Not to be the fun police but I do hope people know that Arc Raiders does use generative AI for voice acting, and by supporting the game you're letting higher-ups know that this is an okay practice. They try to downplay this on the Steam store page by describing the AI usage as vaguely as possible.

I’m so sorry

pre-writing a devastating obituary for your enemy is god-tier hating of a kind you don’t often see anymore. renaissance haterism. beautiful stuff.

I will beg you all time, and time, and time again: Play 1000xRESIST. It is one of the best storytelling titles we have in the artful medium of video games.

hello game dev community, i am looking to interview a few people who have been in the industry for 5+ years and are comfortable in the role they chose for themself in their career. i want to hear from everyone, producers, engineers, narrative, community managers, etc. !!!

One thing we hear consistently about despelote is how much its writing resonates with people around the world—it's a personal story, in the best way. See for yourself: ⚽️ despelote.game

i’m not deleting Future Class from my bio. they might have deleted the archives, but they can’t take that achievement away from me. Geoff was not involved in the process at all, and so he gets no say on whether i can still claim being inducted into the first class.

EXCLUSIVE on @gamedeveloper.bsky.social: not only has The Game Awards not nominated a Future Class for 2025, it's told alumni it "does not have any active programming plans" for the award. The Future Class page was taken down sometime this year—eliminating a definitive archive of honorees.

I fully believe in the corporate death penalty and believe we would be a better world if OpenAI lost its corporate charter and was forcibly dissolved. www.cnn.com/2025/11/06/u...

i've never before experienced the energy of being in a writer's room, and let me say that it's truly one of my favorite things in the world now. being in a room with other incredibly smart people whom you respect and admire, brainstorming with them, weaving a tale together... ;_; i feel very lucky

6 days left to buy the Watcher plushie and get us to 200% funded!!! if you haven't bought her yet, what are you waiting for? 🤨

the way I fell off my chair when I was informed we weren't even given a free ticket to The Game Awards we were being "inducted" at so they were using our names+photos for their own self promotion..but the best we got was 10% off ticket prices? then i heard they were giving em out for free to non-FC

[PLEASE RT] If you worked on an aid bundle on itch.io could you please reply? @spritewrench.com and I are hopefully going to start working on one for Jamaica after Hurricane Melissa! (Also if you're interested in adding your game, reply as well!)

Geoff Keighley's Future Class leaves a messy legacy https://kotaku.com/game-awards-2025-future-class-tgas-geoff-keighley-2000641757

I had the privilege to mentor 2023 honoree rising star @rinoaskyes.bsky.social through a mentorship program that, to my understanding, ran only for that cohort. She deserves so much better than being used for performative clout and cast aside. This is deeply disappointing and baldly transparent.

The Game Awards' Future Class program remains on ice

never a good time to join the chorus of the unemployed but my current only contract is wrapping up SOON! 🥹 if you need an experienced community or socials person who is connected to online spaces/fandom and creates welcoming and fun communities, I’m your guy! 🙏❣️

🚨 CNBC: "Announced corporate job cuts surging past 1 million so far this year, with 153,000 new layoffs just in October according to Challenger. That is the worst October since 2003."

accolades are important to marginalized folks. not being able to access even an archived post hosted by TGA website kinda sucks ass. not to mention how bad of a look it is to just destroy 5 years of "hey look at us we're uplifting 50 incredible devs" to "don't look don't look"

A busy first day as your Mayor-elect: early morning interviews, transition announcements and meetings. More to say on all of it tomorrow. But a highlight was lunch with my Congresswoman @aoc.bsky.social at Laliguras Bistro in Jackson Heights.

Folks who make video games! @officialgdc.bsky.social is running the annual State of the Industry survey again. You should take the chance to weigh in! The survey's gone through a major overhaul this year and your voice will matter even more: gdconf.typeform.com/SOTI26

Beshear: Let me be clear. The president has both the funding and the authority to fund snap during a shutdown. In fact, every other president in every other shutdown has done so. People going hungry in this instance is a choice that this president has made.

Watching Mamdani's victory speech, I'm struck by his—and his campaign's—unabashed vision of the US as an immigrant society, a culture built from the ground up from diversity. It is a complete rejection and reversal of the search for a white-washed homogeneity that the political right projects.

Abandoning our trans sisters and brothers and pretending we're not a beautiful nation of immigrants is a losing strategy and I'm moved to tears that this is so evident tonight.

Mamdani: "New York will remain a city of immigrants, a city built by immigrants, powered by immigrants, and as of tonight, led by an immigrant."

Mamdani: "I wish Andrew Cuomo only the best in private life but let tonight be the final time I utter his name."

Reminder that this is a winning position, and people support it

Good things are possible and we don’t have to settle.

mamdani is human. he'll fuck up and fail, especially with a hostile press and the giant mess that is nyc's politics. but today is a great day for the brave women who told what cuomo did, and for those of us who care that it should matter. that power shouldn't go to those who hurt the poweless.

[Exit Clown.]

not the point but zohran mamdani is a very beautiful man… cheers to not having ugly decrepit white men win elections, may it be like this again and again in the future ☺️💖

it's obviously important that zohran won. but it's equally important that cuomo and the despicable, racist, contemptuous, arrogant, loathesome forces arrayed behind him were brutally defeated. they banked on new yorkers hating and fearing each other. and they lost. what a town.

Zohran was polling at six percent in January. Nothing is impossible

i hope every immigrant gets a little kiss on the forehead tonight and feels good about themselves

i feel like crying lmao this felt so much bigger than New York and i am so, so relieved and happy that we still have reason to hope

New Yorkers are HITTING THOSE POLLS. It's the highest turnout in about two decades.

A few days after the presidential election one year ago, we went to Fordham Road in the Bronx. It was a little different last week.

What makes Mafia: The Old Country so remarkable is a historically charged script that seeks to understand the conditions that birthed the mafia. I spoke to the Hangar 13 team about the Italian labor issues and political unrest that are inseparable from the mafia. www.polygon.com/mafia-the-ol...
