*TRUMP’S GLOBAL TARIFFS STRUCK DOWN BY US SUPREME COURT

I don't know what game this is, but importing the Space Marine 2 character models into it was genius.

JFC this is a dumb take. According to Maya we should abandon: Shakespeare Tolkien Carol Lewis Stoker Homer Etc.. How sad and empty would such a world be?

Make bad game: Studio shut down Make many good games: Sorry, studio still shut down How can anyone pretend this system actually works anymore?

“Is there a technology the left is excited about?” High-speed rail! MRNA vaccines! New cancer treatments! Solar and wind energy collection! Better and longer-range EVs! That wood that's harder than steel! New apples! Fibermaxxing! Buldak Swicy ramen! Muppets! Muppets are too a technology, shut up!

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

Age verification? I used The Internet before The World Wide Web existed.

I think MicroCenter misjudged demand for the Nvidia GDX Spark (the AI machine) and bought too many that aren't moving. I get a promo email from them now at least once a week promoting it.

Some people suffer from FOMO. Not me. I suffer from FOBI. Fear Of Being Included Please don't add me to your group texts....

I’d say the first half as it established much of the template that the second half is built on.

This hits HARD

I just saw this instagram post from the incredibly talented and breathtakingly hilarious Kate Welch, who was laid off around a year ago, and I wanted to share it here. It’s an important message, and you deserve to read it: (thread)

The Producer Discourse going around the last day or two reminds me of the concept of Glue Work... Work that is both deemed essential, and pointless because it doesn't always produce output. www.noidea.dog/glue

Please oh please oh please…

One of these is going to be about 40min south of where I live.... Yay Texas :P

Five jobs I’ve had 1. Game Developer 2. Network Security Engineer 3. Computer lab manager 4. Farm hand 5. Telemarketer

Behind (almost) every beloved auteur is a team of incredibly talented, often marginalised people who will be jettisoned into unprotected obscurity the minute their work draws even the lightest criticism towards the person taking all the credit 🤷

The community of a game is in many ways a by-product of that game's design, and of design considerations that need to be thought of at the beginning if you want to be intentional about them. When you're designing a multiplayer game you are also designing your game's community and social space

I'm facing a potential furlough in the next few weeks if we can't land new work quickly. So I'm starting a soft job hunt as a Plan B. I'm a Producer & Team Lead with nearly 20 years in game dev, 15 years in leadership roles, 10 in production specifically. www.linkedin.com/in/michaelcr...

This year will mark 20 years as a professional game dev. Every Monday I'm calling out someone who has had a profound impact on my career and life. Week 1: Kristen Hatcher www.linkedin.com/feed/update/... Week 2: Dan Prigg www.linkedin.com/feed/update/... #2026_Awesome_People

I feel the need to punch Nazis. Time to reinstall Indiana Jones and the Great Circle. Quality Nazi-punching action.

Movie you’ve watched more than six times with a gif. Hard Mode: No Star Wars/Trek/LOTR/MCU I don’t know how it started but at some point any time The Shawshank Redemption was on cable my family would stop what they were doing to watch it. I still watch it at least once a year.

BREAKING: Staggering scenes as brave Iranians stand up to their illegitimate government in Tehran... um, hang on, I'm being told this is actually Minneapolis. Forget I said anything...

I was spinning some friends as fast as I could on one of those old metal merry go rounds. At one point someone was getting sick and wanted to stop. I foolishly grabbed it to slow it down. I was flung about 20ft I was 22.

Hi, I'm Mike, a Game Producer and team leader with 19 years of experience in game development. I'm a people-first leader that believes a team that is well cared for, supported by the right process, will make the best game. I've shipped 15+ titles in my career on PC, Console, VR, Mobile, and Web.

OK... it took literally all day but I've got my secondary PC dual-booting into Linux (Pop! OS) and am going through setup and getting first games on there to see how this will work out. It's still being pretty twitchy about things (headphone jack on motherboard works but not on front of case)

If Russia charged Trump with crimes, would they be entitled to send military forces to abduct Trump to stand trial back in Russia?

Everyone's been saying "Linux is great for gaming now! Ditch Win11!" so this morning I decided to set up my spare PC to dual-boot. On trying to install Bazzite I get a black screen and nothing else. As an added bonus, after restarting I can no longer boot into Windows...

How is this not an act of war? How is it legal without congress declaring war?

The final Calvin and Hobbes, which appeared in papers 30 years ago today.

Heading into 2026, I'm still looking for fulltime or contract work as a senior writer or narrative designer. If you need someone who can write sharp characters, poetic prose, and emotional stories, I'm available! You can find my portfolio here: www.hazelmonforton.com

I'm so excited! This year my two nieces expressed interest in D&D. They both have D&D clubs at their schools, but didn't sign up in time so missed out. They know Elisa and I love D&D so we've been talking about it since Thanksgiving...

I did it. I survived Whamageddon. First time in years!

Last day of work for the year. Tomorrow I start my holiday cooking marathon. First up: Pizzelles

i stand by this statement every year

Thank god for Flute Guy

Why do the say Invoke is a new Wizards Studio? They are Tuque Games renewed. They made the most recent Dark Alliance game in 2021

One of my favorite bits of the holiday season… Sauce Day! Making 12qt of my Great Grandma’s spaghetti sauce

Putting together our annual Christmas LEGO set

Is there a good alternative to Wirecutter for product reviews? I’m never giving NYT a dime and they aggressively limit how may free pageviews I get a month.

Ok. Season 2 of Dispatch when?

I’m a few weeks late to the party but holy crap… Dispatch is good

Share a tv series you’ve watched all the way through more than once or something.

I've used TurboTax for most of my adult life. That may be changing when it comes time to do next year's taxes...

Fuck cancer

Can we spend the next 3 years harassing Trump and every GOPer with "But his e-mails!" ? That sound fair to everyone? Good. Ok. Lets do this.
