I'm not attending this year. There's every reason for my international colleagues to avoid our country, and seeing devs I miss dearly is 80% of why I go at all. The show is incredibly expensive, while offering less and less. There's more career value to be had at Yerba Beuna Gardens for free.

Keep up the good work everyone.

I don't know man, I covered Razer at their inception, reviewed many of their products, and now own one of there mouses. I wouldn't say I've LOVED anything Razer has produced. I've certainly regretted most of them. So, I guess I question his taste.

Amazing thing about Video Games, and long-term relationships, is when you see someone find an entire genre they weren't prepared to love. Jenn and I aren't car people, we don't like to drive. As of Friday, Jenn found out through NFS:HP and Forza 5 she's REALLY into car GO FAST VVVVVVRRRRRRMMMRM!!

Perspective is all we need. Bold. BOLD. BOLD I SAY YOUNG ONE.

So I've switched to Linux Mint for work and games and it was frictionless. Obviously, as Narrative, I don't need much in the way of specialized programs (Blender, PS, etc.), but so far, I haven't run into anything I can't do. There is, currently, no need for Windows, and I'm kinda blown away.

This is all it takes for me right now. Installing.

Animate Bread.

Clay letters from ancient Mesopotamia are alive with idiom, sayings, and everyday language that I love. Here are just a few random ones so you can enjoy them too.

Weird that you can be a "doormat" to someone who isn't willing to interact with you. In other news, I'm tired of being objectified by all the people who refuse to whistle suggestively at me in public.

How were games even made before GenAI? It's a mystery ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Good to know my interest in Dwarf is being noticed.

Nice.

The Wholesome Snack begins shortly! 💖 Come admire a selection of the finest cozy games with us AND get a taste of Wylde Society! 💃

I'm not one to claim AI solely on the quality of the work, but there are baffling choices made in Amazon's Daisy Jones and the Six that I just can't square otherwise. It feels like the book was fed to an AI, because it deviates constantly from the source material, but seemingly to no useful end.

Arc Raiders had some bs reasoning for using GenAI on the VO, but also, like, to what end? The VO sounds awful. Bad enough it would have been an upgrade if they'd just asked for volunteers from the dev team to voice characters, seeing as they were so worried about time and money.

Every time I see a cyber truck I am reminded that I've never seen a Cyber truck with someone in the passenger seat.

I need everybody to read this and understand what’s going on. These are spouses of US citizens in the country legally. They have entry clearance and green cards, they’ve passed background checks and have no criminal records. ICE is taking them anyway. Gift link: www.nytimes.com/2025/11/26/u...

When did companies stop asking you if you wanted to update? I feel like this is Microsoft's fault.

Normalize HADES-style narration in casual on-line conversation.

Watching Pam Bondi squirm while sputtering out "information, new information, there's information" over and over again may have added years to my life.

I just had the best death of my life in ARC Raiders. These guys found me, I got downed by bots.

What the fuck is up with American chocolate candies? Hershey, Nestle, M&M Mars. We threw out our leftover candy because the chocolate tasted like sugared brown candlewax.

The rare and immeasurably sick way to respond to people questioning your art by responding with your art.

Today is the last day to vote for Lost Records for the Best Storytelling Award at the Golden Joystick Awards! 🐦‍⬛☀️🌙🦋

I was researching human flight and, like, the Wright Brothers achieved flight in 1903 (when they weren't to busy perving on their sister) meanwhile in Istanbul (1633) Lagâri Hasan Çelebi may have survived a flight on a 7-winged rocket powered by gunpowder.

When more gets done for free at the park NEXT to your convention than AT your convention, you shouldn't be crowing about how your ad misfires are a good thing actually.

Executives don't actually think AI will help teams innovate, they just think it will mean doing things cheap and fast. They are gutting the medium you love to line their pockets and it should piss you off.

Imagine being one of the last Uruk-hai to be given the white hand of Saruman, but he was tired from touching so many faces that day and sorta missed your face so you just got like three fingers and a smudge, and now you just have to go through the whole war like that until Aragorn decapitates you.

POLITICIANS AFTER VILE POLITICAL ACTIVIST IS SHOT: we 👏 must 👏 reject 👏 political 👏 violence 👏 of 👏 any 👏 kind 👏 POLITICIANS AFTER A BUNCH OF BABIES ARE SHOT: ah, whaddya gonna do? 🤷

I often think the reason respected actors sign up for work with bigoted creatives is that, if they didn't, it would reinforce a standard of moral accountability they could potentially suffer from. Because these aren't starving artists. Saying no wouldn't change their lives in any meaningful way.

When I look at really good brisket, I realize that if someone worshiped my corpse with endless hours of smoking, added generationally perfected seasoning, then served me at a party of their loved ones who think I'm absolutely delicoous, Id be LESS mad about being murdered by a cannibal.

The days we live in. I can't tell if this is AI slop or garden variety incompetence.

Hard agree, as someone who also cut their teeth modding Fallout games. Since Bethesda picked up Fallout, it refused to engage with it's thesis: Capitalism Will Cause Our Doom. Fallout has become an esthetic, a hollow Disneyland version of itself, incurious about its own subject.

Okay, hear me out, if we can do Corman's Deathstalker, then we can do:

I never thought I'd hear "Reboot of Roger Corman" anything, let alone Deathstalker

There are 200,000+ players on now that the xbox Helljumpers have arrived.

There needs to be a conversation about how quickly the military & law enforcement services stepped in line with the administration's demands regardless of legal precedent. Video after video depicts a system of power absolutely horny at thought of putting the boot down on their fellow citizens.

This is the America I'm proud of.

I was watching the smithing show Forged in Fire and ... ???

Whenever someone's speech goes long at a game awards ceremony, they should play the supernova theme from Outer Wilds.

If the Dark Urge had a canonical look for their Guardian, I would make it look like Alfira.

pretty much everyone understands that a very wealthy person or corporation can subvert democracy by purchasing a politician or even a whole party, fewer people seem ready to accept that if they can do that, then they can just buy the opposition, too
