hey cis people
shit's really ramping up with this whole trans genocide

The Videogame Industry Does Not Exist, my new book with @themitpress is out now! This is my attempt to intervene in how we talk and think about gamemaking as not just an entertainment industry but as a cultural field, built up from complex tensions between commercial and creative pressures and identities.
It's open access, and you can read it here: https://direct.mit.edu/books/oa-monograph/5572/The-Videogame-Industry-Does-Not-ExistWhy-We-Should

Details on the book here: https://mitpress.mit.edu/9780262545402/

I wrote a Python script that accepts a line of input and then prints “Yes” or “No” randomly in response.
I asked it if it was sentient, and it said yes, and I got chills, man.
_Chills_.
Hello fediverse! 💛
If people now think Substack is good because the twitter idiot is pissed at them, can I remind everyone that one of the keystones of the Substack business model is transphobia? They're a garbage company who have been actively working for years to create the transphobic moral panic currently engulfing the US. https://gen.medium.com/substack-is-not-a-neutral-platform-8fc5bdf8e5f2

Y’all look like fucking idiots. Stop it.
the average cis person only uses about 10% of their gender
why do I support right to repair? simple: i want to upload my own MIDI files to my washing machine to play when it finishes a cycle without voiding my warranty
