I know this is bleak but it has to be said, it's not even a week after the big games events and both Unisoft and MS are swinging the axe again. THIS ISN'T SUSTAINABLE!

Had discussed with a friend how Asha had spent the last few months “saying the right things” but they were ultimately meaningless gestures if they weren’t going to tangibly improve support for their studios. So here we have the most profitable company in the world laying people off again.

In theory, "advanced placement" course in high schools are meant to give students a head start on college-level work, but in practice these courses serve as *replacements* for that college-level work, and very poor ones at that.

As someone who was there when GB was a WordPress and subscribed for ten years, respectfully: whatever struggle you feel in your coverage doesn't compare to my field in translation being decimated by this and precursor tech. If I HAVE to live with less work and pay, you CAN live without one game.

i would say this as a concept artist watching my craft get completely eradicated from greed and laziness, watching my peers default on loans or move back home over total job loss, but even just as a normal-ass gal it's kind of a bummer to hear "looks fun, im still gonna play it"

A reminder that the only answer to "did you use AI to develop this game" that will gain you goodwill instead of get you paraded as money-hungry ghouls is "absolutely the fuck not, we take pride in our craft" www.rockpapershotgun.com/tomb-raider-...

If you don't care enough about your product to actually craft it then why should we care to engage with it

since we’re talking about bari again

désolé mais ça c'est giga malaise, pour des raisons évidentes... ils ont réussi à faire pire que le premier 💀

gotta age that protag up playboy

assaulting a woman is a minor vice, scolding a man is unforgivable

I waited a while to write this one. The time finally felt right.

I think there's something hypnotic about how corporations view brands vs how humans do

Your use of AI also helped me decide more efficiently that I won't buy your game.

Oh. Would have liked to have played that. Oh well, lots of other games are coming out that don't steal from other creators and harm the planet.

glad to see everyone calling this out, very unexcited to see everyone play it when it comes out and any mention of this is met with a tepid non-response or "it's pretty good though =/"

Sarah’s book is jaw-dropping, and Meta has been pulling this clown shit for over a year. As the article points out, it’s clearly a personal vendetta rather than good crisis comms. Too bad the Streisand Effect exists!

The @bsky.app moderation team has decided to label this drawing of my late father walking to the ocean as "sexually suggestive". It's disrespectful, inappropriate, and the idea that anyone would think of this drawing as sexual makes me queesy 😤 please help me dispute this label 🙏

this is not true, and this guy doesn't speak for me! nymag.com/intelligence...

You do not, in fact, have to hand it to the child pornography & revenge porn LLM.

Hi larpers. Solve my riddles. Super RubberRoss World for Mario Maker 2: 405-052-WSF

I think indie cartoonists should unionize against their viewers.

Today, the IGNCG sent this letter to our President of Ziff Davis Gaming & Entertainment to demand pay that reflects the rate of inflation in our contract. Please join us in asking @errorjustin.bsky.social, @peer-ign.bsky.social, @corradimus.bsky.social, and @yprough.bsky.social to pay us fairly.

Very frustrating to see all the smug smarter-than-you pragmatic glasses nerds come out and mew about how data center opposition is just a troglodyte hysteria. Shut the fuck up!

Ok folks we are tipping too far into giving the bad Post Opinions videos hate traffic let’s walk this back a little.

Horizon 6’s brilliant setting and driving are paired with surprisingly underwhelming vibes and heavy grind. It's a great game, but it's the embodiment of game design as iterative engineering rather than a free-flowing art form for better and worse. My review: www.gamerguides.com/forza-horizo...

Some filler is good shit, actually aftermath.site/good-anime-fil...

The kids are using "filler" as a pejorative to describe an episode as bad. That I cannot abide.

Happy Witch Hat day! I love Qifrey #Δ帽子 #WitchHatAtelier

GOD. Spicy is a baby-talk ass designation deployed specifically to express discomfort about sex

Adult content helped build Kickstarter. It helps build most of the big sites on the web, only to get evicted once the business settles into the positions smut built for them. It has every right to exist and its creators deserve to participate in the social spaces their work developed.

everyone's an adult what even is happening lol. we turned into such a child civilization, having imbibed only the media and philosophy for children and anyone who remembered the adult world has long since died. eternal adolsecence.

Kickstarter officially banning adult content now. Knew this was coming, but it still sucks to have yet another part of the internet that I've been explicitly evicted from. Digital gentrification is exhausting.

I wrote some dumb jokes about one of the even dumber recent video game discourses. Excited for weird people online to be super normal about it.

This story was broken by The Cornell Sun, which @nytimes.com nowhere cites. As a former editor-in-chief of The Sun — and in the name of brave, amazing college newspapers everywhere — do not treat student journalists as truffle pigs, taking what they've sniffed out without credit or compensation.

*tapping aggressively on this sign* GUYS, ARTISTS WILL ACTUALLY ADORE AND WORSHIP U AND GIVE U AMAZING RESULTS IF U DO THIS WHEN U COMMISSION THEM!! We do not shame u for ur "horrible" skills, it actually gives us a better idea to chat u want and it results in a better execution ✨✨

"we have a four strike policy and this one strike counts as four strikes" is a policy that a kindergartener would recognize as stupid yet somehow the dipshit trust fund kids that type "make a website" into Claude are not yet to that understanding

sorry i no long care if you're able to be pushed left on these issues. if you're in congress and haven't gotten there on your own already, you should no longer be in congress. period.

RIP to everyone banned by the mods for their hubris but I'm different. and better. maybe even better than the mods

It increasingly seems like Bluesky moderation/admin is simply actively transphobic as a matter of policy. Which, yes, was clear even before they special-cased Jesse Singal's behavior as not harassment or Jay's "WAFFLES LOL" post, but it seems it's really ratcheted up in recent weeks.

I really cannot stress how fucking weird a type of guy was about it. They got clowned on by the tanker level being the demo and they didn't have anything to do but get homophobic about it. It's expected background noise now, but there was a long-running reactionary attitude. Truly a harbinger.

if jar jar binks had breasts and was in knights of the old republic it might look a little something like this

are you stupid or something?

Amberspire is out Wednesday!! Please share the link with your friends, family, bitchy group chat, etc. thanks xx
