I want to say that if this dragnet snags enough white people, we might finally get meaningful action. But I am pretty sure the elites have already called off even the pretense of caring about poor white people AND they’re actively making middle class white people poor. Sooooo…

A lot of the devs I’ve talked to about Outersloth don’t seem to understand fund vs Publisher. I had one dev argue with me about Outersloth and asked me if I was sure they’re a fund. I’m pretty sure since I signed one of the initial Outersloth contracts. Anyways, more funds to offset publishers!

surge pricing in all forms should be illegal, and anyone who tries to implement or reverse engineer it should be lowered into a vat of molten lava

it’s unreal how these grown-ass men had no problem destroying untold lives with chatGPT but go crying to a judge when people make fun of them online

It's such a weird choice. Where was the audience in this choice?? We don't want music and overpriced food in the gardens! The best thing GDC had was paying the city to have the gardens and keep them free for everyone

btw, full credit for this art goes to the shutterstock artist who drew a stylized picture of nyc that inspired me to think “that’s obviously a final fantasy logo.” the rest, as they say, is history

would you believe that I spent HOURS trying to find a good image and got incredibly mad before coming up with this. I was at my wit’s end before inspiration struck in my darkest hour

I'm rooting for MOME and Alia J-H to keep the more indie-focused city efforts for NYC game devs alive! But after a quote I gave @nathangrayson.bsky.social back when I was VERY pissed off at Eric Adams, I probably won't be asked back to participate in city industry councils, LOL (nor do I need to be)

This also sucks because other folks use Yerba Buena Gardens, and with the great weather, they'd no doubt be out there, too. Yerba Buena is one of the great public spaces South of Market.

this year at gdc, the yerba buena gardens, a space where developers have congregated during the event for well over a decade, has been taken over by the conference and spends part of the day fenced off. developers are upset not just about the clunkiness of it all, but what it represents
