did not expect this to get funnier with age

Absurdly punishing for the teams that were already scheduling tough nonconference opponents. Depending on when this goes into effect, Georgia Tech could play 12 P4 games in 2026 and 2027.

Are you or someone you know skipping GDC (or considering doing so) because of worries about coming to the US/San Francisco in the current environment? If so, I want to hear from you for a piece. DM me here or kyle DOT orland AT arstechnica DOT com. Please spread the word

Those cows are unbothered by the destruction of GDC because they were already spending all their time at Yerba Beuna and the Marriott

Everything is Gamergate and no corporation will ever learn any lesson from it

New on Knock: Trump calls the homeless a blight and demands that they be jailed or swept out of the city. He’s late to the party; LA officials like Traci Park have pushed the same line for years. Let’s reckon with the fascism in our backyard—@cartermoon.bsky.social knock-la.com/when-donald-...

it's so funny to see America's health insurance companies be like "look. If there's one thing we love it's denying you care. but we ran the numbers - and we cannot BELIEVE we're saying this - and it's cheaper for us to just pay for the vaccines than deal with you going to the ER."

"The Jackets run the ball twice as much as they throw it, because nothing’s more frustrating than getting wham blocked by a guy who can do calculus." will never forget the season we had two players leave early for the first round of the NFL draft and 1 player leave early for Microsoft

It is important to make your guests feel welcome. So this is not a field storming, we’re meeting at the GT

Floor Plan 2 is one of five nominees for "Best Solo Journey" in the #VRForever Awards, recognizing some of the greatest experiences that VR has to offer! Join the celebration at @vr-forever.com and on Steam from September 18th to 23rd with announcements, sales, and more.

Loving the little I've played of Silksong but it has hard crashed on PS5 for me 3 times in the first 2 hours of play. Anybody else having issues? Wondering if I should swap platforms.

and to think Mack Brown has no idea what happened tonight because he destroyed his television after the first drive

You're welcome, America

Army needs to bring back woke and LGBTQ+ Lotsa Good Blocking, Tackling and Quarterbacking + not losing to an FCS team

If you live on the Westside in LA, your city council rep (Traci Park) is just as bad - she introduced the resolution opposing SB 79. There's a chance to vote her out next year.

so the massively overhyped machine built on stolen property by people who don’t give a shit not only will replace your job but it’ll also try to help kill you. got it. pretty easy messaging if we’re being honest

Here’s what the Taylor swift and Travis kelce engagement taught me about B2B sales:

This is a HUGE problem for puzzle / adventure games, where it spits out enough details to sound plausible. Pick one of your favorites and ask about a hard puzzle. Here's it confidently hallucinating about Paradise Killer (wrong about holy seals, the footbaths do not activate corridors, etc)

Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter is a very, very good remake. The demo is 5+ hours long and save data carries over to the full game when it releases next month, absolutely worth a try if you liked Persona 5 or Metaphor: trailsfirstchapter.com/trial/

This is the best imaginable starting point for new Trails players. Don’t miss this in September — a life changing RPG made modern and wonderful.

Only a matter of time for this type of thing to start impacting your favorite games and platforms. Future aint looking all that bright, friends.

This extends to 3DOF VR, where some experiences were good (and more accessible) because of those limitations compared to 6DOF. We watched the industry belittle a generation of 3DOF UX, only for Vision Pro's eye tracking and pinch to push everyone back to what indies were exploring on Gear VR.

"The Bible that Dobson weaponized against millions of us tells us in dozens of ways that it is OK to feel good about evil people running out of chances to inflict evil. It also tells us there is no better revenge than refusing to pay hatred forward," writes @jasonkirk.fyi. sojo.net/articles/opi...

"It's not MSNBC anymore, Lemon. It's MS NOW. We bought the name off of a defunct multiple sclerosis awareness organization. It wasn't cheap, but we were able to save some money by selling Brian Williams to a Saudi prince who wanted to expand his harem."

We're excited to announce that applications are open for the Draknek New Voices Puzzle Grant 2025 🎉 The grant will award $15,000 to five thinky puzzle game developers from all over the world, and a year's mentorship with genre veterans. Deadline: September 28th More info 👇 grants.draknek.org

I'd been mulling over an essay about reality and AI and politics even while at The Post. Now I've written it. www.pbump.net/o/blurred-wo...

you don't understand. as someone who isn't inherently good at art, stealing paintings from the museum is the *only* way i'm able to express myself creatively. i wouldn't be able to paint beautiful portraits. but by breaking into a museum and stealing the paintings, now i am

I know I am but one voice in a chorus all yelling into the void but I want to remind folks that I am still open for freelance or short-term contract work! I'd love to help you design your game, whether it's on the narrative side or quests / mission design. Need journal text written? I'm your guy!

My phone got the local emergency alert almost two hours after NOAA/NWS moved us from a watch to an advisory, and about 30 minutes after NOAA/NWS downgraded the forecast for our area to "less than 1 foot." Better than nothing, but not great!

we have so many reasons to be angry and ultimately we are fucked if we keep directing that at the easiest and closest targets rather than the most powerful and impactful ones

📜I am deeply saddened by the changes on Itchio overnight that have impacted colleagues in the indie game development scene. Pressure groups are doing this with a goal of driving back rights for LGBTQIA+ people. Please, if you're able, consider signing this petition: action.aclu.org/petition/mas...

“Trump’s name is in the Epstein Files” Yeah no shit and Babe Ruth is in Baseball Reference

DK Bananza is very good! There's a lot of technical artistry on display here, but the character animations are the standout feature for me. I'm 5 layers and 150 bananas deep but gonna stop and save the rest to play on a trip away from home.

They're calling it the most subverted paywall in history

Took a while but I've successfully trained my dog as a drug dog, by which I mean he runs to the cabinet where I keep his heartworm/flea meds when I say "want some drugs?"

What will it take to get you off Twitter aftermath.site/twitter-elon-m...

if you post about how people should just make solo game projects or start small indie projects you are now on the hook to personally buy a copy of every single small-indie game you hear about on both steam and itch. if you don't do that you are a poser

Looking forward to the "Indies will save the industry" articles to which I will say NOT WHEN THERE IS NO ONE FUNDING OR HIRING THEM AS CONTRACTORS

🤯 What every campaign in times immemorial insists they're going to pull off, and pretty much never do. A code cracked.

tired: passing legislation wired: running legislation, 28 yards, first down

It breaks my heart to say it, but unfortunately I was caught up in this layoff. The industry is a complete mess right now, and I don’t blame any of this on the folks at Cyan, who have done as right by me as they possibly could.

Hi all—we're sorry to say that we've had another round of layoffs at Cyan. We've updated our previously shared sheet to reflect folks still (or newly) looking for opportunities: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1NURnVwfeqolPAVN-Dn44UpXZS3bRVMaCNQczIzhIpdc/edit?usp=sharing

NEW: EA CEO Andrew Wilson was paid $30.5 million in cash and stock this past year, up about $5m from a year ago Since the U.S. requires companies to compare CEO pay to employee pay, I made an EA pay chart To make it work, I had to make it VERY TALL Take a look: www.gamefile.news/p/ea-ceo-and...
