Game development is *silly.* We need more stories on how making games can be fun and tap into our weirdest, most vulnerable selves.

Merry Christmas! If you'd like to spend 45 minutes celebrating video game history with me, we're about to debut The Untold Story of the Nintendo Entertainment System. I worked on his ALL YEAR, and I genuinely think it will reshape how we all think about the system. www.youtube.com/watch?v=uJvp...

I’m beyond excited to announce that I play the long-anticipated Darth Nul in Star Wars: The Old Republic. All thanks to @geekyfriedrice.bsky.social , Sr. Community Manager at @swtor.com , who really “put in a good word for me” with the devs.

I’ve been in game dev for 26 years and I can’t remember any other time where a specific tech was being insistently and persistently pushed on devs as a group in the public sphere.
Why would it? Cui bono? Why would any given dev have an interest in other devs using tech they don’t have a stake in?

My conspiracy theory about genAI in games blowing up more and more by big companies is that they’ve all got a ton of investors insisting they use genAI tools otherwise they(investors) won’t be able to bankroll em anymore

I say this with zero irony: if you are even tangentially a part of a retro video game community, it is your civic duty to push back against this company and shun anyone who doesn't. This is fascism tapping gently at the door and as soon as you let it in, it's going to invite its friends.

Anyway, hire people who like to do their job. There are lots of talented skilled people out there looking for work.
The reason they don't is they don't want to pay those people, they would rather pay the subscription costs for chatGPT etc for worse results. And that's why people are so angry.
