make friends with girls in games because they send you "sorry you got laid off" presents

just saw a job ad for 🧊 on linkedin... buddy my mom is an immigrant lmfao you've got the wrong bitch

ever since microsoft's layoffs in early july, the two zenimax unions have been fighting for impacted employees following the cancellation of the elder scrolls online studio's unannounced mmo. they've won laid-off workers more time (aka more pay), better severance, recall rights, and saved some jobs

SPEAKER ANNOUNCEMENT 📢 Emma Kidwell - Writer 💚 Get a deeper understanding of the games media to #gamedev pipeline, the successes, and the deterioration 💙What new writers and narrative designers should do now to kickstart their career now that the pipeline no longer exists. #GDoCExpo2025

"debate me" ok pull up

We never addressed it properly and so it continues, and the people who fight against it will continue to have their lives upended because of a bunch of terminally online antisocial weirdos

My takeaway from all of this right now: It’s almost like all the marginalized folks who have been telling you these alt-right, forum-dwelling neo-gamer gaters are a Real Fucking Problem are valid and shouldn’t be repeatedly told to “just ignore them.” It’s not the games, but it sure is the culture!

oh they're gonna blame video games aren't they

power washing simulator 2?! all other games can go home sorry

HAPPY BORDERLANDS 4 DAY ✨ I did a little bit of writing on the game, and it was so fun and i'm so happy i got to share space with other really great writers. *~you can also hire me full time to write because i got laid off~* okay byee have fun!!

i'm not exaggerating when i say i've been waiting for everyone else to play this for *so long* because it's got such good narrative design and it's a love letter to the girls who felt ugly growing up imo

this is my version of wednesday night football or whatever sports are happening right now

The timing on this is hilarious because i've become the statistic of unemployed writers, BUT I'll be chatting about the games media to game writer pipeline, why it worked, and what's viable now 📝 ti.to/GDoCExpo/2025

oh my god i forgot borderlands 4 comes out this week *and* i wrote on it!! My *second* AAA release in the year of our lord (me) getting laid off :')

Hi! I was laid off from Firaxis this morning. I wrote leaders and civs for Civilization VII (NDA for now) and Deadpool and Storm for Marvel's Midnight Suns. I also wrote the award-nominated Hindsight. I'm available for full time, remote work starting ASAP. DMs are open: emmkid.info

heeeeey maybe if you're a publication don't talk about how bad a game performed in the same breath as the layoffs that happened lmfao

I was a Firaxis narrative designer/writer and lost my job today. Any help sharing leads on new opportunities would be great! Over 3.5 years, I contributed to Civilization VII and Marvel’s Midnight Suns, helping turn maps, mechanics, and chaos into memorable stories. See my work benreeves.carrd.co

Hey y'all- I was impacted by the layoffs at Firaxis this morning. If you or anyone you know needs a mid to senior level materials artist that has experience in building material libraries, lighting, 2D art, and props I'm your girl!https://www.artstation.com/daniellazeman
