Just havin’ a blather with some fellow neckbeards

What’s up, my fellow geeks?

Was torn between brainstorming some article ideas to write up for this site, lots of crazy shit going on in this world. But that comes with having to worry about writing really well, and having some level of candor and I kinda just wanted to post some off the cuff blathers about random shit going on. This post might get responses like, “Write it in your diary GAMERWORD!” who who knows what. Maybe no one reads it at all, OH WELL!

It’s REALY DAMNED exciting times in this space right now. You can really feel the winds of change are blowing, all these shitty companies that treated hard working talented people like shit for so long are FINALLY waking up to the fact they may be paying the damned piper soon.

I was one of those poor son’s of bitches who got rolled over by this bullshit. And lemme tell you guys, this gaming industry was overrun with SHITTY, PETULANT, TRIBALISTIC f*ckheads for LONG before this woke crap took hold. This just gave these smark f*cks the moral mandate to feel good about how terribly they were treating everyone around them who actually had standards for hard work and making a good product as this industry was taken over by grown ass children.

I don’t even know where to begin with this post, there’s so much shit to talk about. I just got banned on the Unity forums a couple weeks ago so that’s one blather outlet I had removed from me for posting a critical drinker video about the sweet baby inc situation and saying that their headquarters located in San Fran is covered in shit and drug needles (This isn’t political it’s just abject FACT).

Was told “No Political speech allowed here.” Who knows how long the ban is, maybe forever. And as a game developer, let me tell you it is TERRIFYING knowing that these people who HATE YOU are handling your future. How far your game can reach, who will see it, and deep connections with Apple, Google, Microsoft to cherry pick who and who can’t feed their kids.

It’s SUCH a fucked up policy to say “no politics”, because these guys have weaponized politics for a decade now and this gives them carte blanche to other, shame, and cancel WHOEVER THE FUCK THEY WANT so long as they keep it chill in their forums free from scrutiny. They have employees openly talking about how they won’t hire people if they’re not in line with the pronoun police with things like pronouns on twitter. And what’s frustrating is you can respect people and their pronouns, but see through the lines and see that for post people this is just an excuse to act like fucking tyrannical assholes.

You see this stuff going down EVERYWHERE. Unity is just a drop in a massive sea of companies that just 3 years ago were KICKING ASS. They’re poisoned now, they’re worthless, they  are rotten to the core. You can’t just end the current products in production, you need to uproot the very culture that give these developers big heads and draws their focus away from creating a quality game engine, or a quality game, or movie, or TV show, or comic book.

It’s sad (dare I say kinda pathetic) what these SUPPOSED nerds have let this space turn into. This industry is just the caddy table at the middle school now. Children with a chip on their shoulders wanting to be better than everyone else spreading lies and forming their cliques and getting off on slandering others. These are our “Moral Betters” manhandling our society now.

I also just got an email saying the winners of the Unity Humanity fun winners have been chosen, and you just KNOW exactly who they’re going to pick. It’ll be a slew of all the people checking all the right checkboxes all working on garbage projects that they created to circle jerk the virtue hordes. It’s all bullshit, it might even be money laundering, the entirety of these financial networks they have set up from the venture funds to charitable foundations REAK of corruption. At the very least, it’s a circle jerk of moral superiority devoid of all true competition.

So I’m torn between making an article on these game companies TOTALLY imploding, sh*tting talent every single damned day as their ability to compete goes down the tubes and this industry becomes a barren wastelands of incompetent, morally pure shit shows. And writing an article about these flamboyant and hollow activist awards where they throw some money at intersectionals who jack off their egos.

ON TOP OF THIS, I’m thinking about doing investigative journalism on Twitter. It’s VERY easy to find people who left companies, and I’m thinking about making a catch all article where we could maybe rally potential whistleblowers to spill the beans on why big games tanked, why certain features of certain games suck. The social disfunction and reasons why companies shat on their quality workers and management fucked everything up. It’s not ALWAYS wokeness, big headed idiots fucking everything up is a tale as old as time. Heck, even talented well meaning people trying to make games can mess things up, it’s a very hard industry to compete in and keep the dream alive.

