my father-in-law is a “I know a guy” Guy. sadly all the old Guys are aging out of the Guy Economy. Guys are fundamentally incompatible with Hustle Culture because it’s not about “winning” a deal, it’s about collecting favors and goodwill in a mutually-beneficial cycle. protect your local Guy Economy

Ziff Davis just reported their "strongest quarterly revenue growth since 2021," up 9.8% to $352.2M, with gaming and entertainment up 7.5% YOY. So why were 8 of our members and 23 members of @zdcreatorsguild.bsky.social just laid off? bit.ly/3H0Osvb

Hops and DK Bananza have a similar nut / vine building mechanic! It’s always cool finding out we’re in a similar design space to the best teams at Nintendo.

I like that people enjoy this one. Feels nice sometimes to drop the pretense and let out my genuine wish that everyone achieve some sort of security and ability to appreciate and find joy in their idiosyncracies.

I don’t talk about video games much on the show, but I always love when I get the opportunity and this conversation with @nathangrayson.bsky.social is no exception! It was great to get his insights on what’s happening at Microsoft and the broader troubles facing game workers.

Might be a good time to remind folks of the No ICE in California itch bundle raising funds for the immigrant defenders law center (or you can donate to them directly) itch.io/b/3110/no-ic...

I will listen to any @writnelson.bsky.social interview but this one goes especially hard!!! Listen if your brain like a big thinky about games

anyone who got on social media after 2014 or so is under the mistaken impression that the primary goal of social media is for it to Accomplish Something while those of us who have been on since the start know the true purpose of social media is to give us a place to Post so we don't go (more) insane

The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles cartoon is notorious for its poor DVD release. A year or two ago, someone sent me 4 of the home laserdiscs releases. Here's the first of four that I am uploading to the Internet Archive. archive.org/details/Teen...

The irony of ADHD at work is that they only assign ABPs / admin assistants to executives. If I had an ABP, my reach would no longer exceed my grasp. We would chart a course to success together, lock tf in and crush every obstacle in our path

Bomb Rush Cyberfunk is literally the perfect game to teach your kid 3D platforming

‼️REPOST YOUR TIKTOKS ‼️ don’t miss out on potentially finding your games audience by not repurposing your short form content on Reels and YT Shorts gonna use my recent client @kaizengameworks.com Promise Mascot Agency as an example in the thread below ⬇️✨

✨📈 Important YouTube data update! (1/2) We’re changing how we count Shorts views to better align with what creators expect from other platforms. Starting March 31 we’ll count Shorts playbacks of any duration as a view, including replays/loops. More details: support.google.com/youtube/thre...

40M CCU is truly wild. I am VERY curious to know how much of this is SteamOS.

I hate this game!! (I love this game)

First biz trip in a while this week, LA > NY! Excited to get Avowed queued up on the Steam Deck... Has anyone tried this / how does it run / any config tips?

Someone make a Hardspace: Shipbreaker version of this so I can repost it

holy shit, they're in the process of uploading all of farscape officially to YT for free. WATCH THIS SHOW, it's bonkers and fantastic!! I cannot emphasise enough how damn good it is 😍

@itsvanaken.bsky.social just discovered Viewport! I dig the project, the industry needs more documentarians 🙌

There’s a lot old video game house mixes on YouTube. Gateway to getting into real music. youtu.be/8Hn-pNxtByM?...

One for indie devs: what happens if TikTok really gets banned in the US this Sunday? Here is a thread with data and hot takes from a game that mastered TikTok and is now doing well on TikTok-clones and potential life savers: Instagram Reels and YouTube Shorts Let’s dive in!

just so you know, the post i've quoted here is a thread. it gathers much of my learning + observation about dissent into authoritarianism, how it happens, how to respond + recommended reading at the bottom <3

Today sucked. Get you some games for free and relax. Here's ~150 picks and another 50 on the second tab waiting for details.

@derek-lieu.com presents a powerful idea: create your trailer first! Before you build anything, know what’s compelling about your project and how you might communicate it. The “what’s good to show?” panic at the end of a project is too real. #gamedev

I made a feed that shows posts linking a Youtube video about game development. #gamedev bsky.app/profile/did:...

Okay, Matthew Ball's The State of Video Gaming in 2025 is a really monumental achievement and an absolute gold mine of stats that put the current game industry into its economic context. Strongly recommend. www.matthewball.co/all/stateofv...

I've had so many folks ask me about freelancing lately that I decided to just record all the basics once and make a video out of it... so here is my very first YouTube video! "Games Freelancing 101: An Informed Leap." 💖 www.youtube.com/watch?v=uZxJ...

Happy 2025! What is everyone hyped to be working on this year? I’m feeling super motivated about my current main project. I can’t wait to be able to share details with the pubs & devs in my network 🙌

Seen a few folks astonished by my lack of support for ChatGPT and similar. Because AI, right? Yeah, no. What we have right now is glorified autocorrect. Glorified autocorrect that takes the energy of an entire city to do what it does, plus half of Lake Erie to cool down while it's doing it.

Nosferatu was fucked up!! Richly spooky vibes and some legit scary moments. Solid acting from Orlok & everyone “caught in his shadow”- the possessed bride, the gleeful skittering familiar, the implied necrophile, the pace-quickening Dafoe Recommend seeing in a theater. Hope you like plague rats!!!

@weloveeverygame.bsky.social Welcome to bsky and thanks for the newsletters 🫶

My fave custom Discord emoji I’ve made is :bigmud: from Sludge Life, which I use to connote a sort of hyper productive, neuromed-boosted flow state (iykyk). Animated version goes harder

I couldn't sleep last night so I started on a filterable spreadsheet of the best free PC games around. Sort by genre, system requirements, multiplayer, etc, F2P status, etc. Still got lots to fill in, but I think I've made great progress for one day. Check it out and suggest more additions!

@playthebazaar.bsky.social Hey team, re: your tweet a while back about The Bazaar not having a YT game category yet. That's not uncommon pre-launch and usually resolves itself shortly after the game gets a dedicated Wikipedia entry. More info: support.google.com/youtube/answ...
