Making a roguelike is fun because you’ll get an email like “BUG: Game said there was an only a 1 in 5 chance of something bad happening and it happened. Please fix”

I’ve mentored for years now and now more than ever I wish those in lead or higher dev roles would be more mindful when they insinuate to young devs there’s a possibility of job openings in the future.

daily reminder that you can dislike a game's (narrative/animations/mechanics/etc) and not have to make comments shitting on them and the work people put in to make them

can we please go back to the days of disliking things silently and not attacking people who like or support those things

Hey so like, @blueprincegame.bsky.social goes live in three hours and it's probably my 2025 GOTY so far.

Go play it. Seriously. It's that good.

I'm so exhausted.

Our industry is bleeding out. So many exceptionally talented people are having their careers and livelihoods stripped away by poor leadership, and I don't have any outrage left.

Monolith Productions were some of the best of us. This is unacceptable. Such an unbelievable tragedy.
BREAKING: Warner Bros. Games is shutting down Monolith Productions, Player First Games, and WB San Diego, sources tell Bloomberg News.

Warner Bros. is also canceling the Wonder Woman game.

MITCH MARNER. CONNOR MCDAVID. CANADA IN SEVEN.

That was genuinely one of the closest, most intense, and most entertaining matches I've ever watched. Props to both teams. What a game, man. Let's never go back to All-Stars games ever again.

We should 100% make a bigger louder deal of games that release complete, with few bugs, and without micro-transactions.

If good examples of this aren’t elevated in gaming communities and in the media, what lessons do you suppose publishers learn?

I really wish that movie adaptations of games would stop taking this approach of complete separation from the source.

Sure, game devs aren't Hollywood people, but the vision and creative direction from the game should carry over into the movie or it's not going to hit with the target audience.

I just want to work at a place I feel safe and I don’t have to have massive panic attacks everyday because it’s no longer a safe place because the men only look after the other men.

There’s always that worry I’ll never be a part of a team that feels like my team again.

Playing through Tactical Breach Wizards this holiday season and I have to say, @pentadact.com did an amazing job with it.

Hilarious concept, really enjoyable to play, and some of the best dialogue and character writing I've seen. Every chat between characters is an absolute treat. Love it so far!

Let me say it louder for the people in the back: a 'community' built and grown on the basis of intolerance, hating other people, posting negative opinions or starting drama won't last.

You are defined by who you choose to keep around you, and you manifest the kind of energy you put out. Be kind.
