SLASH'S PROFILE

My name's Gato
I'm a rapping robot
In Spanish I'm a cat
but in Japan I am not

hi!

I can only imagine the kind of pressure & responsibility that comes with a family - especially children. Even just having a full-time career has taken up so much time, and it's hard to muster the energy to make games when I get home; coming home from a programming job to program more is tiring!

I've gotten to noodle around with GameMaker the past couple days though, and I'm still doing ridiculous stuff like cosplay and running D&D when I can. I've been slowly working hard to get to the point where I can take some time off to work on games, and see what I can get done. I'm pretty lucky to have a job and few enough expenses that I can get away with that, though, and it def involves a few sacrifices - not to mention being a bit scary & risky.

At the very least, game dev doesn't require you to be young & fit, so we can make games until we're dead!~

ken - toe - naaaaaah

That is almost certainly true but is also too metaphysical and vague to respond to properly.


In this specific situation, I think these companies are right to restrict Alex Jones' because otherwise they are responsible for helping promote him. I do think that a few powerful companies like this wield way too much power and control over what we see and hear, but I don't think we can pretend that doing nothing and taking no responsibility in these situations while also profiting off it is somehow the higher ground.

With regards to hate speech - hate speech abuses the notion of "free speech" to actively impede the freedoms of others, by encouraging people to mistreat the marginalized and remove their freedoms.
