Let's take a look at the reasons why you might get laid off while working on a game, shall we? Your game doesn't do well, which, sure. Harsh, but understandable. Your game is called a success by Microsoft. Microsoft then lays you off. You help make a game as successful as Marvel Rivals. You are then laid off. Your studio gets acquired for over $60 billion dollars. You are then laid off. You endure executive pressure that forces you into making games your studio isn't good at making. It doesn't go well. You are then laid off. Someone decides your portfolio needs to be aligned/reorganised/restructured to become more flexible/agile/versatile under economic/industry conditions. Meanwhile, your CEO might've spent $2 million on vintage cars. You are then laid off.

I've been making a game about getting revenge against a billionaire ceo that unleashed a fatal curse on society. Even if you don't want to do it, the effects of the curse force your hand.

the label system is an interesting way to circumvent a lot of the problems you see online but i could easily see it being abused and magnify another set of problems. just like the list system.

fascinating! i'm only now discovering what content labels on bsky are.

dammit, i'm just now finding out Goblin Market is monthly. How long have I been missing out?!

Tetia receives words of encouragement from an older lady, telling her, "The people that restrict your learning only seek to control you."

Witch Hat Atelier has good politics.

If your writing didn’t matter, they wouldn’t be going after our books and our stories and desperately trying to rewrite them and/or destroy them.

Language is power.

it's hard to browse bsky because it forces me to be constantly reminded how awful everything is. it's GOOD seeing people aware but my tumblr experience lets the bad shit trickle in at a pace i can manage

Answerman - Are We At Risk for Censorship of LGBTQ+/Adult Material Because of U.S. 2025 Federal Policies?

The short answer to your question is yes. Of course, there is a risk of increased censorship of LGBQT+ and “adult material” in 2025 and beyond for those of you living in the United States.

When we wrote this guide two months ago, it seems like we did not overestimate the chaos and the vindictiveness to come. Hope it’s useful.

i can't decide what to name the tall woman. Carol? Linda? Janet? Cindy? Laurie? hm

one of the most underrated gamecenter cx moments is when arino is playing umihara kawase and they had the game's character designer, toshinobu kondo, fax in art of the main character getting pissed at arino for sucking at the game

I used this sometimes and it's always been great.

Fun fact: if you're buying from a creator on etsy, you can reduce their etsy selling fees from 6.5% to 2.5% by ordering via 'shopname.etsy.com' instead of 'etsy.com/shopname' or searching from the main site. It costs you the same but the creator makes more

oh god damnit i did not need to be reminded that i want to take another crack at twine. i've already got so much on my plate right now

FEMALE HEAD, LIGHT REFERENCE TOOL After the success of the first one, I decided to create another version of the lighting tool. So this is the Female simplified head version. Hope it will help you for your works ! feel free to share =...

Speaking of shut the fuck up Friday, I’ve been seeing some people say that the FBI has contacted them for questioning after seeing social media posts, and my extremely urgent advice is that you should under NO CIRCUMSTANCES talk to the Feds without a lawyer.

Any fans of Nobuhiko Obayashi’s “House” in the…uh…house????
My very first pin design ever is based on it!!

the sheer difference between how the government and oligarchy have reacted to this single murder versus the hundreds (thousands?) of dead children in mass shootings over the years is staggering
