Games are not tech and yet the great people who make them have been owned by Big Tech and are now being discarded en masse, because according to C-suits, tech can replace what they do. It’s a gross miscalculation. Games are art, games need soul. The more we lose talent, the more we’ll lose players.

Breaks my heart seeing massive layoffs hitting our industry again ☹️ In @cdprojektred.com we have a lot of openings, from The Witcher 4, to Cyberpunk 2, and other projects, across Poland, US and Canada. Please share it with your collogues and join us! 🥺 cdprojektred.com/en/jobs

Had a fantastic time at @baftagames.bsky.social today. Loved chatting with my co-panelists and the smart questions. Thank you @lukethehebble.bsky.social

i think it would be useful for us as a society in this strange age to reorient our definitions of words like “art” art being an act of labour that has emotionally expressive purpose and intent leading things like generated “art” to be defined as, perhaps, “visuals” it’s not art, it’s a visual

I am a friend. I share. 🖤💛

It's rare that I see an entry-level writing job in games so I wanted to share that Media Molecule is hiring a writer. www.brightnetwork.co.uk/graduate-job... On site in Guildford.

when i spent years studying fascism, rebellion & revolution, i was fortunate to be mentored by a celebrated historian who dedicated his life to the same study he once shared with me the piece of reading that impacted him most: a chapter in tolstoy's Resurrection. critical words today. read & share

Go see Remy's talk. It's EXCELLENT.

I have shared this story, this thread, before - but I think given the state of the world, it's worth telling once again. Maybe it can help, especially if like me, you make art, and you wonder what the use of all of it is right now.

but if you take either of those approaches - that players derive joy from communicating with the devs through play, whether it's beating their challenges or being led carefully through them - then it really highlights why a lot of gen AI in the game experience is just undesirable

This makes me so angry - because this translates to "I too would like to make a lot of money" But let's be real. You would not have published Balatro. You want a lightning strike- fund 20 games. Fund 30 games. Fund so many damn games that maybe you find the right field to be struck by lightning.

“Isolate growth from public good (let alone environmental security), and you are simply planning for breakdown: individual psychological collapse in varying degrees of seriousness & collective implosion as limited resources run out…”. Essential reading👇

Face à Trump et à Poutine, l’extrême droite renoue avec ses réflexes capitulards. Dans les médias Bolloré, elle reprend les fake news de Washington cuisinées à la sauce Kremlin. Son refrain : l'Ukraine est responsable de la guerre et doit capituler.

No one alive will experience a better climate than today. But young people will experience a much more dangerous and chaotic world in the future, and the extent to which that happens will depend on our choices today. Trump doesn't care because he's old and a sociopath. www.ipcc.ch/report/ar6/s...

How COOL is that??!! 🤩

The ordinary questions you might ask: Is Elon Musk a government employee? Are his lieutenants? Does he personally hold a security clearance and do his “lieutenants”? Have they all undergone a background check? Are they subject to foreign influence? Have they ever done a sieg heil on stage?

i wanna have an honest conversation about pay in the industry right now. doing so is scary. here's thoughts: 1. funding for indies is near non-existent 2. most indies are self-funding, aka regular person paying out of their bank account that looks like yours 3. is a little pay better than zero pay?

RE: All the talk of games funding. Trash Goblin ticked the box for pretty much everything publishers are looking for. An experienced team, with a polished prototype of a new twist in a popular genre. 76 publishers turned it down (Whilst wasting months of our dev time and all Spilt Milk's runway).

A VERY important read.

as an anthropologist, one of my academic specialisations is authoritarianism & revolutionist practice in response to it one of my research foci for 3+ years was the social processes of a society's descent into authoritarianism. my historian mentor once told me: it happens slowly, then all at once.
