most martial arts classes will teach you increasingly complex systems of wrist escapes which you will invariably misremember let me present another option for getting people to let go of you: punch them in the face 🤜😵‍💫 if you'd like to attend, shoot me a DM for the address 💪

i asked bria for a quote about ball kicking for this post and she left me on read

i love disposable friendslop as a new game vector however the low likelihood of payoff increasingly means indie failure and the death of the low end. banking on being one hit in thousands is not a sound way to gamble your livelihood for even a modest commitment sad days

rare L take from aftermath i get that this is an attempt to show empathy and care for the workers by pushing back against callous layoffs. it’s admirable but the take itself encourages irresponsible behaviour that increases suffering of those same workers think through what actually happens

Game folks who've been laid off: What % of your regular salary would you need to accept a contract position? Would you.. - accept a lower rate just to have income? - insist on matching your usual salary? - need an amount greater to deal with contract overhead / uncertainty?

forza horizon 6 is very good. 9.5/10

thanks to everyone who spoke to me for this story. i had over 20k words between research and transcripts, so there's a ton i left out, which ironically provides an even bigger scale to how much of an issue this is

there are many ways to be influential in the game industry. you can lead in your studio, release your own content, be quoted in the media... but nothing comes close to the satisfaction i feel knowing that my biceps have become inspiration at Respawn, a place i have never worked ☺️

watching lillian's progression over the last year and a half has really been spectacular and you should all follow her on account of being not only cool but also extremely good at things

i don’t post here because it feels insanely difficult to get traction on any post that doesn’t upset people if i post criticizing something that sucks it will spread like wildfire but stuff i love dies on the vine i do not have the luxury of ignoring such things

if no bias is present, the probability of hiring 9 white people in a row in the US is less than 1% if no bias is present, the probability of hiring 9 men in a row in the US is less than 0.2% if no bias is present, the probability of hiring 9 white men in a row in the US approaches fucking ZERO

it turns out if you change your name to an incomprehensible in-joke, no-one knows who you are hopefully this replacement incomprehensible in-joke is recognizable as still being me

This is so good. I was at this show. I’m one of those 50+ punks. I grew up stage diving at Fender’s in Long Beach, I broke my back when I was 17. The guys preening the most trying to prove the most were never part of the scene. They know it, it’s why they overact like they were.

there’s only one thing i want you to always remember. no matter where you go, or which corner of the cosmos you may be in, you will always be able to find a safe haven by my side

<me> hm i woke up at 5:45am and my stomach hurt. that’s weird <also me> maybe it’s bc you ate half a loaf of bread for dinner <me> .. <also me> and lunch was vodka sauce pasta with chorizo <me> … <also me> and you washed all this down with protein shakes <me> you don’t know me get out of my head

with the recent uptick of people wasting my time in my DMs i am instituting a DM fee for non-mutuals. $25cad a month this has been staggeringly effective at filtering out noise and harassment on twt and i am hoping for the same here :) ko-fi.com/chhopsky

skill-based matchmaking is good for competitive PVP games

i don’t understand threads because what is this. over 10% engagement on 23k views. i only had a handful of people on there to begin with and didn’t get much traction. nearly 500 followers on a reasonably blank account out of nowhere is this photo really THAT much better than the others?

Del always nails it but this time Del has really nailed it.

too good to leave on twt

there are a bunch of people on this web site who can only cum by fulfilling what they believe is a moral imperative to psychologically torture a socially acceptable target and if they can’t find someone who’s done a crime they believe deserves punishment they’ll just pretend you did something

oh my god this is extremely funny
