Activision did Spielberg a huge favor here.

I’ll never understand this…

Hell yeah, Sandwich Guy. Fight the Power!

Incredible game FYI 👇

RIP Aria Lift Bar (IYKYK) #DICE

I got blocked by Chet on 2 platforms today. My workday was successful and is now complete.

People should start making videogames about real historical people + stories. Like interactive biopics, but fudge it a little for the sake of cool game mechanics.

If you’ve played (or even haven’t played) the wonderful Bionic Bay, definitely check out this awesome episode I did with @juhanamyllys.bsky.social. Super-interesting story around this game and its creation!

You simply cannot stop @johnromero.bsky.social and @brendaromero.bsky.social ❤️❤️❤️

Screenwest are flying me (and @camrogerslegal.bsky.social!) out to Perth this month to have our brains picked on the game biz. There's chats to attend & also 1:1s if you're keen. If you're a studio head in WA, or wanting to start one, make sure to register! www.screenwest.com.au/news/latest-...

I play way less videogames now than I did a year or two ago. Partly because I have a full life of other interests that are more important, but also because I don't really get enough joy out of it anymore because I rely on them for primal survival and the industry is toxic. I think I resent them now?

Don’t worry. Everyone will forget this by the time conference season rolls around and we are having drinks in fancy bars and giving out trophies and lauding careers from the VIP seats.

Wild inclusion.

YOOOOOOOOOOO

I’m sitting up front at SGF show and the audio is so loud and distorted. Just a full-on bass assault that feels + sounds terrible. It’s making all these trailers for the same game so oppressive 🤢 Thank god for Mixtape!

Randomly stumbled across a Banksy in London today:

Any recommendations for a non-Adobe, non-subscription .pdf editor (primarily used on Mac I guess). Absolutely cannot deal with the Adobe grift anymore.

Entire Dedra series.

Cozy Glider Vampire Town

I’ve been buying and using Apple computers for as long as I have been using computers. I upgraded to a maxed-out Mac Mini and the 27” Studio display and it’s the best computer setup I’ve ever had. 2 power cables and single thunderbolt. This monitor is insane. Worth every penny.

Pretty alarming seeing this in the theater today and basically seeing it mirror our government/president/etc.

I think they really blew that Last of Us episode.

$100 GTA VI CONFIRMED

Me logging in to see the same people hysterically complaining about April 1st every year without realizing that the complaining is actually worse than April 1st.

Next-level graphic and logo design. Really creative stuff!

I’ve never seen a Studio Ghibli film.

TFW that one account you quite enjoy when you are here (maybe once per day) has to get muted because somehow, they relentlessly post 24 hours a day and take up your entire feed with extremely specific niche content + hot takes.

On the #GameMakersNotebook, @adamorth.bsky.social chats with MachineGames' @llerd.bsky.social and Axel Torvenius about #IndianaJones and the Great Circle, using first-person, the importance of recreating an iconic opening scene, and Troy Baker's Harrison Ford-approved performance as Indiana Jones!

My latest @official-aias.bsky.social Game Maker's Notebook episode is live: I had a great conversation with Jens Andersson and Axel Torvenius of Machine Games about their work on the excellent and award-winning Indiana Jones and the Great Circle. gamemakersnotebook.libsyn.com/mysteries-of...

Somebody could do very well at GDC by renting out a curated space in close proximity to Moscone for meetings with a ton of seating, tables and a couple cash bars with a simple cover charge. Standing around hotel lobbies is wack. It is called “Biz of the Devs” cc @gregrice.bsky.social

Happy Friday. The weekend is mysterious and important.

I deleted my Twitter account today. This freedom feels almost as good as watching the guy in the Cybertruck behind me this morning at the stoplight in the rearview mirror voraciously picking his nose and eating his boogers while talking on the phone. Almost.

Hey if we are pals and you want to meet up in GDC I'd like that.

You can set Slack to Comic Sans.

“Business acumen” 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Can anyone recommend a calendar app/tool like Calendly that supports iCloud calendars? DICE was a nightmare for me because of Calendly not supporting my personal calendar.

On the #GameMakersNotebook podcast, @adamorth.bsky.social chats with Tetris creator, Alexey Pajitnov about his early life, creating Tetris, real-time vs turn-based puzzle design, distributing Tetris outside the Soviet Union, what he hopes for the future of Tetris, and more! Episode links below🎙️👇

To say that the opportunity to interview Alexey Pajitnov, the legendary creator of Tetris and personal hero + idol, is a big deal for me would be an understatement. Top-10 bucket list. @official-aias.bsky.social Game Maker's Notebook episode is live" gamemakersnotebook.libsyn.com/tetris-creat...

After nearly 40 years and COUNTLESS failed attempts, I have finally completed watching David Lynch’s Dune. Absolutely terrible. No notes.

Oooopsie!

That's it for tonight. Killer games up for grabs here. Make sure you read the replies to see if somebody took it before you try :)

Who’s ready for a few free cool-ass indie game codes tonight? Battle Royale starts in 30 minutes. Get ready for some stupid riddles!

I love NIN. I’ve been seeing NIN live since Lollapalooza. I’m the real deal OG. I have never missed a tour and ALWAYS see multiple shows per tour. I have never paid over $100 for a ticket (have the stubs to prove it) until today when I paid $500 for a single seat on the floor.

Nobody got this one yet!!!
