Ruby here,

I'm a game dev and software engineer who likes to spend my time painting models, making chainmail, and creating incomprehensible contextless edits that make me giggle

Nice to meet ya!
Picture of a small plastic model in the foreground on a messy craft desk. The model is painted black with orange accent panels and is standing on modeled craggy rocks. A close up shot of the poster's arm and torso. She is wearing a sick hand made black scale mail sleeve. The sleeve is mounted on a rubber chest harness, and underneath she wears a leather glove with talons mounted on the finger tips. She is wearing a shirt with a raccoon on it from the band Phish. At the time the photo was taken she doesn't know the band exists and thinks its just referencing how raccoons cannot spell and like to eat fish. The sea of LCL scene from evangelion but edited to include a giant slightly red azumarill with Bold white text overlayed that states "This Is A Tomato"

I've reposted many posts made by folks who were recently laid off from Heart Machine, but here is a thread that highlights them all.

I am also including folks who were previously laid off & are still looking for work. I will be linking their Bsky posts, as well as LinkedIn.

Please, share this. 🖤

This past weekend, as hundreds of game workers flew into LA to attend Summer Game Fest, Immigration and Customs Enforcement terrorized the Los Angeles community, raiding neighborhoods, separating families, assaulting citizens, and detaining SEIU President David Huerta. Many of us in the game industry call Los Angeles our home, and we feel these attacks on a deep and personal level. United Videogame Workers-CWA stands in solidarity with SEIU, UNITE HERE, United Farm Workers, SAG-AFTRA, The Animation Guild, IATSE, and all our fellow unions and organizations condemning these ongoing federal raids targeting workers. We are thrilled that David has been released and echo SEIU’s calls to drop his unjust charges and for ICE to immediately end their violent raids against us and our neighbors. The United States is built on the backs of immigrant workers, documented or otherwise, and the Trump administration’s racist and violent oppression serves only to undermine our labor and strike fear in our communities. As workers of an anti-racist union; as workers with H-1B visas; as workers with immigrant families and friends and colleagues; we condemn these abhorrent acts of outright fascism and colonial subjugation. Our game industry is a deeply international one, and our art is built from cultures and perspectives that simply cannot and will not be contained by borders. UVW-CWA exists to protect all game workers across the US and Canada, regardless of immigration status, and we strive to extend that reach to all corners of the globe through connections and shared struggle. When solidarity transcends nations, no human is illegal!

SHIELD • YOUR • NEIGHBORS

Here in #LosAngeles, we protect our neighbors at all costs.
A family of 3, outlined in green, hide behind a roaring bear, as large foreboding black shadows with nightsticks and helmets lurk behind it. A green star outstretched at their feet as they try to hide from view. Text at the bottom reads in call caps: "SHIELD YOUR NEIGHBORS"

Reading Phil Spencer talking about how maybe "AI" can help with ports and preservation and feeling my blood boil. What a fundamental misunderstanding of not only this tech but how games WORK.

Deeply baffling that Trump claiming the power to control all regulations from regulatory agencies and fire anyone who disagrees with him is getting no attention at all

Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

Trump signs order to claim power over independent agencies
The action is likely to face court challenges and test a once-fringe legal theory.

I’m seeing a lot of soft takes from industry mutuals at the moment that we shouldn’t be so hard on those who use generative AI because it’s becoming harder and harder to resist.
Wrong. Betraying your ethics (and your peers) because ‘everyone else is doing it’ does not suddenly make it acceptable.

V4 Rusty & 621 vs IA-02: ICE WORM

Thank you all so much for 2k! <3
On a snowy field, 621 zooms by in the foreground while chatty is moving in the distance. Over the horizon a flare of light glows from Rusty charging the Overed Rail Cannon. In an overheating cockpit, Rusty takes aim as the ORC crackles with energy, then takes a breath before pulling the trigger. Back in the ice field, a shot from the Overed Rail Cannon blasts a hole into the Ice Worm’s armor, spraying coral into the air, while 621, Iguazu and Chatty circle below.

Gender outlaw shark car save me
Screenshot of a car from Need For Speed, the car has the left side facing the camera. The car's paintjob depicts a pink/blue shark breaking through clean gold and black lines, following behind the shark is a riot of chaotic and joyful colors and art. Gender Outlaw is written on the car's window.

The insanity of being a fire ecologist in the epicenter of a major fire event, bags packed and ready to evacuate, watching active fire from my window, while taking media requests and explaining to the public, for the 100,000th time how climate change is largely responsible for this
