WELL HOW ABOUT THAT
"A millionaire levy in Massachusetts has generated $3 billion more in revenue than expected without forcing significant high-profile departures from the state."

“We are told by leaders that we are the future. But when it comes to the ongoing pandemic, our present is being stolen right in front of our eyes.”
Incredible speech by Violet Affleck who warned about the ongoing dangers of COVID & Long Covid, & advocated for masks and clean air at the UN today!

City The Animation ep 2: "But the next artist is going to be Daisuke Naganohara-sensei."
Nichijou volume 10: Mio answering the phone as "Daisuke Naganohara"
realizing this connection 1000 years late
4 panel comic, 2 people ask a much smaller third, "hey what's your job?", who responds cheerfully "I'm a game developer!" The two of them look down skeptically with furrowed brows saying "what game are you working on now?" The smaller person says nothing, as red stamp stylized text above their head reads "CLOSED" "SHUTDOWN" "CANCELLED"
I hate it here #gamedev
Today's video is kind of both a low vision and accessible game Spotlight video, as it's a fighting game. Unfortunately there is no menu narration, or much in the way of single player content if that's what you're looking for: https://youtu.be/0hctUepzeLU?si=Fq-GcSshI--Jil1E
Hey good people!
I've been M.I.A. for a bit. I've been working on my CS Degree while as actively job hunting
Unfortunately my laptop is on its last legs and I could use some help covering my final term. A friend made me this fundraiser

Fire alarm went off at my hotel. If I look tired later it's because it's 3am 👁️👁️
I assure everyone who has said how disappointed they are that the Wonder Woman game isn’t happening?
Is not as devastated as those of us who lost years of work, effort & creativity that had been put towards bringing Diana to life in what would have been her first solo game.
Massive die-in in front of the New York Stock Exchange to protest the illegal cuts by DOGE and the Trump administration.
This forced deportation + disappearing attempt is so deeply evil
And mentioning for folks who quietly go "well she took the risk to protest": she didn't. The court summons she failed to disclose that got her flagged? Were from when she was caught up in protest arrests while trying to walk home
DID YOU KNOW YOU CAN GET 120 GLOW IN THE DARK TURTLES THROUGH AIRPORT CUSTOMS
IN UNRELATED NEWS, WE’RE BRINGING SOMETHING VERY COOL TO GDC TO CELEBRATE TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES: TACTICAL TAKEDOWN
If you’re going to GDC, here are some tips:
Don’t try to get someone drunk. Don’t spike anyone’s drink. Don’t touch anyone without explicit permission. Don’t assault anyone.
You will be found out and there will be consequences.
Yo tomorrow is a new day let's go! Together we are strong.
I did the same thing!
I'm a black Game Designer together we have power
"a computer can never be held accountable" is probably the strongest feature of AI
Spicy Post of the Month: Disabled people don’t need “special treatment”—they need what should’ve been accessible from the start. It’s not a handout; it’s a correction for bad design in our systems, services, and products.
A big reason to take a demo down is because it no longer shows the consumer an accurate picture of the game in development—and because maintaining a demo *drains resources from the final game*.
When it’s a choice between improving/fixing a demo and making a better game, I pick the game.
My heart goes out to the Monolith Team. I know y'all were making something amazing
Trans game dev friends of mine, I have a precocious fifteen-year-old trans guy high school student who is wanting to ask some interview questions. Four simple questions, relaxed deadline, no personal info required, it's more "how has being trans impacted the work you do" type stuff. Anyone keen?
To be clear and this is not an overstatement: Dismantling the U.S. Department of Education will be absolutely devastating for students with disabilities.
