My hands-on with the Midnight Alpha is up with all my first impressions. There will be more content soon, after I've slept a bit more. It was a jam-packed day for sure. @worldofwarcraft.blizzard.com #Midnight

I saw an infographic a couple years ago about how to remove source identifiers from links and why it's important, but I can't find it again and too many people I know are sending me links with them so here's an infographic straight from the oven

This article sums up the uneasy feeling I've had since PAX East. The industry I've known my entire career is gone. I don't know what's coming next, but I can't pretend that things will ever return to what they were
We're really just going through with all this, aren't we

Very long thread, 100% worth your time. It’s probably the best thing I’ve read in years 😂❤️
I have been doing entirely too much earnest posting about deep things recently, I need to do a proper thread about hippo testicles or something just to keep myself sane.

Oh by the way hippos have migratory testicles.

Now that January is done, here is where we're at with known games industry layoffs. We know of layoffs at 24 workplaces this month impacting at least 640 employees. While that's a tenth of last January's headcount, it doesn't look like a general slowdown. We're still FAR from pre-2022 numbers

As the few remaining games journalism outlets continue to whither away, the entire games industry gathers in LA to be blast-fed a three-hour uncritical montage of release videos.

A pun becomes a dad joke when it's apparent, but it's important to note that a pun is never ready to become apparent if it's not full groan.

I like the term “loanword” because it implies the word will need to be returned at some point. “Café” is due back to the French in three days. The fines on “raccoon” have really been piling up with the Algonquin so make sure to return that this week

I’ve been trying to watch some of the videos criticizing DA:V because despite enjoying I think there is a lot of valid criticism to be had with it and I’m curious about if my thoughts line up with others. But it’s very depressing how many feel wokeness is a significant issue. It’s just dumb.
December 1, 2024 at 5:20 AM
@eplerjc.bsky.social literally just finished DA:V, and I just wanted to say job very well done. I loved the characters, and the whole last section of the story was amazingly well done. Also, I now feel much less salty about the pacing in the Lucanis romance ;)

Try two. Stupid autocorrect.

Wait, wait, wait. Hans Zimmer did the score for Dragon Age: Veilguard? That actually explains a lot ❤️
