Significantly harder for any execs to justify their jobs in their brains if they can't hover over people's desks

“Why do studios keep forcing people back into the office? Why do they hate remote so much?” It’s because if executives can see you doing the work, it makes it easier for them to pretend they participated in it, too.

For those who can, here are links to donate directly to local efforts on the ground resisting ICE's terrorizing of Minneapolis. Let me know what you donated to where, and I'll match it until I get a panicked call from my bank! linktr.ee/mplsmutualaid

I said this last time but their real position is “if you disagree with us we can kill you.”

The United States Military has been using video games as propaganda tools for decades. They MADE video games for a time, with links to recruitment sites, stating they wanted to target teens to drive up recruitment numbers. Call of Duty has become an extension of this.

They are so much braver than our leaders and elites.

Holy shit

The Pitt could be the best show I've seen in a while but god damn does it hurt

Breaks my heart to share this, but today is my last day at The Verge and I am looking for work! I'd really like to stay in video games, preferably in some kind of journalistic capacity but I can do PR/Marketing and maybe even a lil Narrative Design. Please get in touch! www.ashparrish.com

It's not just a heist. It's a rescue mission. On 10 February 2026, Relooted arrives at a museum (and store page, we guess) near you. #indiegame

While the pasty incels who work the federal agencies continue to churn out feeble, bloodless AI pastiches of Axis propaganda, here’s how a living breathing artist powerfully invokes design history. This is by illustrator Emily K in South Philly, a free poster-sized download on her website: →

4th quarter Bears!

Just days into 2026, the killing of 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good by a federal immigration officer in Minneapolis, Minnesota, has sparked protests around the US. If you’re planning to protest, here’s how to safeguard your digital security.

Bluesky community! This is my official NYC mayor account. I’ll be posting updates on what’s happening at City Hall and how we’re delivering for New Yorkers. It’s great to be here.

The reactions to the footage in Minnesota seem neatly split between two camps: whether you are able to watch and process a video of a tragedy and accept it as such or whether you’re a fan of murder.

Our first ad of 2026! Because politics stuck in 2006 won't meet the moment. It's time to stand up to ICE, white supremacists, and the billionaire oligarchy.

infuriated on behalf of my union siblings in Halifax over this, even moreso after the absurdly long history of struggle in Canada trying to get a union going within Ubisoft. www.ign.com/articles/ubi...

I finally finished Echoes of the Eye and I made the mistake of doing this right before bed and I am not confident I'm gonna be able to sleep after that

If anyone has any junior/contract writer or ND positions, I am looking for work!

hi everybody! I'm urgently looking for full-time game writing/narrative design work. I'm a 6-year industry pro working with both AAA and indie studios on titles like Borderlands 4, Endoparasitic, and [REDACTED]. I also edit and consult! Updated portfolio is live on my new site: www.nessacannon.com

2026 the year I finally finish disco elysium and outer wilds echoes of the eye mark my words!

I am 8 years old. My father, alive, explains that the president cannot declare war without approval of congress over his morning coffee. My heart remains bold. I am 31 years old. I read about the president declaring war without approval of congress over my morning coffee. My heart remains bold.

We have to impeach him.

waking up in 2026

I don't really recall actually playing anything considering how young I was but I did watch my sister play Kingdom Hearts (though I think that's 2002?). Now it's KOTOR.... KOTOR my sweet prince

Last post of the year! Happy holidays :) jacobbaileywrites.ghost.io/the-comfort-...

I don’t mean to sound extreme, but I don’t think we should have torture camps for people with criminal records either.

The genocide is ongoing. Don't stop talking about Palestine.

The only acceptable amount of genAI usage is zero, IMO.

Placeholder text isn’t supposed to be unique per line. It is supposed to be an instruction to the writer with a great big warning sign slapped on the top, so that it doesn’t slip into the finished game. Unique sentences of bland writing are the least helpful thing to use for that purpose!

Before the Game Awards in LA last week, a US video game workers union turned up to protest. "Anyone who works in the games industry can identify that our art form is being sold for parts to make a few people a lot of money." @alyssamerc.bsky.social reports www.theguardian.com/games/2025/d...

"You really made a 4 hour video?" No, I wrote a 7 hour video, then cut it down, and if you donate to our fundraiser for Second Harvest Food Bank of Central Florida, you will receive access to exclusive bonus content as a thank you!

Wake up dead man rips

Someone should let me write star wars in exchange for currency

This is like paying the guys that robbed your house to also burn it down.

One of the many reasons AI can't produce good writing is it can't hate its own writing. It can't think to itself "Maybe I'm illiterate" during the writing process. And that's essential

watch this movie!

Movie I've watched more than 6 times with a gif.

My dad abhors any negative comments about immigrants. Asked him recently why he’s so strong on it: ‘Because we’re always happy to take the rich and clever ones. Which means it’s not about disliking immigrants. It’s about disliking the poor and vulnerable. And that’s a bad human instinct.’

Reminder that I'm still looking fulltime or contract work as a senior writer or narrative designer. If you need someone who can write sharp characters, poetic prose, and emotional stories, I'm available! You can find my portfolio here: www.hazelmonforton.com

Just started this game last night and I'm hooked. I'm gonna start begging my friends to play it so that I can yap about it!

Also USPS didn't loss money because it doesn't make money because it's not a business and if never makes money to begin with. It did however deliver over 112.5 billion pieces of mail in 2024 and that doesn't even include packages.

I’ll be streaming with famed American Girl Shoe Doll Designer Brennan Lee Mulligan!! Make sure to tune in Monday, Dec 8 at 6:30 PM CT on Twitch or YouTube! Drop any snack-related questions I should ask below : ) @brennanleemulligan.bsky.social

Instead of relying on wealthy donors, congressional candidate @katmabu.bsky.social is using a Twitch stream to raise money – and fight a federal indictment aftermath.site/kat-abughaza...

ICE raided a James Beard award winning restaurant & because the chef/owner was prepared, left emptyhanded:

He was the blueprint when I was a kid.

I'm now open to work and looking for my next role as a Writer or Game Designer in games, now that my contract has ended. I have worked on the award-nominated Civilization VII, and have many other indie and AA projects where I was responsible for content, systems and production.

Thanks so much to @startmenu.bsky.social for having me for their Winter Spectacular! This was my first time being asked to write a guest feature, and I’m really pleased with how it turned out! Blue Prince isn’t just my personal GOTY, it felt like THE game that captured the absurdity of 2025. 🏠🗝️🚪
