This has tickled me immensely

A year ago, we released #LostRecords. For its first birthday, if it ever inspired you to create something, a drawing, a poem, a song, anything you’d like to reshare, I’d love to see it again. Let’s turn this thread into a little time capsule. It would mean a lot to me.

Women in the games industry already have to put up with a lot, but we shouldn’t have to do it alone. Men in the industry: if you see one of your fellow men doing behaving this way towards a woman at a professional conference, please speak up and tell them to CUT IT OUT.

"GenAI is for poor people and the arts are only for the rich." Holy hell this is on point.

Tried to upload to Patreon a little while back but it refused. 😔 Watched dumb Stranger Things finale. Couldn't stop cackling "wiki-wiki-wild" because of giant wasteland spider. Synced one beat to the action and watched IN HORROR as it continued to match PERFECTLY. I AM COMPELLED TO SHARE THE PAIN.

GOOD TIME TO BE GETTING INTO NAS STORAGE EH?

dialogue lock before feature kickoff is a real place and it can hurt you

The amount of times I sit in a call with a dreamer and their dream game is basically "everything from my favorite six games smashed together into perfect harmony and there was endless flawless content and it has graphics everyone likes" and I have to explain that making feet go on stairs is hard

The article doesnt actually mention them "distancing" themselves from Palantir, only that prompts to give your ID to Persona were "a test, which has concluded" Continue to cancel Nitro and migrate elsewhere

Coming back to Act 3 of Rogue Trader after 6 months away is, I propose, akin to experiencing the after effects of blunt force trauma. Ihavenoideawhatimdoing.gif

The thing about Casablanca being the greatest film of all time is people don't believe you and then they watch it

Red Dwarf started 38 years ago today on BBC Two with the aptly named "The End".

if you asked me to diagnose the western game industry's current problem it would start with "landlords have absorbed basically all disposable income"

Such a wonderful thread

sigh. yep.

i often think about this review

Yep no fuck that even more

In incredible news, the European Parliament has voted overwhelmingly for "The Full Recognition Of Trans Women As Women." Even the center-right European People's Party voted for the declaration. It will form a foundation for their position at the UN Commission on the Status of Women. Our latest.

At what point does the supposed usefulness of GenAI make this sort of headline, about a very reasonable worry from consumer, worth it? (never, the answer is never)

greatest headline of my adult life

I tell you what Bungie still puts out a hell of a trailer.

Bah gawd.

WELL WELL WELL would you look at that 👀 👀 👀

its real...

From my high school I really don't think there's anyone? From Sixth Form though there was Little Boots (had some chart hits in the 2000s, now a band member for the ABBA Voyage thing.

We need unions right fucking now, this shit has got to stop. If I read one more story about a studio laying everyone off right after launch when they don't hit peak Fortnight numbers I'm going to lose it.

I suspect this particular quote will strike a chord:

This is some genuinely psycho shit...

My goodness. Just had a chest x-ray (nothing serious) that came with the princely price tag of... 27 euros. Most of which will be reimbursed through my social security. Love that socialised healthcare.

Love me a good one-and-done season of top notch television. Chernobyl, Watchmen, The Terror (which DEFINITELY only had one season).

📢 Au moins 1200 personnes en grève dans le groupe Ubisoft aujourd'hui ! Les travailleureuses disent non à la stratégie de l'échec de la dynastie Guillemot et oui à la liberté de fabriquer de bons jeux vidéo dans de bonnes conditions. La grève continue demain et après-demain ✊

we need to talk about that Ring Super Bowl ad

“Please enjoy the museum”: Relooted is OUT NOW! Please share!

Today I am on strike.

Modifions ce titre de @lemonde.fr posant le patronat comme une victime alors qu’il se prépare à licencier 200 personnes pour le rendre plus honnête : « Les salarié·es d’Ubisoft sont en grève car confronté·es au licenciement de 200 de leurs collègues par la direction ».

J'en ai parlé dans le dernier train de retard, une grève démarre aujourd'hui chez Ubi et jusqu'à jeudi inclus, en France les médias susceptibles d'en parler et couvrir les piquets sont : @origami.ng @silenceonjoue.bsky.social la rubrique pixel de @lemonde.fr @canardpc.com

For the next 3 days (February 10-11-12th) we in Ubisoft Milan will also be on strike ✊

Tomorrow I'll be striking with my colleagues to build a studio where we all can shine and make the best games! ✊

Today I am on strike.

The thing is he's not pitching this to people who work, he's pitching this to retired people who are furious that other people might get marginally better working conditions than they had.

hit 'em where it hurts!! 🥰✨

hmmmmmmmmmm

excuse me?

Today I watched Fallout, On The Waterfront and Battleship Potemkin and I'm beginning to think a self-elected minority leadership class is a bad idea.

Started a new article series on PC Gamer this weekend, in which I crack open the Steam libraries of developers and feast on the gooey insides. First up is @danthat.bsky.social, who discussed his love for XCOM 2 and got slightly mad at me about Snipping Tool. www.pcgamer.com/gaming-indus...

Back on it and I am still not enjoying Fallout season 2.
