www.pcgamer.com/games/action... A heartfelt thank you to AAA Companies for creating a point of difference that indies can claim at no extra cost. Simply by continuing to make games with intent and reliable tools, we can show our audience respect, and be respected as professionals in return.

Union workers send a message to game industry execs: 'Let go of the power now, or be forced to let go of it later.'

oh my god this is extremely funny

This is the absolute good shit right here.

I don't really have an outlet for this so I just put it in a Google Doc, which you can find here. On Marathon: docs.google.com/document/d/1...

QTP with a game that has a 10/10 Soundtrack

I was asked to give my thoughts on generative AI usage in games - here they are!

really dig this from mikhail, illustrates why I push back against people who would like marathon to be some other kind of game. form follows function! the narrative themes and gameplay genre inform one another! it is a work with a coherent vision!

friend, this is Marcus Junius Brutus CAESAR has declared himself DICTATOR FOR LIFE and MUST BE STOPPED can you rush a donation of ten denarii today to show that you STAND WITH THE REPUBLIC?

Marathon is deeply trying to ruin my sleep schedule. There is something about it that has its hooks in me in a way few games have in recent memory.

Reading the CEO comments in this: The Arc Raiders team can eat my ass. Never buying their shit again. Like with Hotel Barcelona, E33, and so many others, they got fucking caught and they're trying to backtrack and say "I'm sowwy. I didn't *KNOW* the stove was hot 🥺"

Media outlets bend over backwards to be like, “Politician Uses Charged Language That Critics Say Is Potentially Racially Insensitive” and then that politician will post, “NAH I LOVE RACISM!!!”

Do you work in games? Are you tired of corporate greed taking over our industry? Do you miss when industry events were by workers, for workers? The United Videogame Workers of CWA, in partnership with other unions and worker-centered organizations, announce the #GameWorkersConference. May 22-23 ❤️‍🔥

Man. The world fucking is on fire. So go be as corny and cringe as you wanna be without hurting people. Live whats left of your only life. If you can’t be free in your body at least go be free in your mind and soul. Fuck the haters.

Between the cost of gas increasing and the price of V-Bucks going up - it’s like someone is actually trying to start a riot.

Never stop bullying AI weirdos

Pretty crazy how important the blockade of a trade route is right now

I started this game with my kiddo tonight, and it really is something special. We’re having a blast jumping and swinging around, but the story has him completely hooked.

UVW-CWA members are forming unions at their own studios to make better games and to build a better industry. Solidarity to the Heart Machine devs - if you’re interested in organizing, this is your sign! Reach out to us either in our DMs or at GDC this week 💪

Me yelling this at my phone as I hear my kid start coming down the stairs

My new favorite holiday

There’s a through-line here; which is basically a codex to a lot of how my brain ticks. Anyways - DAII really is the best one and all y’all are haters for saying otherwise.

Surprise! The Jeff Bezos-owned Washington Post is against my 5% billionaire wealth tax. I wonder why? If enacted, Bezos would owe $12 billion in taxes, and an average family of 4 would receive a $12,000 direct payment. Poor Jeff would be left with just $224 billion to survive.

lmao damn I was on fire when I wrote this www.avclub.com/animal-cross...

Felt this in my bones

literally can we stop pretending keighley has a positive impact on this industry at all

Also when you clearly state, as he did in his tweet, "We had no interest in replacing *any* developers with AI," while having AI do writing and character voices, that means you do not think writers and VAs are game developers.

Burnout 3 is underrated as one of the very, very best games of all time because you could show Burnout 3 footage to the 2nd century warlord poet Cao Cao and his reaction would still be "hell yeah, this rules, and they write a book about me too? I wanna play this right now."

A pair of newly introduced autistic acquaintances have entered a perilous standoff over who will be the first to reveal they’re actually a little freak, it has been rumoured.

ICE announced they’re going to spend more than $38 billion to detain thousands of more people. With that amount of money, we could end homelessness, extend the Affordable Care Act subsidies, or provide school lunches to every kid in America. This is totally unacceptable.

This. It would be really, really great if Democrats would start *consistently* calling out the way that the media is led around like f'ing children by the right-wing hate machine. Don't just accept the frame. Call out the frame. Force viewers to confront the frame. It's so f'ing basic.

Rev. Jesse Jackson's "I *am* somebody..." remains one of the all-time great pieces of 20th century rhetoric / agitprop And he could deliver it at a Black separatist meeting, the Democratic National Convention, or on god-blessed Sesame Street (see below 🥹) RIP to the Voice of the Voiceless

Truly the most stupid timeline. At a point in time where renewable energy has tipped into genuine widespread viability, capital invents whole new ways to fabricate waste and scarcity.

genuinely legendary resume. rest in peace o7

Only the real ones know…

I apologize to every Superman writer who’s ever written about Krypton’s destruction. Evidently, people *can* just destroy their own planet and not care.

Play Ladykiller in a Bind. Tell Discord that you're playing Ladykiller in a Bind. Tell your friends that you're playing Ladykiller in a Bind. Start a Ladykiller in a Bind book club. Let Discord use fuzzy analytics to determine that you must be an adult because your book club is too busy to ever meet

Hey @discord.com - you *do* understand how bad this is going to backfire, right? Just wondering.

I never noticed this either.

Telling my kids this was Dunk and Egg

Guys only want to do one thing, and it’s disgusting. The one thing:

Context: this speech is from SIR THOMAS MORE, a history written, as near as scholars can tell, in the early 1600s by 6 or 7 people including Dekker, Heywood, Chettle, Shakespeare, and Munday. It was never performed, because Jacobean England was a police state and it was banned by the censor.

It's because you fucking kids stopped blending the limeade concentrate with tequila for dirt cheap margaritas in high school/college.
