I do not like this gen AI
I do not like what it implies
I do not want it in my art
I do not think it makes you smart
I do not want it in my games
I do not like its goals and aims
I do not want it in my books
I do not like the way it looks
I do not like it, I don't care
I do not want it anywhere

I was born in an Iranian prison. My parents were held in their jails. My uncles lie in their mass graves.
Nothing you can tell me about the crimes of the Iranian regime that I haven't lived in blood and bone.
That doesn't mean I want my people bombed, maimed, killed, their homes in ruins.
If your vision of liberation comes only through the destruction of innocent lives, then it's not freedom you're after.

I am pro Iranian people. I stand with them against their own government’s repression AND against the imperial violence in the form of bombs dropped from the sky from Israel & the US who have already killed hundreds.

I support neither imperialism or dictatorship.

I watched someone play it and thought "oh this looks cool I might play it" until it was a dark hall full of head crabs and I was like "on second thought nope I'm good,"

It isn't* that I have imposter syndrome it's just an honest truth that I know many incredible people who are objectively way more awesome than me and I'm fucking lucky for it

I was incredibly lucky to work with Mary Elizabeth McGlynn on a project once and unfortunately it was over Skype so we never met in person, but the SINGLE good thing about that is she couldn't see me holding in my glee and mouthing "MAJOR KUSINAGI IS IN MY GAME AND READING MY WRITING EEEE"

Reminder to other indie dev teams especially new teams. Most of us are happy to share advice and give feedback on publisher/funding/platform deals and terms. There are some shady predatory biz weasels that will take advantage of you as soon as your game starts to pop off. Please reach out.

Please listen to me very carefully right now: Learn to take and celebrate small short wins, to build momentum and morale, or you and everyone you need to fight beside you will be burned out, demoralized, and demotivated before the next big opportunity comes along.

It’s day 79 of the ICE occupation of MSP.

It’s a winter wonderland outside.

Today’s assignment is to shovel or snowblow for your impacted neighbors. It’s the neighborly Minnesotan thing to do!
