One cool feature of Steam is they provide a Harassment Zone for each game you announce. It's a place for people who hate progress to come and crap all over games they haven't even played. No, they won't help you moderate it, but hey, at least you can't delete it!

being in games world gives you a leg up in understanding the stupidity of our culture while also ensuring that no one outside of that world really takes anything you have to say that seriously

I really think this article is sensational and hard hitting. It’s very long, but worth reading. (It’s a gifted link I hope you enjoy)

I do feel like indie game devs should do more launch parties, seems healthier then sitting at your desk and staring at the steam dev dashboard

the thing about layoffs of this scale is that so much is happening it involves days and days of discovering fresh horrors

We’re Done Playing Video game workers strike back. Over the last few years, game workers have been struck by unprecedented mass layoffs, driven by corporate greed and short-term profit seeking. While employers treat us...

Mass layoffs affecting thousands of workers. Cancelled development cycles sweeping years of hard work under the rug.

We have seen time and again how little the worker matters to corporate leadership.

You’re 100% right about having to be a sicko. I choose to make dumb VR jokes because because I have so much fun doing it, and it seems like there’s no part of the VR ecosystem that encourages me to keep doing that

Someone asked me what I thought of VR games in general in 2025 on our discord. I spent too much time writing this so figured I'd share it elsewhere. This is written off the top of my head so apologies for overbroad generalizations. Coffee-shop tier banter.
