I keep seeing people throw out the term "Covid Correction" for the mass layoffs we continue to see in the games industry. We're beyond that. It's far beyond the mass hiring during Covid. It's mismanagement, poor trend chasing, cuts of departments to use AI (not as much but happening), etc.

This is true. In 2016, I got into an argument with a gay man on a menswear forum. I've since made it my mission to make every man dress gay, thereby destroying his ability to tell who is actually gay and, ultimately, his chances of finding love. I built my social media following to achieve that goal
Someone on Twitter writes to me: "People should follow your advise if they want to look gay."

I don't love dunking on folks but it's so fucking funny to me that Trump was convicted of 34 felonies 2 years ago, faced no punishment, and went on to win the presidency a second time and journalists are still like, "hmm, I have an inkling that maybe he believes he's above the law for some reason."
Post from NYT reporter Eric Lipton 

"What an odd moment in United States history.

A U.S. president is running an overtly political campaign advertisement, right before midterm elections, paid for by the U.S. government.

Trump appears to believe he is immune from any kind of legal limit."

Anyway, yes, it is a reference to David Lynch whose work has been very significant to me, but I didn't pick it just because I wanted to do a shoutout, I did it because it's a reference to him very specifically and intentionally saying "trans rights are human rights" and that shit is fucking true.

The corporation won't protect you. The corporation won't respect you. The corporation won't care for you. This is betrayal on such an unfathomable scale that I hope if anything, it can serve as a way for all of us to agree there is never a good reason to protect the corporation over your colleagues.

I cannot stress enough that the ENTIRETY of the evidence for the lab leak theory is the suspicious behavior of the Chinese government. That's it. The CCP tried to cover up the problem. Can you think of any other governments that behaved strangely at the beginning of the pandemic?

AAA development is not dying, it's being further consolidated and concentrated. Indie studios are not any more healthy, many of them are going bankrupt or laying people off, we just hear less about it because it's considered less newsworthy when 10 people lose their jobs than 1000.

I check Facebook 1-2x a month for family stuff. Turns out a few days ago my dad made a long post begging for understanding about trans people by his fellow boomers. Last paragraphs are below. Dad doesn’t always get it 100% right. He doesn’t need to. He loves and defends me; that’s all that matters
H. I have a trans daughter. She struggled to learn who she was.
She finally " got it" several years ago and has transitioned into a beautiful adult woman. I've seen the struggle up close. She has been mocked and beaten for being herself. I love her.
Personally I dont think I have the strength of character to do as she has, should I have been in that circumstance.
G. And finally..l just had to get this off my chest as I read, see and overhear uneducated, bigoted posts, stories, and conversation. Here's a testimony of a parent of a beautiful child..there are more of us than you know.
Hope this helps.
If I offends you..buh bye.
If you learned something..youre welcome.
IYKYK. PEACE AND LOVE ARE THE ONLY ANSWERS.
