SCREEN Act, which would have required mandatory age-verification for sites (like this) that allow "material harmful to minors" failed to pass out of committee after thousands and thousands of people called their Senators. More work ahead!

The SCREEN Act just failed to pass in the Senate Commerce Committee! 🎉 Enormous thanks to the thousands (!!) of you who told your Senators to vote no! Your voice matters and you should feel good that you made a difference. Obviously, the fight isn't over, but this was an important victory.

Something I've realized in the writing of #FarNorth is that as much as it is about systemic/generational abuse...it also has this deep layer of communal support woven in it. Not something I planned for, something that only appeared after I started writing

Not pulling punches with this one: If you're still playing Sims 4 (and haven't 🏴‍☠️ it) you're promoting the MAGA movement, the Saudi government, and the Trump family. It's the same as still buying Harry Potter branded shit, as far as I'm concerned. And I know some of you still give it up for JKR 👀

And now it's official: Electronic Arts, one of the most storied publishers in videogame history, has been fully acquired by a consortium made up of Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund and investment firms Silver Lake and Affinity Partners. www.pcgamer.com/gaming-indus...

Saffron Aurora@saffronaurora.bsky.social · last wk.

listen, if your game hits 100k wishlists before launch, I will animate Capy breakdancing

🤔Can you handle The Immortal John Triptych?😮 Some video game storefronts don’t think so!😂 Check out some hilarious ACTUAL responses we've received in the process of publishing @joerichardson.bsky.social's masterpiece.

thou hast been blessed by the ibuprofen knight praise be ⚔️💚

Did the math earlier and: In just two 12 stream events, we've raised nearly $500 for charities! We've only been doing the charity streams for about a year now, so I think that's incredible! Thank you to everyone who has donated or stopped by 💕

Don't worry about not fitting in, because fitting in isn't an important part of your life. Be proud of being different♡ Your life is shining🌈

Big morning full of cleaning Time to collapse a bit until the afternoon work begins

Ooooo, you *know* we're checking this out on stream when it drops 💕 Been excited for this one since I saw the call for VAs xD

Nighthawks is launching in SEPTEMBER! www.kickstarter.com/projects/753...

As of this morning, the itch bundle officially broke 100k. This is a lifeline to our fellow workers and proof that solidarity extends beyond borders, both literal and figurative. Never let anyone tell you that things cannot change.

United Videogame Workers-CWA@videogameworkers.bsky.social · 3d ago

You’ve helped us raise over 80k for laid off gamedevs in need so far, and we still have plenty of time left in the bundle’s drive. Everyone who organized this effort was doing so on their own time for the benefit of others. If these companies wanted to, they would. They don’t. We do. Join us. ✊

Now I'm crying too 🥹 Only a few days into the campaign and already at $97k! That's just amazing! More power to the workers and their supporters who all came together to make this happen 💕

A statement from our union president on the amazing turnout of support for the Game Industry Hardship Fund itch.io bundle 🙏 👇 The bundle is live for 10 more days to support devs in need, but a long-term difference can be made by joining UVW-CWA directly. ✊ uvw-cwa.org itch.io/b/3802/game-...

Day 9 of daily doodles for @capycastaway.com launching August 6 (it’s a late night one!!) Shhhhh….the babies are sleeping! #art

Nothing makes me feel cooler than a giant pair of black sunglasses with dark lenses Speaking of...guess who just got sick new pair of sunglasses?!

Maybe one day I'll write up an article about my experiences contracting and how it's actively put me in an income bracket below where my parents were, plus how much I've had to work to legitimize my own work to myself as a result

Because you've kept them contracting for the last 10 years, Richard

Today on stream we learned about the term cootermogging and I just... Far-right girlies will do anything for attention other than seek validation within themselves

It's so strange to me -- someone who just casually tries to grow their own food now and again -- that the "what will it do to the land" crowd don't consider that plants also need shade. Granted, they're also the crowd of using prison labor during the hottest part of the day without a break sooooo

Y'all it's so easy. All we need to do to fix the game industry is have games with millions of dollars of start up money, or games that hit the lottery. Just hit the lottery more guys, it's easy. Or be rich already and make a game.

GamesRadar+@gamesradarplus.bsky.social · 2w ago

We need games like Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, Balatro, and Peak as a cure for the "fear" in the industry, say experts www.gamesradar.com/games/we-nee...

This is deadass every republican campaign ad here in the south. I'm not even REMOTELY JOKING.

That's a lot of potential money... $6.44/lbs on copper, $4k/oz on gold... Not that I'm advocating for anything. I'm not your parental figure. Do your own research, kiddo

Dominic@domoffinland.bsky.social · 4d ago

this guy gets it

Jumping on the train of "if this isn't opt-out by default, I'm leaving Twitch" crowd. I've said it over and over, each time they float these ideas. I will, however, move to stream.place or similar and set up some sort of donation somewhere

Twitch and Amazon are apparently planning to use streams to train Generative AI. Multiple sources tell me it will be announced in the coming months, despite some internal friction against it. Creators may be able to opt out of some training data.

New Indian grocer just opened up withing walking distance of us and we've already been there three times this past week Even though I walked in looking goth as hell with a tank top that said "FUCK" across the top, they were so friendly 😂💕

This is what I believe Brings my heart joy to see players and devs working together to help one another 💕

United Videogame Workers-CWA@videogameworkers.bsky.social · 5d ago

Special shoutout to the players who have been supporting and spreading the word about the itch bundle to support the Game Workers Hardship Fund! Your solidarity means the world to us, and player-dev solidarity is a critical component for driving positive change in the artform we love. We love you! 💪
