HI THE INDIE FILM I CO-WROTE AND AM CREATIVE PRODUCING IS NOW ON BLUESKY!!! Go follow @watchgodmother.bsky.social (it genuinely really does help for our upcoming festival run + the likelihood of you being able to see the movie in cinemas!)

I’ve had porn deepfakes made of me since long before genAI existed, and am (sadly) very unphased by it at this point, but I do strongly agree with this sentiment. These men don’t do it to jerk off to - they do it as a means of ‘digital rape’. If anything, they jerk off to knowing you don’t consent.

call me crazy but it really feels like “World’s Richest Man Creates AI Chatbot That Generates Child Porn” would’ve been a huge international outrage requiring a governmental crackdown not even 24 months ago

A huge privilege to send off 2025 shooting our indie feature GODMOTHER. It was cold and exhausting and wonderful and so, so inspiring and while we do have some shoot days in LA and months of editing/sound/festivals before “done” is remotely fathomable, I am already *so* proud of what we made.

I STAND BY IT (though I did also make this video which includes 5 indie games you likely haven’t heard of that are all kinds of fantastic: youtu.be/ZCAR-9OAhH8

#AI #CriticalThinking #AIHallucinations #LLMs Things to keep in mind, when you use AI... 1. Watch @charalanahzard.bsky.social's video (and please watch it all the way to the end). 2. Then, if you wanna dig deeper, go read @richardcarrier.info's article.

Devastated. Outside of consistently hearing him be very pro-player and anti-shitty corporate practices I can’t speak to Vince professionally, but personally he was such a down to earth, funny, warm person. The industry already feels far less bright without him. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Funny animal videos no longer being trustworthy just fucking sucks all around. I love the wonder of animal behavior and what it says about the experience of being alive. It's because it happened in reality that it's so fun. It's not fun if it was just made up. There's no wonder there.

This is the movie I’ve been working on for the last 12 months!!! Jack joined around August - I originally offered him a part but he didn’t feel he was right for it, but liked the script enough that he… decided to produce instead. Genuinely a dream of an EP - he just wants to make GOOD ART.

Excited to officially announce something I’ve been working on this *entire year* - GODMOTHER. We accomplished the seemingly impossible feat of writing an original screenplay and actually getting it funded 2025! Follow @ watchgodmother on Instagram for updates. collider.com/dee-wallace-...

losing my mind watching people genuinely complain that there wasn’t enough ‘variety’ in their awards show because Expedition 33 - a game that is exceptional in almost every way - won several awards for being exceptional in almost every way

damn the lead of Saros is hot 👀

Tune into the Hard Drive Game Awards this Friday at 7PM EST on twitch.tv/harddrivemag! Fabulous guests, including: @hbomberguy.bsky.social @mikedrucker.bsky.social @charalanahzard.bsky.social @airbagged.bsky.social @emmakidwell.bsky.social @benstarr.bsky.social @alyssamerc.bsky.social

fuck off please

Great video from @charalanahzard.bsky.social on this story, she's treated it with the nuance it deserves as always. Challenging art should be allowed into the world so it can be freely judged.

The VA in Dispatch was phenomenal so it gets my vote for the game awards and because well i love hot demon lady malevola done by @charalanahzard.bsky.social

In this video, Alanah Pearce explains the issue with HORSES' ban better than we ever could. Thank you so, so much 🙏

Honoured to be presenting at this year’s @hard-drive.net awards. As you all know, I truly love Venture Capital Takeovers and am ecstatic to award the true innovators who are leading the way in this facet of the industry.

here’s my official comment on the Netflix/WB news xx

So much of auteur play we see in games is built around selfies with mildly uninterested film celebrities. I find it really embarrassing.

Here's my video about @santaragione.com's HORSES, and why it being banned from Steam sucks even if you aren't interested in *this particular game*. Video games as a whole deserve better! youtu.be/G-7r9pL0Hqo?...

This month on Acting 101, Jacksepticeye joins us to talk about playing Punch-Up in DISPATCH! (also ft. @abubakarsalim.bsky.social @benstarr.bsky.social @charalanahzard.bsky.social @erikaishii.bsky.social!) youtu.be/2Zpk4AEh-Zg

The amount of people I know who have been laid off from games industry jobs and are deciding to leave games entirely as a result is not only extremely saddening (of course), but also genuinely scary. We have lost legitimately thousands of years of knowledge and experience in the last four years.

This is brilliant. Like, vintage Colbert brilliant.

Tomorrow! MALEVOLA & COUPÉ ARE PLAYIN’ DISPATCH. Twitch.tv/charalanahzard

This is a must see.The assassination of Jamal Khashoggi has been so skipped by the general reporting of the EA buyout (I don't recall any media other than Eurogamer.es talking about it, but might be wrong) that I almost gaslighted myself into thinking the man behind it was "another saudi prince".

As always, extremely well done and informative content from Alanah. Please watch this *and* take a stroll through her channel, you'll learn a ton.

Good shit. Unfortunately, games are now both profitable and culturally relevant enough to garner the attention of asshole CEOs, insatiable shareholders, and regimes in need of a little reputational laundering... 😔

Damned impressive breakdown of the EA/Saudi situation and why "keep politics out of games" is an ignorant, and maybe even dangerous position to take.

Me oh my, the wonderful @charalanahzard.bsky.social has a new video out and it is again, as always well researched and written and also again quite a brave open and detailed video about the EA purchase by the Saudi gov and others... www.youtube.com/watch?v=yOzF... Watch, share etc...

Here’s my breakdown of EA’s pending sale… to Saudi Arabia… and why this is much, much bigger than video games. I’m late to this from a ‘news’ perspective obviously, but it’s because I worked on this video for about a month. youtu.be/yOzFyrRH_sw

Keep up.

Folks who make video games! @officialgdc.bsky.social is running the annual State of the Industry survey again. You should take the chance to weigh in! The survey's gone through a major overhaul this year and your voice will matter even more: gdconf.typeform.com/SOTI26

my only regret is that that Dick Cheney isn’t alive to be mad about this

THAT’S MY MAYOR!!! (i live in los angeles)

Realized I forgot to share this one! The latest PWL is about indie game marketing, and why you should make bad games. DO IT. (ft. @mikebithell.bsky.social & @charalanahzard.bsky.social) youtu.be/cFAihl5DNAc

So proud of this team ❤️.

Wow… shout out to @charalanahzard.bsky.social for this excellent video. Very well articulated and understandable explanation of everything we’re seeing in the gaming communities. “Stop watching and go play Blue Prince” is an excellent final statement. Great video. youtu.be/9HM9nmqNioQ?...
