Every time someone hits $1 billion in wealth, they're taxed at 100% of every penny they accrue in excess of that.

They can increase their limit by $1 billion IF they prestige down to $500 and a phone and start over.

First-of-a-kind study shows encouraging data for trans kids who socially transition Ninety-four percent of participants in a new study stood firm in their trans identity after five years, and "detransitioning" is rare.

The name "Popular Science" doesn't mean we shift our coverage depending on public opinion. It means we cover relevant subjects that are rigorously researched, reliable, and grounded in reality.

And trans lives are grounded in reality.

We see y'all. No matter what.

Against 'Metroidbrania': a Landscape of Knowledge Games What are knowledge games? How do we relate them to each other? What sub-genres exist – and which ones might be implied?

I really do hate the term 'metroidbrania'. I think so do many of you. Let's nip it in the bud before it becomes something people are financially invested in.

All five cards of Yu-Gi-Oh's Exodia The Forbidden One (arms and legs, etc), but the central card has been altered to be called "Exododus", with a dodo's face overlayed on top of the original art

I will remind folks those images of Nazi book burnings aren't burning just any books. They're burning the library of Magnus Hirschfeld; a gay, Jewish doctor who created an institute dedicated to LGBTQ sex education and healthcare. And a man who pioneered gender affirming care surgeries.

Alright D&D players, let's chat.

Right now you have tons of great alternatives to the dragon game. I want to tell you why you should consider Dragon Slayers as your new heroic fantasy.

Come along! 🧡

Today is #GAAD, Global accessibility awareness day, and if it is ONE thing I want you to take from this day, it is this:

Accessibility is not the strive for perfection, it is steps towards improvement ❀️

I see so many devs, studios and publishers who thinks that they are only

The european citizens' initiative to ban conversion therapies in the EU only has 250k signatures and needs to amass 1 million in the next 7 days... If you live in the EU, please sign it (you can't otherwise); if you don't, please share it around.

Scope is key. Pretend you have half the time you actually do, and plan around that.

If possible, give yourself time to polish! Try to have a running build significantly earlier than the deadline.

Remember to eat, drink water, and sleep! You work better when you're not running on fumes

Good luck!

Hey! I really felt the weight of everything last week, and I wanted a way to talk through it... so I've been working on (maybe the first???) choose your own adventure game set up directly *in* Bluesky. And here it is!

Would you like to visit the Garden of Fortune with me?

Enter the garden.

Genuine response: shareholder capitalism. Once all of these big companies went public, they now had to deliver year over year profits. Thats inherently unsustainable/impossible, and even more so when you aren’t selling a uniform product: art. They want their money and they want it now.

Probably the gallery for me as well, haha. There are a couple others I still haven't solved despite drafting them often though

Hi Bluesky, could really use your help πŸ™πŸ™

We just launched our latest game Starless Abyss - the exact week that Oblivion was shadow-dropped. Which has been *not fantastic* for our launch

If anyone can spare a RT, that would be so, so helpful ❀️❀️

Your posts about it made me give 2 another try a month or two ago, and I really enjoyed it. Still haven't finished a campaign, but got way further

Did you know…? Men represent 75% of the games industry workforce. Yet women and girls make up half of all gamers around the world (and, of course, 50% of the population).
With your help, we can increase representation and opportunities for women in the industry. Please donate now: shorturl.at/ModYx

@paigeedits.bsky.social and I want to buy folks copies of South of Midnight, especially if you are, or know, someone who doesn’t normally get to see themself reflected in the games they play.
