๐ŸŒธDebuting this con season - I'll do my best to bring a very small quantity to in-person events starting with AX, but I didn't make very many in the first place, so I'll have to be very careful with them! ๐Ÿ’ฆ

Havenโ€™t done any loud promo for it lately so hey, did you know that Iโ€™ve spent the last two years co-hosting a podcast (mostly) about science-fiction and fantasy books? Weโ€™ve covered The Sprawl, Earrhsea, Book of the New Sun, and a lot of other stuff!!

Game dev is so hard and psychic damaging, but then I see how much joy it gives people and the connection they make with the things you're making and argh.

OOF โ€ฆ โ€œHaving to work two jobs for a small studio and not being able to afford a health crisisโ€ really clocked me where it hurts ๐Ÿ˜ฌ

Itโ€™s so damn true though. Shit is so rough in this country.

I don't know if anyone else is like this, but whenever I consume some media that I really enjoy-- a book, a game, series, whatever-- I am reluctant, or in some cases I simply cannot, move on to another thing because I am not ready to stop thinking about what I just enjoyed.

And I don't even mean this in the sense of like forcing yourself to socialize, but as I get older I realize that its so important to connect with the physical world you're tied to; be it your environment, your family, your friends, your community, etc.

I say this often but I think one of the most important things that we can do as artists/creators/human beings with feelings is to once in awhile just like, have real experiences and relationships.

Even for the most introverted people, we need to get out of our shells to recharge our brains

I don't know how to tell people that these tariffs will 100% affect video games, the studios, the devs, and consumers. We are headed towards the shitter and my brain is getting fried trying to comprehend the weight of the matter

I think it's because it reminds me of the overworld music from Ragnarok Online? Or maybe its because it brings back a lot of nostalgic feelings youtu.be/1fvFq1ZhfYQ?...

The devs who unfluffed their feathers and let their guards down to talk about the beauty and mess of game dev, who also hold so much knowledge and WANT so desperately to provide the support that they also need, reminded me that its devs like this that make this industry stronger

it was amazing to see so many earnest developers working so hard to achieve their goals at GDC. Something I took out of it is that beyond the veil of corpo bs and heavy handed โ€œnetworkingโ€, building truly genuine and authentic networks in the industry is 100% possible thanks to individual devs

I know the material reasons for the rise of fascism. I also think another reason - which doesnโ€™t get talked about as much because itโ€™s embarrassing that humans can be that naive - is that when you are financially comfortable but bored, abstract cruelty can give you a sense of purpose.

AAA making games with โ€œprofit growth mentalityโ€ is going to be its biggest downfall. The industry is eating itself out of greed and bleeding talented workers out.

The more experience I have with doing business, the more I come to realize there is no way to achieve corporate levels of financial success ethically. This is not a goal anyone should be striving for.
