All games ideas from an "idea guy" should be approved by the Council: - a different guy who actually plays the genre - a trans person who loves souls likes - 3 tiktok doom scrollers who don't game - a guy who can quit collecting waifus any time - a girl who can quit collecting waifus any time

Oh yeah, the headache that makes you wrong about Gundam

Husband is off to Germany so of course I immediately threw out my back. Laying on an ice pack on the floor. 🫠😭

I feel bad for my new coworkers who haven't been there for the deep lore and slow burn of my body falling apart. Every few days I'm explaining some new reason I have to go to the doctor and they're getting whiplash. I know I don't have to tell them but I'm medically an open book.

Witch Hat Atelier better not awaken my stationary buying tendencies

I'm going to the very Gen Z / alpha geared Nana themed flea market tomorrow and I'm feeling so happy to see a new generation embrace Nana. 🪷 I was at the new York premier of the movie like twenty years ago so it feels like passing the baton of waiting for the ending to a new team. 😭🫠

What a joy it is to wake up to two cats trying to steal your hair tie from your hair every morning 🌄

My husband has to fly out again unexpectedly in a few weeks and I'm going to hit him with my cane at some point

Really heartening to see both game workers and players wake up to the realities of what collective action can do to change things. The tide is turning. Everyone, including you, deserves a union.

Oh man where to begin When I was unable to eat due to an untreated anxiety disorder "At least you're losing weight!" Endometrioma cyst ruptured requiring multiple morphine doses "You just have really bad cramps!" After a full hysterectomy which he performed "So let's do an IUD for birth control"

A question from Reddit that I'll answer here: "What's the most unhinged thing a doctor has said to you with a straight face?"

How the fuck does the non-profit that's supposed to support the game industry have 40M in revenue a year and do fucking nothing?

btw if the ESA or any of these studios wanted to put together an initiative to provide financial relief to laid off game workers, they have ~$60M in total assets that they could allocate towards one. They're welcome to reach out to me if they need info on how to set one up.

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. ✊

1 year anniversary of getting got and I'm so much better off lol

Necesse is pretty good ngl

cats are peak

My husband is home from nearly a month of work travel 😊

This is correct. Gilgamesh is canonically an equal opportunity power bottom. Oh to be a fly on the wall of the contract negotiation where someone required this to be said.

Ok, here's the real He Would Not Say That.

My team at work discovered we all watch the Youtube train videos. If you were ever wondering about what kind of person does this job.

When I say my primary motivation is spite, I mean I escaped poverty and living on others property without a home because someone told me no I made a nanoinfluencer twitter account because I got denied from a social media job and someone called me bad in Meccha Chameleon chat, so I had to do this

The main way in which AI has negatively impacted games industry jobs is not through actual automation of those jobs or even untrue claims about automation. It's by making capital unavailable because it's tied up in AI investments while also destroying the consumer base for video game hardware.

I had picked Spain at the work team "draft" before start so basically they have to renew me now right

Appreciate Spain and Argentina paying tribute to the New York Jets by doing absolutely nothing on a Sunday afternoon in the meadowlands.

I just hope they're all having fun edging each other and everyone watching

Mystery flowers

I was born today 😌

I attended the Save Our Devs rally in Rockville for ZeniMax devs yesterday. My big takeaway: the talent being lost is staggering. Grateful to Aftermath for sending me out 🚗💨

ZeniMax workers rally to save 'the spirit of the studio' after Microsoft's latest layoffs aftermath.site/zenimax-save-o...

Some photographs from the 'Save Our Devs' rallies in Rockville, Montreal, Dallas, Austin, and Redmond—held yesterday in protest of the latest mass layoffs at Xbox. I'm told by a union organiser that over 150 employees turned out in Rockville alone.

I guess my #gamedev thread got suppressed but it is off my chest. What a relief.

I want to share something I haven't before. For legal purposes, this is satire and I'm retired from this. In 2017-2018, I was working at Zenimax / Bethesda in QA. Our pay was excruciatingly low for Montgomery County, MD. Many of us qualified for low income housing while working 40+ hour weeks. 1/?
