I wanna make like a bioshock type game but its a bunch of rich people that have all gone crazy from decades of AI sycophancy. Does that already exist?

Kat Abughazaleh used her campaign to try a lot of things that the party should been embracing a long time ago. The entire left coalition is better off because she ran.

Adam Baldwin was literally *the* guy who named GamerGate and made it go viral. It was just some loser 4chan/incel YouTuber shit before then. They spammed him to get his attention because they knew he’s also a psycho loser and they wanted to make it go viral, and he did it. And it worked.

when we fight we win

The enclosure of Yerba Buena Gardens didn’t stop us from leading a march to discuss our Game Workers’ Bill of Rights earlier this week — our way to fight for standardization across video game studios and employers that empower workers instead of breaking them down.

#WhatAGameDevLooksLike hey I'm Sherveen i've been in gamesa for 10 years and I do game design, tech art and production I also have been doing a lot of games organizing work recently, and I'm one of the organizers of the recently announced Game Workers Conference! Say hi if you see me around today!!

Do you work in games? Are you tired of corporate greed taking over our industry? Do you miss when industry events were by workers, for workers? The United Videogame Workers of CWA, in partnership with other unions and worker-centered organizations, announce the #GameWorkersConference. May 22-23 ❤️‍🔥

At this year’s DICE Awards, Ghost of Yōtei VA @erikaishii.bsky.social used their platform to demand that video game workers are treated fairly and with respect. If you want to be part of our fight to build a better industry, reach out and get connected with an organizer. Congratulations, Erika! 💪

The morally bankrupt Trump administration has partnered with another morally bankrupt authoritarian to declare an unprovoked war on Iran, already killing scores of civilians. We need an immediate vote from Congress on a War Powers Resolution. Then articles of impeachment.

I've reported 2-3 stories in my career that have sucked the spirit out of my body and this was one of them. But! Seeing the response of the fgc to help their brother genuinely put it right back. Im humbled to have been trusted with this. Help your neighbors friends those in need are all around you.

you know it's conference season when women feel fired up enough to publicly allude to the wild (derogatory) shit they've experienced in the games industry

I hope things in our industry change for the better in the future. I will not allow anyone to feel this way again.

Making a development thread for #UnionMadeJam this year. Going to spend Monday doing some idea generation before diving into something. My first thought is doing a Lovers-In-A-Dangerous-Spacetime / Voltron kind of idea. A co-op game where you work together to operate a big robot.

We want to see your vision of how the people can come together to fight for a brighter future, in your workplace, your neighborhood, your communities. The optional theme of the first #UnionMadeJam is "Solo El Pueblo Salva El Pueblo, Only We Can Save Us." Let's go!! itch.io/jam/union-ma...

Lots of regular degular, never-done-an-activism folks have been activated in recent months and are working alongside a bunch of seasoned, die-hard, been-tired-for-ten-years-or-more organizers, and you don't know all of those stories bc most people are moving with a bit of discretion in these times.

Don't forget to check out some amazing Black Femme Devs this Black History Month!!! 👩🏿‍💻🖤🎮 go.bsky.app/88aYGTF

its really crazy just to think about how much of recent history has been about wealthy and powerful people demanding access to the bodies of young girls

If bosses are trying to foist an LLM/gen AI into your gamedev pipelines, what you really need is either: * something fully authored by a human * a state machine * a purpose-built markov chain you'll never need THAT much data to do something procedural or automated. You actually WANT constraints

[extremely boss voice] everyone at the company is more or less ok with this

"save systems should dynamically handle object IDs and automatically populate the serialized data of every object that requires save states, and then for dialogue progression it needs to-" team cherry: WRONG. 1400 hardcoded fields in PlayerData.cs

Before the Game Awards in LA last week, a US video game workers union turned up to protest. "Anyone who works in the games industry can identify that our art form is being sold for parts to make a few people a lot of money." @alyssamerc.bsky.social reports www.theguardian.com/games/2025/d...
