Mass Effect was my ultimate white whale, my all-time dream project. For the last couple years I'd been in discussion w/ BioWare & EA to take on the project & as part of that I wrote close to 20 minutes of music to explore where the franchise can go next, may as well share it!

i am inviting anyone from a legacy media organization to explain to me why the house judiciary dems report on trump’s epstein’s ties and multiple allegations of rape isn’t worthy of extensively reporting on. i’m serious. i want to understand.

When I say I love Cheesecake Factory, I mean this cat who was found malnourished and wandering through a Bay Area mall parking lot. Cheesecake Factory has since been rescued and nursed back to health. He's now healthy, vaxxed, & sweet, but still needs a loving home www.petfinder.com/cat/cheeseca...

hidden away in the closet, his portrait slowly becomes gayer and gayer

In the distant future, humanity has been subjugated. You are the Operatives. Enforce Doctrine's Will Operatives Revolve is a scifi/biohorror slay the spire-like that I wrote. It releases next month and you can wishlist it now! store.steampowered.com/app/3004810/...

Anybody on Flight Rising got a spare Spinesword Warden to toss my way?

It's really important to pay attention to the fact that Lula beat the fascist candidate not by compromising and trying to meet fascist voters in the middle, but by sticking to his guns, promising prosecutions for election interference, and mobilising his own voters to turn out in greater numbers.

Regal has placed 3D printables of the popcorn buckets from some movies online for folks to print-their-own. You can print the bucket for Wicker! Or a hazmat figure from The Backrooms! www.regmovies.com/prop-shop It's probably a good thing that I don't have a 3D printer.

One important piece of context that many people might not realize: Shutting down a game studio is expensive. Shutting down a French game studio — thanks to labor laws requiring an extended severance period — is VERY expensive. Xbox doesn't want to take on those costs.

I usually check out as many games as possible in Next Fest, but the tidal wave of AI trash has beaten me Non-AI indie devs please post your games below and I'll check em out instead Also @steampowered.com PLEASE add an option to filter out AI games in searches. It's killing discoverability #gaming

Guillermo Del Toro dropping another one liner that’s exactly how I feel about AI slop, the “punishment” is built in

There was a fucking hole in our planet’s *atmosphere* Like a legit, no joke, “this will unravel our entire ecosystem” hole in the world, and then we fixed it by working together across national and political lines As a species we decided, “we will survive” Let’s do that some more

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!

This won’t be reported widely, but Jason Arday has been cleared of plagiarism for a second time. Still nobody has been held accountable for this man’s death.

I was asked to paint this to look like a Victorian tile fireplace base. Just give me $12 worth of cheap craft paint and I can 100% curl myself over a wood box like a drying monkey paw for five hours and make it happen.

Weird request. So, I was scrolling on eBay and my eye caught on an item lot of 27 vintage rings. In particular, I focused on a blurred ring in the background. The ring pictured below. Sometimes, as an author, you need to know the story. I kind of thought the year read 1976, the year I was born.

As we approach the midterms, remember that the Alt National Park Service is a merch sales operation claiming without evidence to be a group of federal employees, and is not a genuine source of news about elections of any kind. Please get your election info from a local, reputable source.

Enormous news. A melanoma vaccine, one of the most deadly cancers out there. Science is good and helpful and there should be more of it. www.washingtonpost.com/health/2026/...

BioWare funerary slideshow

what exactly DOES happen to materials from a major studio that’s closed? where do physical hard drives, documents, etc go? who maintains all this pointless secrecy? if you know or have stories, get in touch: nathan@aftermath.site, nathangrayson.666 (signal), aftermathdotsite@proton.me (proton mail)

The situation with that streamer doing the army streams and insisting that it's apolitical is the perfect illustration of how the average american conceptualizes politics and political speech as, that anything they like is apolitical and anything they disagree with is politics

EA's closure of BioWare is transparently a vile move to shutter the studio that made by far their queerest titles. In the wake of this, I implore you: MAKE MORE QUEER ART. Make it trans. Make it horny. Make it scary. Make it loving. Make it with every inch of yourself. Flood the world with it!

Yup, it’s really happening folks. I don’t have any details yet, but I will likely be involved in some way. www.ghostgalaxy.com/blogs/news/n...

At long last, we have created a way for you to take away Nikki's free will, from the classic horror movie "don't take away Nikki's free will"

my company did not lose $80bln so invest in free game assets?

Part of my literal job is to fly out to physical game studios to rescue and recover historical materials that might be endangered and put them in a permanent archive. @gamehistoryorg.bsky.social is a 501(c)3 publicly funded to do that, my DMs are open, and I'm free for the next couple weeks...

Casting a net of questionable size here, if you’re an ex-BioWare dev (or know of one who may not see this) working on something cool you’d like featured in a roundup at Kotaku, drop it below. Store page links helpful, and let me know what your role was at BW. Projects big and small welcome! RTs plz!

We're looking for a graphic designer/illustrator to join the Hello Sunshine team for a few months, starting ASAP. There are a lot of artists here looking for new opportunities so I'd be super grateful if y'all could share this call with your followers! www.redthreadgames.com/graphic-desi...

Things I wish I'd understood sooner as an AuDHD progressive beyond that would have saved me, and others, frustration. 1. Injustice Trigger Unfairness, whether it is games or political climate, is EXTREMELY activating and/or triggering and it's common with ADHD and autism.

You cannot keep crying “shop small”, “support local”, etc for your business while also using AI fliers and AI menus and an AI logo to showcase yourself. I’m about to crash out on a sandwich shop in my town.

I've mentioned before I've updated my contracts to make sure everything in the production of my books is done by humans and not "AI"; if you're wondering what such a thing looks like, here's a clause covering that from a recent contract.

Attention Scottish voice actors! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🎤 We’re gearing up to cast an upcoming project, which will require an (almost) all Scottish cast! So watch this space, if it’s nae bother.

This is potentially useful, but always remember that the AI disclosure on Steam is 100% voluntary, is just a text box for the devs to put whatever they want in, and is not enforced in any way. I.e., failing to disclose or lying in the disclosure conveys zero consequences from Valve.

It's a key part of conservative ideology: "I have no obligations to you and I can treat you however I like, but you are required to love me."

Quick question for all the solo game players: If you were setting up a solo game library for folks to borrow from, what are you Top Three Must Have Games to include?

"Being a pathetic loser" continues to be the number one comorbidity with "being a billionaire."
