This is collaboration at its best. Two people, differing skillsets, differing opinions, bouncing ideas off each other and making something great that neither could've created on their own. I treasure these moments. I wouldn't trade them for anything. Eff the plagiarism machine.

🧵This Molyneux quote has filled me with existential dread ever since I read it. It reminds me of one of my favorite collaborative moments working with @threeohfour.bsky.social. We were about 1/3 through Unavowed production. I asked him if he could animate some kind of idle animation for Eli.

I wrote a review of @wadjeteyegames.com's and @richardcobbett.bsky.social's /Nighthawks,/ a game that warms my cold dead heart.

capital fuckin' hates creative man

Add “completely dismantle ICE and its concentration camps” and you’ve got the main points, I think.

Coming to the conclusion that between Lord of the Rings and Pirates of the Caribbean, my sexuality got defined as just “Orlando Bloom”

please stop replying to game devs saying things like "well look on the bright side those laid off devs can start their own indie studios now" because eventually one of us is going to snap and "WITH WHAT FUCKING MONEY" would be a shitty last thing to hear before you die

You can look at Veilguard as a game that cost too much money to make or you can look at Veilguard as a cheap salvage operation subsidized by the asset overhang of canceled projects, and how EA chooses to view it is just a function of internecine politics.

It's convenient for the child rapists who now run EA to claim Veilguard was a massive flop because what they want to do already is eliminate any part of EA that isn't a gambling and sportswashing operation. You don't have to fucking help them.

Also: Dragon Age 2 is an incredible video game that took storytelling swings no one else was even considering in 2011, had one of the best ensembles in any medium, and was a goddamn feat of development that got made in A YEAR AND 4 MONTHS. Haters can get bent, Kirkwall 4 life

I wonder if the prevalence of things like 1 day amazon boycotts has just convinced everybody that consumer action isn't possible. It is! Be loud! Be judgy! Make it feel shameful to use AI! To watch harry potter! To play xbox games! The capitalists and fascists of the world thrive on complacency!

Yes, it’s going to be double, maybe even triple, the price of the previous Xbox, and yes Xbox is on the BDS boycott list, but consider this: if you pick one up you can enjoy theoretically playing all the exciting Xbox exclusives, which do not exist and have no hope of existing for at least a decade

An explanation on why Big Walk isn't available on Xbox. bigwalk.game/xbox

it’s worth underlining that the amount which a modern live game is not this is directly the result of devs fighting inch by inch, for months if not years, against the guy at every corporation who demands an explanation for why you aren’t doing this at all times

Riven: The Sequel to Myst is a beautiful name for a baby

I feel genuinely really bad for the ppl at epic who I assume joined the company to do art and not to be an extension cable for a slop machine

The man is making shrimps

I need this shit to stop so bad man. I can’t keep fuck it we ballin’ through this. We have to agree that human life has value for the love of God

Harvard just dropped a study AI productivity in software engineering and it found the average increase in productivity from using Claude code is.....zero and for exactly the reasons you'd think fion.ac/jellyfish.pdf

I have a few thoughts. www.patreon.com/LolaSebastia...

apparently nappy.co, an invaluable stock photo resource, is shutting down in a few months because, well, AI destroys everything. this blows. their statement: nappy.co/future just fucking sucks that AI dipshits essentially get to take away our choices because they're incapable of making their own

They suspended fucking Bruno Dias? Coward shit

Multiple times I've had people yell at me "well what is the ALTERNATIVE that we should give people who are using chatGPT???" and like, idk, dude! I don't know how to tell people they should have values or engage in critical thinking.

I saw this live and it really did happen.
