Oh ho ho

We're Live! Get in here to help make an on the spot one-shot!

1/3 of the game industry has lost their job in the last two years. Ubisoft closed two more studios today. Everyone is out of work. To that end I'm starting a new bundle to benefit a layoffs hardship fund. Game devs: please consider submitting your PAID games to the bundle, which will launch in July.

We’re hiring at @catan.com! Our studio is looking for a Senior Game Producer: careers.asmodee.com/job/Senior-G... I am not the hiring manager for this position, but I’m happy to answer any questions I can, or refer former colleagues interested in joining our team.

To celebrate inkle's 15th birthday this year, we've launched a kind of ... retrospective

It has been a pretty open secret among studios that some real bad shit was coming, but most people really struggled to square away how a division as historically successful as Xbox could be in this position.

If you need a script for getting your company off Twitter, I WROTE YOU ONE. Multiple people have used it, successfully, to explain the legal liability your company incurs by forcing employees to be on a platform with child sexual abuse material. I will help you use it. anildash.com/2026/02/23/t...

Indie developers, I love you, so much. But please, please, PLEASE include alt text on your damn pictures. I wanna promote your shit!

What about directing the full force of the law against the social media platform owners that allow their sites to be used for promoting and coordinating the destructive malice - malice & disruption encouraged by foreign government? Staring hard at X and Musk.

Not just English commentators. Newstalk radio just 20 minutes ago doing a whole spiel on "legitimate concerns about immigration". No mention of Loyalist anything. When people ask why did nobody stop the Nazis, the answer is right there. Unfettered media-backed propaganda.

White folks need to step up and do more to stop and speak out against the ever increasing violence towards POC. We can’t do it alone. Don’t keep asking us ‘how’, google is free.

This is what a pogrom looks like: men in masks coming to drive you from your home. This is a collective failure of our political and media class because we did not have the courage to say no, and because too many were allowed to embrace this without shame

These men with hearts of shriveled peach pits are killing us

happy pride

Tomorrow Brian and I continue on the adventure started with Bee last week building a one-shot and fundraising for @msfusastreaming.bsky.social using the Story Deck Engine. And bonus @storyenginedeck.bsky.social is donating 10% of their sales on June 10th to support @doctorswithoutborders.org!

EVERY. THING. IS. FAKE. AND. I. HATE. IT.

"What radicalized you, technophobia?" "The realization that every Leverage villain was based on a real person who was sometimes even MORE cartoonishly evil than the version on TV."

“Weren’t some of the LEVERAGE villain speeches a little over the top?”

This is true. If you're a fan of Leverage you're probably radicalized now.

AT WHAT POINT DO WE START HOLDING THE EVIL TO ACCOUNT? How many chances does meta get to ruin society and the planet because they’re moving fast and breaking shit? Can we fucking not for once? Money has made you motherfuckers rotten

I've got a whole thread of pets I'm painting poorly for $5 to help me stabilize my finances! Spread the word!!

Hey, in case you missed it, I and @intersectionscch.blacksky.app are now storytellers for a BRAND NEW VtM Chronicle, taking place in a homebrewed Chicago. Our premiere was this Friday over on @badhouserpg.bsky.social, check out the VoD here: www.twitch.tv/videos/27896...

The only correct course of action with generative AI in creative industries is zero tolerance. Companies that pledge it and follow it get my coin. Those that don't get ignored. It's that simple.

Tech's biggest political spenders so far this cycle: • Andreessen Horowitz: $93.5M • Elon Musk: $85.2M • Jeff Yass: $83.8M • Coinbase: $59.3M • Ripple: $55.1M • Crypto​.com: $38.7M • OpenAI: $37.6M • Anthropic: $20M via influence.citationneeded.news

I swear, sometimes I really cannot abide incuriosity. Maybe it's being one of a generation that had to look up everything and learn to be good at looking up everything, but seeing people for whom the info is right in their face or at their fingertips and they still refuse? Nah, no time for that. 💖

Demo is LIVE now if you'd like to give it a try!

I know devs who have been looking for work for 2 years who have been applying at Walmart out of desperation. I know some that have gone homeless. Who rely on gfm's. The harm is absolutely real. All for a handful of dudes to buy a yacht.

Got fed up with AI slop everywhere so I recreated the meme. #mlpart #fuckai #ponyart #ponyoc #mlpoc

Call me an idealist, but I think that a prerequisite for hosting an international sport event should be that you're willing to host an international sport event.

no no you don’t understand, we only used AI for the part of the production pipeline where we didn’t want to pay employees, it’s different

Remember when writers didn’t use AI and instead just stole their wife’s work and claimed it as their own?

"83% of LLM users could not quote a single line from essays they had written minutes earlier. When the LLM group was forced to write without AI in a follow-up session, their brain activity did not bounce back to baseline; the researchers coined the term 'cognitive debt' for the lingering deficit."

This is what every game developer sounds like right now.

I don't think Anthropic really meant it this way but what an amazing demonstration of why generative AI's energy consumption is only getting worse, and dirtier. "Improvements" only come from nesting chatbots within chatbots, rather than any fundamental smarter design. It's Bitcoin x 1000

🎊ICYMI - We've got a dope steam event going on where you can wishlist ALL the games from our Summer Showcase! Some are out now, and some are coming VERY soon! 👀 Go support the devs! store.steampowered.com/sale/summer_...
