Rockstar union workers have set up a solidarity fund to help them survive and fight after 30 of them were fired in an attempt to destroy the union. Help them fight back! If you can, any little bit you can donate will massively help their efforts. actionnetwork.org/fundraising/...

Act quickly; you have until November 3, 2025, to let Microsoft know that you don't want your LinkedIn data used for AI training. You're opted in by default... Head to Account - Settings & Privacy > Data privacy > Data for Generative AI Improvement & toggle the switch off.

After playing many insider builds, the new Skate has by far the best skating out of all Skate's, but it is the least skateboarding out of all Skate's too. After all these years, it's still easy to just jump in and have a good time, but I'd still prefer to play Skate 2 or even Skate 3 if I could.

Liquid Glass is still not ready for prime time..

The amount of better alternatives out there that are so much better then their mainstream options! I've moved from Organic to @comaps.app since their launch though.

We saw the black and white version of Shin Godzilla in a theatre last night and it was *gorgeous.* This run is short and isn't being promoted - there were ten other people at the first Boston showing - so look for Shin Godzilla: ORTHOchromatic times near you.

NEW: EA CEO Andrew Wilson was paid $30.5 million in cash and stock this past year, up about $5m from a year ago Since the U.S. requires companies to compare CEO pay to employee pay, I made an EA pay chart To make it work, I had to make it VERY TALL Take a look: www.gamefile.news/p/ea-ceo-and...

Worth a watch: Head of Signal, Meredith Whittaker, on so-called "agentic AI" and the difference between how it's described in the marketing and what access and control it would actually require to work as advertised.

Mamoru Oshii (Ghost in The Shell) in Death Stranding 2 (as a pizza man) 😆 www.youtube.com/watch?v=wwMB...

They are finally forcing manufacturers to label the damn cables! Wow!

Use Signal. We promise, no AI clutter, and no surveillance ads, whatever the rest of the industry does. <3

YES!

Goodbye, Arc. Hello, Zen!

It's Bandcamp Friday yo! Time to add some more Tommy G to the collection.

YES! I’ve believed and never stopped following.

One of the things I’ve come to appreciate being with privacy folks this week is how unique Signal is at this moment. I know it’s maybe a cliche at this point, but it needs to be said.

How to put off your target audience with a game trailer. Bamco, you did it again.

Here's a very long, very interesting report on "the fuck happened to the games industry over the past few years" that is worth a look. Lots of graphs and data points for the sickos out there. www.matthewball.co/all/stateofv...

It’s pretty much all mismanagement. Adopting new tech prematurely? Mismanagement. Changing creative direction in production? Mismanagement. Iterating on content 3+ times? Mismanagement. Adding major features in production? Mismanagement. Poor planning, failure to follow plans - all mismanagement.

We've beaten run XI, that's what we've done.

Even though I prefer the darker tone of 97's Berserk, the Memorial Edition also did a great job (imo) of telling The Golden Age Arc. Specially by not ending with the biggest cliffhanger in TV history. Hoping to see 4C try their hand at the Conviction Arc next!

Looks like @capcomusa.com has already mastered Bluesky by keeping all their games under their own domain with @deadrising.capcomusa.com, @streetfighter.capcomusa.com @monsterhunter.capcomusa.com. Let's hope other studios/publishers keep this trend going.

YES!

Get ready for an even bigger ad filled bonanza so Geoff can upfront the pennies to get the big dawg on stage.

Bora! Siga para a frente.

Hey DOJ, could we break up Ticketmaster next? Thanks

Ever wanted to know the amount of profanity flowing through Bluesky at any one moment? Me neither, but I still ended up making this: SwearSky, a flow of foul language uttered by Bluesky users. ⚠️ NSFW ⚠️ as it literally yells swear words at you.

So, I've been running a few automated reposter accounts for some outlets over the last few months now, but this migration has been so big that I've now stopped half of them in favour of their official accounts finally moving in. I like where this is going!

Damn, Amazon really did miss the mark with their Yakuza adaptation. If anyone is looking to get into this, just watch Takashi Miike's 2007 film of the same name instead. Now that's a good watch.

Aaaand, Balatro just took Mini Metro's spot as the my go-to offline game to play on mobile during my holidays – and I still haven't been able to beat the damn thing!

@ozone.birb.house heya, game dev please!

Just a wee heads-up: LinkedIn has added AI data theft to their settings, and it's on by default. No-one based in the EU has this setting, but if this link works for you then you're in the catchment and can turn it off: lnkd.in/eHQJJ4fK

And now for some good news: Discord rolls out end-to-end encryption of audio and video. discord.com/blog/meet-da...

Feel free to reskeet! I’m in the market for my next game narrative role! You’d get: ✅ Award-winning writing and narrative design ✅ Worldbuilding ✅ Character development I’d get: ✅ Money ✅ A collaborative team of weirdos enthusiastic about narrative ✅ A challenging, player-centric project

"The game industry needs its biggest players to take bold leaps. Right now there is only repetition." Literally most of the current gen mood in a nutshell.

Signal is good, this interview is good, and this photographer is good because they made Meredith look like PJ Harvey.

120fps Taiko!? Say no more..

Anyone know of any QA Lead jobs in the UK? Asking for a friend who is very good and experienced and looking for something.

Just tried to look for Kunitsu-Gami's pre-order after really enjoying the demo to realise there is no physical release? What the hell, Capcom? This really puts me off..

Around Porto Alegre alone, an area 10x the size of Gaza is underwater. Presumably the river flooding is partly due to slashing rainforest upstream and turning it into pampas that absorbs much less water, and Bolsonaro is personally responsible for a non-trivial share of it

RIP Roll7, you deserved better than this: aftermath.site/kerbal-space...

I might have broken the AI chat, oops..

For those who won’t be able to see the total eclipse today, here’s a totaled Eclipse

People don't even know how much they hate cars until they occupy a space with fewer of them, and they love it

Quick! I gotta find a new writing/narrative design job before my in-laws get here and ask, “How’s work?” www.linkedin.com/in/charlesro...

Here's a BIG ONE. I spent months chatting with union staff and members from around the world to learn about the trials and triumphs that unionization brings. The TLDR? Fear often prevents devs from speaking out, but that's why it's vital the industry finds its collective voice.

Do you still need further evidence why my boi Sackboy should never stop getting more costumes?
