The Roblox CEO/NYT podcast interview abridged

Host: How will you protect kids?
Baszucki: We're putting up a "Beware of Dog" sign on the fence.
Host: But that doesn't-

Is it just me, or did anyone else notice a drop in Twitch livestreams from regulars after Amazon laid off all those employees for no reason? Huh... #Twitch

I want this to be true, not because I find it funny, but because I want an acknowledgement in a court of law that the higher-ups of a company are so morally bankrupt, they turned to something equally as bankrupt to cheat people. A step toward rooting it out of the industry. #VideoGames #Gaming

But the ledge is on the opposite side of where you slid with no outcropping for you to hit, and when I did the demo, I don't recall a mechanic that lets you flip directions on a ladder.

If it ain't AI, its poor design

That's not a troll, that's AI being used to make video games.

I can finally say I've watched all of The Mighty Nein from Critical Role, and goddamn, was this series both interesting and different in many ways from both Vox Machina and the original liveplay. But for all the good reasons! #CriticalRole #TheMightyNein

Every major sports league's reaction to being criticized for doing nothing to curb cheating tied to sports betting when they are sponsored by multiple betting apps. #NBA #NFL #MLB #NHL #MLS #NCAA

Love this. Cannot even start on the stories of entitled people in my industry who no longer work in it because of this horrid mentality toward PR.

Sage advice. Which I try to pass onto others, but it always gets ignored by more than you think.

If you can't talk to PR like they're people, then how do you have a job that's literally rooted in communication? Answer: you won't for long. #Gaming #VideoGames #Journalism

Just found out I will no longer have health and dental through the marketplace due to the rising costs in 2026, and the GOP gutting the ACA. I could say so much, but I also don't know where to start.

I'm probably spending the next few months in Fuck Off Mode.

For the first time in over a decade, the local GOP didn't get its way in #Utah. And instead of accepting it, they've gone full apeshit to repeal the public's ability to redistrict, and they're going to impeach the judge that forced them to play fair.

They're pathetic. All of them. #utpol

First thing I saw at the airport when I got back to Salt Lake City this week. I guess someone did not have fun at the "rodeo." #SLC #Utah

β€˜We were effectively props’: young stars of game development feel let down by the β€˜gaming Oscars’ Announced in 2020 by the Game Awards as an inclusive programme for the industry’s next generation, the Future Class initiative has now been discontinued. Inductees describe clashes with organisers and...

"We found out later that Keighley had a party in another room with all the influencers and industry people. You know where Future Class met that day? At a Starbucks.”

That should tell you everything about the Future Class program from #TheGameAwards. Story from @alyssamerc.bsky.social. #VideoGames

This is literally the first time I've heard Martin O'Donnell's name in almost a decade, and I will immediately go back to forgetting he exists for all the reasons you might suspect.
