Fuck WoTC for this shit. Join a union guys.

Merry Go Round of Life from Howl's Moving Castle. It's been almost exactly a year since I started learning this song. It's easily been the hardest thing I've ever had to learn. I literally quit guitar for 6 months because it frustrated me too much 💀 But ENJOY!

What the fucken hell do better @baftagames.bsky.social this i so shameful. Multiple times Alyx offered to make changes. Trailer work infamously deals with lots of last minute changes and moving parts. And despite that, the door was open to make further changes, but no, cancelled THE NIGHT BEFORE.

I love when you can tell a level designer was at the end of their rope at one point

I just have no faith in this sadly. Maybe it'll surprise me and be decent...

It's so funny to read converative posts about the Trump Jesus Tweet. They can all be boiled down to: "I can't condone this one". What the fuck do you mean you could condone THE OTHER THINGS?

I used to see this kind of stuff a lot with story based games outside of RPGs (Especially around The Last of Us and Horizon). Yes those games are story based, but they're not self insert games. A character making bad choices does not inherently make a narrative worse.

Shoutout to the game I'm working on being entirely squares. We also have a shitty JPG hammer with some VFX work!

I was gonna post a head banging gif but it's just not appropriate. This is fucking bleak dude

GDC's 2026 IGF winner calls out U.S. cruelty at home and abroad

fuck sake. Book of Lenses is a goated book. I guess everytime I look at it, I'll frown from now on 😭

I swear you literally cannot win in this industry

We are literally goverened by morons who are in the pursuit of destroying art.

Is it weird to say I think Firewatch might be a revolutionary game?

One of the worst parts of applying for jobs is how I'm expected to write thousands of words tailored to a specific job, then just move on like I didn't spend like an hour or two on it only to see "we've gone with someone else, also no feedback". ._______.

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...
