Use this post to speedrun past a lot of discourse

Friends and colleagues, I was impacted by the Xbox layoffs back in July. I'm am starting my job search in earnest now. Feel free to contact me with any opportunities in game design leadership and creative direction. (Or any other game design opportunities. Can't be too picky these days.)

this is cute but I would eat it

This is murderous blood libel. One hopes for and works toward a society that will see it rightly punished (rather than, say, rewarded with a $1T pay package)

I have written many stories. They are inside this book, TALISNAM. Read it, and it will always be part of you! www.amazon.com/dp/B0FPVNPL2T

If you order something called "Greek fries" from a gyro mall spot is the expectation you get little quarter cut home fries? Cause I'm fk'ing pissed

“Did you consider not complying with this request?” Judith Butler spoke to @samtlevin.bsky.social about being reported to the feds by UC Berkeley for supposed antisemitism

I don't know a single game developer who is as bad at making video games as the WSJ is bad at journalism

Dispatch from fighting game land: 2XKO is out in Closed Beta today, which means for some people it exists forever, and for everyone else it will exist forever soon, and I simply cannot believe it. I love this game, I am very grateful I got to spend a good chunk of my life making it.

That every other person is saddled with as much sopping wet interiority as you are is actually one of the more overwhelming and terrifying of the conceivable metaphysics, and goes a long way to explain why there's such a rich ecology of toy solipsisms to retreat into

As a professionally validated fantasist and someone with overactive mental machinery for social simulation I already have a ChatGPT in my head so I can say with confidence that yes it is bad for you

BluePrince is a recent example of "doesnt respect your time"'s insufficiency as a critical edge. The game is built around nonlinear progress—reveals come slow&as interruptions to ritual. This isnt inefficient delivery of a payload but the realization of design&how its whole aesthetic is constructed

This convo I had highlights the difference in what "respect your time" means in games. A lot of players want to trade time for in-game progress. It's purely transactional: 1 hour = 1 progress But I want to feel like my actions matter i.e. what I do with time creates progress, not time itself.

weird day to Elden post but: god, Messmer is such a good character. the perfect figure to notionally pin the DLC around

Hi! I was laid off from Firaxis this morning. I wrote leaders and civs for Civilization VII (NDA for now) and Deadpool and Storm for Marvel's Midnight Suns. I also wrote the award-nominated Hindsight. I'm available for full time, remote work starting ASAP. DMs are open: emmkid.info

I wrote a piece for the Guardian games newsletter this week on my PhD research into preserving play experiences, and why I think that the most archaeological games are those that that actually make you *think* like one 🏺 www.theguardian.com/games/2025/s...

Wow and he didn't disclose a conflict of interest on A Warm Place? smh

How is Trent Reznor his real name? "Reznor" is the most late 80s post-industrial made-up ass word. It's like if I were named Jason Wordyworm

Doctor: What? No. Pagliacci is the street name for MDMA.

Video games have a Challenger Deep-sized deficit to make up for when set against film & tv because of how hard they are to enjoy while eating a bowl of spaghetti

Doctor: What? No. Pagliacci is the street name for MDMA.

Refusing to react to the controversy I'm at the center of until I figure out whether I'm enmeshed, embroiled, or entangled
