Love is real because you know Falin would be going OFF on that sandwich if Marcille wasn’t trying to cutely feed her

Lots of love to my colleagues still employed by legacy media but it’s near impossible to read anything from your outlet now. The page refreshes constantly on mobile, ads & paywalls flood the screen. This is why I keep saying YT/Twitch has a huge advantage — many outlets are hostile to readers

There is a direct throughline from this and the rise in global authoritarianism. Authoritarianism is actively hostile toward the arts and intellectualism, and thus imagination. When people say that AI is a “fascist project,” this is explicitly what they’re referring to.

hey this unbeatable game's pretty good

it’s weird how “having a job that isn’t actively evil” now feels like a genuine luxury

"Democrats need to break from this path and acknowledge that billionaires—especially those in the increasingly antidemocratic tech sector—are never going to side with them over the GOP." From @alexisgoldstein.bsky.social newrepublic.com/article/2087...

Mamdani is proving over and over again that the reason other elected leaders don't do this stuff is simply because they don't want to.

There should be something where you get money just for being alive on account of you need it to live

I ❤️ THE GIANT INDUSTRIAL CONSTRUCTION LIGHT BLASTING INTO MY APARTMENT AT 12 AM

You can scan your computer for bugs the fun way now! The game I've been working on part time is finally out for Windows PC on Steam! Thanks to the folks who encouraged me along the way 🐛💚

Lmao I remember a supervisor telling me this and then I did internal training on managing contractors and it said explicitly that contractors cost 2/3rds what a full time person was. It’s not complicated at all. Full time, unions, pensions, everything that’s been stolen from the working class.

The paper of record bravely asks “should we be more bigoted?”

I'm beginning to doubt the legitimacy of the FIFA peace prize committee

highly recommend checking out this cool little article (in case you've never experienced one of the greatest pieces of media of all time of any medium)

A game put together by an extremely talented and lovely team of nerds and weirdos, worth playing for the end credits alone.

bluesky will never be tumblr because the average user on this site wouldn't know what a joke is if it rammed them at 100km/h

Rolled credits on 1000xResist. I can't think of a game whose story was so intentionally and successfully layered. That team deserved every award.

okay the new Hiromu Arakawa anime absolutely fucks, she is fully back in Fullmetal Alchemist mode, 10/10 first episode, everyone go watch Daemons of the Shadow Realm (despite the terribly translated name)

FreeTaxUSA rules and it keeps getting easier to use year after year if you're a freelancer doing their own taxes. I'll never bother with H&R or TurboTax again

“Rowling has made it abundantly clear that she thinks attacking transgender people via the legal system is a worthwhile cause and a good use of her vast personal fortune…there’s no way to watch this show without supporting Rowling’s bigotry and the structural violence she’s inflicting…”

Trans rights, ending ICE, and freeing Palestine all got huge cheers at my local No Kings protest. These are mainstream positions for the Democratic electorate. The party needs to fucking catch up.

the speedrunning community was as toxic and as much of a boys club (if not more) as many others not too long ago, and the transition to it being a more queer-positive and inclusive event wasn't inevitable. GDQ's shift has been really meaningful and it's a lesson for what a lot of other spaces can be

Not enough; I need to see Mark Zuckerberg cry.

when you really think about it, the true value of video games is in laying off thousands of the people who make them at regular intervals in order to increase shareholder value 🥰

Multiple game studios have recently closed because their titles couldn't compete with established live-service games like Fortnite. Meanwhile, you can also literally work on Fortnite and get laid off and Tim Sweeney remains a billionaire. Something has to change. The time is now. uvw-cwa.org

In the post fun times as work nears It feels as though a cracked glass pane weighs down on me, spouting black severance goo trying to seep in

Now is not the time to ask your trans friends if they are okay. Now is the time to send your trans friends care packages, find them jobs, and ask your doctor about a HRT prescription you don't actually need.

Dude fuck “gdc nights” or whatever I need gdc aftercare

I dunno man I just don't think the people who make graphics cards should be the most powerful and economically successful people in the world. I feel like the priorities are fucked there.

BREAKING: A Delaware judge has ruled that Krafton must *reinstate* Ted Gill, the fired CEO of Subnautica 2 maker Unknown Worlds. In the ruling, the judge accuses Krafton's CEO of using ChatGPT to come up with a strategy to get out of paying Unknown Worlds a $250 million bonus. Story coming shortly

'Sinners' won a total of 4 Oscars tonight, including awards for Best Actor, Best Original Screenplay, Best Cinematography, and Best Original Score. Clarksdale, Mississippi, the setting of the film, has been forever changed since the movie's release: https://capitalbnews.org/clarksdale-sinners/

She asked every woman in the room to stand, because she couldn’t have done this without them. Tears. (New Year’s Resolution to stop acquiring new parasocial faves at awards shows: busted. Please direct me to the Autumn Durald Arkapaw fan club)

YEAH

Will all you gay nerds go watch sinners now

games industry

this was like 1:1 the experience of being in the IGFs for Highland two years ago. The awards are neat! Meeting other finalists is so fun! The Pavilion is the most abandoned, out of the way display on the entire show floor.

Post GDC Sunday

*song exploder voice* and now, in its entirety, the 2026 Independent Games Festival Awards. run and hosted by @karriebear.bsky.social, co-directed by @teddydief.com, co-written by me. gotta be one of the strongest fields i've seen, congrats to all the devs and juries! www.youtube.com/live/rLbzERI...

CLIP STUDIO PAINT GOT A NEW VERSION OUT & THEY ARE DOING THEIR BIG DISCOUNTS ON PERPETUAL (One time purchase) LICENSES ‼️ Sale ends March 17th 2026, if you want to use Clip Studio Paint this is the perfect time to get it 👀👍✨ www.clipstudio.net/en/purchase/

Proposing an event called GDCsleep

I missed the gdcas had happened bc they're not directly after igf anymore, but lmao dude why even bother having them if your result is indistinguishable from the Game Awards

oh lawd he comin!!!

GDC will always be a mixed bag due to the corporate entity managing what is effectively Game Dev Summer Camp, but I feel like some sort of event that brings together part of the community every year is good for the soul.

shoutout to the City17 bart station

for all it matters from a bluesky gamer account like me: no war in iran. this attack is horrific and all decent people of the world must oppose it with no hesitation or equivocation about iran's government or nuclear programs. that's irrelevant to the pointless depravity of this bloodshed
