Glad everyone is stoked with the numbers but boy... This is one of the most game designers games I've played in a while. Don't sleep on it, even if it's a slow burn. Well worth it.

I have been in Dublin now for 8 weeks, and while I wait for Ireland's slow system to process my visa, I have been working on a new profile page to show off some of the projects I have been working on. Please have a look! Love you all portfolio-ben-naulls.web.app?id=bluesky

From everything I heard the vibe at PlaySide was "Mouse P.I. For Hire has to sell well." I hope everyone there is breathing a sigh of relief. www.eurogamer.net/mouse-pi-for...

Thrilled to once again be partnering with Summer Game Fest to expand the global reach of more ANZ made games, cannot wait for you to see the incredible showcase we have in the works on June 7! 📅💞

Having been working at a tech startup for a few months there's a real lack of curiosity in the air. When I ask questions from professionals about how to do something there's a look that is explicitly "Just ask AI?" or "What did AI say?" and "Why are you bothering a human being with this?"

If one were get denied an annual leave request what even is the recourse? Mate's eurotrip for two months just got denied and my best advice was 'make their life hell so they lay you off just prior to your departure'...

Imagine for a second this guy is a Product Manager. "I think it's now? I think we've acheived AGI? Kinda?" A friendly reminder that Elon first predicted fully autonomous cars would be released in 2016.

Where's the market for a $5500 NVIDIA 6090 that's going to be able to do this? It's laser targeted to normies who don't turn off smoothing on their TV. BTW the demo from DF was running on two 5090s btw. "We aim to get this all running on one GPU that we will sell you for a kidney"

underrated post

Back when GDC's rebranded to the GDC Festival of Gaming I saw a lot of backlash, frustration that echoed a sense of watering down what GDC was about - people making games. Was the concern warranted? Everything I've seen it's another GDC with a new lick of paint. I hope the vibes are still good.

I just backed CONTINUE: A Defiant, New Videogames Magazine on @kickstarter.com www.kickstarter.com/projects/con...

hello hive mind. I just got a new P2S 3D printer - what should I do? I made the test print of the boat and my daughter lost her mind.

Hey Google, I just think it's funny how you said No Additional Cost when two weeks ago you increased my subscription by $20 a month. kinda dick behaviour

Not all of Crabmeat is scary. Sometimes it's just a vibe (SOUND ON ) #screenshotsaturday

How hard is it to get a copy of Maya nowadays? Is there an older version that's free? A cheap student version? I just want to tinker around in #3D and build stuff for #3Dprinting but don't have the time and patience to learn blender (see my almost two year old).

My wife: “If you wake up and you’re alone, it’s ok. Mummy and daddy are so close.” My daughter: “And I will wake up, and I will cry” Mate, you're not even two yet.

Someone at work asked if I used AI to make a motion graphics video I spent a few hours keyframing. All I could say was "I raw dogged it" and hot damn. Calling something I did without AI raw dogging it might be my favourite.

Having a marketing new job that requires me to use X with regularity has dramatically increased the number of times I throw up in my mouth. The costs for anything 'official' are astronomical. Analytics for a pro account only go back one year? Their store has a 'retro' shirt that looks like twitter.

Some alternate universe it’s called Microsoft Cortana

you get a week off of work for christmas and I’m supposed to be relaxed after that?

Maybe it’s just because I have a kid now but … do you reckon Santa is in the Epstein files?

@edzitron.com I’m assuming you’ve seen the lad who made AI integrated product placement for the xAI hackathon and won? Just all kinds of fresh hell. x.com/yuviecodes/s...

Keeping the games industry alive, one new release at a time

But, what if parents just moderated their kids content themselves? What if the ausgov made these socials media moderate themselves properly!? What if the social platforms took their moderation seriously themselves?!!

My soul needed some Skate Story tonight.

Ah the Carwyn Cellars Beer Advent Calendar rarely disappoints. The Pavlova beer was a huge highlight for taste and aesthetic. The Hazy DIPA is probably #1 so far.

I was unemployed for 7 months, every week I would see another project cancelled or studio shut down and think “well, fuck, that’s another 6-12 producers added to the group of us looking, applying to maybe 1-3 quality jobs available” and it sucked. It doesn’t reflect any of our skills or drive.

This ruled.

Hey can every PC game have graphics settings preset called "Whatever Digital Foundry recommended"?

Do you know a relatively well seasoned Community Manager looking for work? Does this person like shit posting, understands charities, can corporate speak AND has experience in marketing technology? Probably not, but hey I'd take one or two of them? Reach out! I am looking to hire someone soon.

I can’t believe there aren’t more Rouge-like sports games. Seriously, make it through the rankings. Players get certain abilities. Negative traits and positive traits from weather or team relationships. Tape to Tape style but for every sport. Ah, if EA weren’t so busy making micro iterations.

Asura's Wrath is $2.99 on XBL buff.ly/4evTwSA

The most infuriating thing anyone can do in 2025 is start a new job that uses Google Workplace. PDF, photoshop, sheets, docs, Gmail, slides, composing an email, filling a table row, making a new slide - I have become a pro at telling AI to fuck right off.

He just really likes big beautiful bills.

First Clinton, now this? Good for him

Every time my 2yo makes up words or ideas I’ve started calling them hallucinations.

realizing Ambrosia Sky comes out in like two weeks and i'm going to have to write patch notes for the first time since Dauntless

friend shared this, immediately updated my settings

The huntsman I found, I had thought, took a rock all the way up to the ceiling. But it's an egg sac! What a cutey.

More budget went into this video than any speaker was paid
