I'm sorry for all the authors with book launches in August who might wind up not having their books in stores because of the UPS strike and I'm sorry for me, a bookstore owner, who is rapidly losing my mind this week trying to gameplan for the potential strike with a PACKED month of events but mostly I'm sorry for the UPS workers who deserve fucking AIR CONDITIONING in their goddamn dark brown trucks.

how did you start learning to make games?

honestly? that's a really good question. i've been making games as a hobby for a while now (ever since i was a kid, really) and i think the interest got started then. i started with game maker (back before it was ever game maker studio), but there are much better places to start such as gdevelop, scratch, godot, or any of the free game engines. some things i recommend that i did way back when (and still do now):

there are a lot of tutorials out there on the internet for whatever engine you decide to use (and they are great!), but don't be afraid to experiment with the tutorials a little bit to see what makes everything tick

try recreating games that you like! (I had a lot of 2D platformer clones since I was such a huge platformer fan)

you don't need any programming experience to get into making games. most engines have a visual scripting system or a super simple script language, and although coding is one of my special interests i got my start with game maker's drag and drop programming. i hear that unreal has a really good system (blueprints) and i think unity has its own built-in visual scripting system, along with dozens of game engines that are made for beginners

don't be afraid to share your games - between your friends, on itch, whatever

game dev is a really fun hobby, and it's something that i love dearly! i can't recommend the godot engine enough (it's decently simple and there are a lot of tutorials for it out there), but there's so much you can do. and if you do get into making games, please share them with me! i want to see what you make :)

Why aren't we talking about the real reason male college enrollment is dropping? (Celeste Davis, Oct 6 2024)

"White flight is a term that describes how white people move out of neighborhoods when more people of color move in.

White flight is especially common when minority populations become the majority. That neighborhood then declines in value.

Male flight describes a similar phenomenon when large numbers of females enter a profession, group, hobby or industry—the men leave. That industry is then devalued.

Take veterinary school for example:

In 1969 almost all veterinary students were male at 89%.

By 1987, male enrollment was equal to female at 50%.

By 2009, male enrollment in veterinary schools had plummeted to 22.4%

A sociologist studying gender in veterinary schools, Dr. Anne Lincoln says that in an attempt to describe this drastic drop in male enrollment, many keep pointing to financial reasons like the debt-to-income ratio or the high cost of schooling.

But Lincoln’s research found that “men and women are equally affected by tuition and salaries.”

Her research shows that the reason fewer men are enrolling in veterinary school boils down to one factor: the number of women in the classroom.

For every 1% increase in the proportion of women in the student body, 1.7 fewer men applied.

One more woman applying was a greater deterrent than $1000 in extra tuition! (…)

Since males had dominated these professions for centuries, you would think they would leave slowly, hesitantly or maybe linger at 40%, 35%, 30%, but that’s not what happens.

Once the tipping point reaches majority female- the men flee. And boy do they flee!

It’s a slippery slope. When the number of women hits 60% the men who are there make a swift exit and other men stop joining.

Morty Schapiro, economist and former president of Northwestern University has noticed this trend when studying college enrollment numbers across universities:

“There’s a cliff you fall off once you become 60/40 female/male. It then becomes exponentially more difficult to recruit men.”

Now we’ve reached that 60% point of no return for colleges.

As we’ve seen with teachers, nurses and interior design, once an institution is majority female, the public perception of its value plummets.

Scanning through Reddit and Quora threads, many men seem to be in agreement - college is stupid and unnecessary.

A waste of time and money. You’re much better off going into the trades, a tech boot camp or becoming an entrepreneur. No need for college. (…)

When mostly men went to college? Prestigious. Aspirational. Important.

Now that mostly women go to college? Unnecessary. De-valued. A bad choice. (…)

School is now feminine. College is feminine. And rule #1 if you want to safely navigate this world as a man? Avoid the feminine.

But we don’t seem to want to talk about that."

A new local creative cafe venture - jumping in

When discussing this idea with a friend recently, expecting everyone to talk me out of it, I realised that every time I had considered a new venture or starting down any path if anything ahead was not visible, I got serious cold feet. The other realisation I had was that everything I have done, which was worthwhile – including a course during 2020 that paid a stipend and turned out better than…
