If you're looking for work in gamedev, here's a thread of guides I've written about everything from setting freelance rates to writing a good cover letter

I've been in gamedev for over 13 years and been on both sides of the interview table a lot, so these are all the things I wish I'd known

this is strong evidence that the ACLU and EFF are gearing up to tackle payment processors.

keep up the pressure! there is no one single silver bullet, getting our Ws requires pressure from all fronts! We can do this!

Happy #NationalPumpkinDay 🎃🔥

Flamey lights it up!

Here’s my cover for Justice League Unlimited 15
Had funny coming up with my own roster

Stop payment processors from censoring games!

Not seeing much on my timeline about it anymore, so here's a reminder: payment processors are still trying to censor NSFW content of all kinds, and are in fact getting more aggressive about it; I'm seeing stories of folks losing access every day

Call them & tell them THIS IS BULLSHIT

Things are quiet for now but I got feeling it won't be long before we start seeing another wave a mass censorship and restrictions, not only on nsfw content but art and media overall.

Keep calling. Keep writing. Keep awareness up! Let's do what we can to protect our right to create freely!

KEEP DRAWING!

We have to obscure any words that refer to sex/sexuality/gender on our Facebook posts, otherwise they get flagged/deleted for violating community standards 🙄

Which means the transcription of each comic also gets censored with emojis, like 🔞 for sex and 🏳️‍🌈 for queer/trans/lesbian/gay/nonbinary

We did a bunch of this! Happy day!!!!

This is a warning to every artists and clients using PayPal: Leave the note blank or send invoices. Apparently even saying "commission" makes them trigger happy. #SaveSpeech #StopPaypros

Chillas are common in Patagonia, quite cold there! I took cues from patagonian gauchos!

Here's the September Patreon Q&A :)

I've been watching Batman TAS, and it put me in the mood for some more Harley Quinn

The image is a 5 panel black and white comic. Panel 1- A person sits on a sofa chair and says "So that's how my family is. Ya know, normal stuff." Panel 2- It cuts to a woman with a clipboard, sitting and looking very bewildered. Panel 3- It zooms out to reveal a therapist setting, with the tow of them looking at each other. Panel 4- The two continue to look at each other, the person in the sofa looks down. Panel 5- The person in the sofa says "That's not normal is i-" With the therapist promptly responding with "no."
