New post about Indiana Jones as a response to the rise of the Christian Right jacobbaileywrites.ghost.io/indiana-jone...

I don't have much to say anymore that hasn't been said for the last few years of continued layoffs I just feel angry and sad every time, all the time. The bungie devs are guilty of nothing but delivering a beloved game to many. To be punished for that is just evil.

every single dev who touched destiny 2 over the decades deserves better

Someone should let me write star wars in exchange for currency

do you think that all those people in chicago for the world cup friendly a few weeks ago got to experience malort?

Well... at long last, it's here: my much-requested video detailing the events surrounding the (now-cancelled) Neopets TTRPG. ENJOY (and please be normal). youtu.be/T4I-QYXR-UE?...

2027 is gonna be the year i get more annoying it seems

Happy pride to my favorite analysis of one of my favorite movies! www.youtube.com/watch?v=XZma...

happy pride to the ancient asexuals

Happy pride! Everyone has to be nice to me!

I think Joanna Newsom should release a new album this year. This would fix me.

Star Wars weekend so I'm gonna plug my articles again because I have one on Star Wars! And how the Bush era influenced its politics during the 2000s. jacobbaileywrites.ghost.io/knights-of-t...

Leaving this here for whoever thinks you can't like something and also criticize it at the same time (Yes, i have 500 hours in the legendary edition alone. No, I do not have a problem. Probabaly.) jacobbaileywrites.ghost.io/the-militari...

Learning about a Chicago food item I was unaware of called the Jim Shoe What mad person created this sandwich? Who did this?

They're so bad at propaganda now and so desperate they're bringing back Michael Bay to do it This the same fuck it mentality the colts had when they called back Philip Rivers

I’ve had a few consulting gigs wrap up and now have time in my schedule for new projects! I’m a game writer with six years of experience working with AAA and indie studios on titles like Borderlands 4, Endoparasitic, Star Trucker, and [REDACTED]. Full resume and portfolio: www.nessacannon.com

I don't necessarily recommend getting stuck in an elevator.

good art does not always seek to make a point, but bad art regularly seeks to avoid making one

its crazy how much the word consultant has become a dogwhistle for chuds when literally every single AAA they play has utilized the work of a consultant. people hear consultants and think cultural, racial when in reality a lot of consultant work is to tell you your tools a studio uses are bad.

this is the bare minimum you should be doing when defending your employees. making a statement and proving you support them sets the standard and expectation that these people cannot bully companies into firing employees they dont like

Look fellas if you're making a war game then turn around and say "it's not political" then I feel like you gotta really step back and wonder wtf you are even making.

I am repeatedly floored by the people I have met who are far more creative and kind and smart than they may ever give themselves credit for. And to deprive them of the credit would be a disservice. They're making the best things, and I feel profoundly lucky every time I can share a space with them.

The best leaders in this industry aren’t those who have a hyper-detailed, one-man-show vision of their project. They don’t minimise or claim the work that their teammates do. They are the ones who are excited about what others can bring to the dynamic. Who hold the vision, rather than own it.

The whole protein craze is so dumb. A jar of peanut butter having a label that says it has a bunch of protein is like a car with a sticker on it that says "this machine can go forward and backward"

Crazy time for me to have started west wing for the first time

Remember fellas: a government agency doesn't need to be profitable to run. Imagine if they were like, "ah sorry we shut down the FBI because they didn't make enough money." They think we're fucking stupid

The response to the conversion therapy video has been amazing. I’ve gotten messages from lots of NHS staff appalled to learn about the present-day abuses, who want to hold senior managers to account. As I say in the video, allowing this abuse undermines the entire NHS! 🏥 youtu.be/_S5w18sjYLk?...

The fascists in power will sit there and post through genocide and then say random shit like "X historical massacre was actually caused by the woke left pushing policies like free school lunch" and there's somehow a group of citizens that say "give them the nuclear football!"

When someone in power threatens atrocities there has to be an adult in the room. Our elected officials and members of the ICC need to decide that the adult is going to be them.

im not sure why this needs to be said but thinking all homeless people are out to harm you and they belong on jail/insane asylums is 100% fascist thinking

it's time

An unthinkable situation compounded by a bureaucratic nightmare. My thoughts are with Mike and his family.

Like fr we have got to look out for each other out here because lord knows these companies are not going to do it.

Looking for a book off the shelf in a book store and repeating the alphabet song in my head

I find it so incredibly interesting that they chose RE Requiem to show off their weird little AI slop tool. Cuz like the whole series is about fighting against a corporation that, despite peddling itself as one thing, is really making weapons and making life worse.

Trying to find a job in video games right now is like crawling through hell: aftermath.site/video-game-rec...

I wrote about the new resident evil and the evils of capitalism This is a shorter article I promise! jacobbaileywrites.ghost.io/resident-evi...

it's @dreamcastaway.bsky.social writing about RESIDENT EVIL!!! specifically about the characters who are conspicuously absent from Resident Evil: Requiem...... www.mothership.blog/resident-evi...

was looking for something in the garage and i hope the neighbors enjoyed hearing me vocal stim in there for an hour before i gave up

Not a single person has yet been able to answer my fundamental question about AI “writing”: why would someone want to play a game that nobody even bothered to write?
