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.

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. ✊

One of the worst things about online discourse is that the care around harm only extends to how large the entity is. That is to say: the smaller/less desirable you are, the more people literally will not care. And I wish y'all cared beyond seeing if this will be Your Big Post.

Chicago > Minneapolis > Milpitas > Indianapolis. If you fucking ask me to fly anywhere in August and it isn't bundled with cash, favors, and a sacrifice the answer is no. I am getting in my bed.

My friend Amanda said 'your calves look great' and baby with these many steps in 3 hours if they look anything beyond great I'm boxing someone

THERES A SAGRADA SPEEDRUN MODE

I want one of those shirts that say "free hugs" but instead it says "free mean mugs" or "free punches"

Me: not sure what I want to eat after this shift My IG:

It has been brought to my attention that there is both a Bloodborne randomizer and a Bloodborne inspired ER overhaul. I chose a good year to swap to a full scale Souls streamer.

Ok who has the Seattle tourist food list I need to be prepped to eat for my next travel location ty

When all you do is whine about shit you don't like:

I showed this photo to my coworkers and said "this is essentially my personality in one photo" and most everyone said "this tracks" and I'm 😭😭😭😭😭

Also ICYMI in the pre-sgdq flurry: submit your metroidvanias to my hotfix special! Submissions close this weekend, I’m very excited to be running this and want both classic nonsense and new hotness so whatever metroidvania you’re cooking I’m interested forms.gle/J5A4NXNyCqnr...

Hey Denver. What? Can someone let my doc know 10K steps may be off the table for the foreseeable future? Thanks.

High key this cracks me up (the topic, not the article or the writer this is great no notes) because the whole 'we had an AI placeholder' thing is literally a throwaway excuse. Anyone who is over 30 can literally tell you about games with jank textures, pictures of cats, an element reversed---

Last week I interviewed the wonderful Casey Yano from Mega Crit about Slay the Spire 2’s placeholder art and how it proves these studios need to STOP with the gen AI placeholder nonsense ✨ Had a great time writing this and hope you all enjoy! www.gamespot.com/articles/sla...

ICE and/or police murdered someone this morning in Biddeford, Maine. From the statements I’ve seen from local activists, I *think* the victim was a young Black man. You may already know Black immigrants are the largest non-white immigrant demo in Maine. A protest is already under way.

Witness says Biddeford shooting victim told police ‘I tried to stop’

One resident says he heard the shots and saw as agents pulled the man out of the vehicle.

Oh, On Together added voice chat! *immediately switches to Off*

counterpoint: the dead should make it harder for me to speak ill of them

This is me choosing to behave in The World of News. I'm choosing. To act right.
