Hey! I have no idea how to do this, I’ve never made a List or Starter Pack before, but: ⭐️ If you’re a Games Writer/Narrative Designer looking for work, and you’d like to be added to my Starter Pack, lmk! ⭐️ If you’re looking to hire a Games Writer/Narrative Designer, check out this Starter Pack!

Autogame Deluxe never fails to make me laugh out loud whenever I play it. It is such a wonderful blend of chaos and skill. It has no business being this fun. It also has no business being this affordable! Get it while the sale lasts! GO GO GO!

Just a reminder to check for your name in this list of books that OpenAI trained from. If your name is there, they probably owe you several thousand dollars. OpenAI cried that if everyone eligible author files, the company will go bankrupt, so I'm alerting every author I have ever spoken to.

Hi! I was laid off from Firaxis this morning. I wrote leaders and civs for Civilization VII (NDA for now) and Deadpool and Storm for Marvel's Midnight Suns. I also wrote the award-nominated Hindsight. I'm available for full time, remote work starting ASAP. DMs are open: emmkid.info

I decided to NOT submit my talk proposals for GDC2026. I think I have some killer topics, but it's impossible to tell what kind of country I'd be visiting in 7 months.

As true mastery and skills become rarer through AI reliance ,they become more valuable and harder to acquire. Thus the way to survive beyond AI is to focus on the hard skills that AI promises to replace. This is the 'AI Mastery Paradox'.

ATTENTION INDIEDEVS Show off your art style

Our #stroopwafel stockpiles are dwindling, my fellow #gdc25 goers! But fear not! Even on this last day of @officialgdc.bsky.social, everyone I'll meet today will receive a complimentary, real Dutch stroopwafel! Have a great one!

For stroopwafels: be on the lookout for a green hoodie and the following Pokémon

First rule of #gdc: when a Dutch person offers you a #stroopwafel, you take it. It's day 4 of #gdc25 and I'm looking forward to great meetings and awesome talks today! If you see me wandering in West/South Hall, come say hi and receive a delectable stroopwafel!

I like to call this look Showcase Chic

It's happening! #gdc
