Ouch. One down again. Metal Hellsinger was such a surprise gem. It was made so clearly with love, and it showed through and through when you played it. I guess that's something corporate disasters can't kill.

This is why we fund scientists to study things like oyster slobber even if you don’t think it sounds important

I can't recommend Dwarf Fortress and Caves of Qud enough. Both are truly efforts of people who love games and it shows.

before you say “well losing EA is no big loss” 1. shut the fuck up 2. people have families to feed 3. games such as hades only exist because the studio cofounders met while they were at EA. studios that make games you don’t like are still enormous institutions of gamedev experience and knowledge

Now this is the proper technological advancement we should have always aimed for! Conspiracy weirdos would have never ventured outside Usenet and everything would be nice

Stand-ups can feel that way sometimes. #gamedev #indiedev #projectmanagement

I eyerolled so hard I pulled the weirdest muscle

following charlie kirk's death and the right's open embrace of cancel culture, the gamergate 2.0 mob has kicked its efforts into overdrive, targeting dozens of devs and personalities. this has resulted in an avalanche of harassment, but relatively few firings compared to the 100+ in other sectors

Are you or someone you know skipping GDC (or considering doing so) because of worries about coming to the US/San Francisco in the current environment? If so, I want to hear from you for a piece. DM me here or kyle DOT orland AT arstechnica DOT com. Please spread the word

RIP Robert Redford. World just lost a few metric tons of charisma embodied in one person.

I think this point is far more important than we realize. The fact that we consume completely different media showing us completely different things is a huge driver of division.

What really needs to be banned are social media algorithms. This is just telling kids they can't have digital crack cocaine until they're 16.

A notice to the #wargaming, #miniatures & #ttrpg community: Red Box Games has decided they don't want our business. Thank you, Ian, for sharing this. #warhammer #40k #aos #nerdlings #turnip28 #1490doom #trenchcrusade #dnd #pathfinder #tabletop

Like a saying here goes.. ... a threat or a chance?

Some people have trouble interpreting abstract art. For example, many men can't see Mary's head in the design of this statue.

YES NEED

RUNE

very direct evidence that video game piracy is important in the preservation of video games

It’s my birthday! 🎉 May I be so bold as to ask to share my art? Below I’m going to drop some links (ko-fi tip jar, portrait commissions, contact for freelance) as all kinds of support are incredibly appreciated in these trying times! 💖

*chefs kiss*

Oh man. Sisu 2 (Si2u?) trailer really cooks. Looks like we're getting a very worthy sequel to the legend. :D www.youtube.com/watch?v=VmSt...

FUCK YEAH SCIENCE arstechnica.com/science/2025...

Well this is it. I was let go from Crystal Dynamics as Perfect Dark was cancelled. I am now out of a job. I genuinely dont know what to do at this moment but to frantically apply for as many jobs that are applicable. If anyone needs a Senior Environment Artist of 10+ years, please let me know.

Midnight dreams 🐕

This is a pretty good bit

You wake up in your nest. It was all a dream; you have no idea what a “shitpost” is. As the concept of a “banger” fades from your mind, you look at your brood mate. It's 150,000 BC; you're a Silurian Lizard Person. It's time to build the pyramids.

Tell me you know nothing at all about the demoscene without saying you know nothing about the demoscene, because WOW — talk about utter ignorance..

NICE

I see a lot of people promoting their gaming podcasts on here, and week after week, it's always men chatting to other men. invite a woman onto your podcast ffs!!!! if your instinct is that there are no women that you consider peers in the industry, then maybe it's time to think about why that is!

I'm waiting!

Stripe says it’s accepting payments for LGBTQ content JVA site starts working with Visa again Mastercard reportedly panicking and making Riot moderate messages The tide is turning We are going to win this Keep calling Keep writing Keep fighting You can do this

I think everyone should be paying attention to what payment processors are doing to independent game developers right now. Games have been the testbed for a lot of the shittiest ideas going right now and you better believe this effort will broaden its goals quickly

Love to see this. Would love to see the sync calls between upper management, too

Hnng I really want to replay Space Quests

Holy shit that last sentence got me. What a framing.
