Manda "Mandatory" Farough 🔜 PAX West

Jeff Bezos, Elon Musk say human population not nearly big enough: ‘If we had a trillion humans, we would have at any given time a thousand Mozarts’ “I think in a lot of these endeavors we're very like-minded,” Bezos said of himself and Musk regarding getting humans into space.

I don’t know why this incenses me as much as it does, but it does:

we very likely have a thousand plus Mozarts *right now*. But they make non-Western art in economically destitute conditions so they have to do other work to pay bills; if you cared, UBI’d be more important to you than going to space

MY FIRST GAME ANNOUNCEMENT

I’ve been contributing narrative to Thousand Hells and I couldn’t be more excited for everyone to play!!

i teach comics to teens & chatgpt is banned in my classroom bc as i tell them, "i am more interested in your ideas instead of what a mechanism backed by a giant corporation tells me that you think"

Our game director did a Good

oh hey... I can finally talk about my HORROR GAME!

I'm the narrative designer and writer on Terrible Lizards, which has been selected for PAX Rising at the upcoming PAX West! If you're going to be there, come swing by and play our demo. I'll be there for a good chunk of the time <3

In Canada, heat increases domestic violence | The Narwhal Excessive heat stresses both the body and mind. That leads to a rise in aggression — which harms women, girls and vulnerable communities the most

Across Canada, extreme heat causes physical and mental stresses that lead to a documented rise in violence. That includes intimate partner violence, @rebeccaga0.bsky.social reports, which threatens women, girls and vulnerable communities the most.

YAY!! So glad that you’re psyched. Our team went HARD!

We're inching closer to episode 200!

The big news of the week (besides the latest earnings reports) are the update on the censorship of Steam and Itch.io and Tencent's strange decision to make a game that's a little too close to Horizon: Zero Dawn.

oh hey, I have a new handle here!

ily, DM me if you need extra squishy love on tap

Oh love. I’m so sorry. Fucking nightmare shit.

I know a lot of you have already heard or read about BDS Movement's call against Microsoft, and felt weird and bad about it all, but decided to move forward as normal because of some degree of ambiguity.

"What service is Microsoft providing?"

Here it is, clear as day. A direct line to death.

"He also said he was planning to call leaders from the BRICS group of developing nations, starting with India and China, to discuss the possibility of a joint response to U.S. tariffs."

The best thing that could happen to the world: the end of US domination

Oh my gosh! Wonderful!!!

My game’s there so I’ll be milling about!

One of the worst trends I've seen in 'leadership' in my many years of the game industry is this tendency to penalize the person who points out inappropriate / destructive / etc behavior.

YESSSSS

Ayyyy thank you!!!

Typical Roblox L
