COME WORK WITH US? :D

What a quick and simple way to completely undermine your reputation as a teaching and research institution.

Cyberpunk 2077 just won Best Sci-fi Game award my chooms 🥹 We attended 36th Galaxy Sci-Fi Conference, in Chengdu and met plenty of incredible writers from China. On the pic, our crew with the award — I will take it to the office in Boston! 😌

An update on The Dinner

The buff-tip moth (Phalera bucephala) has mastered a very particular kind of camouflage. When they close their wings up, they resemble a broken twig. Native to large parts of Europe, there's regional pattern variation that reflects the local tree species. This one best resembles birch twigs?

so, playing by the odds, which two countries do you think are gonna divide us up into east and west america after the war?

ANDOR creator Tony Gilroy describes his approach to side characters. “There are no subsidiary characters….Every single person who arrives must have something. Anyone of any consequence whatsoever, I want them to be fully realized…. That’s good writing.” (Source: The Bulwark)

EGM FOREVER

I read barbarous for the plot The plot:

I will say as Alien: Earth goes on the characters in it make the characters in Prometheus look like certified geniuses

Sure everyone will post "tell me the name of God you fungal piece of shit" but let's not forget this banger

I don't comment on Destiny a lot anymore and I'm not gonna comment on it any more than this but fucking FINALLY 🎉

Dabe took this picture at #PAXWest and I think it deserves a Pulitzer

I gotta focus I'm shifting into fall mode

There was a gorgeous dyke/trans bar called "Le Monocle" in 1930s Paris. Monocles were a bit like wearing a pride flag among the queer people assigned female at the time, like in this colorized 1937 photo. Nazis shut down the bar during the war, but many patrons stayed in touch for years after. 🧐

screenwriters have never personally done me wrong but by god is "hiring manager with no knowledge of what a game writer actually does but thinks hollywood screenwriters are shiny" an inescapable scourge on this industry

What I learned was that "process" is a guardrail. It is vital for safety and can mitigate accidents, but it will not stop someone determined to drive the car off the cliff. Companies and nations need to recognize what kinds of problems they have. You cannot use process to solve a people problem.

One of my most frustrating work memories was watching for years as our pipeline gained more and more checks and balances and complicated approval processes to compensate for having senior leadership that was mercurial and prone to blowing things up for bad reasons.

This “solo dev” and “only 3 devs” rhetoric is getting truly dangerously out of hand. Investors see this and think “I only have to pay 3 people” and the result is severely overworked and/or underpaid people and a subpar product. We need to stop treating outsourcers and contractors like ghosts.

sometimes I scroll through my photos and am like "how am I this lucky??" ♥️

Working with Emma over the past 2 years has been a pleasure. She’s extremely good at voice and character work, and I hope she snags a role that lets these strengths of hers flourish. I wholeheartedly recommend her for anything.

It's a sign of the times that a writer/narrative designer as talented as Emma is looking for work, but it also means your team has an excellent opportunity to scoop her up. Deadpool was one of the best parts of Midnight Suns & Hindsight is a moving exploration of memory & grief. Seriously, hire her.

thanks to everyone reaching out. I’m not impacted but some really talented folks I’ve worked with are. I’ll continue to repost their LFW posts. please give them your support

I am absolutely crushed for my friends and colleagues at Firaxis Games victimized by whatever godforsaken capitalist bullshit is unceremoniously cutting off their ability to feed, shelter, and secure medicine for their families. Remember that when you read how T2 is "better aligning resources."

I know of a couple of openings in marketing and production--Firaxis friends, if there's any way I can help, please let me know. I'm so sorry. This fucking sucks.

I got laid off from Firaxis today. I helped ship Marvel's Midnight Suns DLC and Civilization VII, and would love to talk to you about mid level Producer roles.

For those who have been asking, Laurin was safe from today's layoffs at Firaxis but a lot of other superbly talented people weren't. I'll be signal boosting them as I can and trying to do whatever is in my power to help them land somewhere else. If you see a post in the wild, give them your support!

In the latest Meeting REDs, Cyberpunk 2 Cinematic Director Andrzej Stopa explains how his team creates impact through every interaction, shares how it feels to be working at our new Boston Hub, and so much more. 💡 Read now on Beyond the Game Blog: cdpred.ly/meeting-reds...

Hi! I was laid off from Firaxis this morning. I wrote leaders and civs for Civilization VII (NDA for now) and Deadpool and Storm for Marvel's Midnight Suns. I also wrote the award-nominated Hindsight. I'm available for full time, remote work starting ASAP. DMs are open: emmkid.info

Blessed to work with some of the nicest and most talented people ♥️
