Dear Team Cherry: You were so concerned with whether you could, you didn't stop to ask whether you should. Signed, The Person Dying On the Nth round of a Mob Battle P.S. save something for new game+ guys

Yeah, the fact that the organizational structures (business admin) now run the show, instead of the subject matter experts, is a legitimate problem. Imagine hiring a payroll company, and then finding out they fired you and took over the business, with no idea of how to do it.

I mean yes this is funny, but the fact that these unconstitutional stormtroopers are so directionless that they literally stand around waiting for random nonwhite delivery guys to bike past them is just pathetic. No mandate, no mission, no clue. Just racism.

Brad Pitt knocking out Gorgeous George in Snatch is quietly one of the best moments in cinema history.

Trump calling Portland "war ravaged" is truly the statement of a man rejected from serving because of bone spurs.

"Cocaine is just marijuana with a business plan." - overheard in Portland tonight

if only real life was as easy as "uncheck this box"

You don't hate doing things with people. You hate transitioning from "not doing things" to "doing things."

Daniel Day Lewis was happily retired, until he realized he hadn't had a turn killing Sean Bean.

Living a moral life in an age of bullies requires collective action; it cannot be done alone. Each of us must organize and participate in a vast network of moral resistance. From this solidarity we will grow stronger. This is what our current moment requires.

Holy SHIT 💀

YouTube, I don't appreciate what you're implying. @brennanleemulligan.bsky.social @dropout.tv @criticalrole.bsky.social

"Please, I haven't been called 'Silly Billy' since I was a child. It's Dr. Silly William now."

Have played further. Beat Sister Brambles-Her-Name. Am on the Widow now. Very charming boss but the last (?) chaos phase is just frustrating and unfun.

The three types of game dev job listings

ever since microsoft's layoffs in early july, the two zenimax unions have been fighting for impacted employees following the cancellation of the elder scrolls online studio's unannounced mmo. they've won laid-off workers more time (aka more pay), better severance, recall rights, and saved some jobs

A game design rant about Silksong. tldr: It's time to put the Dark Souls "lose all your (souls) on death" mechanic to bed.

Profile.

Silksong: I can't tell if it's actually difficult, or if it's just normal difficult and I'm "normal not good at it." Some of the bosses do feel needlessly taxing. Like, "I get it, I got the patterns, why are we doing another round with minions?" Slight spoiler:

I am compelled to say that what happened to Charlie Kirk was horrific and shouldn't have happened, and also this horror has been carried out on the bodies of countless schoolchildren for my entire adult life. It is terrible every time.

There is, as of right now, no coverage of this protest on the WaPo website or in their @washingtonpost.com feed. So, if you (you reading this) want people to SEE this protest, you must share it.

Lmao good shit

I'm beginning to develop what I can only describe as "Silksong Claw."

Hit a very strange bug in Silksong.

Someone in @societyofplay.bsky.social posted this this morning. #silksong

Ursula K. LeGuin on technology

every time Google docs offers to “help me write”

If you have played any GTA, this exactly fits within the ironic, pop art nihilism that world is made of. The problem is irony is usually lost on people.

Someone wrote "rationality is a feeling" and I get where they're going, and I support it, but also no rationality is a practice or set of beliefs about how you come to conclusions you cannot feel "rationality" the gotcha games have gotten to the point that we're bending spacetime now

“Ok, so I can’t make jewelry, but I’m great at disarming an alarm system and smashing glass cases”

The code for this is writing itself in my head while I'm trying to do other things and I did NOT consent to this, Brain, thank you.

Today I PAX. I PAX so much.

People saying Trump is dying or possibly dead, but I for one would urge caution, because it is quite possible a second healtbar will appear as he enters his second phase and a gargantuan centipede will burst forth from his torso, so be careful of his new sweep attacks and toxic buildup from bites.

regardless of what happens to the tariffs, they're doomed from the start because the average conservative holds all three of these positions at once: — virtue signals about supporting US manufacturing — against increasing the minimum wage — buys foreign imports because they're cheap

Tiny tangent on the AI thing: This is why AI art (whether images, or text, or video) has that vaguely alien feel to it. "Generative AI art" is just another kind of "synopsizing what you've seen before." "I'm going to take all these patterns and remix them." Again, the genius in the box example:

I've had a thing in my head about AI that won't come out right. Maybe it won't come out right here. Let's try.

Democrats will do anything to avoid helping working class people.

Today in Society of Play, a fresh-out-of-high-school gamedev mentioned they wanted to "live life so I won't regret it when I look back on it." As someone who decided at 18 to do exactly that and has been doing for the last 20+ years this is what I've learned so far.

And building off my posting this on a Discord elsewhere, a brilliant comment in response: "He was so hot you'd have an existential crisis if he stayed over at your place."

Yesterday I went to the gym and there was a cat person working out. They had cat ears on, and a little cat (fox?) tail on their backpack. They were standing on a metal can (like a can of veggies, on just one foot), doing rope exercises. Think the ball-and chain weapon from Kill Bill.

Just found @leatalbot.bsky.social, @joshuadoetsch.bsky.social and @kristinakraah.bsky.social (three of the members of the Dune: Awakenings narrative team) and this thread is entirely about saying what a phenomenal job they (and the rest of the narrative team) are doing.

Your colleague is publicly harassing one of our staff members on the assumption that misinformation that you published is true, despite us providing you with details descriptions of how our internal systems work in various bluesky threads over the past day. We did not blanket deindex yuri content.
