I think if you needed any more evidence that the cuts are shortsighted and focused on cutting as deep and as fast as possible with little regard for the future, this is pretty definitive. That engine felt like magic in some spots. A colossal waste of talent and resources.

bro they laid off the Doom 2016 developers. that's like if you laid off the studio that made arguably one of the best first-person shooters of all time, like Doom 2016

"Reel paralysis" Tip: 1.take all your shots that are remotely worth being on a reel, number them, and make one really long video 2.Send that video to friends and have them write down their favorite ones 3. All those lists are going to have a really big overlap, and that's your reel

I’m not flaming, I’m just saying…

You don't need a polysci class You need to play Final fantasy tactics

Two researchers — one in Massachusetts and one in Shanghai — hoped for the same breakthrough: a gene therapy for deaf children. New Chinese investment in science propelled the one who got there first. n.pr/4weVi49

I miss my players. I miss advocating for their concerns and making sure dev teams understand the issues they face. I miss working behind the scenes to make sure my players were properly protected and safe when using our programs. I miss when game companies actually saw their players as people.

I COME FROM THE NET!

A tremendous loneliness comes over you. Everybody in the world is doing something without you.

It will never stop being funny to me that the street fighter subreddit has a much better, well reasoned ai policy vis a vis literally all universities.

The most insidious thing about "run government like a business" is the efficiency bull. Yes, good government is, by design, inefficient. That is a cost. But what does that cost get you? Transparency, multiple electeds fighting one another over policy, a public process.

Penske absolutely uses its oversized power in media to kill critical reporting, I speak from experience, this is all so fucking bad

BREAKING: Rockstar has been dealt a blow in its legal battle against workers who claim they were fired for unionising. A UK employment tribunal has upheld the right of union workers to bring blacklisting claims against the studio at the final trial, which will begin on September 10.

This might be one of the most insane scandals in game history When Pokemon Go players scan PokeStops, theyve been unknowingly building a detailed visual model of the world which is being sold to a military contractor to build a no-GPS positioning for the new generation of unmanned killing machines

Here's the full article for those interested. Insanely bleak stuff, I don't think I'll ever be able to look at the Pokemon franchise the same way again dronexl.co/2026/06/09/p...

The CIA doesn't even try any more. They just stare at you like this.

What's the secret to Final Fantasy VII Revelation only taking three years to make? A consistent vision and retaining 95% of their staff. I spoke to director Naoki Hamaguchi about Revelation's development, what he's doing next (no more remakes!), and much more. www.bloomberg.com/news/newslet...

I can't believe how much Spec Ops: The Line *shook* me. Some points in that game are so poignant right now holy fuck.

Spent 5 hours power washing the deck in the heat so we can stain it because the HOA is pitching a fit Fuck HOAs

Let's check in on how Epic Games is doing after laying off more than 1,000 people in March

Last year, miHoYo copied my puzzle game Ouros in Zenless Zone Zero. Because they are a recognized, billion-dollar studio and my game isn't well known, some people are now assuming that their version is the original, and mine is the clone. I hope this video clears that up.

Samsung Electronics workers have approved a landmark profit-sharing agreement that is expected to award employees in the booming memory chip division an average bonus of nearly $400,000.

Love this for them #subnautica #videogames #gaming

The money you put into libraries, parks, schools, and museums you get back a thousandfold. Without indulging cliches about social class, it literally raises the conversation. You’ve got people wondering about van Gogh’s colors instead of ranting and complaining. We all see this in our own lives

South Korean game company Krafton (PUBG) just disclosed that 46 babies were born to employees in 2026, up from 23 in the same period last year, after it introduced a 100 million won ($65k) bonus for each child born. Interesting.

Mulan is one of Disney’s best-designed films. For that, you can thank Chen-Yi Chang. He was the character designer, and he put an amazing amount of care and research into his work. It lifted the whole team, as we explore: animationobsessive.substack.com/p/the-charac...

A nasal spray with nanotech that crosses the blood-brain barrier after stroke that can be used at home or on the way to the ER to minimize damage. Wow. China seems to have a lot of nice things. You'd think we could, too.

Gerrymandering has been a fatal flaw in our democracy for a long, long time but to see it being perused to nakedly and cynically in the last year has been really jarring. Other countries have non-partisan bureaucrats draw maps, but for some dumb reason the US gives that power to elected officials.

In South Korea, some video game companies have filed complaints & lawsuits against YouTubers that have purposefully spread misinformation. In China, the government ran a clean up campaign to curb review bombing / fan wars between gaming communities. A growing concern globally it seems.

My preferred AI metaphor is actually Asbestos. - Seemingly magical properties - Developed and experimented with to make endless products - Poisoned countless communities in it's creation - Everything it was used for eventually becomes a toxic hazard to mitigate & it's in the fucking walls now

Why would Chinese cars do this?

South Korean prosecutors are requesting a 30-year prison term for ousted President Yoon Suk Yeol.

just read trump's racist diatribe against asians. i don't know how asian conservatives stand by this man. supporting someone who insults your family — your parents — that way is crazy to me. out of your mind.

The simple answer is that Asian conservatives and Western conservatives hate the same out groups, but the former truly believes that Western conservatives won’t consider them part of the out groups if they “integrate” enough. But they do and they always get thrown under the bus.

Selling my car to take care of debt. No job application responses. Scientifically proven studies showing the benefits of the COVlD vaccine aren't being published by the CDC because educating the masses and keeping them healthy is dangerous.

They're calling it the best democracy ever. www.ft.com/content/7529...

Thr South Korean president criticized Israel, Israel got super mad about the mention of the Holocaust, and not the far worse reference. The president compared them to imperial Japan, which is like the worst thing a Korean can call anyone or anything www.theverge.com/policy/91358...
