Between Chadwick Boseman, James Van Der Beek, so many others, and now this, the fact that so many young people have been getting cancer and have to jump through so many hoops just to get treatment is a scathing indictment of the fucked up American healthcare system
Christy Carlson Romano, known for Even Stevens and as the voice of Kim Possible, reveals she has tested positive for cancer.
She now needs a PET scan to determine if it’s stageable and is currently fighting insurance to have the scan covered.

disrespectfully, what the fuck are you talking about. you don't need an ID at the library. you need a library card, which anyone can get.
Leavitt: "You need an ID to go and purchase alcohol. You need an ID to go to the library and check out a book. So the president thinks you should have an ID to vote in our nation's elections."

before signing with @outersloth.com, i tell devs to reach out to teams we've worked with so they get a sense of what it's actually like to be with us!!
whoever u sign with, check with others! most are more than happy to chat (and don't just talk to the most successful games under the label either.)

Reminder to other indie dev teams especially new teams. Most of us are happy to share advice and give feedback on publisher/funding/platform deals and terms. There are some shady predatory biz weasels that will take advantage of you as soon as your game starts to pop off. Please reach out.

I'll never forget how Eka in the last minute saved us from signing a bad deal for Venba.
He gave us so much help and only asked in return was we help others like he helped us, which I'm trying my best to do, especially with emerging devs.
Reach out! There are a lot of parasites hoping you won't.

If you don’t read old stuff you’ll never discover that people in the olden days had the same thoughts and feelings and dreams and anxieties you do, sometimes articulated differently, sometimes exactly the same way. You are never truly alone in anything and old writings are a neon sign telling you so

blue prince is a marvel and a labor of love. creator tonda ros, though, harbors no delusions that he can do it again -- at least, not at the pace he did it the first time
![There’s a reason Ros wasn’t able to include absolutely everything he’d mapped out in Blue Prince’s release version: He was already working himself to the bone.
"I was working, I think, 80 hours a week for eight years straight," he said.
Whatever comes after, he added, will necessarily dial things back at least a bit in terms of ambition.
"Blue Prince will likely be the most ambitious game I ever make, because I don't think I physically can do this again,” Ros said. “It was an incredibly long journey, so it might take as much time [to make my next game], but I certainly won't be working as hard. ... That's just not sustainable now. It's a young man's game."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:5gdejlhcswjbzraadoltdpps/bafkreib6d4in3uszbw6r6sksulogenzicdq4ktr7cs6eexfagnnjgybz3y@jpeg)

The actual secret to my success is that I attended a magnet school program for creative writing in high school that existed as a remnant of the desegregation program
I regularly see people wondering how it's possible that there are so many musicians and writers and film makers and artists from a tiny nation like Iceland.
And the answer is really simple: State funding for art education and artists. I literally get a salary from the government to write books.

I’m constantly astounded at the sheer level of artistic production coming out of Iceland. Novels, movies, music. Amazing.

AAA industry’s boner for hollywood orchestral has effectively resulted in major franchises with no recognizable music. do you ever think about how weird it is that assassin’s creed doesn’t have a unifying theme because i’ve played all twenty of em and think about it regularly
AAA games are technically very impressive and still a great time, but I can’t think of too many things more representative of losing your sauce than needing to combine multiple series to have enough recognizable music for a concert tour, and then quietly canceling that concert tour early anyways

The problem with 'name and shame' is that sexism is so endemic to the games industry you'll just be called difficult/a paranoid bitch/someone who needs to watch her step if you say anything.
And often our female colleagues are alongside the problematic men disbelieving our complaints

"name and shame them" so yeah the number of times I've seen multiple women come together with binders of evidence about a single man and essentially nothing happened to him kiiiinda discourages that approach
