Me after reading the headline: I bet they were trying to unionize. The article: They were trying to unionize.

the Command & Conquer series is 30 years old today we so have an excuse to share this iconic moment with Tim Curry

BRACE FOR LAYOFFS

I cannot express how wild this quote is. This is a top tech analyst at a well-regarded firm saying that there is not enough capital to actually pay for all the stuff that NVIDIA and OpenAI has promised. It is so important that everybody realizes that *there is not enough money to do this*

I know Hades 2 comes out today, but I'm begging people to check out Consume Me, an IGF-winning sensation that's got so much heart

very amused that to some folks this meme is my greatest contribution to game design

this is like when you opened an EGM in early 2005 and saw a fake prerendered screenshot for what ps3 games could look like

For anyone picking up Deus Ex for the glory of its original aesthetic, Kentie's launcher has done me solid for many years for high resolution+fps+fov settings. Too many ppl start with the Revision mod, which is like listening to a remix without hearing the original song. kentie.net/article/dxgu...

Same tho

“I use it for brainstorming.” is quickly becoming my most hated pro-AI statement. YOU TOOK YOUR BRAIN OUT OF THE EQUATION. THAT IS NOT BRAINSTORMING.

By far my favorite part of South Korean elections: election night graphics. SBS television station kills it EVERY. TIME. They play these clips all night and they get more and more unhinged and creative as the night goes on.

FF Tactics reviews are out and the streets are saying a tactics game made in 1997 could be the 2025 game of the year. ..anyway if you like those kinds of games, I'm making a Tactical Clown RPG so honk if you can hear me and don't forget to wishlist on your way out ok bye! #pixelart #gamedev 🎮

Thirty-two years ago today, Myst was released. Happy Birthday, little guy! 🎂

Proudly presenting People of Note, a turn-based RPG musical, releasing in 2026 in association with Annapurna Interactive. You don't wanna miss this one, folks. (Reposted with fixed trailer!)

Ireland just released a report showing the huge success of the unconditional basic income it provided to artists. Each $1 spent led to society gaining $1.39. Artists' earned incomes went up more than their side job incomes fell. And they were happier and used less welfare www.gov.ie/en/departmen...

okay THIS is some actual info tho

one brings shadow, one brings light

something that I’ve been thinking about since DICE is that a lot of highly skilled devs are subject to management labelling them as ‘difficult’ and sidelining them simply because they point out and want to solve a problem, mismanagement which I think has contributed to a lot of failed projects

probably the realest thing ive ever seen posted on that website

it’s not like there are any other games releasing at the same time 🤡 store.steampowered.com/app/2359120/... #indiegames #hades2 #gaming #silksong #cloverpit #babysteps

They blamed the WiFi, but the real reason is so much more embarrassing. And funny.

I feel like what publishers took away from Baldur’s Gate’s success is that every game needs to have like 5000 hours of content, instead of the much more valuable takeaway imo: you need to let players have sex with a demon lady and a man who turns into a bear

Japan has a wrestling camp for kids where at the end they have a show match in front of their parents to show off what they learned. Thought you'd enjoy this.

The world's on fire but I can't miss my yearly Bermuda selfie.

Updated my website to reflect my status as a highly employable writer ooooooh you feel compelled to look www.emmkid.info 🪄

I cannot yell about this enough. So many times I've seen an idea with lots of potential get thrown out because it wasn't "perfect" initially, only to be replaced with another underbaked idea, when we could have taken the same amount of time to reflect upon, tighten up and grow the first idea more.

The fix is in. Get your COVID vax THIS WEEK, friends. Do not wait if you can avoid it.

Reading my first honkaku novel and I keep stopping to take notes and this is probably not the most productive way to enjoy a book is it.

Playful Narrative: A Toolbox for Story-Rich Mechanics explores ways to more deeply integrate narrative into game mechanics, or, as the work group said, to enhance the experience of “playing” with story.

We don’t want AI slop. Stop sending us AI slop. Stop wasting our time with AI slop. It doesn’t sound good. It’s antithetical to our core values. You didn’t even make it. Knock it off.

@twrpband.bsky.social put on another banger show. Who else would feed the audience hotdogs mid-set?

@jparish.bsky.social A number of years ago I stumbled on the story behind A Link to the Past's Chris Houlihan Room, including the letter sent to Chris from Nintendo Power. I finally decided to make a video about it all, in case you're interested. youtu.be/SY00ri_a9y4?...
