Been waiting to play Lost Records: Bloom & Rage? It’s joining XBox Game Pass on Dec 2!

My trailblazing game industry bad-ass friend Rebecca Heineman has passed away. Fuck cancer. Friends, let’s not forget her: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rebecca...

Thrilled to see that Lost Records: Bloom & Rage is nominated in the Games for Impact category @thegameawards.com ! Also so proud of fellow NYU Game Center alumni and category buddies @qdork.bsky.social and @despelote.game . Congrats to all the nominees!

literally everyone ever suggesting any version of what sounds like "moderate" politics is always actually deeply conservative

Stop doomscrolling babes new Robyn just dropped: youtu.be/vitil9qMN6A?...

Again, to every videogame writer who wrote funny emails to read in an immersive sim/etc. where I rolled my eyes and said out loud, "lol like anyone would ever email something this on the nose", again, sorry, I was wrong, life sucks, you nailed it

Even the most cautionary reporting on AI always takes the position that ‘obviously, AI has incredible benefits but we should be cautious of these dangerous aspects.’ They’re never specific about exactly what those benefits ARE right now. At best, we get speculative future prospects, if that. 🤖

I started this ages ago then got distracted by everything. Finally finished though. Lost Records: Bloom & Rage is a special game. For all the soft, gentle, painfully awkward, and painfully earnest girls out there with their intimate friendships or the friendships they dreamed they had. #art #fanart

Wondering why no one likes your posts anymore, even among your friends? It's because @jay.bsky.team and team have decided to hide a huge amount of content from all of our feeds by default. Here's how to turn it off. First go to the hamburger menu in the upper left corner

Great news but I’m really gonna need these two two back as well. Also Oded please and thank you.

This part.

everyone who loves lesbians and nostalgia and a good time should treat themselves to this game i think

“And that ardent love, that extreme devotion, that is not a coincidence. That comes as a result of knowing that not only are you seeing a narrative, but it sees you back.” Love this piece on #IWTV by @rotemrusak.bsky.social nerdist.com/article/inte...

you don't understand. as someone who isn't inherently good at art, stealing paintings from the museum is the *only* way i'm able to express myself creatively. i wouldn't be able to paint beautiful portraits. but by breaking into a museum and stealing the paintings, now i am

“When they rob us of art and emotion, that leads us towards the aesthetics of fascism. In this film, all the sets are real, the decor is human-sized, there are painstakingly created miniatures... It’s there to remind us that art is not only necessary, it is urgent. And AI can go fuck itself!”

Stop doomscrolling there’s new Is It Cake?

Absolutely the fuck not, 2025.

Taylor Swift using AI on her new ARG when she’s a billionaire who can definitely pay people to do those is… something

I was lukewarm on the newest Life is Strange (Double Exposure), but I'm happy to say that the franchise's original developers, Dontnod, nailed it with their newest game. Lost Records: Bloom and Rage was a fantastic story that captured adolescence in a way I've never seen in games before. Loved it.

What video game do you consider perfect? Lost Records: Bloom & Rage I'm not being overly dramatic when I say, this game feels like someone said, let's make a game just for Autumn Witch. I can't even think about it and not well up. It's ruined other games for me.

I’m not in charge of GDC, but if I was, I would immediately: - move it to Vancouver. No one wants to go to SF anymore for many reasons. - pay speakers or at least offer a meaningful travel stipend - offer a live streaming pass for devs who can’t/won’t travel, and online networking (no doxxing)

Here. We. Go. 🔥🔥🔥 The first of our two-part podcast episode with @michelkoch.bsky.social & @lucbaghadoust.bsky.social, two of the masterminds behind the Life Is Strange series & Don’t Nod Montreal’s Lost Records: Bloom & Rage. 👏 A truly special chat for us. 💜 🎙️ youtu.be/RbSf61TSVXk #LostRecords

Others have pointed this out, but once you start thinking about the *physical* footprint of AI, especially power consumption, the predicted boom starts to look very problematic 1/ paulkrugman.substack.com/p/ai-is-powe...

Fuck this is bleak.

Late to the party as always but this chorus is my new obsession so now it can be yours too. #parispaloma youtu.be/jvU4xWsN7-A?...

Geez-O, this game is pretty fucking great. ‘Lost Records: Bloom & Rage’ 🌀

Got a physical copy of Lost Records: Bloom & Rage out in the WILD (aka gamestop lol) 🎉 always so cool to see something I worked on out on a shelf 🥹

“I think there’s a death drive in these people, almost, and an actual hatred of artists; they are jealous of people with imagination because they don’t have one, and they almost consciously want to eliminate it.” www.vogue.com/article/matt...

Sincerely so jealous of anyone who gets to work with the insanely talented team Anna has assembled. Get after it people!

I’m starting to understand how medieval philosophers managed to easily convince people that alchemy was real.

Lost Records: Bloom & Rage fans, if you haven’t yet had your fill of 90s kids getting up to spooky shit in the woods, I highly, highly recommend The Staircase in The Woods by @chuckwendig.bsky.social . It’s perfect for anyone who loves The Shining and hates sleep (complementary). Go read it!

No lie, when @michelkoch.bsky.social and @lucbaghadoust.bsky.social interviewed me and told me the age of the player character, I told them that even if I didn’t get to work on the game, I couldn’t wait to play it. It’s a rare privilege for characters to closely align with my lived experiences.
