Hay una silla de casa en medio de la calle, junto a una farola. Parece que si te sientas va a sonar el sonido de guardar partida.

Is it you, Silksong?

Cis people:

This is where you fucking step up. Do everything you can to support trans people in the coming days. You're going to hear horrible, hurtful rhetoric about us. Shut it down. Don't let it stand.

And buy the trans people in your life a drink.

@aksut.bsky.social me enseñó el camino.

Pretty happy how this video for @6side-studio.bsky.social turned out! Wanna do more dev problem-solution vids like this :)

Me sigo quedando con mi Trauma-Driven Development.

Con esta gente a muerte.
Mantengo un pie en esta industria a duras penas solo por la semillita que puedo aportar a que gente tan guay haga cosas tan guays.

Unexpected inconsistency in records Unexpected inconsistency in records The other day, I was trying to figure out a bug in my code, and it turned out to be a misunderstanding on my part as to how C# records work. It’s entirely …

Blogged: Unexpected inconsistency in records - codeblog.jonskeet.uk/2025/07/19/u... - if you use C# records and the "with" operator, I'd suggest reading this to avoid a footgun you may be unaware of

Bookmark this skeet so that when the game inevitably falls short of "largest gaming release of all time" (because literally who could meet such a high bar???) and Rockstar says they have to lay off workers due to "falling short of expectations" we can safely say "you set them up for failure."

This thread is a goldmine for #Godot optimization 🧵

Hopefully, in future those hacks won't be needed any more but it is very difficult to achieve... In Java one still has to do similar tricks sometimes to optimize JVM performance.

Socorro tengo que volver al trabajo y llevo desde las tres con la enganchada máxima a esto.

The bluffer's guide to software process improvement:

1. Take any activity in your development workflow that's a bottleneck (e.g., code review)

2. Put the word "continuous" in front of it (e.g., "continuous code review")

3. Ask yourselves, "And how might we do that?"

We are watching the billionaire technofascists use their AI pets to rewrite history in front of our very eyes. Never assume AI is some kind of neutral tool. It is a fascist tool and anyone who doesn’t get this at this stage is a fool.

Post from Matt Turnbull: 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 AI 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 AI 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.

Matt Turnbull, Executive Producer at Xbox Game Studios Publishing - after the Microsoft layoffs - suggesting on Linkedin that may maybe people who have been let go should turn to AI for help. He seriously thought posting this would be a good idea.

Este tío hizo dinero a base de estafar a abuelos y otros grupos vulnerables. Tiene multas millonarias por estas estafas.

Los medios de comunicación deberían hacer algo de periodismo y no actuar de publirreportaje cada vez que le dan altavoz a un estafador.

please folks be sadder about the actual people who are being laid off than about this canceled game you really wanted to play

Unity Now Forcing Cloud Projects – GameFromScratch.com Unity have just updated the Unity Hub forcing users to create Unity Cloud projects. We show an alternative Unity Hub option, Unity Hub Native

it seems Unity has learned nothing from 2023 backlash on the runtime fees. What developers want is stable software and trustworthy terms.

Learning that Microsoft is cutting off limbs to afford to their spending on genAI is the most depressing shit ever.

Xbox was good for the industry. They gave us built-in HDDs and robust console online.

But Microsoft wants to have the best Slop Machine of all the Slop Machines instead. So gut it.

Que dice una agencia (Alcon0st) que me evalúan las traducciones gratis con IA y lo único que tengo que hacer es copipegarlas en su sistema, claro que sí, ya mismo voy. Vivimos rodeadas de timadores.

"nooo es que la IA sólo la usamos para poner un placeholder" nosotres pusimos como placeholder el meme del sapo que te roba el sapato, fotos cutres de stock y frases de nuestros fanfics, we are not the same

It's okay. You can abandon Scrum now. It never really had anything to do with software development.

If you’ve ever worked in corporate America you understand this in your bones. Some president or up spent millions on a new toy that doesn’t work but you’ll be forced to use it anyway by your boss who will say “just pop into a few minutes a day to get them off our backs”

Anisa holding an award for “Outstanding Association Award” for Limit Break at the MCV/Develop Awards 2025

Thank you to our committee of industry volunteers, our sponsors, and to all of the mentors and mentees that make limit break what it is today This means a lot to us as this year has been extra difficult with the industry being on fire and all. It’s our 7th year running and I started this initiative because as a young gamedev I really wished it existed for me. This is a message to the games industry at large, if you are benefitting from non-profits or any other organisations like ours to build up and nurture the talent that ultimately make the games and products that you profit from, then please don’t take us for granted. Every year we have thousands of applicants, because initiatives like ours are needed. Support us. Sponsor us. Put your money where your mouth is. Thank you

We, @limitbreak.co.uk won tonight. This was my acceptance speech. This is my message to the games industry.

Thank you all 💖

Hay una cosa peor en software que no tener tests, que es tenerlos hechos solo por IA.
