Jayme Lawson from Sinners hit the nail on the head and said how I felt with the whole BAFTAs situation.

The majority of your skin is inside your body; the walls of your guts and whatnot

And therefore most health issues are really dermatological issues

the danger of mass surveillance, btw, especially mediated by machine is not just "they will find all dissenters and punish them"

its also "the machine will make up false dissenters, and get innocent people in jail / embroiled in 20 yrs of lawsuits vs the govt" who are otherwise doing nothing

pfffffffffffffffffff dude!

it's only gallows humor if you're actually on the gallows. Otherwise it's just sparkling punching down.

I try not to spiral fully into conspiracy theory but bombing Iran and then putting out an article that’s like “the point of Purim is murder” on CNN is fucking crazy work. Like they are fully just trying to make people more antisemitic

Fuck :(

85 girls were still alive yesterday. They were still alive yesterday. They were still alive yesterday. They were still alive yesterday.

This world doesn't need to be this way. This world is created by machine men with machine hearts.

They were still alive yesterday.

this isn't a distraction from epstein class pedophilia it's an expression of the epstein class worldview

Feel what you want to feel about the place but like regular people live in the UAE too.

Beyond influencers and expats, there are people who made their lives here.

Keep your fucking jokes to yourself.

If this was planned for months it means that the ongoing negotiations between the US and Iran were meaningless and that an illegal war started by the US was always going to be the outcome.

The talk to your friends app and the witness the horrors app being the same app is not great for the mental health is it

The Iranian people deserve better.

Christ, I hope you stay safe!

BREAKING: We're suing Kansas for a law that invalidates transgender people's updated driver's licenses and authorizes anyone to sue anyone they suspect of being trans for using the "wrong" bathroom.

When playtesting, consider which machine you're using. Not the hardware, just the screen itself

Steamdeck users had few issues navigating through the game, but macbook players got frustrated. So I had some weird feedback until I found the angle of the screen made important details less readable...

sometimes american politics is like that "We deliberately trained him wrong, as a joke" scene from kungpow, but then political ideology

*psht* americans, please don't embarrass yourselves any further by assuming other countries' green parties are exactly like yours

in fact, once again, yours is the odd one out

and if it still fails, at least it will be Very Funny

Fun fact, US passports did not have a gender marker until 1977, when a rising trend in unisex fashion started freaking the government out.

she's going to places!

FYI for fellow narrative designers/game writers: the studio in question is Sentona Games and it’s my understanding they are currently interviewing to replace me. Be very careful with them. They were very nice to me and easy to work with right up until I needed the money I was promised.

in fact, it was homophobic of me to make her walk this slowly. I'll do better!

she is gay, so this tracks

I increased the walking speed of the main character with 25% and now the game feels more dynamic. Game design is full of lies

I did a thread on RTS AI after a question from @glassbottommeg.bsky.social, for those fond of the genre

This is all happening because cis people have decided they are more in communion with pedophiles than their trans neighbors.

oh, now its time to care and give trans people resources and jobs? not like, the past decade they've been begging for it?

it took an expensive, coordinated effort & a lot of people saying “this doesn’t matter” to get from a bathroom ban costing one state $400 million & a gubernatorial race to “trans people must turn in their documents which become invalid in a few hours or face fines & potential jail time” in 10 years.

I think this is one of those things that's stunning, in all the worst ways, and most of them aren't obvious.

Let's start with the basics: there are about 5.5 million trans Americans. This means that *nearly 10% of the entire trans population of the nation* has moved.
