Imagine seeing this and still thinking we need incrementalism. Social media has totally cooked people's brains. We got intelligent people who aren't willing to see the forest for the trees because they don't want to admit they were wrong to a bunch of people they'll never meet in real life.

I am not "complaining" you answered back. Thank you for explaining your views and elaborating on them. I'm not trying to "win" an argument here. All I said initially was I was "a bit confused" by a statement you made about Zohran & then corrected misinformation you said. That's all. Have a good one.

Okay. If you think I'm just some "lib coward" or whatever, fine. But you don't know me & I don't know you. Regardless, I wish you well in your community activism & organizing on the ground to make the world a better place b/c we're on the same side. Good luck and godspeed.

Hey, with all due respect, I hear you but please don't assume what I personally believe based on me correcting you about your assumptions about Zohran. These are separate conversations.

I think we both agree the well-being & survival of the Palestinian people matters the most. Thanks ❤️

I know the people who run this. It is a tiny organisation but has taken some massive stands. Was the first Pride in the UK to ban politicians and is always the first out with strong statements supporting trans people.

I know things are tight but please help support them if you can.

I don't think you can bothsides a genocide to be clear.

You & I also know Zohran has been outspoken that what is happening to the Palestinians is genocide for years & only condemned protestor language that supported Hamas.

Anyway, I think we both agree politicians won't save us & leave it at that.

I don't "trust the process" & agree the DNC is corrupt. All I try is to admire the good things someone in power does while criticizing the bad.

Also, Zohran condemned the language used by both sides at that protest in Queens, not the protest itself. Saying he's "the enemy" seems a bit hyperbolic.

Every politician is fair game for criticism but I'm a bit confused by this statement as someone who lives in NYC.

Zohran has talked about & supported people protesting, taking to the streets, & being angry about what's happening in the US & wants to end an NYPD unit from arresting protestors.

One of my favorite games of all time. If you haven't played it and love adventure games, rectify that immediately.

Thank you @wadjeteyegames.bsky.social and the whole team at Wadjet Eye for making it.

Truly.

I have bots in mentions now spreading that piece he linked to in his horrendous statement today.

This shit is why women and genderqueer people don't speak out and why restorative justice is so achingly far away. Powerful men still don't want to take accountability for their actions.

I did in fact read it and I will in fact still judge and believe the horrific and very specific allegations from multiple women.

As someone who has been assaulted, I believe survivors.

Also, your username screams bot. Go away.

Neil Gaiman returning to social media with a horrendously self-serving statement that calls the allegations against him a "smear campaign," linking to an obscure journalist that defends him, and ends by promoting his next book wasn't on my 2026 bingo card but holy fuck.

leftists sharing ai memes are doing everything wrong

Never mind the jobs you had, tell me five classes you took in college:

1. Working with Groups in a Community Setting
2. Thinking About Games
3. Sight & Sound: Filmmaking
4. Documentary Production (much love to Marco Williams, my fav professor & an incredible filmmaker)
5. The Science of Happiness

The smartest and kindest people I know are poor or working class, make things, work real jobs and enjoy the arts.

The dumbest and worst are the rich and want to destroy the arts with their fellow billionaires/millionaires with investment schemes and gen AI.

This is yet another example.

Jerry Lawson, the inventor of the video game cartridge.

This is Jerry Lawson. He invented the video game cartridge for the Fairchild Channel F system. Because of his invention, many consoles had cartridges and CD formats and would become the norm.

The Atari 2600, NES, Genesis, and many consoles wouldn't exist without him.

Happy Black History Month.

RE that RT.. it’s wild how steam reviews are still so damn important to getting visibility. If you play and like indie games, the most generous and helpful thing you can do is spend an hour popping positive reviews onto anything you like with <500 or so reviews.

Excited to play it! Congrats on the release!

You're welcome!

Catherine O’Hara, Two-Time Emmy Winner and ‘Home Alone’ Star, Dies at 71 O’Hara died Friday after a brief illness.

Devastating. Loved her in so much from Home Alone to Schitt's Creek to The Last of Us to The Studio. She also was just a genuinely kind person. Rest in Peace to her and my condolences to her family.

The arrests of journalists Don Lemon and Georgia Fort are a test for every MSM member with a platform. If you are not voicing your outrage at this blatant violation of the First Amendment, you are utterly discredited as a journalist.

That's a really great perspective. I think, in a lot of ways, it is just managing expectations and wanting to build an audience so I CAN make that 10/10 game one day. Been inspired a lot by @doublefine.com & @strangescaffold.bsky.social and how those teams have built themselves up & their audience.

Genuinely question for my fellow indie game devs out there, are you ever like:

"I know in my mind I'm shooting for a 10/10 game but if the rest of the world sees it at least as a 7.5, I'll be satisfied."

It helps me keep going and set realistic expectations for how my audience sees my work.

Hi, please give what you can

Decided 2026 will be the year that every story I write going forward will have a trans lead character.

Someone asked me: why?

Because I can 😘

But what about bugshit?

Really like the detail you've managed to keep in the pixel art!
