If you too would like to stop using increasingly shitty software made by bad people who make the world worse, I wrote a guide for how to lessen/end your small team's dependence on US-based tech services: nelsanderson.zone/a-guide-to-d...

A Guide to Ditching US Tech (for Game Developers)

This post is based on a guide from Paris Marx, host of Tech Won't Save Us, author of one excellent book and upcoming (likely also excellent) book last updated September 2nd, 2026 At this point, it's...

Bumping to mention that I've had no recs for an African voice actor. A Black actor who is not from the continent but knows an accent from it is a-okay too Also something worth mentioning that I forgot to say last time is that this is under a SAG-AFTRA contract so it's union safe ☺️👍

Putting out early feelers for casting I'll be doing in Sept/Oct for 4 characters: - Vietnamese, female - East African (other African regions ok but East would be precise), any gender - Irish, male - and the last one's weird but I'd love to hear from streamers who got acting chops

"Pointing out the crucial connections between what is happening in Gaza and what is happening in Hollywood is the exact opposite of antisemitism. It is, for us, the very essence of Jewish ethical duty." 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 variety.com/2026/film/gl...

while I was already planning on boycotting this game, this is important information for people who are still on the fence, and now upgrades this game to the category of 'I will explode you if you try to make me care about it, don't ever talk to me about this thing'

NEW ARTICLE NEW ARTICLE NEW ARTICLE! Emotions are the basic and most important part of human function, as essential as protein. So why is it that so many game designers don't design for emotion? featuring Dark Cloud and Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth! docseuss.medium.com/its-not-enou...

it’s not enough to build something, part 2: you must be aware that someone will play the video game

Years ago, a teen pitched an idea to me: “what if you wrote a story about an alien from the perspective of an alien?”

the concept of uma musume being a hormonally driven thing in some fanon is kind of fun. every human being has a little vestigal uma organ but it's just bigger in the uma musume and produces the uma hormones but you can make your uma organ bigger through horse hormones (or remove your uma organ)

As always, no one wants a picnic next to a sewer. Clean yourself, wash your ass, don't be a menace to your community.

men have figured out a new dating technique and it's "less personal grooming" it's a bold strategy cotton let's see if it works out for them

The more tech-adjacent work I do, the more I realize I only really find joy doing two types of work: game dev (design), and editing. Both, at their best, are highly collaborative jobs. So, guess I need to find a way to spin my various and mixed editing experiences into something job-worthy.

"This is the furry fandom. No politics" I WANT TO EAT. IF I AND OTHER ARTIST SHIT THEMSELVES TO DEATH YOU DON'T GET PORN LOCK YOUR DICK FOR 2 SECONDS AND REALIZE THAT YES, POLITICS AFFECTS YOY VIA FOOD, LAW, SOCIAL NORMS, EVERYTHING

Fields of Mistria has so much content in it. I've been thoroughly enjoying my time in it. Such a lovely world the devs made, looking forward to future updates to it.

If guys are getting interested in video games I've yet to see it tbh, I've only ever met a few guys who were into games and half of them turned out to be girls even then

Valen really out here saying things like "Are you taking care of yourself, or do you need me to take care of you?"

If you figure the average book has 20-30 chapters, then I've probably been reading the equivalent of 2-3 books per week for the last 10 years or so. I read, on average, 115 chapters per week for web novels + 15-25 webtoon and web comic chapters. Web novel chapters are typically 1.5k - 3k words.

Getting a walking pad / treadmill for my home has def been lovely. While I'm not quite used to going on intense walks w/ it, it has definitely been nice to get some exercise in, especially during the awkward points where I have 20-30 min before work, or while on break. Enough time for a mile walk.

2.34% of all Americans are trans, according to US government census data. This number absolutely POLEAXES me, and from what I can see in the source data, the number is completely and totally legitimate and based on a colossal datapool of almost 2.5 MILLION respondents. Let's dig in.

When people say they’re anti-AI, they’re clearly talking about generative AI in the arts and LLM slop that C-Suite jackoffs want to use to replace them. You know this. I know this. Everyone knows this. So the “then don’t use spellcheck if you hate AI” talking point is disingenuous horseshit.

I saw something I want to try too... 1 like = 1 fact about my characters* * in order of project (I have a temporarily private list, if we get to the end, I will start again with another character)

This is absolutely next level, I love it.

Darth Vader spoke in favor of Flock cameras at a San Diego city council meeting yesterday

Every dollar billionaire JK Rowling makes is a dollar she will spend on destroying the lives of trans people - a scapegoating driven by Epstein-class billionaires to distract us from the ultra-rich draining our wealth, killing our planet, sabotaging social cohesion, and destroying dissent.

I've never seen such an effort to censor a document as I have the Amnesty International report on gender critical groups because of JK Rowling. They removed the report from the Wayback Machine and now I got a DMCA strike on my Google Drive for having it. It was deleted and removed from my account.

Long live the king! 🤘 Delivering the official lyrics for Absolute Tyranny from #FFXIV's Arcadion's Heavyweight tier! 📝 sqex.to/EyO26

Part of me imagines a world where Red Mages in #FFXIV are primarily melee, enhancing their weapon with black magic and doing debuffs, damage over time, etc. While their white magic is focused on support abilities, buffs, a bigger heal, and a heal over time. LB3 is shields for all + DoT on boss.
