Some day, someone is going to have to start the conversation about how the influx of tech industry middle managers and executives into the games industry via nepotism and acquisition is stifling creativity and enshittifying actual production practices.
But that person isn't me. ☕

I think it's important to remember that bad games are also years of someone's life time work.
It sucks to release a bad game because few on the dev team are under false pretenses that it is somehow a good game and many tried in vain to change the course of history.

I'm really hopeful for this one role I'm interviewing for because it would allow me to do what I always wanted to do at Riot and Bethesda and what I have a degree in and what my hyperfixation is and... 😮💨
But I know my competition is extremely fierce so I can't get my hopes up.

some context for that “look at me doing edgy homophobia” Gavin Newsom clip is that Newsom rose to political power in San Francisco during the AIDS crisis. there’s a reason every current or former Californian you’ve ever met feels about Gavin Newsom the way Captain Ahab feels about the whale

The Californian pact with Newsom is he gets to continuously disappoint us as long as he keeps yelling at Trump.
The monkey's paw is that he can never leave California and we constantly tell him he sucks.

Reminder that when companies force RTO, they're basically doing soft layoffs.
Bleech, Ubisoft's also ending all remote work, will give workers an "annual allowance" of WFH days.
