wow! I've never had a post explode like this before. look at all of you! it's been so amazing seeing you all.
let me make it super clear: I LOVE the fanfics and I SHOULD HAVE MENTIONED THE ART TOO. there's so much incredible work being done!
thank you all SO MUCH.
@S3cret_Az
ei! Fiquei com um pouco de medo também - parecia que todo o Brasil estava visitando meu perfil! Mas fico muito feliz em ver todos vocês, sua arte, e principalmente as trans HCs. muito obrigado!
(por favor, perdoe a tradução automática haha)
it's also super important to point out that I'm just one of many people that work on the game!
it's a team effort, and many talented people are responsible for bringing the stories and characters of Gossip Harbor to life~
I'm just the only one that hangs out on X/twitter 😅
@mundo_samark
I absolutely am. I'm so happy to see it! it's so cute. I think it fits perfectly as a headcanon~
still waiting for someone to put together the clues and realise there's a 100% canon trans masc character, though 👀
god, I am just blown away by the player-driven story of Helldivers 2. the way the community is collectively paused in suspense right now is utterly unique and beautiful.
this is such a fascinating crossover between community management and narrative design. I'm obsessed.
Today, Super Earth citizens celebrated the full eradication of the Automatons.
Additionally to reward their bravery, each Helldiver has been issued an extra 1 minute break. [Note: 1 minute is inclusive of the time taken to read this. Helldivers currently deployed are ineligible]
@StarWarsExplain
there are a lot of insensitive arseholes in the replies here, telling you that you don't need to apologise. and yeah, you don't *need* to - but you did, and that's why you're one of the best channels around. this is a much appreciated message to your trans audience 💖
@lenaskzorel
mara jade was luke's troubled baddie wife in the original thrawn stories, and people have been comparing Sabine's role in this story to luke's, so naturally she should get a troubled baddie wife (shin)

I was looking through a (shockingly dense) potential map for this and came across an honest-to-god working bathroom mirror in this charmingly dismal stand-up / jazz club

It's been a while since I got into a twitter fight, but here goes.
Why is it so important that the word/category 'woman' is exclusive to cisgender women? You can just say 'cisgender woman'. I understand wanting specific words, but 'woman' is a very generic one.
@Nan_Yelo
you know, I did notice. there were a few small hints haha. I look forward to reading your fic! I'm so honoured that you feel inspired by our work <3
@Unsecured_CCTV
If you, like me, were confused as to why a camera in Norwich (a non-coastal city) has a view of the sea, it's because it's apparently actually located in Cornwall!
I guess the IP is routed though Norwich. Cool that we can find this place~
@__yayyas
it's the ship name for Sam and Mark, two of the characters in the game I work on, Gossip Harbor! before today the team knew lots of people liked them, but I had NO idea there were this many lmao
@doomquasar
hey hey! I'm the narrative designer working on this! thank you so much (both you and
@whitneyarner
). our story gets weird and wacky at times but we try hard to make sure it rules. so glad to hear you're both enjoying it :)
thanks to Shila's post &

, I'm loving how many devs I've connected with during GDC, despite not being there!
so time I did my intro! I'm Ali, a narrative designer 2 years into my career and loving it. I do homely stories, narrative pipelines and queer shit~
Not going to

and I never have bc I could never afford it. So instead, let’s do a round of online networking?

three years ago, around this time - quarter to midnight - I came out as bi to my parents. it didn't go well.
I promised myself I'd do it during pride month, but didn't find the courage until right at the end - and I had no idea how much more courage I still needed.

it's a post on twitter, not a gun to a head. they could very easily not have commented on this, but chose to. if you wanna convince yourself they were forced to comment then...go for it. but their accepting of responsibility is something valuable to me.
@coolgoblinzone
I've never understood the hate for Xen. sure, it's weird and tough and sometimes non-intuitive, but those qualities work really well in communicating that it's a completely alien place. it SHOULD be unwelcoming and off-putting.

I'd just like you to know that for the entirety of

I was saying to my friends "I SWEAR that guy is Alasdair Beckett-King, he looks so much like him", and I didn't realise until the very last talk that it was actually you.
@Jbandos
consider this: the trailer for the remake uses singular they in the line "we face the greatest Sith (singular) in generations...they must be stopped".
like yes Bastilla in talking about the Sith in general at first...but also her she/they wife Revan...
finally finished off my piece for

, a few hours before the deadline. I do not feel good about my process, but I'm pretty happy about the results. rare for me to A) write smut and B) complete a well scoped project. can't wait to see the completed zine~~
@ScoutTheTrooper
They're there to establish the power and influence of the Pykes. As far as most audience members are concerned, Jabba the Hutt was the top dog. The Twins represent his legacy, and though they try to play tough with Boba, they're ultimately scared off by the Pykes.
@Komegatze
it's up to Valve how they approach their writing. SBI isn't forcing them to do shit – the point of a narrative consultant is to give SOLICITED advice from a perspective the team lacks.
really disappointed to see that you've fallen for this bullshit.
but in the past year or so I finally found the queer community that I needed. and it's helped so goddamn much.
I love my queer friends. I'm so grateful to know them and be known by them.
with them, I feel a million miles away from the pain and loneliness I felt three years ago.
@ZenOfDesign
a GE is required every 5 years, but can be called earlier to reinforce a government's 'mandate', which the tories have done 3 times since 2010. Sunak's mandate is based on the 2019 GE, and his party no longer has the political capital to maintain power, so he's calling it early.
okay, sure! hi! I'm Ali (they/them), a 25yo narrative designer from the UK about a year into my career. I work for a Beijing-based company called Microfun! Just waiting on my visa to move out there🤞
I love ARGs, archival adventures and star wars.

It's true that the StG 44 was a German rifle, but this screenshot reads 'TG • 44 SST'.
Is the idea that the use of the same letters in a completely different order constitutes a dog whistle? This is very shaky evidence.
@Airdorf
hey! happy birthday! hope this isn't too weird, given we don't know each other, but your post found its way onto my feed and I immediately wanted to try a thing with the gif you attached - I happened to have just set up an old CRT TV and I just...yeah.

@jessiegender
I watch Vaush but don't defend him - including on the recent JK debacle. But this is...absolute nonsense. He made a bad analogy in a debate once...how the hell have we got to "literal kid diddler"? christ.

I don't think anyone's threatened Alex. I think he and Mollie decided to make a point of signalling their allyship because they care about their audience. No cancellation required.
if I were offered a choice between a 'make more femme' potion and a 'make more masc' potion I would either be incapable of making a decision or chug them both at the same time
