“…the rest you will have to learn from women and queers — out in the dark. Also, don’t be too artistic to count your own receipts. Also, carry your pistol. There are thugs out there.” #happyPride #futw

I donated design time to help our local volunteer pride group with their signs and promotional material and it’s awesome to see them popping up everywhere.

Each a small gesture but especially here and this year, solidarity means a lot.

I don’t really agree with the framing or the analysis here, but fascinating to me that Superhot feels like it’s missing something because it is… I’ve played through twice and wasn’t aware there was a story clawback, just assumed it was unfinished.

Another major feature out today! Couldn’t be more humbled and impressed by my brilliant coworkers.

As an established user you might not get the big deal, but getting creators paid while providing folks w/ fast secure access to an identity that feels right is core and I’m thrilled. Onward!

Are you going to PAX? Come hang out on Saturday with a bunch of furry nerds (including me) and debate the inherent furry-ness of various game characters!

Why? Why not.

the labor of art is mostly invisible. what you don't see in a finished piece is all the hours of thought it required, all the little discoveries and surprises and tragedies of production. art IS the process. if you aren't interested in the process, then i don't really know why you want to be artist

Very proud of the team for both advocating and seeing this small but significant change through! You are seen and you are loved.
