"Sorry we got caught, it won't happen again"

Half-Life 2 is 21 today! The Citadel in City 17, art by the late Viktor Antonov (1972-2025):

Apple TV shows are the best across the streaming services and frankly it’s not close. Highly endorse the sentiment below especially for sci fi. Their movies… are a lot more spotty.

Qué bueno esto de @manuelrico.bsky.social Yo también creo que fue ella, hay algo en mi interior que me oprime fuertemente y me incita a creerlo, cierro los ojos y vislumbro un despacho allí, en la tercera planta, donde hay un alma atormentada, el alma de Almudena Lastra...

Lots of folks captioning aurora photos like "for a few minutes we didn't think about politics" guess I'm built different, every time I'm out trying to see night sky stuff I frequently think about how much light pollution is entirely preventable with just a tiny bit of regulation

Open AI loses copyright case in Germany. Judge Elke Schwager summarized the case saying that if you want to build something and need components, "then you purchase them and do not use the property of others."

The vast majority of bad moderation decisions are made by Frontline grunts, and are usually because the posts are in nebulous gray areas or because those front line grunts don’t clearly understand the rules and standards that a project has. Which is understandable, these are often big teams.

Elon Musk is an aberration. Most execs have no interest in community moderation and know they shouldn’t get involved. bsky.app/profile/syno...

UO shipped with a very laissez-faire attitude towards griefers, and when they decided this was a bad idea and changed policies (as well as creating a ‘safe world’) they doubled their customer population.

You wanna know why we're having nag line discourse in 2025? Because developers know we're fighting an attention economy war we'll lose no matter what. Players don't read, have TikTok open next to them, god forbid we are scared you miss something and then blame us for not giving you all the info.

By the admission of the email this came in, they surveyed under 600 people: "We surveyed 562 game professionals, based in the United States, across the many roles that makes games successful" so, zero statistical significance

Then why do I keep talking to devs in the US whose salary is suddenly $0

Todo lo que pasa en Occidente y que ha traído la debacle moral, intelectual y política a las derechas sin excepción responde a que los Hombres Blancos Heterosexuales están hartos de que tías, maricas y negros tengan derechos. De USA a Totana. Qué geopolítica ni qué niño muerto.

Shayna is absolutely right! Here’s a few of these fuckers: Acti-Blizz CEO Brian Bulatao, ex CIA head: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brian_B... France’s Townsend, who defended the US’s right to torture in Abu Ghraib: kotaku.com/activision-b... There’s also the Pentagon COD connection if you care to look.

Not to mention the military to gamedev pipeline- which is obviously totally fine when it’s a veteran looking for a new career, but not when a fucking war criminal is on blizzard’s executive board

Entras a mirar noticias en USA y te encuentras esto:

I would not have a career without Battlefield and I nonetheless co-sign this wholeheartedly. The things I felt it do to my brain were bad and I’m glad I stepped far, far away. Let’s find other ways, other settings, other verbs to scratch the same itch, thanks

Had a boss once who defined a ‘griefer’ as a customer whose toxic behavior costs you more money than he gives you. Once you use this lens the business case is clear. bsky.app/profile/jaso...

Having shipped numerous MMOs over the course of the years, let me tell you that having and using the ‘fascistic’ power of moderation is crucial unless you want to have a 4chan style den of nazis and child porn instead of a viable business.

BUT we’ve pivoted too far in the opposite direction. It makes my stomach churn to see queer (usually white, but not always) trans people latch onto “Ghost” or whatever and humanize him in extensive fanfics. It’s bizarre. There is no redeeming COD/mil-sims and we need to say so as artists.

Up until this AI shit I would’ve said hey sometimes you have to make money in a shit system and gotta take the job, but at this point, why aren’t we organizing against this? It sucks that Christian fundies have forever hampered the convo around these games by framing them as “creating IRL violence”,

Please read this in the gentlest possible voice but we HAVE to divest from mil-sims as gamedevs. Even before this AI bullshit in the latest Black Ops, these games have done so much harm and contributed massively to the dehumanization of several populations worldwide. It’s US foreign pol propaganda.

Compra, alquiler y venta: por qué fondos como Blackstone preparan la salida de miles de casas adquiridas tras la burbuja

Video game giant Rockstar has sacked more than 30 workers across the UK, including my constituents working at their Edinburgh office. I urged Ministers to support workers who have lost their jobs, and stop this from happening again.

the idea that lots of gamedevs are secretly using ai is booster bullshit what on earth would I use genAI tools for? Coming up with ideas? Writing? It’s shit at those making 3D models? Coding stuff? It’s shit at that too oh but it’s faster maybe? Did I mention it’s shit at things? seems important

Es un plomazo ver que la gente con más talento que conozco siempre está al borde o por debajo del umbral de pobreza :[ Y que pasan los siglos y no terminamos de arreglar esto, oye. Que el dinero lo acumulan charlatanes, enteraos y papanatas, y a la gente que aporta bien al mundo le dan por saco.

No se puede ser demócrata y racista a la vez. Qué casualidad que vean un peligro en los trabajadores pero no en los fondos buitres que compran barrios enteros. No les molestan los migrantes, les molestan los pobres.

(I decided to start by checking out the _SECONDARY_ full length game mode, which involves time traveling to re-experience all the storylines of every previous game in the franchise. And I guess a wild frame story about the apocalypse. I'm not sure how soccer can fix this but I guess we'll find out)

this is the intro cutscene in a game where you make children play soccer

I'm always saying this

perfect

before I get started playing the game I've decided to try out the included, mystifying "build your own online city" mode. I haven't unlocked any buildings in the campaign yet so all i have is this gigantic head that the developers distributed for free. it will be the centerpiece of my town

I can't tell if this is a bug or not but my soccersona looks INCREDIBLY upset about existing

Esta mujer simplemente es mala, y su maldad se dirige descaradamente hacia la gente más necesitada. Hay que tener la maldad a flor de piel para tener los medios y no ayudar a esa gente. No me explico cómo los madrileños pueden estar a favor de tanta maldad.
