Union comrades - does your union have some sort of relief for people currently going through something? Be it a dispute, casework, organizing drive, etc?
Could you tell me (or even better link me) about the policy and how it works?

This discourse goes around every few months & it always highlights the same thing for me:
We need to adopt new & better terminology.
By the very definition of indie, BG3 & E33 are, in fact, independent (indie) games.
While I understand the sentiment here, arbitrary gatekeeping isn't helpful.

BALDUR'S GATE 3 IS NOT AN INDIE.
EXPEDITION 33 IS NOT AN INDIE.
DAVE THE DIVER IS NOT AN INDIE.
If you're making an Indie game of the year list, PLEASE consider the scope, funding, team, publisher, and contractors involved.
Rant over.

First look at the absolute most basic iteration of my game SlotCrawler - a dungeon crawling roguelite where you run around killing things with a magical slot machine full of knives & spells.
When it's a bit more done I'll throw up a steam page & get that ball rolling!

That's right. It's time for part 3 of the FPS series; this time, a lot of assorted thoughts on what makes for good enemy design. This one was fun as hell to write.

Horrible job uncertainty aside, I'm honestly kind of looking forward to the impending immolation of AAA games, as I genuinely think the industry that rises out of the ashes of the failed gavage of AI into everything we do, will be really some of the most creative & interesting we've ever seen.

MTG's biggest flaw is the land system.
Give me two decks, one with all my lands, one with all my other cards & the game would instantly improve by a factor of 100.
