NEW: I spoke to original Halo devs about that ICE Halo post One: "abhorrent” Another: "Using Halo imagery in a call to ‘destroy’ people because of their immigration status goes way too far, and ought to offend every Halo fan, regardless of political orientation” www.gamefile.news/p/halo-ice-d...

Finally really getting to crack the spine of @natedimeo.bsky.social's The Memory Palace book. It is just as wonder-inducing as the podcast. Started reading it to our unborn child so they can become a curious nerd just like us.

If you're a gaming exec who thinks laying off staff (absent any feeling of responsibility) is a great way to improve projections for an already-profitable company, and communicates it to your remaining staff with words like "leaner", "efficient", and "rightsizing", may I suggest a fuck right off? 😣

I return to this poem often, and have posted it around my neighborhood when the times call for it. Today is as good as any day to return to it.

Doctors Without Borders is reiterating its urgent calls for the protection of civilians and for an immediate and sustained #ceasefire. Nowhere is safe in #Gaza and no one is spared.

When @intogames.bsky.social asked me to do a talk, I immediately knew what I wanted to talk about. Comedy and Horror are the secret lovers you never knew about and I'll tell you why. FREE FOR ALL. #horror #comedy #gamedev

These days the existence of junior narrative jobs in video games are few and far between. So how do you get in? Are you just supposed to appear out of nowhere as as a fully formed narrative designer like Athena sprang from the head of Zeus? Fear not! There are things you can do.

Optimist: The cup is half full Pessimist: The cup is half empty Writing: Wait you shot the cinematic so he’s holding a pitcher instead of a cup? Great now I have to rewrite an entire level of gameplay VO.

Happy 82nd birthday to Guion "Guy" Bluford, the first Black American in Space.

Dear Editors — If you’re considering publishing an article about issues related to transgender people, then perhaps you should consider assigning that article to a transgender journalist. Don’t have any transgender journalists in your newsroom? @transjournalists.org has several valuable resources:

@brennanleemulligan.bsky.social talking to @romanmars.bsky.social about the legacy of Robert Moses as represented in D&D will henceforth be my whole personality pca.st/podcast/0cc4...

Do not mistake the complexity of understanding a problem with the complexity of fixing that problem

Been reading this book about the native people of Dominica, the island my mother's from. Upsetting in places but also inspiring. The Kalinago were not passive, nor the monsters of colonial myths, but a people struggling in the face of incredible odds www.papillotepress.co.uk/books/kalina...

Making video games is hard

Interesting read! I wonder, are fear and fun truly so separated? Or is being scared in a safe controlled environment a kind of fun?
