I am skipping reposting the cis het White guys who hop on #WhatAGameDevLooksLike

You’re 74% of the industry, what people assume a dev looks like & you’re missing the point of why the hashtag was created by @drjclau.bsky.social

We didn't ruin the economy.
We didn't get you laid off.
We didn't replace you with AI.
We didn't raise gas prices.
We didn't foreclose your home.
We didn't cause your divorce.
We didn't get your kid snatched by ICE.
We aren't in the Epstein files.

Leave us the fuck alone.

People pleasing. Nobody was born with the urge to people please. We learn it from environments where either we're traumatized to feel safest when we people please, or where we're traumatized to feel like people pleasing is the only way to secure the love and attention we crave.

I'm kind of shocked this hasn't happened already given how many non-ganon antagonists the franchise has.

It’s only a big “conversation” when you act like it has to be?

With our kids, the one sort of tough part was telling them that some in the world still disapprove of gay people. But that those prejudiced people are wrong.

Otherwise no big deal.

Now, talking with them about Death - THAT was hard.

uhhh it’s not like this usually

Props to the media for covering this! As always, continue to spread the word and let's get Ludovic back home to Maryland! #FuckICE #FreeLud

that's a heater. That's up there with the one about accessibility being about making sure people aren't losing because of the wrong things

A friend of mine who runs these things always repeats something to me along the lines of "Playtests and Research isn't for telling you the right thing to do, it's to confirm to you that your assumptions are correct and that your intentions are getting through to the players" and that's stuck with me

imo playtesting should be in service of your vision, not deciding what the vision should be

#FREELUD UPDATES:
- Lawyer calling for a bond hearing in MA that must occur within 10 days.
- Lud remains at risk, even if he is released. Deportation hearing in May.
- HOW TO HELP: Continued donations, sharing articles on Lud’s story, and/or calling your reps if you live in MA.

Back before my spirit was crushed, I thought the popularity of Dark Souls would force a rethink of this. "I got lost in a swamp and then spent 4 hours dying over and over to the same boss, 10/10, game of the year".

Instead, we got "it's actually a challenge for epic gamers only, git gud casuals".

I suppose 16-bit Pixel Art, but largely graphical style matters less for me as long as it's cohesive or adds to the narritive of the story.

please comment because this site doesn't do polls >:(

when you're buying indie games, what graphics do you gravitate to?

★ realistic
★ hand-painted
★ pixel
★ low-poly
★ cel-shaded
★ voxel
★ anime

I'm doing research and need help - thank you! :D

I just want to make games, man

This is who will replace Crockett in the House

Working in an arcade is reminding me just how many games could work in arcades with minor tweaks. A good example is One Step From Eden/Duelists of Eden.

Maryland professional gamer, Ludovic Mbock of Oxon Hill, has been detained by ICE in Baltimore

Gaming pro from Cameroon detained by ICE for deportation An Oxon Hill-based computer gaming champion is facing deportation, and his family says his life would be in peril in his native Cameroon.

He thought it was a routine ICE check-in. Now his family fears he’ll be deported to a country where he is not safe.

What's scary about this story is the surveillance it hints at. This trans woman had changed her name, legally, but chose not to change her gender marker. She was apparently flagged in the DMV system as trans and her license was invalidated under a law that supposedly only concerned gender markers.
