Open Letter to the Executive Leadership at Build A Rocket Boy

We stand in solidarity with employees and ex-employees at Build a Rocket Boy as they file legal claims through our union and publish an open letter, condemning the way in which they’ve been mistreated and discarded by the studio’s millionaire executives.

Six months ago a creature was captured in the woods outside of Lutterworth and taken to Greenvale Laboratory.

Last night it escaped containment and began its rampage.

Lone survivor of the attack, Meredith Butler, begins her search for answers on October 27th in Episode 1 of The Greenvale Letters.

Spent a week in Tuscany with my partner, pretty sick IMO

I've had many conversations re: "not respecting my time" about Blue Prince, which I think might be the perfect example of a game that creates both worthwhile criticism of how it handles progression and also more instinctive "why won't I just make progress" arguments

It's been a while.

Glad to be announcing a new game, and happy that it is something experimental and weird: a tiny, tense, turn-based strategy game about merging units into spectacular combinations, and then watching them evaporate thousands of bugs.

Hi! I was laid off from Firaxis this morning. I wrote leaders and civs for Civilization VII (NDA for now) and Deadpool and Storm for Marvel's Midnight Suns. I also wrote the award-nominated Hindsight.

I'm available for full time, remote work starting ASAP. DMs are open:

So weird to me to see a bunch of comments like "objectively Civ 7 is garbage". Have we gotten that much worse at criticism over the past few years or am I just seeing it more?
(Also for the record Civ 7 is a lot more fun than the previous games imo!)

Imagine, if you can, that instead of turning the racism dial back and forth a government actually did something that would actually help working folk?

Imagine.

Just the character selection UI is so gorgeous it alone makes me want to play

Not to mention the theme music on the title screen???

They're trying to convince everyone that building a Dyson Sphere around the solar system is more realistic than increasing the capital gains tax

Okay, big breath...

After more than two years since we published our last documentary on the topic, it's time we returned to Disco Elysium:

Oh shit it's Netrunner, my favourite card game (everyone go play it)

Thinking about which game is most equal between Parkour and Menus. I think it might be Morrowind

Really upsetting to know that in a few months I'll have to move to a place that is either significantly less nice, significantly more expensive, or both 😵

Truly the most m&s food to ever exist

Shoutout to everyone working on BF6, looks insane
