minnesota coming together to show us all how to stand up against ICE is such a beautiful display of what solidarity looks like

of the moral conundrums you will be presented with, as an adult, "stop buying these specific children's toys" is like. the easiest possible

You didn't name the horse during that entire trip through the desert? Is this a joke to you

YouTube video by People Make Games Why We're Boycotting Xbox (and Maybe You Should Too)

It also rules because BOY do you get to fight a lot of nazis

What does NOT rule is that Microsoft owns it now, so maybe don't buy it while the boycott is ongoing

Wolfenstein: Old Blood rules because you get to hear Mick Gordon ask "what if I did My Thing, but with a string quartet and other period-appropriate acoustic instruments"

This silly gashapon-style magic ring vendor has been one of the recurring highlights of the campaign Dan has been running for us the last few years. HIGHLY recommend incorporating it into your own campaigns!

wikipedia turns 25 today! the last unenshittified major website! backbone of online info! triumph of humanity! powered by urge of unpaid randos to correct each other! somehow mostly reliable! "good thing wikipedia works in practice, because it sure doesn't work in theory" - old wiki adage

"Actually, burning people's passions away and replacing them with bright-eyed youngsters full of hope who shall then also be burned out in an endless hellish cycle of destroying the human soul is quite profitable for me."

To any junior devs reading the discourse, don't let anyone tell you crunch is necessary. Don't fall for it. Long term crunching is dangerous for your physical & mental health, full stop. Great games are not made because of crunch, they are made in SPITE of crunch, and it is NOT sustainable. Period.

heck yeah

Keep hearing devs say that they only use ai for "pre-concept art"

There is no pre-concept art. There is concept art. That's where the idea starts. With the concept.

You're using ai for concept art.

Well deserved, congrats!

Every Democrat who doesn't openly condemn ICE and CBP should have a hundred challengers trying to take their seat. Do not vote for people who let this blend into the increasingly bloody background of "the way things are"

Pillboy is an intersection of two of my interests: cultural commentary through a Black lens, and animation. Check out his VERY thorough and informative vid on... well.

As someone who's been in the speedrunning scene for a decade plus, GDQ's influence on the space has been really dramatic in ways I find very challenging to articulate until I attempt to interact with any community that hasn't had a similar concerted effort to improve its image lol.

I'm always saying this, I've watched the space evolve over the past decade and it's been the result of deliberate choices, some of which were not easy or popular at the time.

You can foster diversity and inclusion in your spaces. It works.

THIS is how you responsibly shepherd a fandom community.

You encourage inclusion and ban bad actors.

You don't say "oh, we don't do politics" and let your fandom become yet another Nazi Bar.

The world has enough fucking Nazi Bars.

On an internet full of poisonous gamer subcultures, this competitive scene has a giant crowd enthusiastically cheering "trans rights!" shoutouts like a dozen times an hour

Obviously every scene has its pockets of toxicity, but this community could have turned out SO differently

The extent to which Games Done Quick has helped to steer the larger speedrunning community - one of the most hardcore video game enthusiast subcultures there is - into becoming something so welcoming, inclusive and supportive astonishes me

you there boy, what day is it?

what day? that would be AGDQ day, sir!

Then I haven't missed it!

For the type of content that is going to struggle with discoverability via the algorithm (let's plays, etc), I could see it potentially helping to get your channel in front of more eyes. Then again, it might be even MORE effective posting them to other platforms, I dunno

god it still makes me livid
