Since our news media is evilly irresponsible and politicians were begging to not be held accountable for nation-funded war crimes, Israel is *still* indiscriminately killing Palestinians. There is no peace. #FreePalestine

hard to maintain friendships with game developers because all these motherfuckers have ADHD and forget you exist when you're out of sight (it's me i'm these guys)

last paragraph of https://www.aclu.org/news/free-speech/app-store-oligopoly How we can push back In an increasingly centralized world, it will take very little for an abusive government to cause an effective organizing tool to disappear, to block an app that belongs to a critical dissenting media outlet, or to force invasive malware into a software update used by everyone. We need a shared infrastructure that doesn’t permit this kind of centralized control. We can disrupt oligopolistic control over software through user choice (e.g., preferring and installing free software), building good protocol frameworks (e.g., demanding tools that use open standards for interoperability), and through regulatory intervention (e.g., breaking up monopolistic actors, or mandating that an OS must allow sideloading, as the EU did with the DMA). The device you carry with you that is privy to much of your life should be under your control, not under the control of an abusive government or corporations that do its bidding.
hypercentralizers are not having a good day today -- #github has joined #cloudflare to block or slow down millions of folks from doing stuff.
Maybe a good time to checkout out this new ACLU article about the current Apple/Google app-store oligopoly […]

Hi~ I am Darya Talia (she/they), a creative, an independent game developer, and a big sib! I love art, technology, and sociology, and am mindful of local and global politics.
Follow me for:
- #gamedev
- anime/manga
- video essay/book recommendations
- political thought
I wish #lists could be used to compile similar posts rather than just users. I want to manage all of the video essay recommendations I've been making, but it seems my best option for now is a thread. So I need to make a main thread to pin to keep track of those, my business marketing, and game dev..

The filmography Must be taken separately from the character development which Must be taken separately from the use of revolutionary ideology!!
In the context of analyzing the components of media separately to understand the media as a whole, Schnee recently released a surprising but extremely topical essay on propaganda and deconstructing artist intent and impact:

In the year of #Sinners, I see mo reason to give One Battle After Another grace when it comes to character development, especially the development of Black Women. Great companion videos:

Nytimes screen shot. How the elections intensified the fight over the Democratic Party. Around d the US, primary candidates will decide the party’s direction on policy issues and ultimately whether it has a center left or left wing vision.
Am I the only person who thinks this is great? Like, “yes, we should have a variety of candidates in primaries. Let’s stop being afraid of what Fox News is going to say, they are going to say it anyway.”

I am physically, emotionally, and mentally going through it right now, but the good news is that after this weekend, I'll have time for game dev and game jams again.

they're treating a Nazi takeover of the federal government as no big deal and the possible election of Zohran Mamdani as the end times. it's a remarkable job of failing to meet the moment, and the most revealing sign yet they don't want to do anything at all except cling to party power.

Hey, if it helps, at least the PS3 and Nintendo Wii aren't turning 20 years old this year!
...they both turn 20 years old NEXT year.
I just released a new free Pixel Art Character Base (32x32) on Itchio!
Includes 5 animations (idle, walk, pick up, petting & watering) in all 4 directions
Great for any farming or top-down RPG project.
