I NEED to join this team

I might be living off my savings at the moment, but I'm not going to pass up new merchandise for the GOAT FF

Yeah, I saw Weapons.

I'VE HAD ANOTHER IDEA FOR A PICROSS GAME! Now I just need some money.

Underwhelmed by the Nintendo Direct? Better get used to it, because this is the tip of the iceberg. When the real effects of the last 18 months of project cancellations and layoffs come home to roost next year, it's going to be way worse. Hope you like remasters!

I've updated my website / portfolio! 2dforever.com Now with 220% more animations (of which you can toggle off!) I am looking for work, so please have a look and let me know if I seem like a good fit for your project :)

I made the mistake of playing Umamusume... and now I'm addicted. But there's some interesting narrative design here so, uh... it's research, right?

This is absolute, grade-A, no-impurity nightmare fuel. www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle...

Got a heads up from a friend in Indiana: my book was removed from her school because it features a trans character. But … it’s a nonfiction book. She’s not a character. She’s a person. These lies, these wars, obscure the truth, and the humanity, and get what in exchange? Nothing but ignorance

fantastic fourskin

Finally got around to finishing Gundam GQuuuuuuX. What a turnaround - those last six episodes were a compelling mash-up of Gundam and Evangelion. Just a shame that a) the first six were so aimless and b) it requires knowing the story of a cartoon series from the 70s to have the proper impact.

It’s very much this post from @louisstaples.bsky.social today

If I had to choose between risotto and flamingos it would OBVIOUSLY be flamingos. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Not at Develop because *gestures to the burning building around me* but I wish everyone there the best of times. Don't do anything I would do!

Happy 25th anniversary to Final Fantasy IX, aka the best Final Fantasy. Cute, poignant, funny - the last to truly have it all. Quina Quen will always be my idol.

It's almost two years since I was part of the Epic cuts - which was one of the first big ones of this 'wave' Nearly TWO YEARS LATER and it hasn't stopped. I'm losing the last slivers of hope that I had for a future in this industry.

Quite the phrasing from the Hastings Pirate Festival Facebook today.

SELF-PROMOTION TIME as I'm still looking for job opportunities / gigs 😅! I'm a multi-award (nominated) game writer, designer and game director with 15 years experience. I can do writing, narrative design, game design, technical implementation (Unity, Unreal, Godot) and more! www.edfear.co.uk

It's so weird that incels look to alt-right people like Andrew Tate for advice on how to get the ladies, when there's absolute certified panty-droppers like Zohran Mamdani unleashing fountains of rizz all over the place.

Been suffering with a bit of the ol' depression this week, so to cheer myself up, I'm going to watch The End of Evangelion in a cinema tonight!

NEW: EA CEO Andrew Wilson was paid $30.5 million in cash and stock this past year, up about $5m from a year ago Since the U.S. requires companies to compare CEO pay to employee pay, I made an EA pay chart To make it work, I had to make it VERY TALL Take a look: www.gamefile.news/p/ea-ceo-and...

Too depressed to go to Develop this year~

On Hideo Kojima’s strange, anxious, grief-stricken science fiction game, which contemplates how our digital interactions are no substitute for the stuff of physical existence — and risk hollowing out both ourselves, and our communities: www.theatlantic.com/technology/a...

I've just finished my THIRD self-help book this year. At this rate I'll be an Übermensch by September! [not the nazi one]

Those areas are: the face, the hips, the ankles, the uvula, the scrotum, the funny bone, the upper lip, the earlobes, the rectum.

Make Developers Jobless Again

I asked Okosan to wear vivid orange pigeon pants when she wanted to perch on Cintiq. She never liked it though. Real men fight in the nude, you know.

But look, this company is just the tip of the iceberg. It's a recruiters market right now. Last year one company put me through SIX INTERVIEWS and a SIX HOUR test and then told me "they just couldn't decide whether to hire me or not" (literally their words) I rescinded my application that instant.

If I made all my money off complex games narratives, I simply wouldn’t systematically annoy every writer and narrative designer in the industry 🤷

I love how every narrative person in the games industry knows exactly who this is.

It's already 33°C in my front room 😭

I'm training to be a creativity coach! I've kind of become obsessed with creativity over the past year; how some people can just spew out idea after idea, while other people like me struggle to be creative if I'm not being paid to be. Turns out creativity is a really interesting (and deep) subject!

I need this! 15 years in the industry and this is maybe the second or third game that I've ever worked on that's had a physical edition.

It's nice to know that, even after five years and modest success, Murder by Numbers can still inspire people to create pornography. Truly, the only legacy I desire.

oh no this looks incredible I'm going to have to buy it. MbN fans, get on it!

The original Creator and Director of Final Fantasy Tactics, Yasumi Matsuno, shared a message with the fans about the new game!

I'm watching cat tv stoned (with a cat so it's okay) anyway the state of play was woke

This State of Unreal AI stuff is *bad*. I'm not against AI - AI will be super useful in creation - but it is not a replacement for writers and actors, as Epic seem to think. Their demo was completely soulless, atrociously written, and it couldn't even read it out properly. STOP WASTING TIME ON THIS!

i’m here you fuckaas bitch

Sometimes I wonder if I'd be able to completely relate to anyone who didn't grow up with the culture of Eurovision.

Enjoying Eurovision this year from the outskirts of Amsterdam. Happy gay Christmas, one and all.

Say what you want about Kojima, I am SO READY for Death Stranding 2

Another two friends lost their games industry jobs in the past two days. I just don't know what to do any more. Studios are increasingly volatile places to work, and indie publishers only want to fund games that are nearly finished. Where's the middle ground? Neither path is sustainable.

A cop legally has to tell you what their favourite Catherine Zeta-Jones movie is, otherwise it’s Entrapment (1999)

May your timeline be blessed by Bebe.

Women's appearance and behaviour is about to get even more highly policed in the UK, with a few people doubtless being emboldened to "take action". This whole billionaire-funded enterprise dials back gender equity by decades.

“biological sex” should refer only to having sex in a lab, knocking over microscopes and shit, contaminating every surface while scientists watch you and take notes
