Looking for game devs who have been directly inspired by anything BioWare for my next video. I suspect the public likely doesn’t quite realize the extent of their influence on the industry, so I’d really like to highlight that. If you are one such game devs, pls reply to this post!

I know I haven't been posting as much but I wanna assure you I'm still starting to write posts, rewording them a million times, then saying 'fuck it who cares anyway' and then deleting them just as much as before, so no worries

CSN & CWA

To celebrate Tribute Games' 15th anniversary, artist M. Roboto brought this mural to life, turning a simple brick wall into a little piece of our story. A huge thank you to our team, our past, present and future partners, and everyone who's played a part in these first 15 years. ❤️ #Tribute15

Day 2 starting and the Ubisoft Workers of Montreal already collected 300+ signatures for their “Preserve Hybrid Work” petition! Most of the signatures were collected in person, so if you’re a Ubi employee, go meet your colleagues during break hours! Not an employee? Share this post to show support.

Today marks the public launch of the Ubisoft Workers of Montreal (UWM) campaign, with a first action: a petition to preserve hybrid work. Every Ubisoft Montreal employee is invited to sign the petition and every supporter encouraged to reach out to their network to encourage them to sign!

We need more animal survival games

Pompeii is a UNESCO world heritage site not because it was remarkable in its prime, but because it survived to our era untouched: one moment, preserved for all time. But future generations won't know what OUR world was like unless we do the same. This is why we MUST bury Toronto with a volcano

NEW ARTICLE NEW ARTICLE 9yrs, 9 months, I was burned out and almost dead. It made it hard to do my yearly roundup. Let's talk about 2017 was one of the most important years of my life, and how these games shaped me as an artist. ...if I can remember them all. docseuss.medium.com/i-completed-...

There were bisons in their last game too

Posts like these are becoming far too common, but if you're an Xbox / Halo Studios worker impacted by the layoffs today and want to share your story confidentially, please do reach out. Can also answer any questions you have about speaking to press. Email in bio. DMs open. Signal: kerrblimey.43

More XBOX layoffs today: news.xbox.com/en-us/2026/0...

My insurance company, my pharmacy and the provincial health insurance have the same shitty saxophone hold music and it’s doing permanent damage to my psyche

Turns out two people can get a lot done when they have no job. One month's progress on "Don't Make Me Turn This Car Around" #gamedev #godot

Was testing child ragdolls and accidentally closed the car door #godot #screenshotwednesday

it's like a football manager game but it's the canadian house of parliament

Low-poly camera I made #blender3d

I wonder how much that person has been sweating this week.

These wins are incredible!!! Minimum 4 weeks severance + 1 week for every 6 months employment, AND recall rights, AND hybrid work + AI protections, AND up to 34% wage increases! This would have been unthinkable before the industry started to unionize!

Congrats to the Blizzard folks! Your solidarity and hard work did this! ✊

PS I've been doing some research into psychological studies of different voter/political groups and - it's true - progressives are ofter far less happy than rightwingers or the disengaged. But do you know which group comes out as happiest of all, consistently? Progressive organisers and activists.

Doing research on old cameras and found this: the first commercial all-digital camera, the Cromemco Cyclops from 1975. 1kb of ram, 32x32 pixels (0.001 megapixels)

they put this laptop's Copilot button right next to the arrow keys purely to boost their daily active users through accidental keypresses didn't they?

I had a chance to speak with our local news org about the layoffs affecting the Austin area. Part of the city's culture is gaming, and it's important we protect it.

You may have heard ESO’s great-looking Warden Refresh got delayed. You may not have heard who was among those bringing it to life. Christina Cornett, Senior Concept Artist, worked on the storyboards, and Vincent Wong, Senior Animator, worked on the animations. Microsoft laid them off on July 6

UMBERT ACTUALLY! EP 7!!! Why are we paying for incomplete games?! #UmbertActually #UnionYaoi #MistermanGuyfella #Jellybox #IndieAnimation

Amazon skirting safety laws to save money?! Now I've seen everything

Giving clear commands for what art you want made is a skill that makes you an artist and creator yourself. That's why folks always credit the artist Pope Clement VII for painting the Sistine Chapel

With each layoff, real people are affected and real lives are turned upside down with uncertainty. As long as this continues, developers will never feel safe, and I'm proud to lend my voice to this cause and speak about the true impact these decisions cause.

Post something random or you’ll have a terrible September.
