Hey Brits! I'm sure you've seen this, but quite a lot of us don't dig this move. I certainly don't. Seems invasive and quite open to abuse (and hacking!), especially looking at the shower in power and the worse shower waiting in the wings. Yeesh. petition.parliament.uk/petitions/73...

Happy Friday, time for a picnic ☀️ #StarWarsJediSurvivor

I'm listening

Spent far too many hours grinding out a gear set for a job I barely even play but as soon as I saw it I knew I had to have it.

what movie do you consider “perfect”?

Jayce and the Wheeled Warriors. The fact that they canned it after one season and left the story unfinished is frankly criminal. I mean it literally has the greatest theme tune of all time: www.youtube.com/watch?v=y9K0...

Today we're repping @aftermath.site and @kim-hu.com 🤍

them: we'll be there between 9 and 12 me, not wanting to start anything until they're gone:

Team Cherry, to the best of my knowledge, never diminished the work of contractors. Let that be clear. It was brainrotted assholes who want to insist that gamedev “isn’t that hard” and “only needed a few devs and a handful of contractors” to get this masterpiece out the door. Don’t fall for it.

Semiotic Standard icons designed by Ron Cobb for the USCSS Nostromo in Alien (1979). They're everywhere in the USCSS Maginot from Alien Earth (2025).

You ever see an ad for a cool shirt and when you click through to buy it you realise it's for kids?

Thinkin' about a boxed, teal Gameboy Color that I saw for sale yesterday. Box looked pretty much perfect but I'd need to ask to see the Gameboy itself. Assuming it's equal condition, would you pay £150? 🤔

Hey folks, my availability opens up in September and onwards! If you're looking for a freelance UI Artist or Illustrator, I would love to help! 😊I love working on Game UI, Posters, environments, you name it! 📨: Hello(@)http://Olliehoff.co.uk 🎨http://Olliehoff.co.uk

four bucks for one of the best games ever made

Quote with your red art 🔴

Ahhh, I see the internet has distilled another batch of pure 200 proof 'my bullshit'... youtu.be/zNXFEJ1xC2E?...

Excited to share I’ve joined Vessel Forge as a mentor! If you are looking to level up your sculpting skills as an environment artist, stay turned for more info. 😊

Finished Clair Obscur 😢

Went to Loxwood Joust at the weekend which also turned out to be my introduction to Trobar De Morte. Genuinely a magical performance so excuse me while this band becomes my entire personality.

I love this stupid game

The new Game UI Database server is now firing on all cylinders, which means updates are finally back on the menu! To mark the occasion, Donkey Kong Bananza, Mario Kart World, Switch 2 Welcome Tour and the Switch 2 OS have all been added to the database! www.gameuidatabase.com

Let's be trade partners since it's actually intuitive now instead of a huge pain in the ass 🙌 2955841919966220

Finally figured out an Unreal thing that's been bugging me for ages and now I feel unstoppable.

Game devs adding 'temp' assets that they're gonna come back and update later

Skegness, one of your absolute finest people right here. Buy her a drink whenever you see her.

My dream ✨

The dumbest most boring and hateful losers stomping their feet and getting whatever they want is getting really really old

Increasingly convinced the main damage cell phones have done to creativity isn't decreased attention spans or what not but the elimination of productive boredom. Inspiration comes from the mind filling the void inside. Hard to make art when you're constantly silencing the silence with "content."

If you see this, post your blue art 🖥️

16) Stole this one from a recent skeet I saw: If generative AI could REALLY make the next GTA in 6 months with 10 staff, or write the next bestseller, or produce 10 blockbusters a day? They wouldn't be trying to sell it to YOU. They would keep it for themselves and guard it from you ferociously.

Not using alt text in general is annoying, not using WHEN YOU ARE SCREENCAPPING is even more annoying. You can cut and paste from the original source or use the OCR that is built into the app! There is no excuse!

classic rule of thumb for writing alt text when you're lost, lands every time. i guess we just need the familiar social context, rather than thinking of it as an academic writing assignment

Friends, I ordered a Steam Deck. What have been your favourite games to play on it?

If anyone needs a frankly astonishing 2D artist for UI, concept or any other need then @wiloverton.bsky.social is your man. Apart from his immense skills he is one of the loveliest chaps in all the Game Dev industry. He also has some killer anecdotes from many a year being in and around games.

Tonight!

CDPR is hiring for a bunch of game jobs, y'all. No writing roles on my team at this moment, but lots of other positions. It's a really good place to land www.cdprojektred.com/en/jobs

As I’ve spent the last 7.5 years assembling the AAA team at Zenimax Online, I have a deep understanding of their strengths/passions and where those might line up with YOUR team’s needs. So if you’re in #talent #recruiting or just hiring for your project, my DMs are open! RIP to the best team ever.

Today I again remind folks at that we offer free tickets to @gaconf.bsky.social for folks caught in layoffs and unable to find work

Hey folks, this is a reminder that I'm currently looking for work! I'm an experienced producer with 8 years in games, worked on major franchises like God of War and Gears of War (yes), in Unreal and Unity houses, and across technical and creative disciplines. Please feel free to reach out!

For anyone who was impacted by the layoffs today we have a small number of open roles at Outfit7. It almost felt silly and insignificant to share, considering the sheer scale of these layoffs??? but if it gets someone back in a job then that's all that matters. outfit7.com/careers/jobs

For those affected in the Xbox layoffs today, we have a few roles open at Gearbox, DM me if any of these are you! www.gearboxsoftware.com/careers/#car...

We don't have a great number of openings right now, but posting what is there in case it helps anyone affected land something. www.arena.net/en/careers

Riot has 141 open roles at the moment- including some 77 in LA and some 24 in Mercer Island. It feels like a drop in the bucket these days, but please take a look if you need it. www.riotgames.com/en/work-with...

Wil is a powerhouse and whoever manages to nab him next is gonna be incredibly fortunate.

CD PROJEKT RED is hiring ❤️

So I have 2 tickets for the NieR: Piano Solo Concert in London tomorrow and unfortunately won't be able to attend. I appreciate it's super short notice but if any friends would like to go in my place then just let me know 🤍 (Cadogan Hall, 7:30pm)

IDK I feel like mass layoffs should be a super rare event where the only alternative is the company literally going under.
