Hello, new followers! I am primarily a game music composer even though you might not know it looking at what I normally skeet. You're in for /a lot/ of very, very leftist politics, despair at how the game industry is destroying itself, and a ton of vitriol toward genAI. Welcome! 🌻

Hey, say something nice to your internet pals today, okay? We're all overwhelmed all the time with so much negativity, it can be nice to consciously break that.

I love all of this. The entire industry, and the way people think about games, needs to change.

Look. I know. Yes. Sure. But.

Imagine.

What if all this money, hoarded and funneled between stupidly rich people busy pissing away our world for the vague promise of a line going up. What if it was just... taken from them. Every single cent.

And used for actual good. To help everyone.
Based on analysis of years of revenues, losses and funding, since 2023, OpenAI has taken in $28.6bn in cash and had $13.7bn in losses.

However, reports say OpenAI ended 1H 2025 with $9.6bn in cash - suggesting OpenAI's losses are billions higher than reported.

I am so sorry, Sunflowers, but no stream today either. I am approaching critical stress levels and need to have some time off. I will be back very soon, promise. <3

You don't need me to tell you this is yet more good money being burned after bad. But as someone who's worked with that QA team, I'll say they're unsung heroes who truly play a huge role in maintaining SE's reputation for high quality locs and to attempt to replace them with AI is deeply insulting.

Well, the "good" news is that it won't work and it'll cost Squeenix billions before they shutter it and hire actual humans again

This, this, all the way fucking THIS.
This needs more attention: Zohran SPLIT the straights with Cuomo. ALL of his margin was from LGBTQ+ voters. Every Dem who ever said “we should abandon the transes” needs this shoved down their fucking throat with a ramrod.

Ah, yes, the good ol' misconduct of joining a union

Fuck Take-Two
BREAKING: Yesterday Grand Theft Auto VI maker Rockstar Games fired dozens of people, all of whom were involved in union efforts. A British union calls it "blatant and ruthless" union-busting. Take-Two Interactive says it was due to misconduct.

Here's the scoop: www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Unfortunately I suspect as union activity gains momentum and popular support in this broken industry we will continue to see studios ramp up their union busting efforts.

Be smart: practice good infosec, read up on typical union-busting tactics, and most importantly: don’t let them scare you.

Fucking dystopi. Det här ska inte hända någonstans, under några som helst omständigheter.

Panta för miljön? Ja. Panta för att KÖPA FRUKT - absolut inte.

Bort med privatiserade, vinstdrivande skolor.
Att barnen går och pantar burkar för att köpa frukt till fruktstunden känns kanske inte som något man borde göra reklam för som vinstdrivande förskolekoncern. I det här fallet Edukatus (tidigare Thorengruppen).

Yes. Yes I would believe that.
