I've been running gdcparties.com for a few years now. Some shitty company BlueberryAI decided they'd just take all the source code for the work I've done and reskin it, advertising it as their own. Jokes on them...it was still linked to my events spreadsheet, and now their website looks like this 😉

should do studies like this more often

Do you ever see a meme exactly once and no matter how much you search you can never find it again, so you just photoshop it from memory

Panel 3: one of the other monkeys, now looking super buff and badass, grabs him by the arm to save him heroically. “Monkey Stronger Together.”

It’s not about whether you personally like or dislike remote work - it’s about executives trying to strip options, jobs & rights away from *everybody*.

Working remotely is not just a better setup for many disciplines: it allows teams to include different people w/ different strengths & experiences.

I’ve met so many people who are so apprehensive about unions, it boggles my mind. Doom and gloom attitude does nothing for me, we have to come together to demand change.

I'm going to try my best to shout out indie/any games that I play and recommend, since I feel like I don't always do a good job of that. I'll start the thread here and update it when I can
