After the layoff last year, I’ve taken some time to recover from burnout and think deeply about what’s next for me. Getting ready to step back into the world of job applications. I know it’s a mess out there, but any leads are appreciated. Need a narrative pro? I’m here!

women’s day but let’s not forget about these women in palestine who don’t have feminine hygiene products for themselves, are giving birth without any medical supplies, starving and being killed.

Recent headlines: “Agents aren’t making money.” “Authors aren’t making money.” “Trade publishing staffers aren’t making money.” Who, exactly, is making money? This seems worthy of further examination. Have a great Tuesday, y’all!

October is domestic violence awareness month. DV is rampant in the Latin community yet never discussed with nuance & respect in games. So I wrote Good Bones. The game comes out Oct. 20th. I hope it makes you feel seen, if you’ve been waiting to be seen. store.steampowered.com/app/1…

Our thoughts on the Unity Runtime Fee
Yesterday Unity announced without warning to its user base that they will start charging Unity developers a fee per copy installed of their games. We have used Unity to develop all of our major titles, such as Totally Accurate Battle Simulator which has been installed tens of millions of times throughout the years. To say that this announcement is concerning is an understatement and we are questioning our continued use of the engine. They are making this change without any form of opt-in or consent from developers and retroactively applying this new rule to games developed and released years ago. This goes against their previous statements and is a huge breach of trust. When we started working on TABS and Stick Fight we made the decision to use Unity partly because of their flat payment model, something that they are now going back on. It's like if we increased the price of our games and sent everyone who has played them an invoice for the difference.

As a queer and trans person of color who makes good fuckin art, I wish I was given the same leniency, grace, and multiple chances to make Kinda Bad Art that mediocre white dudes are given over and over and over without worrying that it might literally tank my career

There's been much gaslighting & moderate justifying of the new Florida social studies standards, people stating the "clarifications" were designed to show Black resilience, or were just "facts." So, I thought I'd compare the African-American history standards to the Holocaust's.

It also makes for an incredibly shitty, cliche, basic assed tattoo after a bad break-up that you'll regret forever. Speaking from experience, lololol fml
