be real about what you're competing with and what kind of money you're trying to make

when everyone's freaking out about how many games are being released but your next fest is pages and pages of micro indies that you're not competing with

the venerated cat monkey room guardian meme images. a white monkey cat looking thing sits on a box, holding out its arms in incredulous poses.

my steam wishlist is a huge pit of stuff that i don't necessarily even want to play, i just want to see how they're doing things, and if anyone bought me something off it i'd be likely very surprised

that being said, using it as a hopper to surface interesting demos during next fest is great

People are always rightly pointing out that Warhammer contributes more to the British economy than the fishing industry, but the problem is that there just aren't very many folk songs about Warhammer

Yeah. Going to a country to work implies you'll be taxed and will therefore need a visa, implying a certain type of work, usually paying less. Going for business means you're meeting people and having conversations... which will generate value in a much vaguer way, but nonetheless real value 🙃

That there's a difference between being somewhere for work and on business is trouble in itself isn't it

What an absolute treasure Diane Keaton was. Her wit never tired, nor did her style.

a bit of heartfelt, truthful, straight-talking, historically informed comms coming from a politician, will wonders never cease

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera

In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.

As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

David Simon, creator of ‘The Wire’, being interviewed by Ari Shapiro (NPR)

SHAPIRO: OK, so you've spent your career creating television without Al, and I could imagine today you thinking, boy, I wish I had had that tool to solve those thorny problems...
SIMON: What?
SHAPIRO: ...Or saying...
SIMON: You imagine that?
SHAPIRO: ...Boy, if that had existed, it would have screwed me over.
SIMON: I don't think Al can remotely challenge what writers do at a fundamentally creative level.
SHAPIRO: But if you're trying to transition from scene five to scene six, and you're stuck with that transition, you could imagine plugging that portion of the script into an Al and say, give me 10 ideas for how to transition this.
SIMON: I'd rather put a gun in my mouth.
