Arc Raiders is fantastic. Spent the weekend enjoying the stellar work by Embark Studios. Exceptional world, addictive loop, groundbreaking tech and stunning graphics, which they set out to deliver from the start.

How do you politely decline a work friends desire to extend the relationship to also be friends outside of work?
“I really enjoy working with you, but I try to keep my work and personal life separate to stay balanced. I hope you understand and I’m looking forward to continuing to work together.”

Activision did Spielberg a huge favor here.
Steven Spielberg really wanted to direct a ‘CALL OF DUTY’ movie.
• His team pitched his vision for the film to Activision
• Activision got spooked by Spielberg wanting full control over the film so they sold the rights to Paramount instead

Hell yeah, Sandwich Guy. Fight the Power!
A Banksy-like poster of Sandwich Guy is popping up around D.C.
“When somebody writes the history of this period, that will definitely be one of the iconic images that comes out of it,” said one expert who specializes in graffiti and street art.

How a thrown sub made ‘Sandwich Guy’ a resistance icon in Trump’s D.C.
A DOJ employee was fired and charged with a felony after chucking a footlong at a federal agent. Now his likeness is a symbol --- and for sale on t-shirts.

People should start making videogames about real historical people + stories. Like interactive biopics, but fudge it a little for the sake of cool game mechanics.

If you’ve played (or even haven’t played) the wonderful Bionic Bay, definitely check out this awesome episode I did with @juhanamyllys.bsky.social. Super-interesting story around this game and its creation!
On #GameMakersNotebook, @adamorth.bsky.social chats with Bionic Bay creator @juhanamyllys.bsky.social about how he identifies great ideas and finds inspiration, early designs and concept art, designing the core gameplay loop, creating a visual language that is both mechanical and organic, and more!👇

I play way less videogames now than I did a year or two ago. Partly because I have a full life of other interests that are more important, but also because I don't really get enough joy out of it anymore because I rely on them for primal survival and the industry is toxic. I think I resent them now?

Don’t worry. Everyone will forget this by the time conference season rolls around and we are having drinks in fancy bars and giving out trophies and lauding careers from the VIP seats.

I’m sitting up front at SGF show and the audio is so loud and distorted. Just a full-on bass assault that feels + sounds terrible.
