Oh my god no way

God it would be so awesome to get accepted to more than one comics event so we could actually like. sell the graphic novel we spent years of our lives working on. That would be so cool.

movie was that bad?

It was so wonderful getting to meet and hang out with you! 😭💖 I completely agree!!!

And I only had one incident where it was another attendee harassing me, everything else was just, like, people in SF lol. Which is crazy to me. Yall have seen gay people before.

You know I agree with you and that I am almost always the queer who this happens to but sometimes this does just happen in casual new group convos in ways that are not, like, inherently unfriendly. "Oh didn't she just say something like that" "I think he's going to that panel too" etc

Realizing I think I've been debilitatingly anxious about GDC instead of excited because of how badly I got harassed last year lol (not by fellow attendees). Genuinely saddening but I think I might not go as all out as I usually do with my wigs and makeup because I don't expect things have improved

Oh fuck yes congrats!!!

An incomplete etiquette guide for attending in-person gaming events Natalie Checo of Sunset Visitor demystifies the tough balancing act of meeting people in person at game conferences

We heard some folks get nervous about attending gaming events in person, for a lot of reasons. @heartimecia.bsky.social has some hard-earned advice for having fun, being respectful, and getting the most out of cons like GDC.

Every time I log onto this app it feels like touching a hot stove

THIS IS WHAT SAM ALTMAN WANTS TO TAKE FROM YOU

Abolish the legal gender marker entirely. No government can be trusted to have a database of which people have changed theirs, no government has any business tracking what your gender is "supposed" to be in the first place.

saying this with affection and as a compliment: she already has Umamusume character design

As a lifelong New Englander even reading this made my hackles raise before a little scheming vizier inside me whispered "What if he speaks the truth..."

Hey I'm gonna bring some copies of The Vow with me to GDC because why not. Lemme know if you want me to bring you one, they're $30

The other nice thing is that I'm recovering from the worst burnout I've ever felt in my life and I finished an outline for a new project and I'm feeling really energized and excited about it! I'm honestly doing great lately. Here are pictures of Mika

I had actually resolved not to go this year but then HORSES picked up some IGF noms! Wow!!! Thank you!!! 😭💖

Hi! I am still taking a social media hiatus because it's much better for my brain not to be on here right now. But I just wanted to say I will be at GDC and hopefully I'll see some of you there 💙

Ok I gotta take a break for a bit yall be good

今年もよろしくお願いします！！
