Man, I know my outreach here is limited but I just got laid off at 2K after working on BioShock 4 for a year and a half. To say I'm gutted is a complete understatement.
If anyone is in need of a friendly, fast and heavily driven animator with a lot of games experience please do let me know :)

We should probably be clear eyed about the fact that Microsoft purchased a huge roster of some of the world's best game development studios only to turn around and use them all as kindling for its ill-begotten AI boondoggle

Nine thousand people didn't get laid off so Microsoft can stay in business. It's a profitable company - very profitable in fact. They got laid off because they are not making magic Copilot beans, and Microsoft wants to spend more money on magic beans

Teachable moment, do NOT stalk your favorite devs / creators / streamers. Even unintentionally following folks in public is really not okay. When I was a more public facing dev, these sort of interactions were borderline scary at times. youtu.be/0EBSI8tgTqg?...

This whole “raw dog a flight” trend is so stupid. In the 80’s and 90’s, if the one movie, the food, and the radio on the plane were down, we were forced to just sit there for hours on end. It wasn’t fun. Folks would think y’all are crazy for voluntarily subjecting yourself to this nonsense.

I grew up in a rural NH town with less than 500 people. Gutting the department of education could remove access to education for hundreds of people just like me who grew up in areas states cannot afford to fund. He is dooming countless children’s futures and I can’t fathom the consequences.
