Cis people need to pay attention to the way they communicate this. They freely admit that after all of their research, they came up with zero evidence that HRT was harmful. Then they banned it anyway, claiming their inability to find a reason is a reason in of itself.
And it's happened www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
Oh hey I can talk about this now! I'm going to be doing my first talk in a veerryy long time at Yorkshire games fest in a few weeks! Me/cfs has meant I haven't been able to do any thing like this in years but being in a better place, I'm excited! www.scienceandmediamuseum.org.uk/whats-on/yor...
Back in my day, AI used to stand for Adobe Illustrator! And we hated that, too!
Placeholder assets should scream 'placeholder' at you.
A little reminder; ethics aside it's not a good idea to use AI for placeholder stuff. If something looks "good enough" its easy for it to slip into the final product. Placeholder stuff needs to LOOK placeholder so its obvious it needs replacing. Lorem ipsum and Paint doodles are perfect placeholders
In the Season 2 premiere of ITAV, @serknowles.bsky.social & I chat about her own Village! She tells me how she came to know co-founder and director at Sad Owl Studios @georgbacker.bsky.social playing Overwatch! Check out Sophie’s episode right now on my YouTube😎 youtube.com/@samantha_be...
You will internalize all the mean stuff you say about yourself, even if you say it in jest. Good news: you can also pretend you're great and treat yourself with compassion and internalize that instead. Ask me how I know! People respond well to it too, they wanna root for you!!
Some advice from a couple of years ago that I still think most creative people need to hear --

My partner and I finished this last night, I can't stop thinking about it. Incredible game.
Chants of Senaar is 40% off on steam at the mo (~ £10). I reckon it's one of the best videogames I've played.

Viewfinder is finally coming to Xbox and Switch, and you love to see it. If you've never had the opportunity to play it, now's your chance. Sad Owl Studios deserved both BAFTAs, and meeting a couple of the team at Gamescom (including @serknowles.bsky.social) confirmed they're Good Eggs™

The rot at the heart of British culture that allows something like today’s Supreme Court ruling to be made… Boycott Rowling. Teach your dad about pronouns. Withhold your vote from politicians who don’t vocally support trans rights. Fund trans artists and creators. TERF Island needs to die.
I got the opportunity to merge work and hobbies and work, and produced a few give aways for the game I'm currently working on for @mcdoogleh.bsky.social , Rogue Eclipse.

I talked to the BBC about some of the challenges we're up against as game developers. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Making games is hard and, in 2024, getting people to buy them is another challenge.

It's extremely ironic that a game about people being sad that their favourite club is closing because of capitalism is no longer playable... because if capitalism. Not only is Dance Central VR delisted from sale, but its latest update locks it in a loading loop at start-up, and nobody is fixing it.
So this is really cool. I'm part of this year's BAFTA Breakthrough!
I am SO READY to get stuck into this 🤩
