@ro-hann-yo
rohann - she/her/they recently ditched a PhD to make games bc it's way more fun and life is too short learning pixel art, godot 4 (2D + GDscript), music & sfx, and games writing (IF) my first ever (kinda playable) game: ro-hann.itch.io/botberry-patch

The #bogjam with #cafedot was so fun! 1st game, 1st game jam, 1st time using Godot...a last-minute scramble bc my team fell apart 2 days before the deadline (life happens, & that's ok!)
I'm proud I submitted *something* bc I struggle w/ perfectionism

Every night @maddow.msnbc.com has a first segment that runs through protests and town halls held in last 24 hrs and if you are feeling like nobody is feeling like you feel or you donโt know what to do: start by watching these and then find your people in your area. They are everywhere.
The world needs more examples of women throwing out men who are comfortable voting for politicians and parties that want to make women second-class citizens. We had to wade through a lot of blandness to get here but itโs almost worth it. #LoveIsBlind
NetEase laid off Marvel Rivals devs despite $136M January revenue. Game Director Thaddeus Sasser among those let go. #MarvelRivals #NetEase #GamingNews #GamingLayoffs #GameDev
The video game industry is starting to look like a series of scams targeting gamedevs
like other examples before. even making the big game thats made huge profits dosnt stop the devs being fired. Keep an eye out for executives suddenly having a big bonus. Sad to see as the devs did really good work.
"Heads I win, tails you lose", the story of capitalism
Game devs really need to unionize. This Alex Pareene piece comparing film studios, who make a movie and then disband the team every time by design, with game studios who *pretend* to have a permanent work force, really stuck with me. newrepublic.com/article/1626...
The tech industry needs unions like the film industry does.
This is awful.
unionize, unionize, unionize, unionize
One more time for the people in the back:
"Making Video Game Studios publicly traded companies is the worst thing to ever happen to video games." - Edge Magazine August 2024
Remember, if your game flops you will be fired, and if your game is a wild success you will also be fired.

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent.
Opportunities are everywhere.
Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Donโt take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are ๐

The idea that I should be constantly doing (or absorbing) something all the time is my brain's worst problem that's taken over during the last 5+ years. So I say spend that 5 minutes (and more) deliberately doing nothing. Try to enjoy where your mind goes when you're just being, instead of doing
just from a folklore point of view, "attractive hooded man kills billionaire head of hated business with bullets inscribed with political slogans and then vanishes" is narratively breathtaking
Yes! There was one back a few months back from the former Dramione Writers Society, called "The Story of Us." My current WIP longfic is from that fest!
But there can never be too many TSwift fests imo๐

A poem by Langston Hughes titled "Tired". It reads as the following: "I am so tired of waiting, Aren't you, For the world to become good And beautiful and kind? Let us take a knife And cut the world in two -- And see what worms are eating At the rind."
I've been thinking about this poem by Langston Hughes recently and although it was published in 1931, it remains relevant as ever.
