Amazon super duper wanted ppl to talk about that ad and wow has that worked

I cannot say that I'm TERRIBLY surprised that a survey comprised exclusively of only ~500 GDC attendees reveals that people who are still getting their companies to pay 1000+ dollars to attend after years of mass layoffs skews heavily towards very very senior AAA leadership & management tbh

Pls enjoy Crumbs digging through leaves, falling over and wriggling himself free

Dunno what's worse, that the excuse was "Kojima will take a picture with anyone, he doesn'tcare who they are" or that this is someone who is is fan for whatever reason, to the point of calling him the "Jesus of video games"

If you're not speaking up bc you still want your games at the big show, fine. But then hire the Future Class alumni so they don't end up being punished as well as insulted. Most were voted for by their peers for doing the very thing they're doing now - speaking up against wrongs in the industry.

It's VCARB, bitch

NOBODY TALK TO ME IT'S LUMINES ARISE DAY I took the day off (unemployed) I cleared my calendar (nothing on it) Nobody talk to me! (nobody was)

The evil has been defeated!!!

I currently have no idea how to go on. I unexpectedly owe someone a large sum of money, I can't find a way to keep doing the job I love, my mentor fucked off from one day to the other. Today a friend said to me "you can't just do nothing" and I couldn't convey how the motor just isn't running

Went on a walk. Managed to find a bit of brightness and gratitude

Gorillaz feat. IDLES. Straight into my veins. Can they please make a full album together youtu.be/kJChWUcesJ4?...

Thank you Chantal for speaking up! Like she said, many ppl, especially marginalised devs, feel they can't afford to, so I'm hrateful for her courage

No, wait, this is great news. Square was also the last to go "NFTs are the future", so I'm assuming its all gonna be dead soon and nature is healing. I mean, if you ignore that ppl have to lose their jobs for this shortsighted bullshit www.videogameschronicle.com/news/square-...

when you're old enough that sth calling schmoyoho a "tiktok dj" hurts

Do any of you youths follow any streamers/content creators who do cute adventure/"wholesome" games? Bonus points for an understanding and appreciation of disability. Thanks!!

I LOVE shows like the Netflix cheerleading stuff or Pop Star Academy, but it's sth else to be working class and hear an 18yr old who's had professional dance lessons since age 3 say you choose whether you wanna be mediocre or not

Last week, 30 employees in the United Kingdom and Canada of GTA VI developer Rockstar working to organize for better working conditions were unexpectedly and unfairly dismissed. Linked below is a fundraiser to help them out in the coming weeks and days. actionnetwork.org/fundraising/...

NAME OF THE WILL has a NEW DEMO up for Steam Scream Fest 🤫 Hand drawn animation, HK-style. Really stunning imagery and imagination. There are some screenshots I'm itching to post, but I don't want to spoil them! Play the demo now! store.steampowered.com/app/2079920/...

every game review should be written by somebody who doesn’t just hate that specific genre but the very idea of games itself

It's cool how we keep proving over and over and over again that there's a significant market for narrative-heavy, character-driven, single-player experiences in video games and publishers just categorically refuse to believe us

Live your life so that ppl won't spontaneously cheer when you die

Do you know about a game being developed or maybe released right now that aims to do something good for society while being firmly in the entertainment game space, engaging as hell? We're curious to find peers #indiegames #indiedev #gamedev

You know it's time to get ready when the guy you just met finds out you're in games and says "so, I heard about Sweet Baby..."

Last night at a gig ppl found out I work in games and asked me what game had the best story and they were like "It's The Last Of Us, right?" and I went "ok, who here knows 1000xResist"😅

This whole thread. “Oh no, someone might eat food!” Good. That’s good. “They might buy something they like.” Cool. “They might get a treat!” Also cool.

I'm asking nicely for ppl to say sth nice about me, too🥺

"Unionisation efforts just signal to employers you don’t trust them" "Just profit share" Have you been in the industry these past three years? Some ppl just wanna marry the boot

LinkedIn comment section about Rockstar Union busting is giving Twitter. Absolute cesspit. It's 2025 and ppl really have no fear showing their whole arse even with their real name and employer attached

It’s his day.

Ah, what a good week. I love writing.

I'm actively waiting for Lumines Arise. I never actively wait for games. I know it comes out on the 11th but sometimes I check again just because. I'm fine, why?

Imagine getting a call from a family member at midnight because "what you said about AI was really hurtful" Well, I hope you're into hurt then, because I can keep going

I'm LISTENING

Just proof I've had the best taste for over 27 years, eyooo!!! Literally heard of this because there is a skeleton in Curse of Monkey Island with a badge that says 'ask me about Grim Fandango'

yeah, that's definitely what devs are missing these days, a sense of urgency. Everyone knows constantly feeling like you're about to lose your job ,esp in a job market such as this, is bound to produce top work

If MythicOwl sharing their pitchdeck publicly hadn't already been a super move, I would play the Truckful demo for that lighting alone. Damn. www.youtube.com/watch?v=qa0X...

Yesterday I crossed paths with the dude I had a massive crush on 20 years ago. He's of course actually as 0815 as they come, has never left our hometown, became an engineer, one conservative beach holiday a year. But you know, at a school where everyone was racist to me, he was just...pleasant.

I legitimately didn't know they were competing with Steam and it's crazy to me that they burnt so much money on what sounds like something with very little (or wildly misguided) market research.

I don't have LinkedIn Premium, so sometimes a person from a really exciting company will look at my profile and I will be like "yes??!! hello??? This MUST be because you want to give me work, what can I do for you???" Now, if I could come up with a less desperate version of this...
