Scare your boss this Halloween by talking to your coworkers (on your personal devices outside of company time, ideally on an encrypted app like Signal) about organizing your workplace 👻

"why are games so expensive"
"why are mass layoffs happening"
"why are games getting cancelled"
"why did that popular studio close"

it's capitalism. capitalism is why all of this is happening. the rampant prioritizing of profit over the all else, from price and quality to dev health and well being.
SCOOP: For the last two years, Microsoft has pushed Xbox to hit profit margins of 30%, an ambitious target that's far higher than the industry average.

This chase for profit has led Xbox to raise prices, cut thousands of jobs, and rethink everything.

The Orphan Crusher is here to stay. If we don’t feed more Orphans to the Crusher the Orphan Crushing industry will die. It’s time to wake up to the reality of the Orphan Crusher. The Orphan Crusher is worth billions. We need to teach people to use the Orphan Crusher. It’s here to stay.

My wife is in labor, but I am stuck in Bilewater doing the horrible run back to fight Groal the Great, so who can say which of us is suffering more?

I have learned that by context switching hundreds of times a day I can maintain the feeling of extreme business and stress while accomplishing nothing. I am red-lining my engine in the garage, melting my GPU. This will certainly start generating a profit soon and no one should be alarmed.

Since updating to iPadOS 26 Zbrush once again refuses to open or make any new files. It worked fine during the beta. Last time this happened I had to manually backup all my work and wipe the whole iPad. This shit sucks.
Searching is so terrible these days I don’t know if anyone else has this issue.
