Them: Hey, we're having a retro games showcase, you should submit your games!
Me: Oh, ok (slightly flattered)
[Applies]
Them: "We regret to inform you that due to the high volume of submissions..."
What was the point of inviting me if they were just going to reject my games?
It's a little thing, but a convention reached out to me asking if I'd be willing to submit some of my games to their retro indie showcase. I guess I'm getting noticed

It seems an old ROM of a project I was working on with friends leaked online, it's so funny seeing people speculate about this as some sort of obscure piece of media by a mysterious Chinese dev, while it's simply just something we made several years ago. LMAO

Didn't think my recent post on why Andor worked better than any new Star Wars show would be relevant so soon (patreon.com/posts/power-and-…).
'Superfans' just want the same stuff they've already 'consumed' - which they wouldn't have got without a risk to make it in the first place.
Studios are assembling superfan focus groups to assess various materials for a franchise project to avoid social media backlash.
“They will just tell us, ‘If you do that, fans are going to retaliate’ … If it’s early enough & the movie isn’t finished yet, we can make those kinds of changes.”

I think I'm regretting being on this conference panel. Maybe the lead will kick me out since I don't jive with their dumb rules.

Homebrew devs: if you have a game that you want me to add to my Powerpak so that people can donate toward it being played at the Spectrum Marathon this weekend, send the ROM to the email address in my profile. <3

I’m so thankful to Black women. I shared the post that I am looking for at least 100 Black women to fill out my survey. I only had 31. In the past 24 hours, Black women have shown up and showed out! I’m now up to 70.
If you haven’t filled out this survey here is the link:

PC Gamer wrote an article about the game I'm developing:
"In this satirical city builder, your goal is to convert walkable cities into parking lots and use propaganda to convince everyone it's what they want"

Native Community: Mvto for the responses! A couple more questions if I may.
How should the issue of Pretendians be handled?
I'd like to hear from people who support the investigation of Pretendians please.
This is for possible publication. Please see original post.
Mvto!

THEY FIRED HALF THE STUDIO AFTER THIS.
‘Inside Out 2’ becomes the FIRST film of 2024 to reach $1 BILLION at the worldwide box office.
It’s also the fastest animated film to reach this milestone.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
In May 2024, Pixar Animation Studios fired 175 employees, approximately 14% of its workforce.
