I guess I still need Google for some things

@Ronflaix Thank you! I still feel a bit like a kid playing pretend at game dev when I hear other people talk about serious programming stuff, but it does feel like that thing Ira Glass says about closing the gap.

After analyzing character and location counts across RPGs, it seems we're making about half a Suikoden.

I'm glad the conversation around game engines as an indie dev have shifted from "use whatever you're drawn to" to "don't use Unreal".

I feel like I need to play more games from Finland and listen to more music from Brazil.

So, SNAP is officially cut off for this month so I've launched a GoFundMe. Even if you can't donate, if you can boost, it would mean the world to me. https://gofund.me/c5cfea96f

I combined elements of my Jazz and Trans playlists to make an Art playlist. 8 hours of Artistic music for making Art to.

I can't believe I'm going to be a part of Games Done Queer. Just as a commentator but I'm very excited.

This piece is there right at the entrance to the museum and it was the most powerful to me.

Detention at the Border of Language by Enrique Chagoya. A painting of indigenous people, one with a large painted face, holding Donald Duck captive in a boat. It is a play on an offensive piece about indigenous people kidnapping a white girl to highlight the role of colonization in America and the consideration of indigenous people as immigrants to Europeans.

Boosts appreciated:

Looking for dictation software I can use with Linux Mint (Firefox for the browser) that does not use AI or at least doesn't randomly have the AI respond to the things it's supposed to transcribe instead of transcribing them.

This is an accessibility issue that I'm hoping can be solved because I want to write and really just can't currently.

@0 Yes, standalone is fine. I specifically mentioned Firefox because Google Docs does voice transcription, but not in Firefox.

Kitsune Zero screenshot I think of a pink and purple background, with a green portrait box with Yumi, an orange-brown-haired foxgirl with text in a text box under it that says "gay gay gay gay i'm so gay i love women gay"

Someone on our team just said: tabs are temporary, bookmarks are forever. What’s your take on this?

@mayazimmerman@gamedev.lgbt avatar

@Vivaldi Third option that says bookmarks are also temporary.

Hi, I'm Maya Zimmerman, a very small-time game dev and trans woman. My brain has some disorders and interesting stuff about it, some diagnosed.

For game dev work, is my engine of choice and I will gush about it whenever I can.
