14 years ago I wanted to work with Blizzard so badly, I got myself hired as a figure model for the drawing classes and drove 3 hours+ to/from Irvine every week. Now after hosting at Blizzcon, voicing characters, and making lifelong friends on the teams, I support making Blizz BETTER for them. 💜

Vintage screenshots of PC-98 Eroge with nothing but the name of the game — probably fine Screenshots of Ocarina of Time backgrounds that don’t actually appear in the game with a post that says “Zelda 64 was such a vibe” — Adolf Hitler’s alt
And also all the best accounts of that kind are trans women and communists anyway
A side-by-side look at the real flowers and fauna you can find onboard The Pergola: real life weeds and flowers found everywhere on the ship. We want the overgrowth to feel familiar, even when it's hundreds of years away from home.
Your work will be called "porn" the moment it is convenient to power to define it that way. Solidarity is our only useful option.
if you are any kind of creative or artist or writer you *have* to understand sex workers and porn/erotica artists/authors as being members of the same class as us. to the extent society recognizes a difference between "legitimate" art and porn, it's only as a tenuous, convenient, temporary fiction.

SCABBY THE RAT HAS SPAWNED INTO THE LEVEL
NEW: CWA union members have inflated a giant rat and deployed a wall of red flags representing laid off Xbox workers outside the Bethesda office in Rockville. The protest was timed to coincide with a visit from Xbox CEO Asha Sharma, who is apparently at the studio today.
🎉 WE'VE OFFICIALLY REACHED OVER 200K!!!!!! 🎉 Thank you so much to everyone who has purchased the bundle or even just helped spread the word. This is officially twice what we originally set out to raise, and we still have a few days left in the drive. Can we make it to $250k?

We'll be there. Will you? ✊
There are no video games without video game developers. Trillionaire corporations will continue to treat devs as line items on a balance sheet unless we fight back. Join us on August 18th to #SaveGameWorkers, as we rally across nine studios in the US and Canada. More location details to come soon.

OK so forgive me but I gotta be weird about this for a minute. Infrastructure is a requirement for a mutually successful and functioning society. And a lack of concern for maintenance of that infrastructure not only ruins societies, but ensures they never escape wealth disparity. IN BRIEF:
Damn socialists
A look at the guts of The Pergola in Dandelion Void. The ship is dead, but the jungle creeping through its hallways is very much alive. #DandelionVoid #IndieDev #GameDev
Real talk, being made to move from Tennessee to Seattle without relocation assistance just to get laid off in the middle of the global pandemic a thousand miles away from family was a large factor in me going freelance. I decided I never wanted to let a company have power over me like that again.
The fact that it’s not uncommon for game companies to require you to relocate across the country just to lay you off is crazy. “Sorry we made you and your family move to an incredibly expensive city a few months ago to do a job you could have done remotely - also you’re now out of a job. :)”
New video on the channel! I believe we have reached the final era of nerdcore hip-hop. I do a deep dive to explore why. Enjoy: youtu.be/05yQa6Ckftw
Finally found time to let more people know about this. Hopefully it'll get a few more people over the line. keep up the good work, @videogameworkers.bsky.social et al!
