Most of my blog posts are paywalled these days, BUT today I ended up writing something I did not want to paywall. I wrote about censorship, growing up reading fantasy literature, easily accessible fantasy and creating art that does not obey boxes. ko-fi.com/post/The-val...

The value of creating things that don't fit neat little boxes

When a game studio ships a solid game, it creates TWO valuable products: 1. A solid game. 2. The team that spent years learning how to work together make a game. Because Western studios keep disbanding #2 while development cycles get longer; we will inevitably see less of #1.

If you make games and don't follow Rami yet - fix that! I promise you won't regret it. A lot of insight and expertise seen through a very humane lens.

“this person is bad so their work was always bad” is also a really dangerous view to take because it leads to - unconscious or not - a bias towards “but I do like this other person’s work, ergo they must be a good person” which, as we have seen over and over, is simply not true

"So what have you been up to since your arm went kaput?" You know, just the usual. I'm, uh, making a language. For my book series. I really want to make a video about this process to document it, but I have no idea how to get started 😭 Can someone who is good with Video drop their tips here?

Just to be clear on this article, the position I took isn't "developers need to be more brave" but "funding needs to be more brave". Developers make all the cool stuff, just because they want to - the funding side hits it with market research and fear and growth targets and shareholders.

If Sanna Marin had done this, headlines would be screaming for her to be publicly, if metaphorically, executed, perhaps in some medieval way like quartering. I can't believe I wake up every morning to this shit where a man stealing 35 mill € isn't a big deal and is allowed to be the PM.

I will have to join ArtFight late; I managed to injure a nerve on my shoulder, and cannot do anything with my right arm. Pain is crushing. But, nothing permanent. Just a long recovery. I'm on week 2 now, 2 more weeks estimated for me to be functional, 4 weeks for pain-free, 6 for full recovery.

Listen I don't want to see NSFW content on my feed and also I want people to be able to post, discuss, celebrate, and support NSFW content without their whole account being shadowbanned by puritanical tech bros trying to kick us back a century or two. These two positions are entirely compatible.

A reminder that access to throwing harassment at developers is not included in the purchase of a video game. Many of us obsess over critique, but we know the difference between critique even if its worded emotionally, a streamer using us as a punching bag for clickbait, and someone harassing us.

Think of how many games where the verb is violence. How many games (including the ones nominated for tonight’s BAFTA awards) where you shoot, fight, kill. But when games want to explore the topic of violence in a meaningful way, that’s the issue?

I think one of the reasons we don't see many 'mom' games (at least games ABOUT motherhood or about a mother) is that tasks and responsibilities that are considered 'dad' tasks are usually a lot more 'fun' or 'noble' than what we consider 'mom' tasks.
