MA based game developer. Bisexual woman. Salty. I post anonymously because I'm trying to find a job right now. Here to talk about games, politics, and art.

bad UX while using a modern piece of software: inexcusable, horrid, I want a refund bad UX of trying to set up a multiplayer session for a 25 year old abandonware game: immaculate, joyous, full of soul

"What's it like working in the game industry?" "You ever have an ex break up with you in public and then go on to flaunt a new partner-of-the-week until they've dated and burned everyone in town, and you'd think they'd run out of bodies, but it just never ends due to high tourism? Like that."

Happy Labor Day! We’re out in Nashville to remind everyone that Starbucks has become the poster child for corporate greed. If you support workers, it’s time to BOYCOTT STARBUCKS until they stop stonewalling the over 12,000 union baristas fighting for a fair contract!

It is so strange how the narrative around estrangement centers the abusers and minimizes or even blames the victims. I have to believe this is related to upcoming swell of aging/ nursing home population and that they will try to make kids foot the bill, filial responsibility will become a huge topic

I somehow missed this WSJ interview with the people who recruited Graham Platner to be a US Senator. I don't have a nice way to say this: I don't think I've ever had such a visceral hatred of two people in my entire life. And yeah this guy, Daniel Moraff, is a serial sexual harasser, of course.

"When national leaders say a particular group is murdering innocents, are a threat to the nation, are an infection, are ungrateful and undeserving & will destroy us—those words r not just words. They r a call for discrimination, for violence, & ultimately for genocide."

wrote about why ICE keeps killing people. it's because they're part of a pretty explicitly genocidal project. trump wants them to kill people, and so they do. www.everythingishorrible.net/p/ices-missi...

I’m just going to point out that many, many, many people have been predicting for literally years that this was the next step after the fake trans panic. You cannot endorse the policing of anyone else’s body and expect that yours will remain free.

My god. The Heritage Foundation, which mercilessly attacked transgender kids in order to protect the "integrity of women's sports," is now attacking the legal basis for women's sports. The transgender student decision is barely 2 weeks old.
