Thanks to DifferentGames, I'll be at GDC this March representing QGCon and Soft Chaos Cooperative. I can only eat out-of-doors or in spaces with lots of HEPA, and am going to try to avoid very crowded spaces and hang out in the park a lot, but HMU if you want to make plans to meet up!

Dear friends, @neilhimself.neilgaiman.com has tasked me with explaining Charles Dickens' 22 sequels to A Christmas Carol. As possibly the only person to have adapted every one in 200 years (as radio plays for Korean radio) and having gone insane in the process, I am uniquely qualified. 🧵

Indigenous people are probably one of the least visible groups in games. Indigenous Game Devs (IGD) wants to change that! Check out all the work already being done in this database on Indigenous-made games and lots of papers, articles, videos and podcasts about Indigenous-made games!

block him. Don't let these people gain traction. If we all block people like this as soon as they pop up they will never get traction They feed off of "dunking", it puts more eyes on their hate. Starve them of oxygen so they fizzle out all alone. These ppl live on hate engagement so don't engage.
