Y'know, I don't think I've ever really dreaded Mondays as much as I do now, because Mondays are when all the emails bombard me the most.
The sheer volume of games I get offered either through PR contacts, Steam's curator connect, as well as Keymailer and Lurkit, and I have to decline so very many.

The truly scary thing about CC is that that ten minutes after govermnents have access to your private messages and videos, foreign govs, criminals and terror orgs will do, too.
No comms will be safe - not people's DMs to romantic partners, appointments with their doctors or their online therapy.

what i love is that in 1990 judas priest got brought to trial over the claim that subliminal messages in the recording "better by you better than me" caused two suicides and now in 2025 openai seems to be generating a suicide a week with its superliminal messages and the US government is funding it

If you're not, listen to this.
Get a guitar or some drums, or a trumpet. Pick up a brush, a pencil, some clay or a welder.
Just make shit. It doesn't have to be good (eventually it will be) just make music, art or write or whatever.
It's literally never been more important.

I wish cis people would understand just how stressful it is when every time there's news of gun deaths, far right trolls immediately jump to social media and claim the shooter is trans, and sometimes they'll circulate pictures of random trans women they want to incite violence against.

I wrote this piece about Trudi Warner and why juries are an important part of our constitution in April last year. I think particularly worth reading today.

High Court slaps down ‘fanciful’ prosecution of Trudi Warner | Good Law Project
Judge rules that the solicitor general ‘mischaracterised’ the evidence when he charged Warner with contempt of court for holding up a placard.

I've launched my Save/Load plugin for #UnrealEngine!
It can save and load the entire state of a level, with no per-actor setup required - it "just works" in most cases.
It's also optimised to load extremely fast when reloading from the same level.
Available now on Fab!

Folks, the law is an arse. Please remember the law isn't about what's ethical, right or wrong. The law is the law - it's made up - and sometimes it is absolute bullshit.

Thanks everyone, this has helped me buy some food and cover some bills for this month. I really appreciate the help. 🥰
Asking for help bridging a gap again. I'm still struggling with basic cost of living expenses. Trying to get part time JSB but even though I have filled out the online forms they're asking for all the information again on *manual* forms. I have only 30h/month work.

Seeing how much of the right-wing on Twitter is just bot farms, kinda lays bare how much hate and hatred is a project that needs to be constantly maintained, a fire that needs to be fed all the time lest it go out for a moment, so much time, effort, and resources to keep people angry and hateful.

I've done pixel art and on and off for years, and I think I'm at a point in my abilities now where I can begin taking commissions. If you're interested in getting a custom piece of pixel art by me, DM me for details!

“It's both possible, and even necessary, to simultaneously enjoy media while also being critical of its more problematic or pernicious aspects" was such a simple message that was so thoroughly and viciously rejected, but i think many of you still need to learn it

Did tech art, terrain and character art for this. Had a great time working with Mark on this and it's been so good to channel some of my inspiration from the Irish countryside into this project.
Hopefully it can come together into a final thing people can play in the not too distant future 🤞

12 weeks of prototype devving later
Taking a small break soon (and trying to find work), but delighted with how the project is coming together so far.
