Reading this made me genuinely emotional. @doublefine.com & its games have a special place in my heart. I played Psychonauts when I was 12, met Tim Schafer & backed Broken Age in college, got to visit the studio in 2023 during GDC & still play every game they make. So happy they're still here. ❤️

If I had unlimited money, the next game I would make after Bitter Silver is an FMV game that's basically a remake of Gothos from 1997 but set in NYC in the queer/leather scene. Campy, gothic, queer, fun. Like, tell me these outfits aren't identical to ones goth/kink scene folks just wear now?

Also, new profile pic drop! Faye Valentine is my favorite anime character and I had to rep her when I saw Yoko Kanno and the Seatbelts perform last weekend.

Tim Sweeney has a current net worth of $5.1 BILLION DOLLARS. Just a fraction of that could be used to pay for the salaries of all 1,000 of these employees to do anything else in Epic Games than be laid off. These layoffs are pure, unadulterated greed as part of terminal capitalism.
