I sincerely thought Bungie was going to be my forever home in this industry. Alas, I'm back on the job market. I'm immensely proud of the work I got to do on Destiny, and the people I got to build an experience of a lifetime with.

22 years. I joined a few months before Halo 2 shipped. Onto whatever comes next.

real shitty day all around huh. I would like for some not evil people to have good days for a change.

Ask how many more shifts they’d let a surgeon work after a week in which they severely harmed 12-15% of their patients

If there's something more exhausting than yet another super hero movie it's another round of critics thinking it's revolutionary or erudite to bitch about super hero movies

idk how you unfuck the economics of game dev, but big studios constantly going "we just can't afford all these developers who we pay like 60% the market rate for engineering roles w/ comparable experience at comparable non-game-dev companies" doesn't reflect well on studio execs' basic competence

maybe they can afford to make the ui less abysmal now

Wild what you can get on sale right now for the price of one (1) GTA VI in Canada

it's really hard to be a person who like. believes in things , and thinks they're worth doing. because what we're watching pretty universally here is the people in charge of everything close up the doors and say "yeah we're done with doing, now is the time of rot". but like .... i like doing!

so many people want to work. so many want to use their skills to create something that has meaning and expresses an idea, that takes parts of them and others around them to make something that is greater than the individual components. but the people with all the money don't care. it's maddening.

BREAKING: Bungie studio head Justin Truman, who succeeded Pete Parsons last year, is stepping down, people familiar with the situation tell Bloomberg News.

Tim Swindle cryarsing about AI disclosure being a scarlet letter lets slip something significant here, because if AI was all that slop jockeys claim it was, then surely such a disclosure would be a mark of pride, even a selling point! Surely people would be clamouring for AI games. But they're not.

The Supreme Court is letting Trump ignore laws set by Congress and send hardworking, legal immigrants into imminent danger in Haiti, Syria, and other violent countries. It’s horrific. This decision is a disaster for the rule of law and a disaster for thousands of families.

Honest question: have any notable politicians (governors, senators, house reps, mayors of major cities) condemned or called for any action on the horrific sentences for Prairieland defendants for basic organizing and speech?

this is cool as hell

Also the fact you can just remove the "2" from this URL and get the Concord closure sure is something. Can't even be empathetically original in your subject about ruining people's lives: sonyinteractive.com/en/news/blog...

This one's gonna be popular in a few months I reckon

Well, when you put it like that it almost starts to sound like poor management, leadership and planning, but that can't be true because all the studio heads in charge of those things still have their jobs.

It's wild that Epic is doing a massive heel turn entirely because it is run by an ai-pilled fascist dimwit

I'm just so tired, man. Video games as an industry is simply indefensible.

Today's layoffs include most of the Destiny team, some people on the Marathon team, and even various Sony staff who supported Bungie, according to people familiar with the situation.

herculean levels of passive voice here for what has been a butchering of thousands of livelihoods over the course of years at the hands of incompetent executives. no shade to whatever poor community manager had to write this image lol

There’s been more elite Democrat anger at Democratic primary voters than outrage over the life imprisonment of anti-ICE protesters — including a couple whose only offense was printing zines. Look at what they choose to talk about with the media and what they ignore. It’s revealing!

Two ICE agents tracked down a woman *inside a polling place* yesterday. Why? They demanded that she take down an Instagram post in which she named Jonathan Ross as the man who shot & killed Renee Good (after the Star Tribune identified Ross). www.syracuse.com/news/2026/06...

finally i get the drinkable cheeseburger lore

is today’s HHN house announcement based loosely on the novel tender is the flesh

I wrote about level design readability: blendogames.com/news/post/20...

this is literally an american dad b-story

Judge Mark Pittman, who signed the case over to Judge Reed O'Connor, is who presided over the Prairieland trial in the US Northern District of Texas, where the protest occurred. O'Connor, who's had a role in several anti-trans DOJ efforts, handed down some of the sentences with Pittman yesterday.

This week I learned Photoshop can slut-shame. So I spent a video testing Adobe's moderation system, seeing what triggers it, and discovering that Photoshop may be judging my outfits harder than half the internet - youtu.be/sWcnBBrJ5cw

They’re calling it the least comprehensible achievement of all time.

glanced at the list of top 50 played demos from last week's Steam Next Fest and there was no overlap (other than a game or two) with anything i was looking at or interested in. wherever the mainstream is at this point, guess i'm still very much outside of it store.steampowered.com/sale/nextfes...

On one hand GTA6 is The Most Video Game. It embodies more or less all of the worst excesses of a dying games industry. It is the capstone to an era of games that is no longer viable; a swan song to video games' monoculture and the idea of blockbuster tentpoles so important you *have* to play them.

this is what it feels like to make a game

I think the thing I like the most about Claire Valdez is that she not only takes bold stands in support of trans people, but that when people on the right try to use those positions to attack her, she's just like, "yes, that is correct."

"Are you playing like a spy or playing like James fucking Bond?"

More work on the inventory. Pretty happy with how its looking so far! #lowpoly #horror #gamedev #retro #PSX #PS1 #indie #indiehorror

Sorry, just checking I have this right, union buster rockstar wants you to pay eighty fucking quid for a box with no disc... And they still haven't shown a single second of gameplay? Videogames are a v unserious place

Christ. This is death camp shit.

there's always a bigger fish
