Hai folks, I'm Kaiju (they/them), nice to eat ya 🦖

I'm a non-binary gamedev & journalist with a love of all things giant monster

I make games about queerness & systemic injustice, talk about BattleTech way too much, and love to chat to queer game devs who love to talk

One of the reasons I've never bought into AI doomerism, is that to believe "it's here to stay, get used to it!" you have to buy into the idea that AI generated elements are so hardcoded or integral as to be permanent, when they really aren't.

You can simply remove it, and it's gone just like that.

Instead of doing a consumerism on "Black" Friday, consider supporting small businesses, dropping a few coins in someone's ko-fi or go fund me, sign up for their patreon instead.

Life is expensive, things are hard. Drop coins to humans, not AI, or big corporations today.

QRP with your links!

Fuck the prime directive anyway, but especially while we're subjected to active epistemicide. The more eggs you can crack, the more trans girls in the world who are informed enough & personally invested enough to resist our genocide. We can resist the cis by merely being there in growing numbers...

It's still the 27th somewhere, so here's a monstrously happy 60th birthday to my favourite kaiju of all time, friend to all children, guardian of the universe & source of hope when all things are dark, Gamera!

This giant turtle has such a special place in my heart, and I'll love them forever 💜🐢🎈

I made a promise to myself years ago that I would never publish on Steam unless they started doing right by developers
They never did

They don't respect games as art, don't stand up against bigotry & abuse, & don't help market indie games unless they are already successful

They aren't your friends
Part of the 30% cut that Valve takes is the implicit agreement that they'll protect developers from the hassle of dealing with individual payment providers, and if they're not actually willing to go to bat for us, why are we paying them so much again
Saw someone cite the Collective Shout thing and payment processors in regards to the Horse situation and say "Valve can't fight them by itself", and I think we maybe shouldn't be defending multi-billion dollar companies for arbitrary takedowns of artistic works and acting like they're the little guy

Been kind of busy focusing on my application for disability pension, something I'd not thought I'd be applying for at this stage of my life but there you go, and it's been burning up all my available spell slots

Lots of stuff going on in this monster's head, but still around as best I can be 💜🦖

Game is out now! Go play 'The Acid Queens of the Moon' by @aircrystal.bsky.social

I recorded/composed + edited all the sound effects and probably the best credit given to me yet: 'purchasing of cheese sticks.'

This is actually relatively new (existed all my lifetime tho) and was a batshit response to THE RED SCARE of Communism.

And yes, it's a creepy loyalty oath for kids that we shouldn't do. It also contains religious references which should be illegal. It's been challenged in court maaaaany times.
In the US, schoolkids pledge allegiance to the flag. Guess why no one else does this.

One of my favorite things is getting to tell friends who are new to NYC that the subway "stand clear of the closing doors please" voice is a trans woman named Bernie Wagenblast and she's amazing.

For @aftermath.site, I spoke to @imodrew.bsky.social, the Sucker Punch dev fired after making a Charlie Kirk joke.

She paints a picture of an industry that all too often ignores bad actors until those bad actors threaten them financially.

We did something different with the credits for Demonschool. We used this format: name, title, lengthy description of what they did. Often you see credits in games where you don't know what the credited developer was actually responsible for. We wanted to give people proper, actual credit.

Any one of these massive AAA videogame companies could file suit against the 6-piece Chicken McNobody ringleaders harassing their employees, and that they don't is a choice. I said before of goobergate that the industry enjoys having a bunch of unpaid Pinkertons around too much to ever give it up.

Hello Bsky, I’ve made this new account because my previous one was suspended, and I wasn’t given any real reason. Of course, I’m not a scammer or a bot. I have many satisfied clients here and good friends who know me.
