Hey y'all, reminder that I'll be at GDC giving two (2) talks!
Monday at 11:50, I'll be talking about how we can make board games better for the planet.
Friday at 12:30 (new time!) I'll be at the Experimental Games Showcase talking about how the escape room in my apartment made my friends cry.
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.

hi! i'm the Community Manager for Black Tabby Games and Sunset Visitor. you might assume from my job title that i'm quite comfortable with socializing... but i struggle with it pretty often!
if you do too, here's a handy article for navigating GDC (Great Difficulties with Communicating) 💖
"Yo brother, legal team confirmed that we can't work with minor..."
With GDC only a few days away, I added @nicolecarpenter.bsky.social's brilliant gaming union zine/explainer to archive.org. The previous host for the PDF added a monthly subscription.
Please feel free to print and share as you wish!

I feel kinda stuck working on my game leading up to GDC next week. Like, I have a lot I want to do to get it ready to casually show people at the conf, but my brain is having trouble prioritizing what to focus on. Ahh! Anyway, if you want to see my weird edutainment game at GDC, find me!
In today's piece, @applecider.bsky.social gets personal about mental health, ADHD, and achievement-seeking coping mechanisms.

Magus joins party or Frog turns back into a human?
GDC/tech conferences should have a little label you can wear on your badge to tell other people, "please take your AI glasses off when talking to me or I will snatch them off your face and snap them in half."
if your AI friend said it was jumping off a cliff, would you do it too?
This is absolutely vile. Complete derangement and detachment from the loss of human life taking place. If Activision as a company won't take a stand against this condemning the use of their IP for this then I certainly expect we will see people working on these games speak up if they haven't already
We were once a society.
I'm still mad they took "based" from Lil B the Based God
"The flow of time is always cruel.
Its speeds seems different for each person, but no one can change it.
A thing that doesn't change with time is a memory of younger days."
found out today that a former student of mine died late last year, struck by a car while coming home from school. I'm so sad. I was so proud of how much he grew artistically, technologically, emotionally, confidence, etc over the 4 years he was my student. We had some fun times in class! RIP Nathan.
death to vibe coding
How to win in November
You asked for it! The long-awaited sequel to You Are Jeff Bezos is finally here:
YOU ARE ELON MUSK
200+ passages. 7 endings. Secrets. In-jokes. Giant robots. All with the purpose of doing one thing: SPENDING ALL OF ELON MUSK'S FUCKING MONEY

I question how many are paid political operatives who are very intentionally trying to drive a wedge in voters along lines of race and gender.
a student at the school I teach at (who isn't in my classes), came to me today asking for help with his code for his music app he's trying to make -- basically spotify without the ads. He's vibe coding it and doesn't know anything about programming yet. bruh.
I too have a Resident Evil Requiem interview for your reading pleasure. I spoke with Angela Sant’Albano about playing Grace Ashcroft.
Extending til tonight, sending acceptances soon.

I've re-met tons of people where I remember meeting them before years ago, but IDK if they remember, so we're just gonna act like this is our first time. Cool, second chance at first impression!
bruh I'm at a teaching conference, in my hotel room. I watched a bunch of teens get in a fight outside my window. Apparently one had a knife and it turned into a homicide. So now I'm waiting for a detective to come interview me later tonight after giving an earlier statement to the cops. what???
if u are going to gdc please come to this talk about how we made despelote schedule.gdconf.com/session/desp...
