Never played Black Flag before but man what a treat of a game Resynched is.

CEO Reveals How He Used AI To Build One-Person Company That's $1.3 Billion In Debt

"The medium is the message. If you touch it you're cooked." GenAI is a reputation killer. No one wants it. Everyone hates it.

We should invent a kind of canceling where the guy goes away

So, um... ‘happy’ sixth birthday, Nazi Bar Parable

So in the space of less than a month, two of the most venerated studios in the history of our medium, id Software and Bungie, both of whom just put out games that were critical successes, have been completely gutted by c-suite execs. There aren't even words, really

for my non uk friends, what's happened is the fascist leader has resigned his seat as an mp just to run for it again in order to dodge investigations + seek attention other parties arent falling for the stunt so arent running against him, so his only opponent will be a man with a bin on his head

Me in my apartment when it's 40 fucking degrees out

"Dracula is king of Britain" is one hell of a fucking pitch.

Losing my mind at this Murder, She Wrote promo

what a fucking asshole

Saying you're the "most physically attacked" MP when two MPs have been killed in the last decade is just horribly self-absorbed.

I don't know what this means but I'm feeling something good over here chaps

That last re-post remains the absolute best (worst) behind the scenes exposure of CEO corpo brain out there. "If you really wanna go run a start-up, quit and go run a start-up." Abhorrent.

just thankful that double fine no longer has to put up with this

I'm very sorry to announce that I was one of the devs affected by the Obsidian layoffs today. At least for four years, it was a beautiful dream. If you need a writer with experience in everything from the fog of war to romance - especially if you're open to remote - please get in touch.

So, just to be clear, Asha wants 12% of the POPULATION OF THE WORLD to be on Xbox every day?? In this economy?? When Xbox hasn't even sold 200 million units across all generations? This is just embarrassing 🫠

Soojin is a brilliant and adaptable artist. Did you love the look of Pentiment? They were responsible for a ton of it. Out of the many, many ways they left their mark on that game, though, my favorites have to be the Landsknecht playing cards and story-time with Brother Sebhat.

Katie joined Avowed and immediately started writing some of the funniest stuff in the game. If you liked Yatzli, Tira Nui Hajime, "The Wasteland Courier" quest—you liked Katie's work.

I really appreciate the headline here. I think studies need to be done on the CEO brain, do they think we're all very stupid, or do they have no grasp of reality at all? My bet is on a mix of both.

Normalise headlines that accurately handle the absurdity of public statements.

I and a good number of very talented game devs were laid off by Obsidian as part of the Microsoft sacrificial rituals this morning. If you or anyone you know is looking for a Senior Writer/ND with more than two decades' experience in titles like Dragon Age and Mass Effect, please let me know!

Looking for work</3

Obsidian lost many excellent developers and wonderful people today. If you see them on your feed, please share their posts and celebrate their work.

Hard to know what to say about the games industry news any more. It's just so relentlessly sad.

blogged it aftermath.site/microsoft-xb...

The game industry is so fucking back

The funniest internal corpo marketing video I've *ever* seen had the same "ONE BILLION PLAYERS!" goal and was released as the franchise it was promoting face-planted itself almost out of existence. Just saying.

MS have been extremely smart [derogatory] in the dissemination of these layoffs. "No studios closed!" No, but instead: studios ripped apart, collective expertise decimated, generational workflows erased.

I don't think anyone is really capable of comprehending the number of people who will never work in games again. It's a generational loss that will never recover.

I think this might be one of the most incredible, unsettling and symbolic photos of today’s America I’ve ever seen. I can’t stop looking at it. From Reuters, published on the Guardian website.

Just adding up the layoffs from today is putting collective centuries of experience in AAA dev out on the street. It's not just one person's career, but teams who've worked well together. A lot of this experience can't be copied by hiring different people. None of it can be copied using GenAI.

Oh my god PLEASE. Braverman is so uniquely unlocked by... everyone this would surely be the end of any fucking Reform threat. (I assume, who the fuck knows in this day and age)

This might be the most blatant example in existence of "rich guy who created a problem attempting to place the blame for that problem on immigrants"

They tell me I’m uncultured, but I’ll always recognise a bit of Beethoven.

Someone had to do it

I have such an expertly curated algorithm that I'm seeing posts from Mexican street food restaurants in the US and this is how they're advertising the game tomorrow night. "Good vibes"

feels like this was made just for me

important to revisit the words of the Founding Fathers on this day

It's time

Please help me finish my thesis so I can finally be free of academia 🫶✨ aidetectionsurvey.carrd.co
