una de mis cosas favoritas últimamente es traducir "literalmente" los nombres de ciertas aves del inglés al castellano y luego ver cómo se llaman de verdad

superb fairywren → chochín hada magnífico

aunque hay que admitir que maluro soberbio es un nombre genial

THE FIRST 3 YEARS PROJECT

Inspired by first3yearsproject.com

In my class on games as cultural industries, 60 students created a white paper on the first years as a games worker. Good practices, production processes, and labour issues.

Please share!

This NYT post is a good example of misunderstanding the Chatbot as just an interface to more specialized tools, but language is not the interface. Language is the whole thing!
magidin.bsky.social Arturo Magidin @magidin.bsky.social · 3d
This is a framing error, NYT. It's different technologies. Chatbots are not the same as the machine learning involved in reading scans (better defined inputs, clearer evaluation of outputs). Calling both AI is like conflating bombs dropped from planes with cars, because they both involve explosions.
From the NYT Evening newsletter, headline reads "A.I. bots are often wrong, but they're set to reshape medicine". Highlighted text reads: "A new study published today found that A.I. chatbots were no better than Google at guiding users towards correct or helpful health advice. The technology sometimes presented false information or dramatically changed its advice depending on slight changes in the wording of the question. But A.I. has already proved quite good at other tasks, like at reading scans and images - better than many doctor, in fact."

This looks bad, right? But here is the thing... ITS WORSE

This survey only reached a narrow selection of respondents. Notably cut anybody who has been unemployed for too long. Mostly just ppl who can afford to attend GDC. Many laid off before 2025 are still looking!

¡HOLA!

Viendo que aquí hay mucha gente de la industria, me gustaría pedir un poco de consejo.

Un grupo de compañeros de la universidad y yo estamos empezando un proyecto, un pequeño estudio de videojuegos. Mi rol en esta aventura es el de productor.

Some (more) good news:

Our annual letter (below) shared that we saw more jobs in 25 than 24 after 2 years of declines.

We're only a few days in & I'm absolutely knocking on wood rn, but January is up 53% YoY so far!

If there's light at the end of this tunnel, it just got brighter.
Can you believe that I get to send this year’s holiday card to over 1,000 teams who’ve hired someone through Work With Indies!? We’re still a long way from “all the indie jobs, all the time”, but we’re 1,000 developers closer. Thank you for trusting us with one of the most important things you do: hiring, building, and growing your teams. You might’ve noticed I’ve been pretty quiet about growth the past couple of years. It never felt right to celebrate traffic or engagement when so much of it was driven by people suddenly needing work. But this year, something shifted. In 2025, we finally saw job postings start to tick back up– especially in the back half of the year. We’re still below the highs of 2021 and 2022, but compared to last year, there are more indie jobs being posted again. And after the last few years, that feels worth celebrating. So, here’s to you and the next 1,000 indie developers who find their people through Work With Indies and the games you'll make together.

YES YES YES. This is also why we should talk about players rather than consumers in game dev. We need to change the discourse so that we can start thinking about new sustainable ways of being a game creator.

That's what I'm talking about.
A slide that reads "Presenting games primarily as consumer products undermines arguments to preserve and make them accessible as an art form." from a MAGFest panel. That panel from the Dark Knight Returns where he breaks the gun also is on there.

Puedo tener relación (y de hecho la tengo) con personas cuyas opiniones sobre un montón de temas difieren de las mías, no con gente que piensa que soy una enferma por ser lesbiana. Qué fácil es hablar de "diferencia ideológica" cuando esa "diferencia" no pone en riesgo tu integridad como persona.

A lo mejor hay que dejar de llamar "diferencias ideológicas" o "discusiones políticas" a que haya gente de tu entorno opinándote en la cara que estarías mejor muerto en una cuneta, no sé.

Josh hits it.
I prefer to use my own damn eyes and ears, and they tell me that video games are not a better place thanks to The Game Awards. Careers are not made, prestige is not accrued, horizons are not broadened. I do not fault developers for grasping at any handhold available to them in this rapidly decaying business beset by lecherous consolidation and ravenous profit-seeking, and hope that more than a handful have been able to stay in the business longer thanks to the show’s exposure. But I think The Game Awards stance on the industry is exceedingly clear: Things are fine just the way they are. Everyone knows this isn’t true, but we are feeble in our articulations, rote in our responses to cruelties we protest. It is perturbing that we’ve become accustomed to the Hellscape Preamble, a boilerplate paragraph where socially conscious writers will acknowledge layoffs, industry turmoil, and global conflict, before running down their list of best games of the year. We make for ourselves the world we write, and we can only write the world we imagine. I’m begging you to consider how small our imaginations have gotten, that we will turn away from the capaciousness of our hearts and minds when it comes to video games in the name of a good time. Tune into The Game Awards or not, but consider the kind of person it is made for, and if that aligns with the world you want to lie in.

Valve HQ:

"AAA game about murdering a lot of Muslims and destroying their homes" "ship it"
"solo game in which you fight the IDF" "ban the savages"
"indie game that criticizes Western power dynamics with a horse metaphor" "unacceptable"
"This review hates Muslims" "ahh smell that thats freedom"
mikerose.bsky.social Mike Rose @mikerose.bsky.social · Dec 10
Valve has now rejected my complaint, confirming that "I don't like muslims" is a valid reason to leave a negative review on a game on Steam

This is where we're at now.
