What will all the business journals who rank the best places to work going to do now??

Play Demonschool!

I have great news... YOU CAN. RIGHT NOW. uvw-cwa.org @videogameworkers.bsky.social

Oh interesting that WaPo wrote this up. I wonder if they mention their owner...

Guy who thought Silent Hill: Ascension was the future of video games wants you to trust his judgment on the future of video games

hot take "Muppets Knives Out" was always a fun Twitter meme and a bad movie idea Rian was right to give it a hard no

This is easily an order of magnitude larger than the number of firings in the entire years-long 'cancel culture' panic. www.reuters.com/investigatio...

Listing any one of her accomplishments feels like it it does it justice, and listing all of them would take hours. What a legend, what a loss.

I've always admired @albertocairo.com's work and I'm delighted to see this project to track and visualize news coverage that impacts trans communities. It's important to see the big picture! And I hope it leads to much more support for trans journalists and fair coverage.

Not a Galaxy of Heroes guy myself but I'm a sucker for invites to talk to devs behind Star Wars games and Erik had some neat thoughts about working on long-running live service games!

A reminder PlayStation killed a live-service Twisted Metal project as part of its widespread layoffs last year, which makes the show’s latest renewal ironic

Demonschool embargo is up so I can say this game rules! Slick turn-based tactics, jokes that sound like how @brandon.insertcredit.com posts, all with amazing art direction and attention to visual detail. It’s like a modern Game Boy Advance RPG with stylized Sega Saturn visuals. Excellent work.

I folded and used microsoft's chatgpt to ask it how to turn off its "AI designer" tool that keeps stealing input and giving me suggestions every time I paste an image into powerpoint and it gave me detailed, confident instructions that fail on the very first line I am so tired of this

Uncle-ass complaint over here: learned how broken the registry system is by trying to buy my cousin a wedding gift You can either go all-in on one retailer's registry system so you can't get items off their platform, or you can go with a third-party with byzantine-ass processes to buy goods

Look at those numbers. Those are, like, real numbers. Look at those numbers making this whole dream feel real.

mister policeman i gave you all the clues

excuse me why am I thinking about Mark Sanford in 2025

Ellie I know you’re mad at whatever’s on the roof but I am not a stool

anyways i cannot wait for the independent games festival happening on march 11 2026!!!!

If you're mad about the boring Game Awards nominees, consider: You could be buying and playing many of the games on this list right now

“Jorjani noted that developers have been using middleware for some time now to automate processes that were previously done manually, and says that could be considered a form of generative AI but it’s been in use for many years without any public controversy.” That’s because it’s not genAI???

YOU GUYS WANNA SEE SOMETHING CURSED???? HOW ABOUT NEON GENESIS LEHIGH VALLEY PHANTOMS HOCKEY?????

Do you ever think about how Food Network star The Pioneer Woman Ree Drummond owns the stolen Osage land that Killers of the Flowers Moon is about

There’s a campaign to platform Nick Fuentes and escalate his brand of antisemitism and I am in favor bullying anyone who does so.

This lady is not your friend.

…someone’s trying to pivot eh

That’s @carlivelocci.com thinking about keyboards and me thinking about Shatterpoint

Astonishing to me that Google’s AI tool just continues to parrot this debunked information it ingested in April even though it has months of hard facts it could pull from that would correct this. Do they just never update their dataset? What a garbage tool man.

Pregaming my cousin’s wedding by watching the Star Wars Shatterpoint roadmap stream hell yeah

HOLD ON THERE... - Women earn 24% less than men - POC earn 27% less than their white peers - Over half reported are "somewhat or significantly" undercompensated - Visuals arts, the most artistic discipline represented here, reporting the LOWEST average at $124K 😑

His Story 🤷‍♂️

I've seen enough. The piss tape is real.

(curious, do we know what the *terms* were for actors who did AI licenses for arc raiders? “They agreed to it” - to what? Core to our negotiation: some stuff you should not be pressured to agree to, you deserve certain info beforehand, & have union enforcement if violated. I wish them the same.)

Context is everything. Steam Machines originally launched into a space with poor support up against the relative strength of Windows. The new one drops into a space occupied by the Steam Deck's strides in compatibility, Big Picture, and Windows flailing. store.steampowered.com/sale/hardware

dammit I want them all

I get the thought of the original post because yeah! There is a hole where an outlet could spring up. But people really don't understand how expensive it is or how you need to have the clout to get that money in the first place.

be warned if you look up the definition of "three-cueing" you will scream at a pitch so high only animals will react

“In a message obtained by Congress, the convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein wrote that Donald J. Trump spent hours at his house with one of Mr. Epstein’s victims.” guys I think the president might be a pedophile
