That's what taxes are, man. That's the definition of taxes. "You are subsidizing things you might never use" man shut the fuck up. My taxes currently subsidize like oil company exec private jets, you think I'm upset at low-income people eating inexpensive bananas?

Thanks a ton to everyone who came out to my talk and to Creative Mornings for hosting me. Really cool to hear so much enthusiasm for community, how to support others in easy ways, and respond to over-competition in a destitute games industry with collaboration. I'll post again when it goes online.

my latest @consumerreports.org investigation is based on months of reporting and 120+ lab tests of popular snacks over a third of the products had more additives / contaminants in 1 serving than what health agencies have identified as safe to consume daily 🧵 www.consumerreports.org/health/food-...

consumerreports.org

Tests by Consumer Reports and Yuka found high levels of additives and contaminants in popular products from Cheetos, Hostess, Jell-O, Kool-Aid, Takis, and more.

At PIGCON last weekend a woman approached my table wanting to know all about what I make. I showed her each game and she said all kinds of sweet things, and before she walked away she very seriously said, "I'm sure your games have saved a few lives". I don't want to forget this, so I'm sharing it ❤️‍🩹

PIGCON vibes were immaculate. It felt like we were all just hanging out at a friend's house playing video games and talking. The showcase was fantastic, I spent too much money at artist alley. The LIVE T SHIRT PRINTING. The talks!! The music performances blew my socks off. Special stuff!

Witnessed a game called BLOODSPORT GAMBLING where you bet on who lives and dies among wretched nasty fighters with terrible secrets at PIGCon
