In board game land, a large and previously respected publisher decided to collab with JK Rowling to publish Codenames Harry Potter edition. 🤢
Not only did CGE double down, right now they’re actively blocking folks that expressed disappointment, including trans game designers.

How disappointing that CGE would choose to collab with JK Rowling, a bigot working to erode trans rights.
It was an easy decision for us to make. We will not be buying anymore CGE board games going forward, nor covering the CGE games we already own.
Trans rights are human rights, simple as that.

LinkedIn is not a dystopian hellscape because it's not a speculative exaggeration of the worst aspects of our society: it's a reflection of them.
Matt Turnbull, Executive Producer at Xbox Game Studios Publishing - after the Microsoft layoffs - suggesting on Linkedin that may maybe people who have been let go should turn to AI for help. He seriously thought posting this would be a good idea.
![Post from Matt Turnbull:
These are really challenging times, and if you’re navigating a layoff or even quietly preparing for one, you’re not alone and you don’t have to go it alone.
I know these types of tools engender strong feelings in people, but I'd be remiss in not trying to offer the best advice I can under the circumstances. I’ve been experimenting with ways to use LLM AI tools (like ChatGPT or Copilot) to help reduce the emotional and cognitive load that comes with job loss.
Here are some prompt ideas and use cases that might help if you're feeling overwhelmed:
Career Planning Prompts:
“Act as a career coach. I’ve been laid off from a [role] in the game industry. Help me build a 30-day plan to regroup, research new roles, and start applying without burning out.”
“What kinds of game industry jobs could I pivot to with experience in [Production/Narrative/LiveOps/etc.]?”
Resume & LinkedIn Help
“Here’s my current resume. Give me three tailored versions: one for AAA, one for platform/publishing roles, and one for startup/small studio leadership.”
“Rewrite this resume bullet to highlight impact and metrics.”
“Draft a new LinkedIn ‘About Me’ section that focuses on my leadership style, shipped titles, and vision for game development.”
Networking & Outreach
“Draft a friendly message I can send to old coworkers letting them know I’m exploring new opportunities.”
“Write a warm intro message for reaching out to someone at [studio name] about a job posting.”
Emotional Clarity & Confidence
“I’m struggling with imposter syndrome after being laid off. Can you help me reframe this experience in a way that reminds me what I’m good at?”
No AI tool is a replacement for your voice or your lived experience. But at a time when mental energy is scarce, these tools can help get you unstuck faster, calmer, and with more clarity.
If this helps, feel free to share with others in your network.
Stay kind, stay smart, stay connected.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:qpbuxrel3f3njvjw5rakf532/bafkreiei32dnyvihcdgifb5niw7rf65o2obawz5nschbc4czojo4ecgz4u@jpeg)

Hello friends 🐾
Today we're talking a little about care, community and the second of our game projects (with the temporary name "Riscrittora" = "The Rewriter").
We send to you all the best energy we can on those terrible days.

The reason we make games about immigrant food is because food is is the first step in connecting with culture. People will accept immigrant food before they accept the people that make it. You can’t separate the two. We got to celebrate our game in LA this week despite the anti-immigrant assholes.

What a group of queer nerds can do in a hot sunday? obviously: talk about game design, dogs and masculinity.

The best use of computers is to make them do the boring, annoying things, and leave the creative and interesting parts to us. So, let's make them compile, test and deploy our game, while we focus on creating it! 🪅

Hello pals <3
We are working on two projects on those months. One has the temporary name “loop” (surprise: you are stuck in a time loop). It will be made entirely of cardboard, and we wanted to share our experiments with you. What do you think? <3

I'm annoyed mainly because we do talk a big game about systemic collapse, but humsns hold onto systems with tooth and nail. The pandemic didn't usher in a new normal, we're not adapting to climate change, we're not thinking capitalism over, because we can't imagine the adjustments required.
