- I can think of four producers I’ve worked with in my career that I would go into oncoming traffic for if it meant getting them onto my projects. I trust them so completely. A good producer is worth their weight in gold. However…
- i call friends out of the blue but if they are under the age of fifty now i send a text saying “hey calling you in a minute. not an emergency”. after a few times doing this they eventually realize “oh this is just what lis does” and eventually they start to call you unprompted and it’s wonderful

- Reposted by LisWake up. Make breakfast. Do email. Watch a murder. Go to a party for a 5 year old. Laugh with my daughter. See a different angle of that murder. Hear govt officials slander the victim. Play Barbies with my kid. Feed her dinner. Tear up at that victim reading last honors to a vet. Put kid to bed. USA

- +1 to Hannah and I’ll say that last November I explained to a friend in Japan that I would no longer be speaking at US-based conferences until it’s safe for people to visit my country again.
- Abolish ICE. Stop their funding. Call your reps until their ears bleed. Protest. Call for a general strike. Vote at the ballot box. Record everything, take them to court, and off to prison. And most of all, remember the dead. Thirty plus people perished in ICE’s hands over the last year.

- Generally speaking if you hated group projects in school perhaps game dev is not for you.
- Congratulations to all these teams! All these stories were such a joy to play.
- Several people have died in ICE custody and because of ICE detention. Renee Goode’s murder is a crime everyone could plainly see but make no mistake, there are many families who will never see their father, mother, sibling, or parent again because of ICE.

- I was working for WB Avalanche on January 6th five years ago. I was home because of the pandemic, doing tasks while I played the certification of the vote live as background noise. And suddenly it wasn’t background noise anymore. Slack slowly went dead and I could only watch it happen in real time.
- The music is haunting, some of the shots are so exquisite they remind you of Rembrandt or Caravaggio, but it’s Seyfried’s performance as Ann Lee that I’ll be thinking about for a long long time. See it in the 70mm if possible because gee whiz.
- “I have no real patience for art that doesn’t believe in itself.” Fantastic writing the whole way down.

- Rain of Gold by Victor Villaseñor, a non-fiction multi-generational saga with threads of magical realism woven throughout. It covers the early 20th century, Mexico, California, war, immigration, lineage, and destiny. It was published in 1991 yet remains a vital story, esp in our current moment.
- This experience has reinforced to me that at times hostility aimed at the humanities comes from people needing to believe investing in them is a waste of time, energy, and effort. They need to affirm that their sacrifices for today’s notions of practicality are right.
- Hey, if you’re in the game industry and have a literature degree, would you please comment? We got a family friend over here who insists my having a career in games while holding a literature degree is a one-off aberration and per usual, I’m not letting it go.

- I’ve only played a couple of Santa Ragione’s games but these former IGF narrative winners are doing work I deeply appreciate. I’ll be playing HORSES, and I hope you will too.

- I only know @burgerbecky.bsky.social by reputation but what an incredible reputation it is. Her contributions to the industry and RPGs more generally cannot be overstated. Please consider supporting her and her family.

- Reposted by LisI think we need to stop calling it empathy and go back to calling it decency. It isn't a favour you're doing someone else, it's you proving that you aren't a fucking ghoul
