The episode of TV I recently directed is LIVE NOW! I loved working with this whole cast and crew, and would hire so many of these people again in a heartbeat ❤️. youtu.be/nj64TK45GhQ?...

I realized I’ve been sort of mourning the internet lately. It’s odd. This ‘place’ that used to contain a wealth of actually valuable information, and introduced me to many people I now call friends, and which paved the way for my career, has almost completely rotted away. It’s not coming back.

Matthew Mercer plays Shroud in Dispatch. See you October 22nd.

Similar to my Stop Killing Games video, I’d love to chat to game devs about their thoughts on GamePass. If you are a game dev, or know one who has Opinions On GamePass, and would be willing to share them with me (can be anonymous) please reply to this post!

Fucking up the algo always gets my thumbs-up. Well played, Alanah! Love trick 6!

honestly livid about having to endure the slow realization that hornet is a goddamn spider

Brilliant. Very well written and researched with satire that starts subtle and builds until it’s slapping you in the face.

i am going to be absolutely insufferable when Saros comes out

The best video about AI on the internet and it isn't getting 1/1000th of the attention it deserves.

This video is absolutely incredible. I truly don't hate generative AI enough. Alanah nails this, and this all just illustrates that using AI is fundamentally a way to outsource your humanity. #5 is genuinely new to me and deeply ghoulish. Just, fuckin hell, why does anyone want this shit?

This is a powerhouse of a masterclass in satire.

Flawless victory, no notes. Breathtaking shit.

"People using LLMs basically used less of their brains. Like, literally less of the neural networks that spark around while we think about stuff. Which, to me, sounds … efficient?" I was laughing, and then it just gets more and more depressing.

New MOVIEHAUS. Naked Gun, Weapons, and a bit about Ryan breaking into James and Elyse’s house 😌👀. (ft @jameswillems.bsky.social @elysewillems.bsky.social @charalanahzard.bsky.social) youtu.be/KFL9jwzhIsg

free speech but only if it doesnt huwt my feewies 🥺👉🏻👈🏻

@charalanahzard.bsky.social I SEE YOU! BIG DAWG MOVES IN THIS. HELL YEAH youtu.be/rrWos4NShT8?...

I have lost literal thousands of followers for this post in which I expressed shock that someone compared Charlie Kirk to MLK. 👀

3D environment artist who worked on the absolutely BEAUTIFUL Sword of the Sea vvvv

Sometimes when we interview game devs on PWL I swear you can see their faces change the second they realize we’re going to ask them a bunch of technical and/or design specific questions. It’s wonderful.

ha ha ha ha ha what the fuck

We don’t even know who fucking did it.

Here is another post in which I beg game devs not to sell their IP/allow studios to make adaptations without them. I am *so happy* to talk to any devs currently in this process! Video games are incredible, your stories are incredible. Adapting them is a gift to the world, not the other way around.

lol this mf doesn’t know about Castroids

ok ok we workshopped it: she HOLLOW on my KNIGHT until i SILK on her SONG you’re welcome

she SILK on my SONG until I HOLLOW her KNIGHT is this something???? LIVE playin the start of Silksong on twitch.tv/charalanahzard & YouTube.com/@alanahstreams

Excited to have been one of the devs she talked to for this. Game preservation is still a knot we haven't untied yet. SKG is a step in the right direction in making sure the hard work of devs just doesn't vanish with a flip of a server switch.

Dead Take @charalanahzard.bsky.social

Alanah waited to release the video for the same reason I asked her not to reveal my employer nor social media. Thankfully, waters seem to be calmer now, so I think I can share that I am one of those game devs she asked. This video is excellent and I feel honoured to be among those names.

I'm late to this one because I specifically wanted to avoid the ~internet drama~ surrounding it, but I asked 20 game devs what they thought about Stop Killing Games. Some of these answers were genuinely fascinating - huge thanks to all the devs who helped out! youtu.be/ZtHPFvQ1Puw?...

Hey everyone! I'm currently looking for a pixel artist, preferably one with experience doing isometric art to create a cobblestone path tileset. It would be similar to the kind used in Tactics Ogre, but for 64x32 sized tiles. Paid of course. Post if you're interested! #pixelart #jobs #2dart

Wishlist here if you like Onions: store.steampowered.com/app/2870250/...

Layers Deep (the game I am narrative directing!) got an art update. Our art director/animator @mrchambers.bsky.social worked super hard on this and I am so proud of our lil onion glow up 🥹🧅.

Diablo devs unionize following layoffs and dissatisfaction with AI, pay aftermath.site/diablo-union...

This fucking rules. Incredibly proud of all of my friends at IGN for taking this very brave stance.

I *very distinctly* remember anyone who makes any effort to support me in the face of harassment, because so few people do. It is largely dealt with silently and completely alone, with 0 support (and some times actually disdain!) from those who pretend to be champions.

Big news, friends! Next week we’re officially announcing our studio and revealing our very first game!!! We’ve been pouring our hearts into: the world’s first single-player roguelike fighting game!

I’M READY

I'm not right wing but some of this "woke" stuff is a little over the top [6 months later] Slavery was fine. Your city is under martial law

I know it wasn't the point but she did such a good job describing how terrible the film is I had to watch it myself. She is absolutely correct we are cracking up and flabbergasted that this thing was released

anyway if you’d like to watch me descend into madness trying to explain the plot of this film, here you go youtu.be/GPnZvqyffpM

First time playing PEAK! Greatest climber! Nobody has ever climbed peaks like I do! Everyone says it! I know more about peaks than anyone! Huge peaks! Big, beautiful peaks! And I got on top of em!!!! Twitch.tv/charalanahzard

"We are told that if we practice, that we will become good at something. We are told that life is fair, when it's not. ... and it is difficult." Solid wisdom from @neilnewbon.bsky.social

This is the content people subscribe to ‘games industry podcast’ @playwatchlisten.bsky.social for 😌

Love the way @charalanahzard.bsky.social uses her journalism background to tackle this topic and deliver some facts about these evangelical terrorists.

A pleasure to chat to @neilnewbon.bsky.social & @abubakarsalim.bsky.social about the making of Dead Take, a new indie horror game that... I am also in lol.

Excellent work by @charalanahzard.bsky.social and thank you for so very generously donating to my PayPal. I really appreciate you using your platform to discuss this youtu.be/rKD4fYc8xV4?...
