I've been running gdcparties.com for a few years now. Some shitty company BlueberryAI decided they'd just take all the source code for the work I've done and reskin it, advertising it as their own. Jokes on them...it was still linked to my events spreadsheet, and now their website looks like this 😉

Added context: Nintendo is not alone. Other companies that have sued over Trump's tariffs recently include FedEx, UPS, Barnes & Noble, Costco, Revlon, Prada, Staples... In terms of gaming companies, I haven't seen others Great scoop by @nicolecarpenter.bsky.social www.reuters.com/business/aut...

ECCC is this week, so now seems a good time to remind people of ReedPop's parent company ties to ICE

New from 404 Media: Proton Mail, the privacy-focused email service, gave authorities data that let the FBI unmask an anonymous 'Stop Cop City' protester. It was payment data linked to the anonymous email account. From that, FBI ID'd them, then tracked their movements www.404media.co/proton-mail-...

I always love these sorts of interviews where people expect devs to be like "You know we hadn't announced anything but I feel like this random interview may be the perfect time to announce our entire lineup for the next ten years, thank you for asking"

I gotta hand it to congress they aren’t even pretending to remotely be a democratic body anymore. Thank you for revealing the dictatorship of the bourgeoisie to the people

It's got to be some real insult to injury to have your CEO lay you off while blaming conspiracies and corporate espionage after ordering monitoring software to be secretly installed on employee PCs.

I think about this take more often than I'd like to.

i know why game devs keep doing this with enemy design ("acceptable" target, shouldn't be but it is) and i hope, sometime in my lifetime, it ends. remember the boomer in l4d? what if we gave him a backstory file about how he was trying to lose weight? re: requiem! www.mothership.blog/you-know-wha...

looking at the GDC talks for this year and this kinda sums it up, huh

"The CIA conspired to make me less cool than I was when I was 25" is the most succinct Gen X manifesto I've ever heard

Okay! My GDC schedule has a lot of empty room in it. Who's gonna be there and wants to chat? Especially if you want to talk about porting your game to console/needing release management/QA/co-dev stuff But even if you just know me from around the industry!

hey let's hastily migrate hbo max and discovery to the same oracle-hosted backend that takes five years to start a paramount+ stream and is regularly cracking under the strain of tiktok, this will go great www.theverge.com/tech/888647/...

Blue Prince for Switch 2 will get a physical release from iam8bit

Netflix boss says the Paramount acquisition of Warner Bros could result in around $16B cost cutting over 18 months. "There’ll be cuts in excess of $16 billion. They are telling people who lend them the money that’s going to happen in 18 months or so." www.gamesindustry.biz/netflix-boss...

Girl what

one of my favorite things about Resident Evil requiem is that I'll always start with muttering to myself what I believe will be the worst one-liner I can think of and then Leon manages to one-up me with a worse one

A government which does not want trans people to exist, and is legally allowed to force detransition in prisons, has created incentive for itself to put more trans people in prisons.

this cures what ails me every time

When the US did regime change in Libya to bring democracy, it led to slave markets being introduced. With Iraq, the country collapsed and ISIS emerged as a destabilizing force. In Afghanistan, trillions were spent only for the Taliban to return to power within days of the US withdrawal.

There should be an Earth for people who don't hate all living things

Thinking about this quote from Persepolis creator Marjane Satrapi again.

Americans need to understand that only they view Israel this way. Everyone else views it as the US. We all know Israel doesn't do anything significant without the US okay-ing it first. Israel's actions against Hamas, Hezbollah, Syria and Iran are done for the US's benefit as much as theirs

Do not let anyone gaslight you into forgetting that: - Iran agreed to a nuclear deal ELEVEN GODDAMN YEARS AGO and Trump unilaterally reinstated sanctions anyway - Oman's Foreign Minister publicly declared that Iran agreed to zero enriched uranium stockpiling - the US and Israel are nuclear powers

things every single republican president of your lifetime has done - started a war in the middle east - completely destroyed the economy

My entire life the Democratic party has never shown themselves as any less eager to incinerate children with US missiles, starve them with policy, or poison their air and water for kickbacks -- they just want to be included when Republicans do it first.

oh i see we did this because we oppose the iranian government. because if there’s one thing US involvement in the middle east has reliably done these last 40 years, it’s stabilize governments

We cannot and should not let generative AI take away these tiny, insignificant, but probably fun as hell jobs from artists

THIS IS WHAT SAM ALTMAN WANTS TO TAKE FROM YOU

In a sane world both Netflix and Paramount would be blocked from this deal. But holy shit, we desperately need antitrust to make a huge come back if this goes through! The consolidation of media to then turn into an authoritarian monopoly is just utterly devastating.

People are always like what’s something you miss from the past and one of mine is antitrust laws

Actually, “catastrophic” is not too strong a word here. variety.com/2026/tv/news...
