This kind of shit talking only works when you can walk the walk to back it up and Tim Sweeney just fired 1000 people because his infinite money printer isn't growing as fast as he wants it to.

Wake up, babe. New touchstone games media par just dropped.

Still not easy to even begin talking about the arc of Generation Exile, but I couldn't ask for finer folks than @kirkhamilton.com @midimyers.com & @jasonschreier.bsky.social to chat with about how that better part of a decade went, esp. given where things ended up: maximumfun.org/episodes/tri...

7 months to go

Oh well heck if this ain't one cool video game!

This is Cabs Of Chaos. 🚕 A driving game where you compete with other taxis to pick up passengers & drop them off in the fastest and most chaotic ways possible. It’s now officially in full production & I’ll be looking for playtesters soon. So, if this looks like your kind of thing, let me know. 👇🏻

After a length of development that - if I truly, deeply thought about it, I would instantly go insane as if I'd opened some Lovecraftian skin-bound tome - our narrative city-builder Generation Exile has launched out of Early Access into full 1.0 today! store.steampowered.com/app/2963240/...

Have you been waiting for me to upload my slides for my talk at GDC, 'Pacific Drive' Under the Hood: Survival Fundamentals, Systems Design and Speeding Past Tropes? Well, here they are! Quick little thread 🧵 because a bit more context than fits in this post is needed... Download links below ⬇️

A video game! It comes out! April 17th for GenExile's 1.0 release as part of Earth Appreciation Fest on Steam.

avi lewis as ndp leader is worth it even if it’s just for him to talk sense to the media on how they cover canada post. i love this.

Ah heck yeah, this awesome event is back at a new time of year! If you have a cool video game you want to show to cool people in Vancouver, you should submit said cool game because I'd be stoked to see it.

Any use of genAI always reads to me like: “We just used a little bit of shit in our cake because we couldn’t afford chocolate.”

formal proposal of a replacement for the vince mcmahon meme format

Damn this was a great game

How about fewer dollars *spring* from your wallet but your still get the same cool video game??

It feels almost passé to goof on this garbage... but no, the proposition of "Rather than appearing as their creators intended, games can instead look the way our slop machine nursed on porno and IG filters thinks everything should!" is so crass and also stupid, you gotta goof on it, actually.

We just released the the next major content update for Generation Exile and this time, we put together a developer explainer highlighting some of the new things added in this update. In this case, the "developer" doing the "explaining" is me. You're welcome and also I'm sorry. youtu.be/CVepTn2Bv_Q

Another shot from my Mirror’s Edge-inspired scene. I’ve updated the lighting and post-process to bring back a cooler blue tone while still maintaining the impression of bright sunlight.

in Canada we have a store called "Canadian Tire" and you're probably thinking "a store named after a tire definitely has a circle for a logo" but no, you're wrong. they chose a colossal red triangle

And I guess some people don't even get there after 40 years, EH SAMUEL??

"The ketamine addict told employees the factory would be powered by 'grinding up the bones of the shrivelled goatmen that live in tunnels below moon's polar mountains.' The Times has yet to verify this claim."

It is absolutely wild that Firewatch came out a decade ago today. I don't think any of us then could even get close to fathoming the ways it which it would resonate with people. I'm still unspeakably grateful to anyone who spent time in this (lightly fictional) corner of the place I grew up.

It's important to assume the CEO of Nexon is staggeringly full of shit, actually

Hundreds of protesters in the pouring rain at Hootsuite headquarters in Vancouver over ICE contract youtu.be/ZeobfcYg18M?...

If you're in Vancouver and think it's morally repugnant for a Canadian company to be signing contracts to support ICE "public relations," come join at 111 East 5th Ave at 3pm *today* to let @hootsuite.com know this is indefensibly vile.

“Everyone should be allowed to carry a gun for their safety but the government can murder you in the street if you have a gun” is an incredible endpoint for the conservative moment

Sometimes you write an update about your video game and saying that a pernicious crash has been fixed or the frame rate is a bit more stable now. And sometimes you write, "... much to the chagrin of perverts everywhere" in the Steam news post instead. store.steampowered.com/news/app/296...

[AI bubble bursts] billionaire tech bro: the stupid consumer did not understand it

I've genuinely listened to this at least five times a day for the last 3 days: www.youtube.com/watch?v=I5XR...

Attacking a data center like it’s The Bastille, everyone fleeing with a bushels of RAM to desolder and resolder the chips. One peasant coded guy with a wheelbarrow of SFP+ modules. Manifesting this for 2026.

If you pay attention to any large industry long enough and follow it to its logical conclusion you eventually end up sounding like a communist even if you started off testing CPU case fans. youtu.be/cUrJVdF2me0?...

We spoke to a dozen professional concept artists who are currently or have previously worked in game development about whether generative AI image tools have made their jobs any easier. Zero said it did. Most said it made things harder. thisweekinvideogames.com/feature/conc...
