I was a member of TGA Future Class 2022 and lemmee tell ya, my skin has been crawling since pretty much every interaction I had with them (few) & story I heard about other members' interactions with them (many) was bad. & by bad I mean, so many shades of being used as photo op tokens & nothing more

EXCLUSIVE on @gamedeveloper.bsky.social: not only has The Game Awards not nominated a Future Class for 2025, it's told alumni it "does not have any active programming plans" for the award. The Future Class page was taken down sometime this year—eliminating a definitive archive of honorees.

Smoking that Cheney pack. Rest in piss homie

Muh girl said she is gonna embody the spirit of Nancy the throatiest goatiest Reagan for Halloweekend.

I wish I was allowed to be 1/100 as bad at my job as these people are that are in charge of massive teams and ppl’s livelihoods. Omg.

It’s hard to convey just how much Chicagoans are mobilizing against ICE. Don’t want to downplay the harm, or make it seem like a fair fight. But in neighborhoods across this city, ICE is getting chased by people blowing whistles and shouting. People are running TOWARD ICE to protect their neighbors.

Give Sunshine (2007) a remaster and put it in the Criterion Collection so I can buy it day one. I don’t care what the masses think of the movie, I need this.

I’m part of a project near and dear to my heart, a documentary about Nancy Drew: her stories, games, & place in girls’ imaginations Funding was cut by the fed, so it’s up to Kickstarter. Please, if you can - this is a special project that deserves to come out www.kickstarter.com/projects/cod...

If the words “Mitch McConnell just tripped and fell,” aren’t followed by the words “down a flight of stairs and fucking died” idk that I care to hear it How many times can someone that old fall like that and be fine omg

Have you ever been so fucking delighted by a username/icon set that it made you follow a total stranger

I just lost. So much time to Megabonk. My god.

A really lovely article and breakdown!

We close the day with more followers than those we lost, fantastic! We're almost three quarters to our 200 followers goal before the #Kickstarter for #KOKOTÖNA goes live on Oct. 12th Thanks #TTRPG folks for all your help, more surprises coming soon! www.kickstarter.com/projects/elc... #RPGLatAm

There’s an interview going around about AI, so before there are any questions, let me state unequivocally that BLACK PHONE 2 is 100% organic. AI was not used at any stage of the filmmaking from idea generation, research, look books, writing, onscreen images - anything. We’re old school and love it.

Starting Bojack Horseman in the airport before my overnight flight :D.

They cooked on this “The Art and Music of South of Midnight” box set 😍 @pikachulita.bsky.social @compulsiongames.bsky.social

There is no second marshmallow.

At the hotel buffet throwing smoked salmon and brie into a tupperware when no one is looking.

Yall gonna beat me up if I say I still need to start Andor?

Happy Full Metal Alchemist Day to all that celebrate. Remember the law of equivalent exchange or else.

mouse hollow

That get a job line is my pride and joy. It’s so stupid, but you can see Hazel saying it. It doesnt really feel out of place. Our mocap actress, Nona, ran track in college if I remember correctly! At least at a high level in high school :) she was absolutely amazing and the animators killed it!

Thank yooooou.

a

Hehe. Yes yeeeeees

Pretty sure the Helldivers team put the equivalent of heroin in that game. It fires all the right cylinders in my brain.

"This thing inside of me is probably going to kill me... and I don't know if I can stop it." Old chronicles of darkness character art. she was fun to play

Turned the corner on my walk home and there was suddenly a ton of half-cover and random supplies scattered about. I’m so scared.

Alien: Earth good. Parts of it feel like they could’ve been shot alongside the originals. Solid tension. Tentatively excited for remainder of the season.

Noise-cancelling headphones feel like magic. What do you mean I click this button and all the outside noise quiets down by 85%? This should be investigated as some form of dark arts idk.

Just started watching The Penguin and Sofia Falcone is terrifying omg. I hope she got some Emmy noms just based off the strength her performance in this premiere.

Just had to figure out how to poorly explain, in French, to a couple of parents that their child was behind them eating a stick.

Running for office on the platform of outlawing the use of natural deodorant. It is unnaturally hot in these times and you need to use the aluminum deodorant. You have been warned. Metro smelling like caribou knees. I hate yall.

Got a heads up from a friend in Indiana: my book was removed from her school because it features a trans character. But … it’s a nonfiction book. She’s not a character. She’s a person. These lies, these wars, obscure the truth, and the humanity, and get what in exchange? Nothing but ignorance

GUESS WHAT GAME IS FREE ON TWITCH THIS WEEK? Wow it would be a shame if you picked it up *for free* and then oops how'd the DLC get in your cart 🤨

"South of Midnight shines as one of the most beautifully crafted single-player games in recent memory." We’re proud to share that South of Midnight has been named “Best Xbox Game” at the inaugural 2025 @rollingstone.com Gaming Awards: www.rollingstone.com/product-reco...

I’ve always wanted to do one of these. Pleased to announce I’m now a Senior Writer at Compulsion Games. Excited to continue my journey as a writer in this space.

x.com/compulsionga... This is actually crazy though. Omg

If I’m talking about disingenuous bad faith takes from right-wingers about various topics then sure. I don’t have to respect those who don’t respect me and across multiple axises. Not only don’t respect us, but actively wish us egregious harm.

Growing up in Ireland in the 80s (not exactly a stronghold of "woke" at the time!), Superman was literally the poster boy for foster care. As in, the posters in health clinics aimed at encouraging people to take in and care for abandoned or otherwise solitary children featured Superman.

Superman is not only an immigrant allegory, but he is a straight up refugee. He has no native home to return to. It was destroyed due to neglect and willful ignorance. His parents sent him away knowing they would never see him again. I know the literacy rates are bad here, but come on yall. Please

Fellow game devs, does anyone have any resources: books, vids, gdc talks, articles etc. that they stand ten toes down on concerning quest design in strong narrative games? Or even some fav quest sequences to shout out?

I think I should have a constitutional right to jay walk. Walkable cities by any means necessary.

Omg not me and the homie @miaginae.bsky.social at my first GDC talk 😭 Fun fact, I was so nervous I barely remember the panel 😌

😭😭 South of Midnight being on here means a lot

Omg 😭🥹. My baby. Also, Hazel doesnt start fights but she will finish them. 😈

Predator: Killer of Killers absolutely fucking ripped. Can’t wait for more.

What’re we doing here? Like forreal, what is the end goal of all this. The uncertainty, the sunk money, the brain drain. The sheer lack of regard for people while chasing constant growth. This is so foul.

As someone who does a lot of indie work (and loves doin it) — the amount of extreme luck, unpaid labor, and emotional and financial risk required does not make it an easier or more viable option in any form of entertainment media. I’ve done games, comics, animations, etc. It doesn’t get any easier

If you’re in North America, PLEASE consider joining @videogameworkers.bsky.social. We cannot allow these robber-baron execs to keep doing this to our profession and art form. We deserve dignity. Unemployed workers and freelancers/contractors are all welcome in our union. We MUST fight back.
