@anacrusisnt.bsky.social: "Punk beat Zayn." Me:

kicking myself for never taking any photos of the billboards around Southern Kentucky and Nashville someone paid for that had messages like "Mitch The Bitch" and "Moscow McConnell" around I-65 when I lived there

Mitch McConnell did as much to open the portal into our current hell- timeline as anyone. Before you post something mean about him, dig deep and find something even meaner to say once he dies. He earned it.

it would have been so easy to listen to the people who were like "nah" when it came to the Nazi tattoo guy.

I think I solved it you guys: 10 Million simultaneous sessions of 1vs100

So yeah game execs remain stupid detached money grubbing idiots

Idk man, I can’t figure out what angle to even discuss what’s happening in the industry (or all the industries!) bc fundamentally none of the choices have anything to do with an actual product or market anymore. We are not the customer, investment is the customer. I don’t know where the endpoint is

I say it AGAIN: Athe architects who got us here STILL HAVE JOBS or have been graced with the ability to RETIRE with fat fucking payoffs so they can have summer homes and take "time to rest". Meanwhile the ones doing the work have to find jobs IMMEDIATELY because we don't have retirement or savings

Microsoft is laying off 4,800 workers today. Its CEO made $96.5M in 2025, a 22% increase from the previous year. Microsoft made $101B in net income last year — and raked in up to $12.5B in tax breaks from Trump's Big Ugly Bill. This is what a rigged system looks like.

over-under on this C-Level pulling this number out of thin air referencing DAU figures during the height of NFT gaming when Filipinos & Cambodians in sweatshops were trafficked & forced to grind Axie Infinity in slave compounds

go figure cutting humanities programs in the late 90s would've bred an entire generation of Millennial MBAs who don't know how to do anything but crash metaphorical helicopters into the sides of allegorical mountains for short term gains

microsoft's plan, Lay Off Everybody Who Makes Games & Then Find 1 Billion People Per Day To Play The Games They Aren't Making... it's bold. i will give them that

The loss of institutional knowledge and expertise will be immense. Expect established franchises to be farmed out to smaller studios with varying degrees of operational maturity and quality with the underlying conceit of cashing in on nostalgia.

The majority of chatter today will be about the fate of studios who build the games we love. But we cannot forget that these cuts will include hundreds of less visible folk w top expertise in a variety of supporting departments. No studios close today, but the loss personal & professional is immense

I'm disappointed in myself for putting my cynicism aside last March

Dungeon Crawler Carl looks like LA Knight in my head

Minimum wage job: 12 hours of delicate, finicky, painful hard work Medium wage job: 8 hours a day of delicate, annoying hard work. With emails CEO of company: 4 hours of gooning to his AI secretary with a suspiciously childlike face, with word salad about quantum physics and how smart he is

Minimum wage job: a mistake can cost you a hand Medium wage job: a mistake can cost a million dollars CEO: You can set $70 billion on fire making a mistake, name your company after it, and barely even remember doing so the next day

Working in games means learning one lesson over and over. You can do everything right… and still end up updating your LinkedIn.

OC, Mick Foley, Harley Cameron, Danhausen, The Miz, The New Day, & Jacy Jayne immediately come to mind

Absolute crazy come ups in Cryo Archive this weekend. Lost a Legendary Demolisher HMG, a purple Mizzie, a Legendary Ammo Pack, & two Gold Shields in exchange but the keys are worth it.

It'd be nice if my 80 year old Mom was into playing Harvest Moon & PGA Golf on a Plug & Play console running SNES roms instead of injecting MAGA propaganda into her veins 24/7

Who could have foreseen this.

I ran an absolutely 100% human, zero AI-involvement at any stage passage of my writing through an "AI detector," curious if it could really tell human from AI work, and it said my own writing was "84% AI written" then asked I wanted to pay to have it "humanized." So there's that to keep in mind.

Here’s to 250 years, and maybe one or two more, depending.

LRT why use LLMs for unearned validation when you can, instead, bask in the humiliation rituals of online ranked fighting games and/or extraction shooters

People who spiral out overusing LLM chatbots are really just experiencing the kind of brain-damaging stream of unconditional validation that’s always been the norm for the hyper-wealthy, which explains a lot.

"And there are no tanks in Baghdad"

I worked in political comms prior to my career in games and the global far-right oligarchical power grab had it's wheels in motion well before 2014. GG & the simultaneous advent of new media platforms were the catalyst for activating a demographic visible & directly impactful to the games industry.

what if the real video games industry was the people who made the games along the way
