The obvious math here is that his money COULD buy happiness for a lot of unhappy people, but he’s hoarding it. And unhappy people serve his ends. Like how Facebook favored content that made users unhappier because they then spent more time scrolling 🫩

They should be tried, hanged, and "their" wealth should trickle down to their victims.

Can confirm ICE seemingly did this without any real warning at a completely peaceful rally. It was fucking nurses and teachers and their families on a Saturday afternoon...

If your game has voice acting, then working with the voice actors is half of your writing process. It's not complete until you've heard it interpreted and reimagined by a voice actor. And they always reimagine it in ways that elevate the writing, in ways you never would have imagined yourself.

Don't look too close

Gamedev is serious business! A thread. Yesterday:

@rooflemongerreal.bsky.social plays Poly Figher! youtu.be/qRuTl54dvcM?... ''...its a straight up roguelike! Run based, upgrades, all that, but its still a fighting game too which is kinda crazy. Lets dig into [it] and show you why its so unique!'' #IndieGame #FightingGame #Roguelike #Steam

Got 2 copies of this at the Lorwyn Eclipsed prerelease, but not much else in green. Splashed for them in my red/black goblin deck and won every time I played one! 😍

Breaks my heart to share this, but today is my last day at The Verge and I am looking for work! I'd really like to stay in video games, preferably in some kind of journalistic capacity but I can do PR/Marketing and maybe even a lil Narrative Design. Please get in touch! www.ashparrish.com

My favorite super hero is Mark Ruffalo.

To all the new folks arriving from Twitter I have two words of advice... Indie games

The X-Men's favorite games:

A Black man was killed by ICE (off duty) in Los Angeles on New Year’s Eve. And like Renée Good, he was an American citizen. But most people have not heard about Keith Porter. I need y’all to realize this. Black people experience this lack of visibility all the time when it comes to being victims.

💵 MONEY for GAME? In 2026??? 💵 There have been more and more successful-game-devs-turned-game-funders popping up, so here's a lil' thread of some of the more recent ones I've seen. Hopefully this helps you get some $$$! 🔽

hi everybody! I'm urgently looking for full-time game writing/narrative design work. I'm a 6-year industry pro working with both AAA and indie studios on titles like Borderlands 4, Endoparasitic, and [REDACTED]. I also edit and consult! Updated portfolio is live on my new site: www.nessacannon.com

Except that it wouldn't look like a promoted ad for Advil. It would provide a definitive "Oh, you have a headache? Take fourteen Advil in the next hour!" There wouldn't be ad text, such as it is. It'd just respond definitively, and be totally wrong and dangerous. And it's already happening.

As we enter the New Year remember fear of making bad art is holding you back. Fear of people not liking your work is holding you back. Rejection is holding you back You'll make bad art, you'll have people not like your work, and you'll be rejected. Moving past it is half the job of being a creative

It’s new Edge day, and this issue I’ve doubled down on fighting games, checking out upcoming roguelike fighting game Poly Fighter and checking in on the state of SF6’s long game. Oh, and also a review of Where Winds Meet.

AAA games executives tonight you will be visited by three spirits

It's important to admit when you're wrong.

I don't have that kind of time. I think I'll pass and just watch One Piece. At least it's a One and Done.

“This 90s-inspired low-poly fighter might be the most inventive game of the year” Thanks @creativebloq.com.web.brid.gy

I had a wonderful chat with Montreal-based HeartLoop's @osamadorias.bsky.social and @muselle.bsky.social about their promising debut game, Poly Fighter. 🇨🇦 🎮 A single-player roguelike fighting game is such a fascinating concept, and I really enjoyed getting their insight into making it!

Gamedev friends, this is more proof that we are not to blame for the current state of our industry. These are the same executives that follow every trend blindly and ignorantly. Aggressive MTX, everything is a live service, DRM that only punish paying players, NFTs, and now AI. What a shitshow.

I can't believe that this is real...

Looking forward to reuniting with my fellow GDC panelists @ninfadp.bsky.social @drjclau.bsky.social @osamadorias.bsky.social to talk about unusual paths into and through the games industry during the @gamerella.bsky.social game jam! www.linkedin.com/posts/gamere...
