You need to understand how fucking broken this country is and how little this will help. Why are Labour the worst? Jesus Christ the bar was on the floor and they still tripped.

The No ICE in Minnesota charity bundle submission period is now open: itch.io/jam/no-ice-i... All games, free and paid, TTRPG and browser based-alike are welcome Submissions are open until January 26 & the charity bundle supporting a Minnesota based Immigrants' rights org will go live in February

I think applying for jobs has been the single most demoralising thing I've ever done in my life. Not just games industry, just in general. Stressing about money knowing there's no fucking end in sight for unemployment. It's awful.

Hah I found that great quote. The deities bless this wonderful person that is @neilnewbon.bsky.social

Using genAI for concept art is so fucking stupid because like... that's where you get the cool shit. Thats the blue sky phase where artists make pieces of art that will be seen by a teenager later and change their life forever. Why would you want to start from mediocre. Why would you do that.

Our statement on the recent layoffs affecting workers at Coatsink, Splash Damage, Glowmade & Square Enix, putting over 300 workers at risk of redundancy in the run up to Christmas. If you work in the UK games industry, join our union today: iwgb.org.uk/en/join/game...

how is it possible to have a job application denied after an hour of applying when it's a massive studio and the job posting has been up for like 20 hours 💀

Truly will avoid every game that uses Gen AI in some way (until some proper regulation but that's a pipe dream so probably forever).

happy transgender day of remembrance thank you for sticking around in the hardest of times. if you haven't, you are missed dearly please live 💜

Fuck cancer.

Nice. Tune into the Game Awards Nominees announcement and they can't even do the bare fucking minimum of attempting to pronounce Erika Ishii's name correctly.

One of those days where you wake up with a rejection letter before 9am and it drops you a mini existential crisis about whether or not you've wasted years training for an industry that will vehemently deny you

I can't believe this is a real advert from a company. It looks so fucking bad I'd be so embarassed to release it oml

AI "art" is souless. AI "videos" are souless. AI "games" will be souless. The bubble needs to burst before more people's lives get destroyed by greedy corporations.

I beat Path of Pain in 40 minutes blind, I think I'm a gamer?

Getting hit with so many rejection letters man 😭 it's so demoralising to wake up and see like 2 in my inbox immediately

I can take the blue pill and do some D&D prep for my session on fucking friday OR I can take the red pill and play more Hollow Knight

Getting to the point where I'm eating Kimchi with most food. It's actually too addicting

who couldve fucking seen this coming i guess Labour didn't

This honestly could be a great moment for the games industry. It might mean AI bros leave the space when they realise how fucking dogshit AI-generated games will be.

currently the mood rn

UK workers at Disco Elysium studio ZA/UM have unionised - the first recognised video game union in the UK. (Read more: GamesIndustry)

Unfortunately still on the lookout. Would really love to try and secure a job before the new year~

🧵Thread of photos I took of my favourite signs from yesterday's Trump protest. First up: Fuck off

Here is some non-satire for you: Trans rights forever.

Wth I just got back from a week in Barcelona and i see that i've gained like 100 followers?? And I'm at 1,000 followers??? Hey everyone :) I make dumb games for a living, what about you guys

I have done nothing but play Sonic Racing Crossworlds for 3 days

Okay Sonic racing is kinda of goated. It's fire

We put a lot of effort into Bubsy's facial rig and it's a ton of fun to work with.

Can we normalise having "Game Design" on drop down menus for CV / Education WHEN I'M APPLYING FOR A GAME DESIGN JOB 😭

I'm not going to give my ID or a photoscan of me to every single website. That is a fucking insane idea.

I don't know how to feel with how I just started procrastinating D&D prep work by doing actual work on my day off...

Fuck this, and fuck this government.

This government is fucking grim. Fuck these guys so much

Every social media asking me to age verify through ID is so fucking dystopian its crazy

Already said it, but posting again. I'll be at Brighton in a few days!!

Why did I think listening to Critical Role at work was a good idea? (it's 11:42am and I'm crying)

Brody King shared a post about what is happening in LA right now on Instagram. #AEW 🤼

We have reached a tentative agreement with the video game bargaining group, which includes some of the largest video game companies in the world, and we are hopeful that our video game strike will be suspended in the coming days. #SagAftraStrong ow.ly/wZzx50W6Lwv

Hey more UI posting =) Back in 2020 I worked on a small Wave-based FPS game called "Temple Imperium" with a few really cool and talented people. It was the first major project I ever worked on and so I wanted to give it some love recently (5 year anniversary in July) and give it a UI make-over!

This year's Summer Games Fest presentation was really concerned with how few people made a lot of those games, huh? It feels kinda fucked up. Not just because they're often misrepresntating the real size of these teams, but because I think it's playing directly into a new(ish) flavour of dev hate.

Summer Games Fest was fire

Hey so I'm about to hit 1000 followers (what the fuck?)

I already love Brandon Sanderson, but holy Yumi and the Nightmare Painter is just another incredible hit. Loved it so much 😭

TW: SA/INCEST/ABUSE Normally I don't do this, but I got permission from @longlongbunny.bsky.social to help spread awareness of their situation. Please help them by sharing this Ko-Fi: ko-fi.com/longlongbunny Evidence: docs.google.com/document/d/1...

Shoutout to the woman on the bus yesterday who said that she was working as a game designer making board games to a random couple sitting behind us. The odds of that happening have to be unbelievably low 💀

About that time of the year where I post that I'll probably be at Develop:Brighton but I want to figure out mutuals who are also going, and what day(s) people might be heading down!
