Death of the Author: An Alan Wake Series Retrospective youtu.be/RRh3r_AhUw0

YEAH, THAT'S RIGHT! I HAVE WRITTEN A NEW ARTICLE! this one's a bit weird; rather than doing my usual "trying to organize my thoughts and building a winding case that builds on itself," I decided to show you what my EARLY article creation process looks like: docseuss.medium.com/some-loosely...

Over 200 Rockstar staff have written to management in support of unfairly fired union members. We have published more details on our website, although we have not yet released the exact contents of the letter: www.gameworkers.co.uk/rockstar-ope...

Go get 'em!

i spoke to LOADS of people about this very recently, and the only people using it regularly were the dipshits in charge

Tencent-owned Sharkmob announces "difficult but necessary" restructuring, work to continue on extraction shooter Exoborne www.gamesindustry.biz/sharkmob-con...

Absolutely essential viewing from @chrisbratt.bsky.social on Rockstar’s sackings, which appear to be the single most flagrant example of union busting in the history of the videogames industry. Rockstar has provided absolutely zero evidence to support any of their claims. youtu.be/c9nOwjeznjI?...

I sometimes help the local café out (chucking bean bags and machinery around. Testing new roasts if they let me) and so far my understanding is that they know more about chemistry and engineering than I ever will.

Grateful to say: I've returned to Blackbird Interactive for the next step of Hardspace! Shipbreaker is about the place of labor in our society. I think it's important to make media that examine that, and possibly imagines a better future. Plus, blowing stuff up might be cathartic for all of us....

Still one of my favourite "throwing big sweaty iron balls around" circuits. Would love to try this with half of my bw (50ish) but we only have a 40kg after this 32kg bell and the one after that jumps all the way up to 64kg and has a diameter and handle from hell.

For some reason the media is not mentioning that the reason GTA6 is being delayed is they fired 40 staff over threats of unionization and now the rest of their staff are revolting

Everything about making video games is harder than you think.

new GTA6 release date

If you're in gamedev, having spaces to talk to peers can help a ton, whether its just talking shit, sharing resources, war stories, or just feeling less alone. You're welcome to come join my community. No weirdos. We have a private games-industry area, verified access only mee6.xyz/i/uByb9ch43b

I want my old unsolicited biz proposal mails back, now every third one is something something AI. 🙄

The goal is not to replace QA with AI. It's to drive down the wages of QA even further than they already are

NEW: After my last piece about what's slowing down game development, folks wrote in to ask "why didn't you talk about bad leadership?" It uhhhh never came up. So I returned to the well and asked devs to explain why better leadership—not AI or any other tool—is vital to efficient game development.

In one of the most shameless instances of union-busting Rockstar Games fired 30+ IWGB union members for NO OTHER REASON than to terrorize & silence them. Join the IWGB protest! Demand reinstatement! 📅 Thursday, 6 November 🕙 8:00 AM - 9:00 AM 📍Take-Two House, 30 Cleveland Street, London, W1T 4JD

Was zum Fick ist Männers händemittwoch???

He should have died in The Hague.

SAG-AFTRA stands in solidarity with the IWGB Game Workers Union exercising their right to organize following reports of union-busting at Rockstar. Our members’ union performances on Rockstar games are an integral part of the success and legacy of games like Grand Theft Auto.

thank you for all the support; the statement from our union is now live here with some more reporting. now that this is public I can confirm that the majority of today’s layoffs were women of color. there are no longer any Black women working at Teen Vogue.

Very important factor to this

Last day before getting back to strongman focused stuff. Feeling pretty good about hitting 80kg for a double on the ohp despite not having done any heavy pressing during the bodybuilding break.

Time to Helluva Boss Soundtrack during kettlebell training. 😎

You will die. You will not live forever. Nor will any man nor any thing. Nothing is immortal. But only to us is it given to know that we must die. And that is a great gift: the gift of selfhood. For we have only what we know we must lose, what we are willing to lose.

Time to assemble a polycule of hot gay eco-terrorists and kill god, just as it is written in the videogames 🙏

the fucked up part of ai is that it's built by programmers, so all the ai programming tools are made to assist programmers, and work far better than you'd think meanwhile, ai art tools are always about "replacing" artists instead since these ai people see dealing with artists as a waste of time

If you see this, quote with a robot that isn't from "Star Wars", "Star Trek", "Doctor Who", or "Transformers".

Oh hey, it's out! Yeah, buy this bundle and get Adios and a bunch of other very cool games

This is a good piece but god almighty is it sad, sad, sad

For gamers who aren't in game dev, you should know that we are in one of the worst periods in game dev history in terms of industry stability and the reason you're not seeing that play out through products is because the average development window of games is 3-7 years so it hasn't reached you yet.

Ah yes, feeling good about my arms today, gonna make a little pushup video after my main workout. My lordosis powered ass:

New YouTube policy announced cracking down on online gambling and skin gambling, but it's also targeting 'graphic violence' in video games and will begin age restricting videos of "mass violence against non-combatants". So every GTA6 release day video

They are also intentionally conflating machine-learning and generative AI slop to confuse and try to make GenAI seem necessary. Google Maps traffic stuff is machine learning, not GenAI, for example. Auto-correct is too. Don't let them make you lose the thread. GenAI slop is slop.

Ohhh yeeeahhh

Hate when it's already dark before I even get to the gym. Seasonal depression gonna go brrrrrr...

Please read our statement, share it with your networks, and support us if you can. www.python.org/sponsors/app... psfmember.org/civicrm/cont...

Just finished Eclipsium. Enjoyed it. Recreates the feeling of an ever shifting dream you are stumbling through very well.

I don't feel comfortable asking for help without proving my worth, so please help only if you're a fan of my writing at docseuss.medium.com If you tip more than $500 you can request a single player game but please run it by me first

Feeling a bit vindicated by this review. Hat a bunch of people accuse me of unduly engrandising the anime series. When I was a teen I was friends with a bunch of kids from violent households that child protection services put together in a semi self managed gov housing project.
