This is unreal. In this month's @romchip.bsky.social: This author was researching "superguns," unofficial devices used to play arcade games at home

Sooo they built their own, following the instructions from vintage Japanese electronics magazines from the 80s/90s

Sometimes a stray comment from @shivambhatt.bsky.social gets you thinking "Wait, why is Final Fantasy's sexy female ice elemental named after a Hindu god?"

In a year marked by AI, its misuse, MTPE and CEOs thinking translation is replaceable, not only fighting against it is mandatory, but fighting for your rights is more important than ever.

Let them know that a human is behind that game.

as the new year is coming around the corner,

I am still available for work! The job hunt has lasted longer than ever before but I have hopes for 2026.

Need beautiful vistas? Need detailed foliage? Need a world artist who knows her photogrammetry?

I am the Environment Artist for your team!

i've seen a lot of posts over past patches about people using graphic/nsfw labels to hide their spoilers, so if you don't know: @label.wol.blue genuinely is life-changing and is already labeling if tagged with # 7.4spoilers

the # gets updated for each patch and works for past expacs too!!

Remember:

When Tylenol was poisoned *by an outsider* and killed people, the company recalled all their products & redesigned them.

When Intel’s Pentium had a bug so obscure it affected 1 in _9 billion_ long division calculations, they recalled their chips.

ChatGPT was made deadly *by its team*.
i don’t see how any of the benefits of chatgpt and other consumer-facing LLMs can possibly outweigh their incredible ability to induce suicides
Adam Raine’s life hurtled toward tragedy soon after he began talking with ChatGPT about homework. Analysis of his ChatGPT account shows how the chatbot became a confidant as he planned to end his life.

Kinda funny that we were given a short Gundam series in an alt UC Zeon-focused setting starring a red hair female protag with an ending that leaves fans with mixed opinions and still arguing about the mechanics being overdesigned

and also Requiem for Vengeance

2025 was brutal for games media, but I'm seeing some glimmers of hope as worker-owned sites like @aftermath.site, @rascal.news, and @giantbomb.bsky.social have carved out vital spaces in the games community.

Earlier this year, I made a huge Indie Games Media starter pack for y'all. Let's celebrate.

Imagine the people who didn't contact Amazon, though. This is digital robbery - revoking access without preemptively refunding you. Even then, inflation devalues whatever you receive.

It's an immoral act by these companies, and the best way to combat that immorality is through preservation.

Friends, if you or someone you know has published awesome work in disability studies (defined *broadly*), please let me know! I'm updating my "Disability: A Democratic Dilemma" course and would love to include some newer work (both academic and otherwise).

I couldn't find a list of game directors so I created one. My general rubric is simple: these are the people who are directly responsible for the creative direction of the games they work on.
