Tired. But here we are again. Change your settings.

Remember when MS bought Activision/Blizzard and there were hundreds of articles talking about how it would be great for everyone, actually? And that we all needed to shut up about it? Yeah this is exactly what people worried about. Another dark day in what feels endless.

Another Starfox game is here. I'm a bit of a fan. Really unenthusiastic about another 64 remake, but it's cool to see the excitement around the series again. Onward and upward.

Bungie with huge layoffs today. The tragedy of the game industry continues. You'd think given the volume of layoffs for the past few years, that people just don't play games anymore. Thats simply not true. Execs just demand more unreasonable amounts of profit.

1 week left to fund this www.kickstarter.com/projects/cag... They hit their first goal, but that get gets them to a quick early access. Much, much more they can do instead!

Hey internet, a bunch of other game dev buddies of mine just put a kickstarter up for their absolutely killer new racing game: www.kickstarter.com/projects/cag... It takes wild arcade racing to truly next level stuff. And there's a free demo you can play! It rules. Racing fans: grab it.

Love to see these quotes being said on live television. A lot of us have been saying it, but here it is on a major network. Extra bonus that it comes from the currently most successful horror movie debut director: Kane Parsons, with Backrooms.

Fyi the cupcake character is one created by Loryn Brantz, who has this to say about Buzzfeed using it without her permission.

A few weeks ago I got hit with a similar hack to all these. Screenshot attached. It was from a dev discord account I interviewed with 4 years ago. As I just got a ton of devs now following me (thanks!) this is your warning: DO NOT download any demo unless you speak to the person directly to confirm.

If you have a Creative Cloud subscription, they created "Creative Cloud Pro" for AI usage- more expensive than standard- and added you automatically. check your subscriptions immediately. And even after you catch it, it's massively obscured on how to fix it. So I made a guide. Should be illegal

Not only is it cool to see the kids making Anti-AI songs, but this song ACTUALLY RULES Fight the power! 🤘

Hack update: -Discord accounts and affected servers all frozen (pending recovery) -gmail account frozen, google refusing to return the email because the hacker changed my birthday to reflect "child" status" even though they have determined the email was hacked. -computer reformatted. back to it.

As a follow-up from yesterday: if anyone here knows somebody at @discord.com , I need to speak to an actual human. The help bot will not provide any help, and multiple people have now been compromised with multiple servers having to go down because of it. Long shot, but worth a try!

ATTENTION: my discord was hacked (they were posing as an indie Dev and had an entire fake website full of fake videos, go figure). If we're friends on there, please don't accept any links from my name asking you to help test a game. As if I needed more reasons to hate AI.

Grip XR's demo is now out, you can check it out for free! store.steampowered.com/app/4475750/... Kickstarter in a few weeks, but this is what they made *without* that. It's already on it's way. Share it with anyone who wants some old school arcade intense racing with a brand new creative twist!

The anthem needed right now

Dina Babbit Liberation day My partner's grandmother was Dina Babbit, a Holocaust survivor who went on to become a famous artist in her own right. It's an amazing story: alinefromlinda.blogspot.com/2013/05/snow... she loved cartoon dogs, so here is a little tribute with sharpies. Cheers, Dina.

Tomorrow is a general strike in the US if you can do it Economic pain is the only language they will understand No work No school No shopping generalstrikeus.com

youtu.be/YO--FE2Vna8?... years ago there was a wild racing game called "GRIP", a spiritual successor to Rollcage Now they're back with a new idea: With a press of a button the car "cranks" 90 degrees to the left or right. This leads to some absolutely wild track design.

Made a #MayDayStrong zine! Here's what we're all doing on Friday, May 1, 2026, friends -- and why! Check out the zine in this thread and check out maydaystrong.org for events near you!

yo dawg I heard you hated AI so I put AI in your AI so people can't tell it's AI Progress!

Happy Monday. Today we're making a few updates/announcements. First up: our nonprofit ETCH is alive on the web. etch-humanity.org ETCH: Ethical Technology and Computing for Humanity. ETCH is not another AI nonprofit. It is a nonprofit that explicitly prioritizes people over AI.

Instantly this new CEO makes his mark as being an instant reviled POS. What a way to start. Can't go a day anymore without some insane money hoarding move from the billionaire (Epstien) class. So sickening.

