"the ARR-era code" shaking the hands of FFXIV engineers while maintaining direct eye contact

Dishonored 2 and onwards obviously looked amazing as well but there's something about Dishonored 1s painterly style and super baked in lighting that makes me go "this is a perfect looking videogame" every time I see it.

60 Minutes Australia never misses

Great, classic fantasy, with some amazing language. A must for anyone who wants to write in the genre

it was requested I post this here.

"Congress needs to wait for Mike Johnson" no they do not. I'm sorry. they do not need to wait for him. is this middle school? is Mike Johnson the hall monitor?

Hey y'all, I was recently hit by layoffs at Respawn/EA: I'm a veteran #LevelDesigner with 17+yrs of exp in the AAA space (MP + SP, 3rd person + FPS). I'm seeking a Principal Level Design or Lead LD/Design Manager role (I've worked in both IC + management) if y'all are hiring/know connections!

Then stop reinstalling it on Teams every day at 4pm. is this complicated?

listen. I know obvious mistakes are by design for smishing attacks. however,

stress hives have demolished my face for 2 weeks. my natural beauty is fled, and now no eligible man will have me.

We need to be stopped

before you write your funny little joke in a comment or commit message, read it in the voice of someone who came across it six hours into tracking down a unsatisfying crash which turned out to be all your fault, and then decide if it's still cute

WH40k's ideal audiovisual medium is stop-motion animation, I will die on this hill youtu.be/x2zhCbIFBqM

one thing you can do for your laid off friends is reach out to them and tell them that you appreciated their work. I dislike the stigma in America of people avoiding talking to you because you were callously cut out of employment because people who have no taste deleted you from a spreadsheet

A beauty and the beast romance is just the fantasy of making his heart soft and his dick hard

hey anyone need 1) a 20 year QA industry vet or 2) a principal backend engineer because we're gonna be homeless before the end of the year, thanks tim sweeney!!

Bringing this list over to Bsky for those affected by the Epic layoffs, and those hiring. docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

especially disappointing when fellow gamedevs trip over themselves in the race to speculate on what went wrong / what they would've done instead

I don’t know man, I like it when people can do the thing they’re trained for and afford to eat at the same time.

If you need a QA/Test Lead for your team with 9 years of experience in the industry, including live service and single player AAA titles, please hit me up. I have worked on titles like Destiny 2 and Fortnite, and would love to be your test team's best advocate and process improver. somnifery.com

Robert is one of the most hands-down brilliant designers I have ever worked with -- if you need an actual genius on your team (who also is one of the kindnest souls you'll know) pick Robert up!!

This is the most appalling thing I've ever read in a layoff announcement. is Epic now the martyr for our sins? do 1000 people lose their jobs as a casualty of Epic's crusade for universal salvation? give me a break.

Unfortunately I was one of the 1000 folks let go of by Epic Games this morning. As always I stand in solidarity with the workers and hope we all can land on our feet. Remember, this is not a reflection on you, your work, or your value as a person. Reach out if you want to chat or have job for me!

I have been impacted by the layoffs. After dodging 4 in my career it was bound to happen. The feelings haven't hit yet. Still processing honestly. I have a lot of thoughts and tea that I cannot say of course. If you need a 12 year QA Veteran or a junior designer, let me know I guess.

I have never experienced this! interesting

so you know the DMV sidequest in Rogue Trader?

I can't know the mind or requirements of every dev but "passable" assets in the build are just a bad idea, IMO. I've worked on games that reuse assets that are intended to be redone, which can cause its own problems, but I don't think devs should generate temp assets that could maybe pass for final.

St. Michael/Art by Wolfgang Grasse

So you're saying artists spent considerable time and effort creating assets that weren't shipped? their work didn’t make it into the final product?

I will find a Wawa parking lot and do east coast GDC so help me god

Sad to see the Ides of March becoming commercialised like this. I really feel like we're losing track of the true spirit of the holiday. It's not about how many knives you can stick in a tyrant all at once, it's about the whole community coming together to stab the tyrant as many times as possible.

This is why I go into the backend dev tool and read through every single content script

posting the ides of march illustration I did to this site a full week after the ides of march lmao

BEWARE THE IDES OF MARCH

Horus Rising premium edition sold out already...........this is my grimdark future

If your placeholders aren't obviously temp, you are making QA's lives an absolute misery

hi speaking as a narrative lead on a GOTY and long time builder of VO pipelines, this has literally been a solved problem for ages with text to speech and other tools so we haven’t ever needed evil shit like genAI for this solved ass problem. This is basic shit.

mmm borscht and banosh for supper

annoying thing about being single is you don't have anyone who texts you "TAKE A WELLNESS DAY" when you need to take a wellness day

Hi y'all, My name is Sahil Bajaj and I am a Narrative Designer and Game Writer from Dubai. I have previously worked with Sweet Baby Inc and Veritable Joy on things like the Blackwood Charter Escae Room and ValiDate: Struggling Singles in Your Area alongside some NDA stuff. #WhatAGameDevLooksLike

quick lunch break Khârn. still pinning him down

Felwinter has three inch heels in my heart. This is Felwinter's truth. As such, it was a shame we could only know Felwinter's Lie.
