been having the music/games 'industry' parallel on the mind all the way through games week, and that always leads back to me thinking about steve albini being essentially my standard for the kind of person i want to be in a scene/community. heres a little something from a reddit ama he did ages ago

Connections don't mean shit. I've never had any connections that weren't a natural outgrowth of doing things I was doing anyway. Additionally, the people you might make connections with who work in the industry and value connections themselves, all those people are clueless assholes with no clout anyhow. You can tell because they think they can get somewhere with connections and spend their energy trying to make connections rather than being good at things, and being good at things is the only thing that earns you clout or connections.

It's a myth that you can get anywhere in music through connections. The guy on the other end of the connection has to be into what you're doing, and if you're doing it publicly and he's receptive, he probably hears about it on his own.

Don't worry about anything but making music you like. Everything else is bullshit.

Real opening paragraph in an Official Nintendo Magazine feature

"I once punched my younger brother so hard in the chest that he vomited up that morning's breakfast - cornflakes mainly. It wasn't technically the Heimlich manoevre, as he wasn't choking and I wasn't trying to save him-"

electability is the least of my worries man. you win when your policies are implimented, you don't win when you're the one doing them.

encouraging thing about polanski is to see someone recognising the job of a minority party leader isn't necessarily to win national elections, it's to extend the arguments that centrist parties aren't willing to and reframe the limits of public discourse. this has been farage's method for 20 years!

what a refreshing change to see a politician stand firmly on trans rights, refuse to concede the right-wing framing of trans people as "a problem", and rightly call out ridicule and bigotry in the guise of "common sense"

TIPS FOR GETTING BETTER AT DEADLOCK:

- Understand the threat level of spending time in areas of the map where enemies could quickly respond
- Keep an eye out for enemies on the map! If they're not there, they could be right next to you!
- Throw on Slayer's '86 album Reign in Blood

the real secret to getting high traffic indie game coverage is having an interesting game that people would actually want to read about

Maxi Molina @maximjdev.bsky.social · 5d

Pretty much nobody cared about The Hayseed Knight's press releases "this whatever game is coming out" news in sites that would even give me the time of day, but it only took @dashiellwood.com finding a good angle to tell the story for the article to go viral everywhere!! There's an audience!!

i wish games editorial could freely share their traffic data so that indies could understand just how little traffic their launch news after 7 years of dev does compared to like. Widely Anticipated AAA Game Posts Trailer Showing New Character's Face For 3 Total Seconds
