post from @MoviusC on fka twitter: The weak cunt says in his heart, "I will not play Sudden Death, the Aussie Rules Footy themed interactive fiction from the latest Domino Club game jam."

likely accidental like everything else in the show but alien earth's protagonists reflecting exactly who the audience for the show is (children in adult bodies) is pretty funny to me

yeah im inclined to agree but i dislike that particular aphorism for Reasons and part of it is it tends to erase individual people doing actual work, in favour of the nebulous concept of a "community" which inevitably attracts a certain type of grifter who takes credit for other people's work. lol 😇

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.

'indie game devs' thinking making games is somehow like making movies when really at our level making games is exactly like being in a band

typically when i arrive in a new location i send out a pulse, an electromagnetic wave that helps me "see" the surroundings. it also helps me locate nearby objects of interest to my mission, like power sources or communication hubs
