Hey everyone. 

Last night, to my great surprise, I received a long email from Saber Interactive CEO Matt Karch. He apologized unreservedly for the awful way he spoke about me in the press. The email’s full text will stay between us; I’m not that kind of girl. But I have confirmed it was from him. 

Matt said he regretted escalating, and how people online were speaking about me. I’m not worried about being called slurs by random commenters—I’m a trans woman, that’s every day for me—but it stunk to have my skill and reputation built of 20 years in games publicly maligned by someone with institutional power. One thing I saw people saying about me, and that Matt fueled the flames of too, was that this is not my first time calling a former employer out, so I must love drama or be hard to work with. The truth is, bad treatment is everywhere in games; I’m just more willing than others to call it out. And I call it out so maybe others will be willing, too, when it happens to them.

 I’ve been firm from the beginning that I was telling the truth; I think we can all now agree that’s been borne out. Matt expressed a desire to make it right with me; at this time I don’t really know what that looks like for me, and I’ll have to take some time to sit with it, but I do at least accept his apology. None of this changes my stance on AI. Matt and I obviously differ on this, and as a CEO the consequences of its use fall on him, and unfortunately also on his employees.

Apologies are simply in too short a supply these days to spurn one when it’s offered. 

God willing, this is the last statement I’ll need to make about this.

In the 2010s, we were told new tech would revolutionize transportation. As BMW faces backlash for sticking a Spider-Man ad on its center console, we can see what it really amounted to: cars that collect vast quantities of data on us and which automakers are desperate to use to push ads on us too.

BMW’s in-car Spider-Man ad is a warning sign
We were promised a transport revolution. Instead we got cars tracking us and serving us ads.

Reminder that Carney has cut funding for Natural Resources Canada, Environment and Climate Change Canada, Indigenous and Northern Affairs, and Indigenous Services. And he has rolled back climate protections, abandoned emissions targets, and is building more pipelines.
Carney:

"The wildfire situation has escalated significantly over the last three weeks across the country, and particularly in Northwestern Ontario. 

Thousands of people have been forced to evacuate their communities, not knowing if their homes will survive.  
 
On behalf of Canadians, I want to thank the brave firefighters, first responders, Indigenous and local leaders who are working tirelessly to keep people safe.
 
Our government is in close contact with provincial, municipal, and Indigenous partners and stands ready to provide any additional support as needed."

Loving the smell of all this global stability and national unity this morning!!!!!
Screenshot of a Toronto Star post that says “Canada will not hit carbon emission reduction targets set under the Trudeau government, Prime Minister Mark Carney said in a video posted to YouTube. 

He argued that downgrading the country’s climate-change ambitions is necessary for global stability and national unity.” With a picture of today’s very bad air quality map replacing the picture of Carney that originally accompanied it.

The games industry says it wants innovation. Investors say they want the next big hit. Yet the safest pitch keeps getting funded. The biggest opportunity isn’t another copy of yesterday’s success, but backing the game no one else is brave enough to make — or fund.

Trump doesn’t force people to do bad things. All he did was show people they could get away with being horrible if they really wanted to, and a lot of powerful people decided they didn’t need to pretend anymore. Especially those in influential positions who could push back but did not.

Very few (close to zero) career gamedevs realistically get to choose what games they end up working on. Working on a cool and/or successful game is not an inherent reflection of the skills of the individual in question.

Two panel comic. Panel 1: there’s a rap battle going on, with a small crowd of onlookers enjoying the show. The guy on the microphone raps, “this fool brought an ancient staff. You got no swag; it makes me laugh!” Panel 2: the rapper holding the other microphone is an evil sorcerer with sunken eyes and a long purple robe. In his other hand, he grasps an ancient magic staff, which instantly shoots a bolt of powerful energy at the first rapper, reducing him to ash. The crowd of people watching the battle react excitedly, in awe of the evil sorcerer’s skills.
