Oh she’s like EVIL evil.

I think if you needed any more evidence that the cuts are shortsighted and focused on cutting as deep and as fast as possible with little regard for the future, this is pretty definitive. That engine felt like magic in some spots. A colossal waste of talent and resources.

Sick. Awesome. Thanks for that. Really preferred this to funding a Blade game by the Dishonored people or people at Obsidian having jobs.

One way you can show Microsoft your concern is here through the XBOX Player Voice feedback platform: feedbackportal.microsoft.com/feedback/ide...

just thankful that double fine no longer has to put up with this

Probably gonna open up coms again sometime soon just to keep afloat

Its never enough.

It's been so odd to see my coworkers at ZOS who picked up the pieces on ESO after the project cancelation and layoffs exactly a year go through the same thing now. So much talent simply tossed aside. Bad management decisions from Microsoft are to blame, but its the developers who suffer for it.

I am unbelievably shattered and heartbroken with the news coming out of ZenMax Online and Xbox in general today. The team at ZOS is made up of amazing, dedicated, smart - and above all, awesome humans. To see so many of them laid off today - and last year at this time - is just awful

During a photo session with a young fan, Egyptian staff are assaulted by cops in Dallas. Egypt is Australia's opponent tomorrow morning. Aus squad include six players of African heritage plus another from Sri Lanka. This could easily have been us ... #Profiling #WorldCup #AustraliaEgypt #Socceroos

My biggest pet peeve is that there's a ton of scam websites that are "Free QR Code Generator"s then the QR code stops working after a few days and then redirects you to ask you to PAY to re-activate it. I made a page on website for making ACTUALLY FREE QR Codes. Enjoy. konig.games/QRCodes/ #QRCodes

Steve Jobs predicted cities would be designed around this device, which was "as big a deal as the PC." Jeff Bezos called it "one of the most famous and anticipated product introductions of all time." don't let our tech lords fool you into believing they can predict the future.

"Also this week: a 12-year-old girl – whilst in her tent – was shot in the chest with live ammunition from a [Israeli] crane-mounted gun; a three-year-old girl was shot in the face by a bullet from a [Israeli] quadcopter drone while inside her home. " www.unicef.org.uk/press-releas...

Going to go ahead say, unequivocally, if you are a *big boss boy or big boss girl* and you made shitty fucking decisions that lead to a mass layoff at your company, you should be axed and your insane compensation should 100% go to severance for everyone who suffered thanks to you

Microsoft blaming the rising costs of computer components after spending $146 billion dollars on AI investments

this is your mission. our pedophile president needs you to show up in full combat gear on a hot summer day to the pool he filled with algae because he gave a paint job to one of his cigar puffing cronies. you are ordered to stop tourists from touching the green water. good luck soldier

Microsoft had $80 billion to piss up a wall on AI investment, and I don't want this fact lost when we're talking about studio closures, they had obscene amounts of money to throw at slop machines.

Sometimes people will play dumb about why Israel gets singled out as a uniquely bad actor. Our government having a uniquely extremist supportive relationship with theirs is part of the reason. The other part is that their officials post “I AM HITLER” on American social media all day long

The remake of just one of the movies she starred in made over a billion dollars last year alone, and she still died in poverty from an extremely preventable infection. We need universal healthcare or we don’t have basic human rights.

I animated them

"Game dev is one of those jobs you only do when you really want to. It's not going to make your parents proud, you're unlikely to get rich in an industry that lays off people for making superhits, and its a demanding & confrontative job. Why would you let a machine do the thing you're here to do?"

Everyone shut up I finally got a video of Jyn doing her cartoon snoring thing

Holy shit what fucking disingenuous assholes

friends. buddies. we all need to make our creature designs a lot weirder

So, hey, @spryfox.bsky.social's title, Spirit Crossing, sadly does in fact use GenAI. Dev's have confirmed as much in their Discord. There is a Claude file in the game files for the playtest that started a conversation about it, and sadly, that will be the end of it for me. I'm heartbroken...

it is 2024 and an award winning small studio is closed by the big parent corp that bought it it is 2025 and an award winning small studio is closed by the big parent corp that bought it it is 2026 and an award winning small studio is closed by the big parent corp that bought it

these studios will continue to treat us like chess pieces until we take our power back. without us there would be no games!!!!

did you guys know they still allowed good news

They didn't disclose it because they wanted to get away with it. It's the main splash art for your game! The first impression! And this is what you were okay with? Clothing that makes no sense? A backwards hand? Fucked up cart? If you don't care to make it, why should I care to play it?

I want to support public broadcasting but NPR plays the "Nice Polite Republicans" bit way too much, they structure everything around it so that readers are led to believe problems caused or made worse by Republicans are acts of god and forces of nature.

1. Progressive Champions PAC, a super PAC created last month, says on its website that its mission is to “elect bold, progressive candidates up and down the ballot.” A Popular Information investigaiton reveals that it's a GOP front group. Following along for receipts. 🧵
