I only watched it when I suspected I'd see a trailer for something I like. Otherwise I really don't care for it in and of itself, don't particularly like Geoff, and tbh I'm probably skipping it altogether after this latest thing with Future Class. The unseriousness is up to 15 now and I'm over it.

We will be announcing the 2026 Indie Game Awards later this month.

So this is a pre-announcement, we guess? Quite a few people have asked in recent days!

And thanks to our generous sponsors, it’ll be free to attend ❀️

How awesome would it be if people kept donating like this throughout pay day? I've never had that happen before, I'm usually ignored on Fridays. 🀞🏾

We’re stalling out with 1 week before we return to court.

We received 1 $50 donation yesterday. We need to raise another $18000 before November 12.

Can you help by amplifying or donating to keep my family housed?

We’re doing all the things we can on this end...

Float On by Monroeroe A bundle by Monroeroe, $15.00 for 17 games

Hey, #ttrpg folks. Due to Bas losing his job, I’ve got all my games on sale for the remainder of the year at least, so if you’ve been eyeing any of my works now’s the best time. I’m grateful for any and all support.

Quick updateβ€”we just got to $995 thanks to a gracious donor. $5 more (or more) and that puts us at 25% and gets us Metroid Dread. Truly grateful, honestly, this was a great surprise to see today. Thank you, everyone.

Also, yeah, to add on to this point with more time to cook: you know how people keep saying getting too into tropes ruins your enjoyment of things? Power scaling is like that except 10x worse. Rots your ability to think about things in any terms except combat.

It's funny because the two major points of the Tournament of Power were "raw strength isn't everything" and "get ready to break your limits to survive" but people like the ones OP is pointing out had that point fly over their heads like the Nimbus lol.

Future Class: Hindsight | The Game Awards 2023 Trailer
YouTube video by SpottinGames Future Class: Hindsight | The Game Awards 2023 Trailer

my game was nominated at TGA a few years ago! i was highlighted in a developer reel (pasting it below) and i felt so honored and grateful. now i feel shitty and icky that my cohort reaped the benefits the previous ones fought for, only for it to be killed.

It's important that we name it when we see it. That we say it so it lives in the open. Not just in the way that the Future Class has been abandoned, but the half-baked acknowledgment of the turmoil in the industry by The Game Awards. All of it.

Don't claim what you don't care about. (5/5)

06.11.2025 19:00 β€” πŸ‘ 29    πŸ” 4    πŸ’¬ 0    πŸ“Œ 0

You do not actually care about honoring developers or their sacrifices or their toil. You just want to prop up the names that stand to let you gain. You want social assets.

No more and no less.

And I know a lot of skeptics already knew this about award shows in general, but even so... (4/5)

06.11.2025 19:00 β€” πŸ‘ 30    πŸ” 4    πŸ’¬ 1    πŸ“Œ 0

If you're not willing to even keep up an *archived list* of the game developers you touted as future stars in the industry, let alone a notably *underprivileged* list of developers who were supposed to get resources *from your organization*, then you're not serious about that work. (3/5)

06.11.2025 19:00 β€” πŸ‘ 49    πŸ” 11    πŸ’¬ 2    πŸ“Œ 0

At the level that The Game Awards currently stands at, it is an *active decision* not to support the Future Class, because they have the resources to do it. And that simple fact makes anything that Geoff Keighley says about honoring game devs at TGA into a lie. (2/5)

06.11.2025 19:00 β€” πŸ‘ 38    πŸ” 7    πŸ’¬ 1    πŸ“Œ 0

Personally, I believe that institutions that purport to support or otherwise celebrate an industry have a responsibility to pursue material action that backs that support up.

Here, we have an example of the most abject failure to uphold that responsibility, and it's frankly embarrassing. (1/5)

*even give up SNK games as late as last year, sorry, realized I ran out of words.

The point still stands.

Also goes for Fortnite and their rumored(?) upcoming collaboration.

If I, at my relatively younger age several years ago, could swear off of Rurouni Kenshin, or even give up SNK games, you can find something better to do than support FNAF or Rowling.

It's a choice. Make the right one.

Especially if you're using the slopmaker for anything in your life. You're gambling with your cognitive function to make ChatGPT egg you into making the worst decisions possible while that doofus Sam Altman fleeces you by the minute.

Don't do it. Don't. (2/2)

This is at the point where the power and water requirements for the slop machines are causing pollution and water shortages, in the US and beyond.

Yes, the impacts are a lot like recycling on the face of it, where you stopping can't offset it so easily.

But every little bit matters. (1/2)

Hey guys! I'm asking for some mutual aid here and I could REALLY use your help.

Due to some emergency fees for my work trip! (Had to replace a damaged passport last minute).

I could really use some help to keep the lights on this week.

And if you want, I'll send you a pic of Bonney as thanks!

The levels of frivolity and uselessness in this man. I am a hater forever. Till my body is dry.

Only reason a city would be calling him to do what he did here is for him to be a fall guy because he botches when they ask him to carry a bribe.

GET GONE THEN. GO, NO ONE WANTS YOU HERE.

I did the math and roughly, my crowdfund is like at -$100 so if anyone would like to help with that it would be awesome 🫩 #helpsky #BlackDisabilitySky #donate #Blackmutualaid

if everyone following me chipped in 5 bucks or shared to someone who could they'd be out of danger, please consider giving if you have the means and share as widely as possible given that this is time sensitive

OK, coming back around to this now.

We broke 20% when my new mayor got elected yesterday, now at $830 as of this post. Another $170 gets us 25% of the way through in only 3 days AND unlocks Metroid Dread streams.

Thank you to everyone that's supported. Please spread the word or give if you can.
