I appreciate that, however, this is general discourse I have heard in various spaces I occupy in the game industry over the years. And here in Bluesky. It is the most fetid of horseshit.

Before you buy Girl Scout cookies you should know they support transgender girls and reject donations from anti-transgender organizations. Then buy a couple more boxes

"Hacking it" a lot of times means dealing with unreasonable hours, low pay, no respect, disrespect of disabilities, and the looming terror of getting laid off at the end of a project.

If someone expresses their desire, intention, or musing to leave the games industry the response should not be "Couldn't hack it, huh?"

No one should need to "hack it".

With the holidays upon us, don't give to Salvation Army. Not even change. It's a scumbag "charity" run by anti-gay zealots.

Habitat for Humanity is great. Your local Food Bank is great.

So many "charities" are for-profit scams. Use Charity Navigator to vet them. www.charitynavigator.org

Fun fact about the Salvation Army: they use a form of substance use treatment called work therapy. Oh, and by treatment, I mean they have people who have been convicted of drug charges work for their stores & warehouses in exchange for room, board, around a $1 a week, and minimal actual therapy.

I do! I'm just greedy for turkey. Second thanksgiving is grilled cheese and tomato soup, as is tradition round here.

To every young or aspiring dev out there, look, some free advice. (Older devs, you know better. 💀)

For any game you are going to work on that has any GLIMMER of possible localization. Or editing. Or anything involving writing really...

DO NOT HARD-CODE THE VO/NON-VO/UI TEXT STRINGS.

"Hard coded text strings."

Anybody into transformer art?
Got an artist looking to sell these works with no background.

They aren’t super cheap, but still, mega hard to find.

Holler if you or a buddy is interested.

The message must be "No bailouts for billionaires." AI is not too big to fail. And should it fail, the richest men in the world should be held accountable and take responsibility for their failures.

How do I explain to offline people that my favorite Japanese mascot said "we can only be liberated from queer oppression if we are truly seen as human" and then started wielding fireworks like a rocket launcher on the side of a mountain without sounding like I've totally lost it?

Chiitan has a dream.
I hope that one day the term LGBT will become a thing of the past.
I will continue to spread my message until we live in a world where everyone can love freely and is free from persecution and discrimination.
Until then, let's all support each other🤍