Mia is taking the name "mouse" a bit too seriously.

thehill.com/homenews/adm... Stopped for now. There is no reason we should continue to tolerate this. It's not a fucking game. He and his entire gang of monsters needs to be removed. Peroid.

It may feel futile but you should contact any republican offices today and demand they do something to stop Trump and his genocidal threats against Iran. Phones should be going non stop. Offices should have thousands of people in front of them. If ever there was a time to be loud, it's now.

Yep.

Love to draw a rocket, and what better time than now? I keep doing variations on this one, it's a really fun thing for me. here is SPARK 3, an experiment mixing scribbles, halftones, crunchy pixels and paint. 🖼️🚀 print for your spacebase? www.inprnt.com/gallery/carl... #space #rocket

Another round of good news today, this dropped: youtu.be/d75ov4HvRrM?... And if watching world class musicians having the time of their lives playing this doesn't brighten your day a little... check your pulse!

The funniest and best news of the day: variety.com/2026/digital... 3 months ago this thing was the death of Hollywood. They inked to deal with Disney for $1 billion dollars. None of that's happening. I thought this was supposed to be the future? Technically 3 months is the future I guess. 😆

This guy used to run a magazine called "game developer". He's always been on the side of the devs. This is the best answer.

I finally lost my shit about so-called AIs, LLMs, enshittification & everything fucking evil that @officialgrammarly.bsky.social is doing. I'm fucking furious, and not just about what 1 company has done. An open letter to Grammarly & the rest of the LLM hype machine www.moryan.com/an-open-lett...

I want to introduce you all to something myself and @jacksonwryan.com have been working on. A PRINT MAGAZINE about video games and video game culture. We know things have been bad for games writing recently. We're asking, "do you want to Continue?" www.kickstarter.com/projects/con...

We want to build a platform for existing and emerging writers and illustrators to do their absolute best work. We want to create THE best possible magazine. We already have incredible people lined up. But we want you to get involved too. WILL YOU CONTINUE?!!

I hit the text limit on making a post. But as GDC arrives in SF again, I want to put this one out there, so it is in screenshot format. I no longer live in SF but I'll be up Wed and Thursday to see people. Cheers!

Lightning Kick: A Women-led Street Fighter II Album is now available for purchase on #Bandcamp as a digital download! gamegrooves.bandcamp.com/album/lightn... Album art by: @lizzrobinett.com #sf2 #streetfighter #streetfighter2 #streetfighterii

www.youtube.com/watch?v=G8da... AC show from @thetiberiansons.bsky.social featuring Videri String Quartet, @thegamebrass.com, @dompalombimusic.bsky.social and MANY others is now live! Strap in. It's a full 1.5 hour cinematic masterpiece.

It's (almost) time. Tony has been cranking on this since Magfest. The mix is outstanding, the edit captures all the energy. Even if you were in the room, it will knock your socks off.

Boycott Open AI is trending right now because of the gov deal. But Anthropic powers Palantir who powers ICE. Grok is Musk, Copilot is Chat CPT, Meta is Zuck, Gemini is Google, Deepseek is china. It's ALL BAD, folks. You want to boycott? Stop using all of it. Disconnect. Make a real difference.

Me after being forced into an all nighter on a project thats been a nightmare for 2 months of mostly 12 hour days before this:

living in the 2020’s

I'm so fucking sick of my country. Fuck you Trump. Fuck you anyone who supports this. WE USED TO HAVE RULES FOR THIS SHIT. WHERE ARE THEY??

Arkadian set online for you to rock out with 🤘

decrypt.co/358849/human... This psycho is trying to sell people on the idea that humans are actually worthless to justify the cost of the needed data centers. This is the guy we're handing the keys to out future to? Everyone cool with that? You guys still love your chat GPT?

Happy Zelda 40th anniversary!

youtu.be/VKEpp4U-NjE?... Tony Dickinson is still hard at work on the AC live magfest video, but him and @thetiberiansons.bsky.social guys put together this in the interim.

Tomorrow is a National shutdown and there are bound to be protests. I didn't have time to get this printed, but if I were to bring a sign, it would be this. Fuck ICE. End them. nationalshutdown.org

This hasn't been making the rounds much, but if you can, don't work or shop on Friday: nationalshutdown.org Minneapolis did this not long ago at a local level, which is where all the massive protest footage you saw, was from. Doing it country wide is the next important step.
