apparently this was sold as a live Willy Wonka Experience but they used all AI images on the website to sell tickets and then people showed up and saw this and it got so bad people called the cops lmao

Therapist: May I suggest you take a break?
Me: Great! OK! So. I want to be optimally relaxed. I want to maximize how refreshed I feel in the shortest amount of time possible. What's the best tactic for this? How do I reach peak rest? Can I min/max my leisure?
Therapist: Oh no.

Being mean to game devs:
- boring
- it's been done before
- accomplishes nothing
Being nice to game devs:
- chaotic
- we're not prepared for this, we WILL panic
- guaranteed to hurt us (imposter syndrome)
- ?????? huh?????????????????????????

I dream of a day where videogame developers (from any studio) can openly discuss their work without being harassed.
Many in the comments say they do not condone harassment. I hope they also stand against it when they find that friends or family are engaging in it.

Common question I get:
"Hi I'm a solo dev/small team and we don't have a budget to hire anyone, I have no time to do marketing, and/or I hate marketing. How can I build a community?"
My answer: 👁️👄👁️ You can't.
Or at least, not really? Let's talk about it.

Like... Are u sick of a meme? USE IT. Use it on your brand accounts in a cringe way. Signal the death of the meme. You create and destroy culture. You ARE the moment.

Re: ceasefire. It can feel helpless, it's easy to give up, but as someone who works w/ public sentiment -- persistence is key.
Sign petitions. Share on social. Protest. Call government. One or all is good, but keeping it up is even better. What you do matters.
