This upcoming QoL change might seem like the fun gimmick. But to me, it’s a huge accessibility breakthrough. Remembering the songs with adhd was rough as a kid but being able to hum some of the tunes you use the most game breaking! #legendofzelda www.tiktok.com/t/ZP83S4QUR/

This was BIG, but not just for a gimmick, this is absolutely a step foward in accessibility. Having ADHD, I sometimes forget simple things. Being able to hum a song to complete it in the game is BREA...

There are endless studies showing this and also the financial and societal benefits of universal basic income and or housing-first policies but the U.S. never goes for any of it because it would require allowing the poor to receive benefits that the rich consider “undeserved”

As I’m getting older games are getting harder to play. If you make game UI, please design using a TV screen from at least 6 feet away! If it doesn’t fit you’re probably showing too much info at once anyway.

If a team makes a game that gets great reviews and doesn't sell, that's a biz failing but the silver lining is you caught lighting in a bottle -- protect that team! It's worth its weight in gold. If you jettison the team but keep the biz people, I don't know what to tell you

Andy Serkis has always been a jerk even back when he started getting big, by trying to shortchange and downplay the hard work of VFX artists and animators to try to glorify himself. Saying that his mocap performances were just "digital make up" instead of celebrating that creative collaboration.

Lately I’ve been in an indie team making stop-motion animation. It’s just 4 of us (animator, writer, voice actor, sound designer). The show’s called The Tiny Angry Witch. It’s all basically hand made. No AI. It’s tiring, but we love what we do. So, anyway, here’s a Witch making rude noises:

Thinking about this quote from Persepolis creator Marjane Satrapi again.

Picture of Marjane Satrapi alongside a quote from her. The quote reads:

The world is not divided into countries. The world is not divided between East and West. You are American, I am Iranian, we don't know each other, but we talk together and we understand each other perfectly. The difference between you and your government is much bigger than the difference between you and me. And the difference between me and my government is much bigger than the difference between me and you.

And our governments are very much the same...

- Marjane Satrapi, Iranian-French graphic novelist

Abolish the legal gender marker entirely. No government can be trusted to have a database of which people have changed theirs, no government has any business tracking what your gender is "supposed" to be in the first place.
