For Arc Raiders to ride the wave of human sociability all the way to the bank, while also being so contemptuous of the thing that makes us social animals in its own workflow demonstrates a lack of artistic integrity that I find impossible to ignore.

No tool—AI or otherwise—can speed up game development if leaders don't rise to the occasion.

Learned that I am being laid off from Heart Machine, and will be leaving the studio later this month.

Do you need a contractor? I've got a track record of leading scope-friendly script revisions late in dev. I have also done a lot of consulting on new IPs and pitches/demos. Feel free to DM me!

This is a good post. Part of why I have limited my usage of Bluesky is that I believe that it is, fundamentally, doomed, and it is doomed because it comes from a previous era of social media, where social media administration could pretend that they are unbiased in their moderation policies.
I had to expunge my thoughts on Bluesky's current, uh, choppy waters into a proper blog post (which jay can't take down for being too mean or saying 'lol' in a threatening way)

Bruno is more than fair in this post, but I just want to add that yes I am *always* going to be petty about everyone latching onto spurious or insignificant complaints about Cohost, only to wish bluesky had this feature or that set of community guidelines.

I've been hit by tech layoffs, which means I'm open for full-time marketing work in social media, content, events, and pretty much anything else you can think of. I've transferred my 12+ years of marketing skills across anime, games, TV, comics, and tech.. and I'm funny 😋.. TY for any shares/leads ❤️
