If people remembered that I fucked up for 2 years I’d be livid. If a time traveller told me my fuck up was remembered for thousands of years though id be so happy id probably die right there. Are you kidding? That’s so funny!!!

Back in September I did my first ever conference talk. It was a 5 minute lightning talk problematising “game feel” and offering an alternative framework for discussing the texture of games; for practitioners, critics, and academics alike. You can now watch it here! youtu.be/jhtzl1McGjE?...

One thing I believe more and more as I push myself creatively is that you don’t need to, and nor should you, intentionally write metaphors into your work. “Metaphors are real. Human philosophies meet nature and make metaphors” They’ll just show up. The best ones show up, and you nurse them quietly

I know it’s stupid to complain about spelling differences between American English and Australian/British English, but from a purely decorum point of view, American English looks baby mode. Rationalize? Okay little buddy I know you like Zs cus they’re edgy but use an S like an adult. Color? No. 👶

been having the music/games 'industry' parallel on the mind all the way through games week, and that always leads back to me thinking about steve albini being essentially my standard for the kind of person i want to be in a scene/community. heres a little something from a reddit ama he did ages ago

Connections don't mean shit. I've never had any connections that weren't a natural outgrowth of doing things I was doing anyway. Additionally, the people you might make connections with who work in the industry and value connections themselves, all those people are clueless assholes with no clout anyhow. You can tell because they think they can get somewhere with connections and spend their energy trying to make connections rather than being good at things, and being good at things is the only thing that earns you clout or connections.

It's a myth that you can get anywhere in music through connections. The guy on the other end of the connection has to be into what you're doing, and if you're doing it publicly and he's receptive, he probably hears about it on his own.

Don't worry about anything but making music you like. Everything else is bullshit.

Sorry to MTG post but I just put into words why I left the hobby. Universes beyond isn’t just “not MTGs soul” it’s literally THE OPPOSITE of what MTG was good at. The primary reaction they want from IP in Magic is “Oh I know what that’s a reference to.” It’s a world we *already know* 1/2

Thinking about how often I was taught to mourn how the convicts who were sent to Australia were often kids and/or committed a crime as simple as stealing a loaf of bread Meanwhile crimes like that are STILL punished extremely harshly if ur First Nations, black etc, but that never came up as much 🤔

Just came across this on Mastodon and thought I'd share it for anyone wondering if adding image alt text is "worth it." ChanceyFleet: "As a Blind person i never thought i would be on social media savoring photos... all dispatches from a dimension of the world that i otherwise wouldn't experience."

Screenshot: a Mastodon post by ChanceyFleet that says:

"As a Blind person i never thought i would be on social media savoring photos. But the communal Mastodon alt text game is so strong that sweet, poetic or silly descriptions abound on my timeline. Thanks to legions of people who take time to write a meaningful description of the ephemera they post, i learn so much about insects, plants, buildings, memes — all dispatches from a dimension of the world that i otherwise wouldn't experience. If you're wondering whether anybody reads these things: YES."

My boomer take in gaming is that I think you're a psycho if you use the analogue stick to navigate menus or control a character in a 2d platformer. That is the D-pad's job. If you MAKE a 2D platformer that can ONLY be controlled with the analogue stick? Hooo boy. Death sentence

Happy Labor Day! Today we're bringing you The First Union, as told by HBomberguy (@hbomberguy.bsky.social) and illustrated by Skutch (@skutchdraws.bsky.social) It's the dawn of the industrial revolution, and of the way many of us work... Have you ever heard of the term "Luddite" from an elder?

Stanhill, Lancashire, 1764. Wear and carpenter James Hargreaves invents the Spinning Jenny, the first practical spinning-frame, to make the tedious task of producing cloth a little bit faster. He doesn't know it yet, but this will destroy the world.

Spurred by inventions like his, the industrial revolution will transform everything -- work power, the wealth of nations. Society as we know it began here, and it wasn't great for everyone. But a group of weavers and textile workers saw this future coming. And did their best to prevent it.

"Curse you spinning jenny, you ruined everything!" The standard narrative does that LUDDITES were foolish lunatics who, in fear of technology, decided progress was bad, and started hitting it with sticks. But the truth is entire ways of life were being destroyed.

Previously, skilled craftsmen were respected for the time and effort it took to do their work. The entire family usit would form a cottage industry - creating something valuable, and command a decent living. But when a machine can work 10 times faster its owner can charge less for the prodcts- craftsmen couldn't compete and were left out of work almost overnight.

And as factories became a fixture of the british landscape, these now unemployed labourers often ended up working the factories that had just destroyed their way of life. Britain was the most prosperous nation in history, factory owners became extremely wealthy and influential. But the people doing the actual work saw almost none of it.

Factory work paid little, since "the machines" did "the real work" human labourers were deemed unimportant and replaceable. FUN FACT!: Factory owners preferred to hire ORPHANS since less people would notice if they were maimed or killed on the job!

Now the owners quickly realized the workers might notice they did all the work for almost no pay. If they went on STRIKE or ARGUED FOR HGHER WAGES, this would threaten their tremendous wealth. In 1799, Parliament passed the Combination Act, which made FORMING TRADE UNIONS, COLLECTIVE BARGAINING, AND GOING ON STRIKE ILLEGAL. Organizing against the rich became a crime.

If you were living through it, opposing the industrial revolution wasn't techno-phobia. It was SELF-DEFENSE. The combination act forced unions underground into secret societies. And the greatest secret of all was their leader - Ned Ludd. Ned had been a folk character for years. In one version after being whipped by his master, he smashed two knitting frames in a rage. In more fanciful versions, he then escaped to the Sherwood forest, here he lived among the animals as their king. Some versions specifically call him 'Much Better Than Robin Hood'.
