Please know that you are always welcome to spam me with your Final Fantasy Tactics thoughts. ESPECIALLY if you're playing it for the first time.

the flotilla of humanitarians trying to bring aid to Gaza is being attacked in international waters www.youtube.com/shorts/cjw-h...

Playing FF Tactics for the first time? Here’s a tip. Go to Mandalia Plain. You’re gonna spend 5 miserable hours having all your characters power up like goku next to a terrified bird or have them throw rocks at each other until they’re max level. This is the best game ever made btw.

Reminder that the Xbox BDS boycott includes Kojima Productions’ OD

A study has found that AI 'workslop', where coworkers use AI and their colleagues have to spend time fixing it, is taking over workplaces. Workers said that they thought of their colleagues who filed low-quality AI work as "less creative, capable, and reliable." www.404media.co/ai-workslop-...

Ireland just released a report showing the huge success of the unconditional basic income it provided to artists. Each $1 spent led to society gaining $1.39. Artists' earned incomes went up more than their side job incomes fell. And they were happier and used less welfare www.gov.ie/en/departmen...

"They say that every shipped, successful game is a miracle." Nah. WE say that every shipped game is a miracle - whether it succeeds or not, because we're here FIRST to make games, not money.

it’s okay if a conservative tries to kill me I’ll just get on the nearest public transit to lose them

I've been shown a lifetime of oddities in a day.

reminder that Disney+ has still been on the Palestinian BDS boycott list for over a year. You should continue the pressure and continue withholding your money from them.

there is something to say about how these game developer events are aiming to take the developer out of the festivities

This is horrifying on so many levels. I've given to the fundraiser for Leqaa Kordia's legal fees, and I hope others will join me: chuffed.org/project/free...

22-year-old Ward Sakeik, a Palestinian woman who has lived in Texas since she was 9, says her experience in federal detainment could only be identified as “human trafficking.” And she’s not staying quiet about the women she was forced to leave behind. thebarbedwire.com/2025/09/22/w...

I'm happy to see Silent Hill F is getting good reviews but also this description on Steam is hilarious I hate it when my hometown is engulfed in fog and I'm driven to solve eerie puzzles

Disney adults canceling subscriptions, vacations, etc really are making the Harry Potter adults that threw a fit over a $60 video game look like huge bitches

This is so fucking cool?????

I've seen the calls for a blackout, and it is the wrong way to go about it. BlueSky have stated that the TOS will evolve in response to feedback; give them that. Stand up for creators, ask for better labelling tools, and that they ensure that legal 18+ content won't be subject to censorship.

What... What is happening?

As you cancel streaming services, here is a casual reminder that only 16% of Americans read for pleasure anymore, and your local library has hundreds or thousands of books you haven't read. They would love to see you stop by and renew your library card.

Marcus and I were on the same team for years, and I got to see firsthand how he facilitates thoughtful and intentional game design at every stage of development. Absolutely hire him if you can.

Friends and colleagues, I was impacted by the Xbox layoffs back in July. I'm am starting my job search in earnest now. Feel free to contact me with any opportunities in game design leadership and creative direction. (Or any other game design opportunities. Can't be too picky these days.)

...Please, a moment. My body is not... cooperating.

Today is the feast day of Hildegard von Bingen (1098-1179), here surrounded by plants & a mineral she touted as medical treatments, her invented alphabet & model of the universe. One of my most popular prints this year! 🧪🐡👩🏼‍🔬 #histsci #histmed Her writings preserve not only her own knowledge & 🧵

On June 24, I began my Election Night speech by quoting Mandela: “It always seems impossible until it’s done.” That's the spirit of this campaign, and our city. This is "Until It’s Done,” a new series about New Yorkers who refused to accept that a worthy goal was impossible.

A lot of my followers and general sphere understands this but it's really important we recognize that even if we don't like some art for personal moral reasons, we need to defend its right to exist. We went from no rape to no cat ears in less than two months. Everyone who warned about this was right

Why single him out? Everyone lies, surely you know that. Whether they are dark sorcerers or corrupt clergy, they all lie, and we believe. Am I wrong?

I hope people understand that the anomaly here aren’t the conditions—the conditions are very typical—the anomaly is that they put a number of documented workers from a high-income country in those conditions. This is how people are treated in custody routinely
