Someone born in 1940 predates boomers.

They really need to make that WW2 prequel. It was alluded to in the original film. Murray: It's the same gremlins that brought down our planes in the big one. Kate: [laughing] The big one... Murray: [turning around] that's right! World war two. Good old WWII.

pass it on in gamedev circles. the notGDC Festival of Gaming by informa annual survey is here; gdconf.typeform.com/SOTI26 I know we had a questions and concerns in the past but even with that being the case still, the survey results will have an impact, like it or not, so participation has impact.

There is no rule saying your movie poster has to be floating head trash - Don't negotiate graphic design into your casting contracts and liberate your marketing team to do some actually cool shit.

Hey is there a thread with all the receipts of people saying they were going to leave the city now? If not, pls reply to this with some of your favs.

Watching someone talk about how they're happy for one area to get a fresh politician who wants to make changes, but sad that they're stuck with the same old ones in the area they live. No. You're NOT stuck with them. Get up and take action to make a change. Where it does happen its through WORK.

After all, why shouldn't I enter every meeting today to this tune playing?

Alright, have those useless losers resigned yet?

Not to alarm anyone but I've now tracked more than 600 games industry layoff waves since the start of 2021. the total known waves in 2025 is now higher than that of 2024

If I was on your marketing team I might advise that if you want to send a newsletter out to promote content "In celebration of Halloween" that November 3 might not be the ideal timing. IDK that's just me.

if we agree that you will give me something by "EOD Tomorrow", [when] will I get it?

Its okay to judge people for the choices they make and the actions they take. That's exactly what you should be judging them on.

This is now my ringtone for anybody from Quebec.

With October coming to a close things really escallated quickly. We now know of so many games industry layoff waves in 2025 that we're only one short of matching 2024, and we have two months still to go.

Okay hear me out. Spider-Man's costume is supposed to be red and black. Blue is only used as an artistic conceit for the medium of comics to illustrate highlights.

You ever wonder what Joey Ramone would have to say about Maria Bartiromo if he were still alive today?

Happy #Halloween! We know so many of you are excited for candy 👻 🍫 If you’re driving tonight, remember to slow down around residential areas, look out for trick-or-treaters, & avoid distractions such as your mobile device. Parents: consider adding reflective tape to costumes to increase visibility!

The Atari 2600 came out in 1977 The Xbox came out in 2001 (24 years later) 2001 was 24 years ago

Holy shit Bahubali is back for a director's cut? Nobody told me! If you haven't seen it, you should. www.youtube.com/watch?v=fCUP...

Yes its absolutely possible to have a viable competitor with Steam that can exist along side it, taking enough of its market share to be viable. It would take time and a solid real-world understanding of the market landscape. You'd have to know things like that Goliath didn't beat David for example.

Its weird to me how we seem to be in the peak era for monsterfuckers, but yet whoever* owns the license rights to Alien, with it being based on the art of H.R. Giger has had the courage to do what looking at his portfolio would appear to be the most obvious thing in the world. (*Disney)

I thought I'd branch off from what @diveamydive.bsky.social is talking about here to give the perspective from a dev team who might hire that agency, or other consultants like them, as I've been involved with multiple in the past. 🧵

remember, Acme vs Coyote was finished several years ago, and still isn't out. Investors may struggle with the production time on games, saying they want quicker returns and sure, there may be some validity there. But they can clearly wait a few years when they want to.

If anybody knows which studios/divisions at Amazon are being hit with layoffs, please LMK. I know that Twitch and Amazon Games Orange Country got hit but I'm sure there are others. I'm simply trying to list them.

I will say it again. I will say it again; "rawdog" and "money shot" are expressions that do not belong in a workplace context unless you're working in the sex industry.

As an experienced marketing communications professional I can tell you, P.T. Barnum really fucked a lot of people up with this quote. It has caused so much wrong. So much brainrot. There IS in fact such a thing as bad publicity. "At least people are talking about us" is dumb and bad and wrong. No.

Who amongst you is into event organizing? I could use some advice. I'm considering holding an event and would like to find a way that people can register their interest before i have all the details, so I can get an idea of numbers and plan said details around that. What would be a good move here?

Alright chat, whats the last inanimate object you apologized to?

Once when considering an offer to join a studio to build their marketing & communications team, I asked them directly how they felt about Nazis. Specifically were they cool with me telling Nazis to fuck off, even if it meant lost sales. They agreed instantly but gave me a concerned, inquisitive look

Name a time that increasing productivity or value for shareholders at your workplace directly benefitted you.

"wow they got old" says person who also aged the same amount during that shared duration of time in which they both got old.

Its not funny that your digestive system can't handle normal food. Its also not a universal experience. When you try to make jokes about it, the food isn't the punchline as you intend. In fact it often seems somewhat suspect when you do this. Instead the punchline is (if anything) you.

"Opinion" columns do not absolve a publisher from having published the opinions they contain, by choice and by action.

This video is great and more games should publish content like this, showing how the game evolves over development, especially games that hybridize known mechanics. www.youtube.com/watch?v=_9cU...

Hey chat, am I interpreting this image right? Are all these dudes about to kiss?

The way to bring a lot of companies to their knees quickly is for large groups of people to file GDPR requests at the same time. The companies will have obligations that kick in when that happens, and most are unprepared for this, which will become a big problem very quickly with real consequences
