LET'S FUCKING GO

if you’d like to communicate securely about today’s layoffs, you can do so via signal (nathangrayson.666) or proton mail ([email protected]). interested in hearing not just from those who’ve lost jobs, but also those tasked with picking up the pieces after teams have been cut the to bone

a bloodbath

I'm very sorry to announce that I was one of the devs affected by the Obsidian layoffs today. At least for four years, it was a beautiful dream. If you need a writer with experience in everything from the fog of war to romance - especially if you're open to remote - please get in touch.

I and a good number of very talented game devs were laid off by Obsidian as part of the Microsoft sacrificial rituals this morning. If you or anyone you know is looking for a Senior Writer/ND with more than two decades' experience in titles like Dragon Age and Mass Effect, please let me know!

cataclysm arcade is so funny, what if we bought every magic influencer alive to sell you keyforge but different by a guy whose last major business was NFTs

I just got one of the most poorly designed messages in a game ever.

developed a new lifestyle this weekend called "pikmin 4 by default" it's pretty good

the great strikers are the ones that understand the goal is huge and you can just kick it to the part the keeper isnt in front of.

It’s a shame that bad ass poster for the Mexico England game was AI. Anyway, this one I made quickly on the bike at the gym isn’t

if you think this is a unique event wait until you hear about how the USA was created

Reworked a ton of files, layers, etc. to reduce the file size of DEATH PLASTIC by about 50%! Vol 2 in the works: deathplastic.itch.io

i still remember interviewing at SCEE and realizing very rapidly that sony are a company with huge market share that mostly have absolutely no idea what they're doing, turns out monopolies don't lead to innovation or improvement, who knew

lmao (@thedailytism)

actually it's jamiroquai's monster

so are we ready to have the conversation about media ownership and steam yet or are we still in denial about that one

Proud to announce our HARDSHIP FUND: uvw-cwa.org/hardship-fun... If you've been recently laid off and need support, we got you.

My first munda gang finished. Meet the Crimson Claw! Tentacle pal blurry just to taunt the narrative event gang for tomorrow, lol.

along with the ethical concerns, what happens if: - you say something the regime doesn’t like at one of these locals? - you only get funding for games they get to choose (and likely own)? - they randomly decide one day they’re done with this niche hobby and pull all your funding without notice?

even for 2026 america i am sometimes still caught off guard by just how brazenly they will rattle off a speech that sounds like it came out of a mafia movie

in the middle of a statue making contest and lemme tell you it's neck and neck right now

being on ozempic because you inherited a failing organ is really fun because you have to change your entire life, lose 25% of your body weight, gain a bunch of body dysmorphia and then a bunch of bitter armchair biologists tell you you're just cheating your way to weight loss

Been shooting photography with some new kit at Origins. Been fun!

Games are the biggest entertainment industry and use of AI in it is tightly coupled with the coding, music and visual media business cases for AI. Valve making small decisions to make AI use a scarlet letter would have huge repercussions for AI as a whole. They had the chance to do something amazing

Completely uniquely positioned to stop this at a time when every moral argument was on the table and the writing was on the wall, Gabe returned to his knife collection

I'm seeing people shed tears for Valves business plan being hampered by AI making components too expensive? Indisputably the biggest gatekeeper in the industry; had a chance to denormalize AI use in games and completely change the course of the industry at no loss to them; sat on the fence.

sometimes you gotta remind yourself the world cup is happening when reading the feed

My neighbor told me a cat keeps eating his british prime minister so I asked how many PMs he has and he said he just goes to the commons and gets a new PM afterwards so I said it sounds like he's just feeding PMs to a cat and then his daughter started crying.

father's day is complicated for me as a hurt and recovering son and a loving and proud stepdad, but i want you to know that if your dad sucks, fuck that guy, i am your dad now, you're important and i love you

With the newly released AI warning for Steam v1.1.0 you can turn the AI disclosure on Steam store pages into an unmissable popup and blur or hide games with an AI disclosure in the search results! github.com/seeeeew/aiwa... addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addo... chromewebstore.google.com/detail/ai-wa...

if you're into copyright nightmare battles the point at which these capitalist vultures discover the SCP wiki will be wildly entertaining

They are going to try and steal every election This is not hypothetical or hyperbole

Bought a tiny (<2inch) #sketchbook and am using it to chronicle our #Dragonbane #TTRPG games in real time while playing. Here are some of tonight's drawings. Hoping to keep this up for the whole campaign.

if you buy a company just to forcibly close it for profit you should go to prison, hope this helps

Sucks that this 64 year old Rocky & Bullwinkle joke still hits now

had a little bust arrive yesterday and decided i needed to just do it, plinth is a custom build on a wooden cube, bust by weirdingsway

for all my father's flaws, his habit of calling people "darlin'" in a heavy glaswegian accent never left me, i still do it now, darlin', sweetheart, etc. - it'll unlock a part of you, lets you exhale all the "i can't say that, i'm a bloke" bollocks that society stuffs your head with as a kid
