I don't know who needs to hear this, but opposing GenAI is not about opposing technology, it's about opposing capitalists. GenAI is not a technology: it's a massive automation of theft, masquerading as an industry, run by grifters. Don't hate computers, hate the capitalists behind the curtain.

fallout show has people posting about new vegas which always reminds of this quote from the new vegas DLC, which unironically got picked up by the self help community like he's a real go getter and not a militant cult leader in a computer game

I hopped on Jack's podcast to discuss production! It's always a joy to talk to Jack and our conversation really energized me 💖

It was a good year for games

I love how every announcement is the exact thing investors say they're not funding because there's no market for it, but by a famous person

As a Producer, I've done a lot of firefighting over the years. Game dev throws all sorts of situations at you, so crisis management is vital. I shared some real examples and how I dealt with them in my IGB talk yesterday. You can watch it here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=EDWs... #gamedev #indiedev

The November monthly temperatures have been released and 2025 looks set to be the 2nd hottest year on record. Remember when warming apparently stopped in 1997? That is more than 0.5C ago.

We had an Overwhelmingly Positive score on Steam, then these two reviews rolled in Why does Valve allow this?

MORPHEUS: They're coming for you, Neo. I can guide you, but you must do exactly as I say. Take the elevator to the lobby and go to the CVS across the street. Purchase 5 Steam gift cards at $200 each. Scratch off the protective coating on the back and tell me the fifteen digit redemption codes. Hurry

This creater puts "reading levels" into perspective in a really helpful way, so sharing it here.

I must admit that it took me an embarrassingly long time to find out that Nano Banana Pro is, in fact, legit and not a parody name for an image generation model.

My friends at Fire Sword released the 1.0 version of Perfect Tower II yesterday! It's free to play so give it a try here 🗼🔥 store.steampowered.com/app/1197260/...

Hahaha, right?! Or what about mandatory disclosures for the discrepancy between the salaries of the CEO and their lowest paid worker? That would be so funny, right?! Let’s do it as a funny joke!!!

I'm old. If you're not, listen to this. Get a guitar or some drums, or a trumpet. Pick up a brush, a pencil, some clay or a welder. Just make shit. It doesn't have to be good (eventually it will be) just make music, art or write or whatever. It's literally never been more important.

I'm giving a talk over at @indiegamebusiness.bsky.social in 2 weeks and you can listen for free! The entire event is focused on Game Production topics with a lineup of amazing Producers in the industry, I can't wait to learn from them 🥰 #indiedev #gamedev

My controversial take is that if you didn't get credited on a game you have proof you've worked on, just list it on your CV. I do with one. Never had any issues. Not being credited still sucks but you don't need to be polite when they're not.

The stories in here are absolutely terrible. Studios need to do better. aftermath.site/video-game-r...

The short version of my idea is this: I don't think prestige indie survives financially without a strong and influential games press. Games whose strength is their idea need people to go to bat for them, and sort of require the "gaming literati" we had in the 2010s to break even.

Give folks their flowers No, I mean right now. Go tell someone you loved their work right now. They're on social media just say it, it has never been easier "They know how much people love--" no they don't go say it right now to a composer or artist or game dev or writer or anyone AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH

I'm working on this!! So stoked to see people's reactions to our new trailer 🥰 Please drop a wishlist if you like it, this would help us a lot 🙏 #indiedev #gamedev #indiegame
