had to pause my lifting program while I figure out why my SI joint hates me but the good news is I can still destroy myself with an archive of routines from former personal trainers 🥵

NEW: Remedy's latest game, Control Resonant, is filled with art galleries. The galleries are filled with real art When I began talking to Remedy about it, I was delighted to discover who the artists are: many are the game developers' parents My story... www.gamefile.news/p/control-re...

Jeremy Lewin killed hundreds of thousands without a signed employment agreement.

"I don't want to work at this place anymore:" EA workers decry mismanagement and corporate greed after mass layoffs Current and former EA employees paint a bleak picture of daily life at one of the video game industry's most prominent publishers

"For many, this is the video game industry’s “you reap what you sow” moment, proof that the AI tools many publishers have brazenly admitted to using are a double-edged sword." 🙃 Also, this Tim Sweeney guy is not an honest person. Great piece about an industry that is changing at breakneck speed:

pretty sure this guy is a sleeper agent for the concept of “accepting your own human mortality“ and he’s doing incredible work 

this one got me crying and we would all do well to be remembered like this

sorry i need to publicly be a hater for a second but what do you mean the giant 230k+ signature save mass effect petition is only about the IP and not the devs that were laid off

ZEEE-RO. ZED. NIL. NADA.

My heart is heavy. Walter Koenig, our Ensign Pavel Chekov, passed away early today. Walter and I met on the bridge of the Enterprise in the 1960s, and we stayed friends for nearly six decades. When Brad and I married in 2008, Walter stood beside us as our best man.

I don't know that there is a template or a "secret sauce" or a clear-cut lesson to take from this. But if there is one it's the idea of treating social media as the hostile territory that it is, of actually acting like you are a participant in propaganda warfare and not like a consumer.

I think what it has taken people a long time to realize is that the fascist idiot screaming on a street corner and the New York Times columnist are not independent phenomena but rather different endpoints of the same media ecosystem, which Capital operates diffusely as a messaging system.

One of the last major issues with STALKER 2 is hammered out, and they've added a fan-favourite feature (from many a mod) - fast-travel via paying wandering NPC squad leaders to escort you. And there's still another expansion and online multiplayer coming in 2027. A huge game that keeps on growing.

“hey, babe, movie was made that way on purpose.” “If movie wanted you to have answer, movie would have answer in it.” just me yelling “fuck yes” to nobody on the trail strongly agreeing with @posatahchips.gaygothvibes.online 🙏

Actions speak louder than words, personally I was in talks with Epic to get all my game assets on their Fab.com marketplace (for free) but cancelled the deal immediately. If they want slop, let them have slop.

the thing about programming is the finding out is usually pretty disconnected from the fucking around, be it a dev/ops split, or user/developer, or even past/future, people do not get to experience the consequences of their choices and are not incentivised to imagine them either

a lot of people have encountered the overconfident stem nerd, the guy who programs and so everything else must be easy from the outside it does look like "i'm smart at code, so therefore i can do anything", but i promise you that they're like this with code too

feeling that kind of sad only relieved by a partner or tattoos 🫠

This analyst's report from Apollo about AI uses the term "S&P 493" to refer to the "S&P 500 minus the Mag 7" - because if you take out the AI companies, the S&P 500 is tanking. www.apollo.com/wealth/insig...

making games so you can hopefully afford to make more games is literally a different industry from grinding up people so number goes up and it is harmful to pretend otherwise regardless of whether or not we share a platform or a binary format

ended up explaining my senior thesis, why China stole the Panchen Llama, to my kiddo and he responded with “that’s a special kind of evil” fuck yes

I love how Galactic Racer takes a cue from the pod race in The Phantom Menace by holding off on the music until the final lap of the race. A small detail that makes all the difference. And the soundtrack by @gordyhaab.bsky.social (Jedi: Survivor, Zero Company, Squadrons) fits perfectly.

when someone's linkedin bio says they're a "Founder" it's the quickest way to identify them as a cold blooded sociopath who would slit your throat for your pocket change

GOOD life lessons learned from gamedev: - Savagely hacking down scope is the fastest and most effective way to make an awesome product - Limitations make you do your job better - A button or seam in the right place is all you need to turn a character from garbage to fuckable

a terrible, piece of shit guy obviously, but also extremely stupid. this is a dude with no understanding of business or economics or anything he ever talks about just smug-poohing his way through life

the effective shotgun range in DMZ is absurd but I’m also not complaining as I’m making the most of it

Guy Normal and Deremith forever

guessing Sweeney doesn’t have any friends cause nobody is telling him to shut the fuck up

An amazing image from Twin Peaks, Dune, and Fallout star Kyle MacLachlan's memoir "Fictional Selves" that just shows how awesome Patrick Stuart is.

> ai has an alignment issue like how the frontier labs have a financial incentive to encourage addictive behaviour and form dependence > no, i mean the computers won't do what we ask them to do how do you fix that? > we run it over and over and add more ai until it works. there's no other way

I can't believe he's still at it, it's been days
