I feel like the increasing acceptance of wishing/threatening violence upon the morally wrong and the ever lowering threshold of what constitutes a moral failure in online spaces are both bad things individually, but together make for one of the absolute worst things about this community.

I AM NEVER EMOTIONALLY RECOVERING FROM THAT, WARFRAME

Veteran game developers will be like "hold on let me tilt my screen so I can see under that" It's me, I'm game developers I have brain fog

seeing people still cling onto genuinely mean and nasty bullies in the wake of trying to denounce fandom bullying sure is a trip. I await the pretending you always knew they were awful when they finally cross a line too far for you

I finished all the Murderbot books in like two weeks and now I'm floating trying to figure out what to read next

BREAKING: Several Xbox studios, including Compulsion, Ninja Theory and Double Fine, are negotiating with Xbox as they try to avoid closure. Some or all could spin off. Lots still in flux as many studios remain unsure about what's happening. Here's the latest: www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Every day like today solidifies my belief all video game workers need to unionize. We need layoff protections, we need stability, today’s headlines are absolutely gut wrenching and enough is enough

Game failure? Layoffs Game success? Layoffs Game delayed? Layoffs Game delivered? Layoffs Game announced? Layoffs Game unannounced? Layoffs Game good? Layoffs Game bad? Layoffs Game AI? Layoffs Game no-AI? Layoffs Game hated? Layoffs Game beloved? Layoffs Money cares more for layoffs than games.

This is key to why most SFF readers start in childhood, and it can be a struggle to learn how to read SFF as an adult if you didn’t start teen you still knew how to read like a kid.

Oh no, this sounds like one of those cases of bosses looking at greyboxing and thinking it looks bad, so the devs are being forced to spin up the plagiarism engine to show them something shiny because they can't conceptualize what it'll look like when it's done. I feel terrible for the devs.

There's a level of AI usage in game development where, if you read between the lines, the developers are saying "we're only using it to placate the failson seagull so he'll get off our case and we can get back to work" but they can't say they're just jangling keys for a bloviating manager.

most of professional game development revolves around making bespoke builds for different audiences and then your game gets cancelled because you never actually made the game and spent all of your time coding fake pitches for the game

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.
