trans ppl basically lost the battle (not the war though) the minute everyone started thinking "sex is totally separate from gender and sex is more Real and Unchangeable" like full stop

What I’ve seen often over the years is that cis allies will enthusiastically embrace a lot of 101 trans basics—“everyone has a right to live how they want,” respecting names and pronouns, etc—but visibly balk once we start having to challenge norms about trans women.

For my newest video I took people's assumptions about game development and... addressed them! Including why crunch actually happens, how much money game developers make, and the unique way that making games 'ruins them' for you: youtu.be/WnfKzdTUjtw?...

Oh hey look! It's the ORIGINAL breadbox.

The prototype used to develop the Apple 1. The wooden case is adapted from a breadbox (the holes for mounting on a wall and some of the hardware for the sliding cover is still visible), the wiring is hand-soldered, giant Sprague capacitators like yellow soda cans are along the back, and the chips are hand-placed in a grid.

One of the best things indie devs can do to improve their craft is to cultivate a broad variety of interests. If you can be conversant in graphics, writing, animation, music, sound design, etc then you'll be way better-equipped to make cohesive games, and you'll be MUCH better at collaborative work.

it's mostly a matter of perspective, but it's too easy to think "I can't wait for THING to go away, and we can go back to..." nope. there's no going back. we march on ever forward. THING may end, or diminish, or just change into a new form, but things will never be how they were before
