Huge change to Mobygames - you can now comment on any credits you've received. Very handy if e.g. you gave your blood, sweat and tears for years, then only got a 'thanks'... (No, you're bitter.) Only for claimed profiles, not sure if requires sub. e.g. www.mobygames.com/person/61849...

Hey, so, I was so angry today that, for once, I blogged it instead of posting about it. Games media, especially mainstream games media, cannot keep abdicating responsibility in how it talks about these things an-evening-at-the-inn.ghost.io/video-game-s...

RALLY TOGETHER, GAMERS! Tomorrow is a big day for Xbox studio ecosystem workers and their unions - they are preparing to rally in support of their colleagues facing layoffs. Join their effort with this mod: Nexus: www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mod... Bethnet: creations.bethesda.net/en/fallout4/...

Perhaps overshadowed today by the tragic news about Sam Neill, but we also lost another great actor today: Wai Ching Ho. A well-kent face most widely known for playing as Matriarch crime boss Madame Gao in the Marvel Defenders shows, and the voice of Grandma in Turning Red.

Artfight attack - Gein-Ru for @retrowyrm.bsky.social ! Bought a new brush set to make the background, it was really fun to experiment with. It's also fun to draw some completely different things and characters from what I normally do regardless, Artfight is really nice for that :) #art #artfight

MSFT laid off the Elder Scrolls artist who designed the Khajit and the Argonians. She has been with the franchise for 27 years. When she started work there the guy who would eventually helm X-Box and lay her off was 9 years old.

Fallout 1: Find the water chip Fallout 3: Find your dad Fallout NV: Find your killer Fallout 4: Find your son Fallout 5: Find the corporate executives who fired your friends - also here's a gun. They're irredeemable psychopaths. And ugly. And they insult you. And your mom. Did I mention the gun?

apparently AAA game devs only know three engines and it's Unreal, UDK and Unreal Engine 5 for some reason

NEW: The layoff confirmations are pouring in now. Another WARN notice indicates that a total of 379 ZeniMax employees based in Maryland have been laid off by Microsoft. That includes 213 workers at ZeniMax Online Studios, the developer behind The Elder Scrolls Online.

Big corporations, game publishers, games media and studio heads always say that narrative is #1 in video games - and it's actually true! #1 whose work gets tossed aside and redone by directors #1 to lose budget to properly realise their features #1 creative department gutted during layoffs

finished Resident Evil 5 for the first time in 15 years and holy hell Resident Evil 6 really is a questionable experience right from the start huh crazy ludological whiplash

Japanese visual novels from the 2000s be like: "did you know... death is sad"

One way you can show Microsoft your concern is here through the XBOX Player Voice feedback platform: feedbackportal.microsoft.com/feedback/ide...

TIL there are some people who wash their fruits and vegetables in their dishwasher and some dishwashers come with a "Fruit" setting. crazy world we live in

xbox firing all the id engineers might be the single funniest evil decision made by a games executive ever thats could potentially somehow be stupider than the 1 billion users a day quote

My best advice for any game devs recently laid off is to keep in touch with your closest coworker friends, do a group call at least once a week, share job postings in the chat, hype each other up, and just generally look out for each other.

In what is becoming a stressful annual routine, Microsoft has decided to lay off thousands, including MANY of us at Bethesda Games Studios. With over 10k developers already cut from previous rounds, those at the top have deemed that insufficient in fixing their mistakes.

Ever since AK started working for Obsidian, there was never a grenade that she didn't try and jump onto to save us all. She's a hard worker, a great writer, and an asset to any dev team.

Jay Turner taught me so so much about writing, companion work, RPGs, and smart dialogue. Whenever we’d get on a call he always brought up points I hadn’t considered in a way that made me a better writer, designer, and person. I loved coordinating on character work together—a real privilege.

I'm very sorry to announce that I was one of the devs affected by the Obsidian layoffs today. At least for four years, it was a beautiful dream. If you need a writer with experience in everything from the fog of war to romance - especially if you're open to remote - please get in touch.

I and a good number of very talented game devs were laid off by Obsidian as part of the Microsoft sacrificial rituals this morning. If you or anyone you know is looking for a Senior Writer/ND with more than two decades' experience in titles like Dragon Age and Mass Effect, please let me know!
