Right now the world is full of people who want to code and write and paint and film stuff and people who want to play and read and look at and watch stuff and nobody is allowed to do any of that because some unrelated third guy isn't making enough money off the deal

VERY excited to share this big project. Many games are made in Canada, but few are *set* here.
 So, I spoke to 20+ devs who have been making all kinds of games that take place in Canada.
 From showcasing stunning landscapes to telling diverse stories, these games paint a vivid portrait of Canada. 🍁

Canada rarely gets to play itself -- these games are changing that
From showcasing stunning geography to telling diverse stories, here's how developers are representing Canada in their games.

Some people seem to get a little annoyed when I spend a good chunk of my design talks on good communication and the ability to trust and delegate being absolutely vital to team dynamics… but truly, over the years I have seen SO many incredibly skilled teams fall apart and it’s miserable for all 😭

Really wanted to make something to celebrate TLD Wintermute Episode 5, so here are Astrid and Mackenzie in my first attempt to "paint" using polymer clay! I very much hope players enjoy the episode, and am so thankful I got to play a part in its completion ❄️❄️❄️ @thelongdark.bsky.social
A magnet out of polymer clay featuring Astrid and Mackenzie close together, with an aurora behind them. The magnet is lying on snow.A few different photos of the magnet - showing one on the fridge, one in my hand, and a WIP version on my messy crafting desk

This is just going to always be my go-to response to this kind of thing anthonymoser.github.io/writing/ai/h...
I do understand: you want permission. There's a machine in the corner wrapped in human skin that makes things out of shit and blood to look like whatever you want (as long as you don't look too closely). You gave one to your teacher and they didn't notice. Your boss told you to use it after they laid off half the team and it was fine. You fed one to your kids and they liked it. You want to know you can use it sometimes without me thinking less of you. You don't need me to believe it's useful, you just want me to be polite about it.

But I am a hater, and I will not be polite. The machine is disgusting and we should break it. The people who build it are vapid shit-eating cannibals glorifying ignorance. I strongly feel that this is an insult to life itself.

Since Polygon is leaving it out of the headline: Epic Games partnered with The Game Awards to put money into the pocket of a bigot who uses her wealth to further the genocide of trans people through lawsuits and legislation. Every 'free' game gives money directly to JKR, and they are complicit.

Tax payer this and tax payer that. It's not your money! It is technically all of our money. It's supposed to be used to help create a better society. But you only seem to complain about how it's spent when it's helping vulnerable people. And not those who are extremely wealthy.
