding signs and building social rapport.

Local game dev and friend of mine, help her out if you can 💜

Season opener! Rooting for EG and 100T 🙏🎉

LAX might be the only walkable part of Los Angeles

Got a few DMs along the lines of “if you hate games so much why make em”

But babes - I don’t hate games. I fuckin love em. They’re my favorite art form. I love working on them. They’re complex, weird, and gorgeous.

It’s because I love them that I want the people who make them to be treated better

Hi! you're passing it on already to one of the people who works on this kind of thing :)

Really appreciate the feedback on Harbor! Can't say much for now sadly but hopefully soon.

self-care reminder: take a break to slouch in your chair. tense up those shoulders. drink an iced coffee to dehydrate. stay up unreasonably late.

The 1993 Mario Bros. movie is unironically a great movie.

I think dying to Neon will always activate a small toxic part of my brain no matter how hard I try to hold it in 😂

To clarify this as well - those map pings will still show up on your whole teams mini map (the upper left map).

Year five of hormones and my body is still changing. I wish I could my 1 year on hrt self that this isn’t the end!

Daily. :) I highly recommend it.

Ye it’s very much this uncomplicated. I’ll just add that my personal line for this is substantially less than 1billion dollars but it is a catchier line to draw :P

Is there anyway to see what starter packs I am personally in?

Me out loud to no one:

Hinder-ed and Hind-red are spelled the same. Well, good thing Hind-red isn't a word.

We need to collectively understand these are *recent* battles marginalized people have won. This work is old, but the results are new. Do not be discouraged by short term losses, no matter how crushing.

The short memory of Americans on so many on issues of human equality is wild.

It was not until 1974 woman were able to take out a bank account without the approval of men.

In the 90s, interracial marriage had a sub 50% approval rating nationally.

California voted against gay marriage in 2008.

Literally this.

If you are a cis person, even if you are an expert in some field that affects trans people, and you *think* you know some facts about trans people, I can almost guarantee you believe some things that are insanely wrong.

What game is this lady from chat help me

Kinda have to replay the level to be better than this guy

Historians thought this trans woman was murdered by the Nazis, but she escaped and lived to be 74 We've always been here, and even in the darkest times - we will survive through them. We'll always be here

🏳️‍⚧️ Dora Richter, one of the first trans femmes known to have medically transitioned was thought to have been murdered at the Nazi raid on the world’s first transgender clinic, actually survived, recently discovered documents revealed this summer👇

Misubishi’s very best 7 cassette changer, an orbit, and Klipsch Fives. Lovely little home setup :)

New policy // #VALORANT

Riot Games will now ban content creators that promote Boosting and the Buying/Selling accounts, across the board for all their games

New policy takes effect January 3, 2025

A shitload of conservative accounts are flooding bluesky because they have no one to argue with on twitter.

Block them and move on. Do not engage. Simply wait for the inevitable thinkpiece where they are qouter whining that no one will argue with them and that makes them sad.

Well if you want to chat sometime about making your way into the industry lmk feel free to shoot me a DM and we can talk!

because it takes UE4 fifteen minutes to reopen itself

A UE4 crash is an ADHD shock to my system that takes fifteen minutes to recover from 😓

I suffer from this as well and I’ve been able to find a correlation between pushing down hard-ish with the capped needle being painful in a particular spot and the correlated shot also being painful. Now I just poke around my thigh until I find the least tender spot and inject there. :)

Unity handing the game engine market on a platter to epic will have some medium-bad long term consequences.

I remember thinking they were going to turn it around when they announced visual scripting like 8 years ago 😂

Not that I can tell.

We will have to see how it plays out. I remember when Discord was amazing to use, and now it’s become another bloated scope crept app ruined by capitalism.

Hopefully the same fate doesn’t befall Bluesky - though I get fooled every time into thinking it won’t. 🥲
