I think the most disappointing thing I found about the Future Class is how little opportunity they provided for the members to meet up. But I suppose we dont really need them for that.

Serious question, why does every single cosplayer I see cosplay the movie version of Pyramid Head when it is by far the ugliest?
He doesn't even have a pyramid on his head, it's a Tetrahedron!

okay, update: i have had this question answered, and I am now looking to speak to game QA testers ON the record about the weirdest, silliest-sounding things they've had to do to make sure games work. the wackier the better. happy to keep folks anon if they prefer. DMs open, email/Signal in bio
would anyone who works in or adjacent to game testing/QA be willing to answer a couple questions for me? off the record, not to be quoted - just need some background info on automations to know whether a scenario someone described in a talk is common or unusual.

I've reposted many posts made by folks who were recently laid off from Heart Machine, but here is a thread that highlights them all.
I am also including folks who were previously laid off & are still looking for work. I will be linking their Bsky posts, as well as LinkedIn.
Please, share this. 🖤

Any sewists on here?
I'm thinking about buying a sewing machine and want recommendations. I mostly want something that can handle thick fabrics, but I dont really need a lot of bells and whistles
