Please don't post photos of dead children, or videos of dead children, or yell DONT LOOK AWAY. You are sick. Log off. Touch grass. You have PTSD and are inflicting it on us all. If you are not in media/ a conflict researcher/ etc you do NOT need to consume Horrors. Blocking lots right now.

I wanna give a shout out to @dhowl37.bsky.social

I couldn't remember who said it in the moment for the interview but since you commented the Black kids going to Narnia bit in response to the pilot it's truly resonated with me on such a deep level.

Pixel art of Browt from pokemon, a round yellow bird with a green beak and green leaf eyebrows. He's posed like a confused baby bird with a dropped coin next to him. A face only a mother could love.

so much of indie work is about throwing money or at least time into a black hole and praying your kidney doesn't rupture because that will be expensive both time and money-wise

A screenshot of an email from an ad agency to Evil Hat Marketing:

Hey Evil Hat team, 

Promised this is the last time you’ll hear from me.

We are wrapping up generating content on the house. The AI studio is starting to get fully booked with our paying clients, and I have strict orders to stop promoting this come the weekend.

I figured Evil Hat might as well get some work out of us at no cost while you can.

Want in before we close it up? 

Best,
[redacted]

And then our reply:

Hi [redacted],

We will never use AI for our games or for our marketing. It's toxic to our customer audience and it's an ethical violation of the hard work put in by the human artists we hire to illustrate our books and the human writers who design our games.

In short, it's not "free work" it's theft.

Feel free to take me off your mailing list. Hope you turn around your business model because frankly, your current approach sucks shit.

Look, I'm not a proponent of "You MUST belong to group X to write about/in the voice of a member of group X."

However, I am a HUGE proponent of "But don't be a fucking disrespectful dickbag about it! Understand systems of power! And intersectionality! And do your damn homework! For fuck sake!!!" πŸ€—

Hmm, I think I need to back burner my attempt at a pbta game but it is for one of the best reasons of "I have thought up a new mechanic that doesn't function within that system and it makes me excited to work with"

so, I guess I am just going to be making a "go hard, fight everything" game

A photo of Ginny Di standing in front of a castle, holding a barn owl on a falconer's glove. Superimposed on the image is boxed text that reads "If I disappear for a few hours it's because I started researching medieval falconry for a joke and now I know too much."

Did you know falconry was one of few medieval sports that both men & women were welcome to participate in? Peregrine falcons were a popular bird for ladies because they're small. Also, they apparently hunt by PUNCHING OTHER BIRDS OUT OF THE SKY WITH THEIR CLOSED FISTS.

There's a shitload of people out of work and a lot of important work to be done and it is madness-inducing how the overwhelming majority of our leaders don't care that those two problems can solve each other.
