I’m publishing a weekly note called XP Signal to make sense of what’s actually happening in the game industry, without the usual noise. This week’s post is here if it’s useful: https://substack.com/home/post/p-181730244

The President of the United States just called for Democratic members of Congress to be executed. "HANG THEM", he posted. If you're a person of influence in this country and you haven't picked a side, maybe now would be the time to pick a fucking side.

Excited to officially share the opening of Jameson Durall XP. We’ve been running for a few months and are excited by the early momentum. Our focus is simple: solve game design chaos, refine systems, and build games that play better.  #gamedev #gamedevelopment #gamedesign #gameproduction

"edit: never mind, i figured it out"

Last day! Let's make it count 😀

I'm really enjoying my first Unreal Fest! Hit me up if you're around and we haven't had a chance to connect yet.

In Orlando this week for Unreal Fest 🔥 If you’re around and want to talk systems, design clarity, or where the industry’s headed - let’s connect.

Just started The Blue Prince. Gonna try playing one in-game day at a time. Which is a cute little boundary I’ll ignore the second this thing wrecks me emotionally.

Mike Waltz has left the chat.

Just incredible

We have now arrived at the "arresting judges" level of fascism.

Happy #NFLDRAFT to those who celebrate. May hope spring eternal, and your team not blow it. Again.

There are two things that could cause catastrophic damage to the US economic system. 1: Abolishing or significantly undermining the FDIC 2: Firing Powell or interfering with the Federal Reserve Board If either of those things happen, the stock market crashes will be the least of your worries.

My time at Insomniac Games has come to a close. Grateful for the incredible people and the work we created together. Now onto a new chapter — full-time consulting, creating with purpose, and building the projects I’ve dreamed about. Here we go.

Oh wow: Portland Oregon is NOT KIDDING #handsoff

Hands Off! Vancouver, WA ✊

Hands Off! In Vancouver, WA ✊

Let's go!

Is there a better feeling than using the entire row to yourself? 😀

Trump: And we have Marco Rubio in charge. Good luck, Marco. Now we know who to blame if everything goes wrong.

Gov. Mills: I’ll comply with the state and federal laws Trump: We are the federal law. You better do it because you’re not going to get any federal funds. Gov Mills: See you in court

If we’re renaming bodies of water based on petty grievances, I propose that this be renamed the Kendrick Lamar passage.

Is there a spreadsheet somewhere that lists Trump's campaign promises, his actions since taking office, and which groups those actions are "helping" but actually hurting? I need the notes!

Congratulations to Trump on securing a $1.3 billion border security deal from Canada.... which was already negotiated in December 2024.

Being a Mavs and Browns fan should come with hazard pay. Losing Luka in a terrible trade and now Garrett wants out? KILLIN ME

This is a national emergency:

this is the one

This description speaks to me 😂

Pete Buttigieg responds to Trump’s vicious nonsense.

As chilling a meme as I have seen. But I agree.

How have we even gotten to this point?

Intelligence officials are starting to leak to me now too. Here’s a memo Defense Intelligence Agency personnel received instructing them to suspend observances including: - Holocaust Remembrance Day - MLK Day - Juneteenth

✨WHEEZING✨

So far here’s a list of companies reinforcing their commitment to Diversity, Equity & Inclusion: Apple Costco Bank of America Delta JP Morgan Marriott Microsoft Procter & Gamble Goldman Sachs American Airlines Southwest Airlines United Airlines Catholic Health

Remember when the one thing we could all agree on was that Nazis are bad? Good times.

Calm down Disneyland 😂

Having the best time celebrating @jamesondurall.bsky.social at Disneyland! As a lifelong Floridian, I always thought I’d be a Disney World 4 Lyfe gal but it is just SO charming here! And they still have Mr Toad’s Wild Ride, which is a forever favorite for me ❤️

Birthday Disneyland day for me and @ldygabilan.bsky.social first visit 😍

RFK, Jr. claimed his anti-vax work was a labor of love that cost him friendships. He said he’d never made money from it. But now he admits he made (checks notes) $1.2 million from it. How do you “forget” about that much money?

Name a better travel duo

Quick, someone convince me this is an investment! 😂

History has always been a pendulum and always will be. Many years from now, when the pendulum swings back and Mark Zuckerberg attempts to pretend he always supported LGBTQ rights, remember this moment. Sear it in your memory. Never let him forget when he gave into hatred for his own preservation.

look, i’m sorry but this is just a tremendous clip

I will never grow tired of this view from our bedroom window. Moving to the PNW was the best decision 😍
