just think it's interesting that none of the breathless "chatgpt is alive and will replace human labor" pieces mentions the actual human labor underpinning it all.

I love games and so many of the people who make them. It was an honor to accept the award on behalf of the team and a privilege to be able to speak to what I believe in. ♥️

Burn it down.

Monster design is one of the purest forms of human expression

People still out here making Expedition 33 jokes about the number in it's name thinking they're clever or saying something new. Come on, think of something new and actually play the damn game.

For some reason the media is not mentioning that the reason GTA6 is being delayed is they fired 40 staff over threats of unionization and now the rest of their staff are revolting

I feel sick, y'all

I reached out to The White House and asked about its use of AI-generated Halo imagery. White House Deputy Press Secretary Kush Desai just responded to me, and it's insane. I've removed the paywall. Please share and subscribe if you can. www.patreon.com/posts/exclus...

Hey. Don't get up in your head about what just happened. Breathe; blink; focus; & check in w/ yourself. You can manage this. Take it sixty seconds at a time.

Yeah the buy-out of popular mainstream American game studios continues. It may seem bleak but there is a super important thing people are over looking. When you layoff experienced artists and entrepreneurs they go make something new. We're about to see a lot of new game studios start popping up 1/2

I love my producers. They are the backbone of any team and work so damn hard!

You know how you're supposed to put your own mask on before helping others on an airplane? This is why I make my coffee first in the morning.

Just a reminder before the “big announcement” today. Autism was discovered in 1911 and the modern definition of Autism came in 1943. Tylenol wasn’t widely used until the 1950s. Anyone trying to tell you that Tylenol causes Autism isn’t someone that should be taken seriously.

I will never forget the time I was asked to assist in UX testing a design, wrote up an outline of no-go issues, and then was told by the PM that they weren't going to address any of them because it would take too long. Our director then yelled at us for not testing the UX thoroughly when it failed.

Heghlu'meH QaQ jajvam!

I find it interesting that, in addition to Jimmy Kimmel's own statements, Colbert made a point of saying Sunday how Kimmel bought a billboard saying he was voting for Colbert in the Emmys, the Emmy that Colbert then won that 🌮 never did. Just interesting.

Also, I am curious to know: Am I in the minority that still considers being considered an "Xbox Gamer" is a negative? Has the stereotype evolved when I wasn't looking?

I have it on excellent authority that some American based games studios now owned by Xbox have been directed to only develop pre-exisiting IPs, no new game world ideas. Do with that what you will.

This is a 9-0 Supreme Court decision from just last year.

Just canceled my Disney+ sub in protest of the censorship and caving to cancel Jimmy Kimmel. I recognize it isn't much, but hitting their bottom line where I'm able is what I can do.

Shocked but not surprised to learn how many ~titans of industry~ who probably think of themselves as brave ballsy businessmen are actually cowardly pieces of shit when it counts.

“That was part of what made Bethesda special. Have you ever heard anybody use the phrase, ‘it's not personal, it's just business?’ I think that's what assholes say, because you are interacting with another human being." www.dbltap.com/features/24-...

I drew a (political) meme because that's what Elder Millennials do to feel something in times like this. I know the difference between table salt and calcium chloride et al; just saw how Chicago is using their salt trucks in the off-season and had to send love from Baltimore. #Chicago #artsky

An underappreciated CPTSD recovery hack is to create. Create anything. Art, music, food. It doesn't have to be objectively "good," or objectively anything-- just create. Make. Generate. Creativity oils every aspect of our recovery work. It literally reanimates our brain & heart.

Hope all you video game industry workers in the States have a good Labor Day, especially all the video game industry union members in whatever part of the business you work. Thank you!

Just a brief throwback to that time I got to go to PAX West 2017 for work where the coolest booths were, hands down #ESO Morrowind's and #Wolfenstein 2.

One frustrating part of these continued games industry layoffs is that 'data' is being cited as the reason, and thus developers are now cursing the use of 'data' in game design and development. It really stinks because 1/5

My uncle toured in Iraq and went in one of Saddam Hussein's mansions they captured. He said everything in it was fake gilding and faux marble facades. That's what all this reminds me of.
