For Arc Raiders to ride the wave of human sociability all the way to the bank, while also being so contemptuous of the thing that makes us social animals in its own workflow demonstrates a lack of artistic integrity that I find impossible to ignore. Our review: https://bit.ly/49bVn01

Not to be the fun police but I do hope people know that Arc Raiders does use generative AI for voice acting, and by supporting the game you're letting higher-ups know that this is an okay practice. They try to downplay this on the Steam store page by describing the AI usage as vaguely as possible.

You can’t write comedy better than reality anymore, I mean

Hey y'all, we just posted a Sound Design intern position here on the Respawn Jedi team for Summer 2026! Come make some really cool stuff with us *Caveat is you must be a student graduating no earlier than December 2026 jobs.ea.com/en_US/career...

Video games are more theater than anything else

Falling short of projections

Earlier this year, Dr. Jane Goodall sat down for an interview for Brad Falchuk’s new Netflix series, Famous Last Words. The premise of the series is to interview people on the condition that the interview not air until the subject has passed away.

EA being the largest private equity buyout in history is bad even if you don’t care remotely about video games as a medium. It’s, like BAD bad ya’ll

it turns out making art is spiritually and emotionally fulfilling. has anyone looked into this

i think about this tweet every single day

but i know if i hold on, we’ll find a way sanctuary’s still a ways, away alas, here we go here’s a little mantra that’s been heavy on my heart for a while now. this one is called ‘alas here we go ft. @thronocrigger.bsky.social ‘ off my upcoming album stutter 🤍 9.26 !

Here is some non-satire for you: Trans rights forever.

Big fan of this. Not a fan of investors thinking we can ~*magically*~ take a Blue category game and somehow make it as if it was a Red category, but they’ll never see this chart so

Congrats to the Gearbox homies on the Borderlands 4 reviews!

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.

The people yearn for video game to stage adaptations tbh

The person who invented the video game joystick has disappeared, they down right up and left.

COVID Positive (Razorblade Throat Deluxe Edition) was not what I had in mind next in my backlog, yet here we are gamers.

Hell is empty and all the leaf blowers are here

my has wife asked me to stop my running Werner Herzog commentary during our Donkey Kong Bananza playthru

DK Bananza is the most wonderfully depressing game. It’s clearly the work of lifelong game developers mentoring novices and it’s the kind of game we’d have a lot more of if game publishers actually let game development be a stable, life-long career for people.

Get yourself a little treat today. Take care of yourselves the best you can. You can’t help others if your own needs aren’t being met, and a lot of people need a lot of help right now.

People, not companies, make games.

crazy that you can actually run on a platform of telling people that a better world is possible

I’m pro AI use in games as-if “do the dishes for me so I can make art.” There is so much tedium in dev - populating tables, dragging file references, branching assets, etc. I’m firm on “AI should never be making player-facing content.” Have it make tools so we can think less, and feel more.

Whoops should have posted this sooner but this is starting tomorrow and there still some spots open! I love teaching Where’s the Work on @skillshuba.bsky.social! If you want to build a sustainable career in voice acting, I can help you lay your foundation. acting.skillshub.life

The theater kid to game developer pipeline is a thing that should be studied.

This won’t ever stop. Not until developers come together and use their labor as leverage to say - “we’ve had enough.”
