This post made me remember a interview from 11 years ago: www.rockpapershotgun.com/peter-molyne...

Brazilian President Lula: “For the Bolsonaro family, Brazil is their second homeland. “Their first homeland is licking boots in the United States, just as they are accustomed to doing.”

Need game devs and games jounalists to start textually distinguishing between procedurally generated content, game NPC AI, and generative LLM content, starting last year. Context is king, and being glib can cost reputation and clarity. This goes for all of you out here too. Be precise.

As of today... Andy Burnham has been PM twice as long as Liz Truss was... something to ponder

We, internationally, need to do exactly what the Brazilians did and lead by example with: 1) Block all far right figures/accounts 2) Never share a far right account even to dunk on them 3) Never reply to a far right account even to dunk on them Completely cut their algorithmic advantage

Still have a lot of residual irritation about artists that did the NFT grift, which at the very least, helped contribute/precluded the AI problem we have now. This gross crypto-entrepreneurial shit that I'll forever associate with their work.

If you live in the EU, please give feedback against the opening of new data centers, they extended the period (you'll need to scroll down). They want to TRIPLE the current processing capacity in 5-7 years, and the next data center may be next to your home. ec.europa.eu/info/law/bet...

Big news from the Independent Workers Union of Great Britain: Employees at Rockstar Games in the UK will hold a union vote next month, just as they release Grand Theft Auto VI

look i’m horribly sorry for posting a pat mcafee clip here but i don’t know if this has made it to bluesky yet and it has to be seen to be believed i’ve never seen the entire mcafee ecosystem unite in disbelief that they are all smarter than their guest like this

Flávio Bolsonaro's passports cancelled after he fails to surrender them

there are additional points to be made about how IP is not, despite some claims by artists to the contrary, a concept that protects creative labor, but the opposite. IP is to the benefit of corporations, workers most often don’t own “IP” they create

Not the top Steam review of Dressmaker making me cry this morning!

I hope it's not too late for me to say I think Bryan Johnson is a creepy ghoul and I resent having to know a single thing about him.

I can't remember why I made this

NEW: I spoke with current and former EA employees to understand how the latest layoff round played out and the realities of daily life at the U.S. publisher. The short version? EA is controlled by an executive class that "cannot fail, only be failed." Workers, then, will always pay the price.

The Royal Mail Leeds depot has come to fear us. We’ve been packing @summereternal.com Anthologies non stop since release day and only *just* catching up to the end of the barrage of orders that came in between the 14th and 16th.

So the "advice" doled out in this column makes me INCREDIBLY fucking angry as a former kid who was repeatedly taken to task by teachers for "inappropriate" drawings, culminating in a 9th-grade suspension spurred by Columbine paranoia and residual Satanic Panic. Arionne here says that was JUSTIFIED.

I think a lot could be said about how fandoms are very much structured to be consumerist without any critical analysis of capitalist production, and how this is the logical end result of that.

learning that the legendary "creator's wife with mobility loss" who everyone says ~inspired~ Dressmaker is in fact a co creator and developer for the game and also they are not even married

Update: 60cm-long bubble tea has entered the chat.

LMAO "thanks, bro"

@dochackenbush.bsky.social I know you’re not on TikTok so I downloaded this for you

they even made a special category in the credits

🫩 don’t make me tap the sign.

Tried coloring this one but I'm nooot super happy so far. Oh well! That's part of the journey I suppose

can you take a shower man

Putting words to action. Here are some other current studios housing former BioWare folks (that I have readily available links for): @summerfallstudios.com @studioresetgames.bsky.social @yellowbrickgames.bsky.social @exodusgameofficial.bsky.social @trickweekes.bsky.social

I'm genuinely shocked that this game is free. It's polished, beefy, seems well designed, and the demo did relatively well on Steam. Sign of the times? Overwhelming competition? Either way, grab it. It's kinda like Darkest Dungeon/Griftlands with Borderlands' setting and sense of humor.

I think it's beautiful when art effects people so deeply they'll go to these lengths to try to save a particular project, I just wish we had any kind of organized body for creative workers across industries that could funnel this energy into actually supporting the people who created the art

Lula won in part by banning online gambling

Hollywood did the same thing in the wake of the Great Depression about a hundred years ago. And what happened? The workers unionized. And then game studios are SHOCKED when game workers follow the same playbook they are. Spoiler alert: we win in the end!

@zhandlen.bsky.social had a good line in his review of the second season of Lower Decks where he wrote, "This is a show that is just so damn excited to be a Star Trek that you can’t help but be happy for it."

The Onion released 'The Onion Voting Simulator 3D' on Steam for free. store.steampowered.com/app/5372440/...

In the last few weeks i've been bombarded with emails from people who have minor tech support problems. ChatGPT is telling them to email me, writing their emails, and compiling "evidence packets" after convincing them they have stumbled on a major story: www.404media.co/chatgpt-keep...

'Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun 2' and 'Starship Troopers: Ultimate Bug War' developer Auroch Digital lays off 25% of its staff.

hey all i dont know what authorsdaily dot com is? but they have an "Interview" with me posted that i - never gave - is full of lies - has my wrong pronouns - is full of things i dont do - or would never say? so i emailed them and told them to take it down but jfc, i am tired

Microsoft offering to buy out over one-in-four employees to cut costs is I mean I'm not an economics major but I feel like we have to be entering the endgame of circular financing and runaway capital expenditure soon-ish, right

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.

start paying artists you fucks!!!! the potential of you reaching nirvana depends on it!

Microsoft offers voluntary buyouts to 60,000 employees. www.cnbc.com/2026/10/26/m...