I was thinking if we created a large list of people we shot messages to on twitter, let all these potential whistleblowers that we will only accept anonymous tips, and they see a sea of other people contacted, that takes a lot of the pressure off. And we could start getting some really hard hitting leaks revolving what occurred in these studios.

I think we could also lean into writing up fake stories. This providence safety to real leakers, because people will have to question if it’s real or not. This is a really exciting time in journalism and yellow journalism has always been a thing. I wouldn’t personally ever write a fake article to destroy a company with lies (like they did to Gina) but I WOULD consider posting a goofy article based on fake tips to lighten the mood and maybe show to leakers that this is a fun and safe space and we’re trying to make the world BETTER by bringing back standards and talented developers who were shuttered in this stupid madness, not seeking to destroy this industry.

So thoughts on even making this post. I really don’t know what the lay of the land is here, just saw Jeremy talking about how he like people being fired up and starting shit, and I already wanted to make this post so I figured, “FUCK IT, LET’S BLATHER SOME SHIT”. So here it is. I don’t know what the plan is here moving forward, I don’t know if this site will ever attract a ton of people or if taking the time to write articles well will ever eclipse the bite sized chunks of rage bait the billion monkeys on the keyboards out there spew ever single day. But in the meantime these days are exciting as hell!

They say to be the change you want to see. That’s how all these shit slingers were able to take over the world, they just went out there and threw shit over everything until everyone surrendered. So maybe it’s time we do the same. Take our world back by being loud and a little rowdy and stand up for cool shit and open discourse.

PERILOUS FREEDOM MOTHER FUCKERS. Freedom of speech and all that. That’s what made this world great. Being able to tell someone, hey your shit sucks, you can do better, and putting a fire under one anothers’ asses.

I’d like to think that if we come out here and we put our heart on a plate, there’s value in that. I understand this is a business and in order to survive NDA’s will be signed at some point, but I also believe that any of us wanting to engage in this community will have far more freedom to speak our minds and be ourselves publicly than most these slave drivers who keep their talent in a basement in the back. Hell, I just shat HARD on Rippaverse a few weeks back and they’re still letting me write articles, that’s fucking ballsy.

Coulda shatposted this on twitter, well technically not because who can afford Twitter premium when bacon is 10 fucking dollars? Point is Twitter sucks, there’s no engagement, it’s just everyone falling over themselves to like the few huge personalities in a given sphere, no real talk about shit, which was why I posted in these parts from time to time to begin with.

Anyway, not sure where I’m goin’ with all this. Just wanted to put some random thoughts out there. I’m excited as hell for the future, this opportunity to write here is “Absolutely AMAZIN’”, I appreciate them opening the door for me here to do some writing. But even outside my own personal excitement for the potential here to maybe write for an emerging site, I’m just damned excited to see these bloodthirsty wolves that have hunted us for so long in the work place, and in social media and every other sphere finally be exposed for who they are. And after all this time of these horrible people patting themselves on the back, they’re finally having to get a whif of their own farts as their bubbles burst.

So anyway, feel free to respond if you guys have thoughts on any of this. I have NO IDEA wtf i’m doing here, just spitballing ideas and figured where better than to brainstorm this shit than with you guys? For too long we’ve been on the outside looking in. All our “betters” doing everything secretly planning everything for their own enrichment and kicking us into the dirt, seems like maybe we have a chance here to do  things a better way… before we find fantastical wealthy and become too good to associate with you plebs XD

Apologies for the blather! I usually unload in the blog space, but figured I’d give this post a shot one time and see how it goes. Very much in the experimental phase and figuring out what resonates with you guys in terms of articles, posts and all that.

Per usual if you guys have any thoughts on this writing process, or how I write articles or what subject matters you’d like covered I’M ALL EARS!
