'my machine is conscious.
if you don't agree with me, you better be able to demonstrate how human consciousness works, or you're a prejudiced BIGOT!!'
..no, like, you see..this is precisely why people don't take you or this technology seriously
In a competitive field where it is hard to stand out, to truly shine for national transphobia, the UK and NHS are absolutely knocking it out of the park. They looked and looked and only found 1 study on puberty blockers + oestrogen
Others try and transphobe but we are world class transphobes
these days......
Great news, cuties! ✨

i love following up. i love checking in. circling back. any word. would love a status update. lmk. i do not have an anxiety disorder fyi
Just once it'd be nice to make a called shot like this for something positive instead of something utterly utterly dire.
This is absolutely what will happen when young trans people rationally stop seeking NHS "care" that offers nothing more than conversion therapy appointments.
Replies cheered me up, NGL
This dreck is just astroturfed, and if devs flatly refuse to work with the trash they're pushing to desperately save their poorly managed portfolios, eventually it will have to go away.
You're right. That was my mistake. I deleted your entire inventory while you were sleeping in the inn. That is absolutely my fault.

I think the reason being, it's a material thing, unlike the 'kill all [tgirls]' deal
The fact that GDC is still this monolith looming over industry holding its collective knowledge ransom, that the industry itself is collapsing.. they're very real and tactile, unlike hate. It's fresh for a minute.
you have more in common with a homeless person than *any* member of the gentry. remember that and don't forget it -- class issues and disparities affect movements far, far more than we talk about, particularly within marginalized groups.
I tell you what, actually.
The lil burst of games news prompting me to whine about GDC and bizdev is actually a surprisingly refreshing reprieve from the other bleak immiseration and suffering which is the current landscape of my community's civil rights lmao
Kicking off GDC with a HOT TAKE.
You’ve probably heard video games are fighting to keep people’s attention, especially in an age of prediction markets, Onlyfans, etc.
But really, who cares??? We shouldn’t be trying to compete with them!
If you want to look for attention economy explanations maybe consider the general vanishing of leisure time and the obliteration of people's ability to do things outside of work, which favors mind-numbing slop content like scrolling tiktok over more engaging entertainment like books or games.
Time has a way of forcing the issue, eventually.

i have more followers than the new CEO of this platform
Those at #GDC this year, please use the platform to speak and further discussion among attendees & organizers about those of your peers who have been systematically frozen out of participation through no fault of their own.
We need to work on solutions to this, and accessibility of the vault.
lol do your part and heckle your local AI stand at the games conference
Like for real, I mean the audacity to be running these outfits right now amidst the worst layoffs crisis..in part driven by things like MSoft's overinvestment in AI? It's unthinkable to me.
Give me an ounce of this gall.
How can an industry based on actual material metrics possibly compete with the sheer investment arbitrage of a massively overleveraged artificial intelligence bubble, after all?
Even the most successful game will pale in comparison to medium-term returns on the current irrational ponzi.
real
Sorry guys, this industry isn’t profitable enough for half of you to keep your jobs. We can afford to buy out a public park for a week though -
go to this event if you're cool
but abuse the privilege of access to that place and those people then so help me god your field shall lie fallow and never prosper

SLUG WORLD is tomorrow! 🌿
GDC counterprogramming for the ones the tech bros couldnt kill.
I feel like my life is in a holding pattern at a point when I should be hitting the accelerator.
My inability to do so and follow through is also harming other people I care about, and that compounds itself.
I can't look because it kills me.
I can't look away because it kills me anyway. Wretched.
All movement towards greater equality in matters of race, gender and sexuality, across the modern West, was achieved by simply taking no account of the views of the very many people who didn't want it to happen.
We should get back to this.
atm, many colleagues & friends from industry are at GDC in San Fran, doing the networking & tiring satellite events, in spite of all this.
I was there in 2019, to win an award. In what turned out to be the first of a chain of truly horrible years. Shoutouts to doc.
Now it's not even safe to go.
