![These are really challenging times, and if you're navigating a layoff or even quietly preparing for one, you're not alone and you don't have to go it alone.
I know these types of tools engender strong feelings in people, but I'd be remiss in not trying to offer the best advice I can under the circumstances. I've been experimenting with ways to use LLM Al tools (like ChatGPT or Copilot) to help reduce the emotional and cognitive load that comes with job loss.
Here are some prompt ideas and use cases that might help if you're feeling overwhelmed:
Career Planning Prompts:
"Act as a career coach. I've been laid off from a [role] in the game industry. Help me build a 30-day plan to regroup, research new roles, and start applying without burning out."
"What kinds of game industry jobs could I pivot to with experience in [Production/Narrative/LiveOps/etc.]?"
Resume & Linkedin Help
"Here's my current resume. Give me three tailored versions: one for AAA, one for platform/publishing roles, and one for startup/small studio leadership."
"Rewrite this resume bullet to highlight impact and metrics."
"Draft a new LinkedIn 'About Me' section that focuses on my leadership style, shipped titles, and vision for game development."
Networking & Outreach
"Draft a friendly message I can send to old coworkers letting them know I'm exploring new opportunities."
"Write a warm intro message for reaching out to someone at [studio name] about a job posting."
Emotional Clarity & Confidence
"I'm struggling with imposter syndrome after being laid off. Can you help me reframe this experience in a way that reminds me what I'm good at?"
No Al tool is a replacement for your voice or your lived experience. But at a time when mental energy is scarce, these tools can help get you unstuck faster, calmer, and with more clarity.
If this helps, feel free to share with others in your network.
Stay kind, stay smart, stay connected.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:iylxsxhk3zenctinkagiffga/bafkreicwsg3jhzn2s57sw6ifba5ccuxxefpl65iapvqkldm3ocqlx37kve@jpeg)

I say it again, STOP USING SPOTIFY
there are so many ways to access the music you want to listen to where the money doesn't go into the pockets of a man who supported the trump inauguration and now also directly funds war.
for example: actually buy music

Parasite becomes aggressive.
Sure all the musicians looking at our £0.0003 Spotify payouts for our work are delighted this is what our fans’ money went towards instead, and the fans equally pleased.
Artists are always very in favour of war, traditionally.

I prefer physically owning my video games.
Or, well... any media really.
Probably an unpopular statement these days. I know digital is faster and more convenient, but I'm much more inclined to buy a product if I know I TRULY own it.
It's sadly becoming a rarity these days...

Almost exactly 3 years ago I started making a weirdo card game on my laptop because I had a few weeks of vacation to burn and thought it'd be a fun little project for me and my friends
No idea how to describe just how absurd this all feels
