my latest: new video is out - this one has been in the works for months - glad to finally get it across the finish line.

This is alarmingly good advice in general.

not at all - these are dozens/hundreds of hours of gameplay/recording/writing/research/editing/etc just to get one out - adding pressure/special requests is pretty demeaning to the time and effort he's putting in on his current self-selected projects.

I don't understand those people - I saw the noti pop and was just excited and grateful to have a new video. :)

an image from South of Midnight blurred in the background. In the foreground is an image of Hazel, the protagonist of South of Midnight, with the actress that portrays her via mocap and voice acting, Adriyan Rae, beside her.

South of Midnight's Lead On Hazel: "Black Women Have Strong Stories" That Deserve To Be Told

We spoke to actress Adriyan Rae about Hazel's adventure, her Golden Joystick Awards nomination, and her journey into games. gameinformer.com/interview/20...

im glad the government posting halo memes is revealing that half the people reporting on it are fine with it

This is a real thing that a judge had to say to the Chief of US Customs and Border Protection.

I feel like this is one of those lip-service things Spencer feels like he has to do to humanise the Xbox brand to audiences. I'm sure he does actually interact with the big-name humans who make games, but considering he has to make all the money ever, this is just hollow bs imo.

A four-panel meme titled "GMs when they have to play multiple NPCs in a scene" showing the same actor in different costumes and makeup playing various characters - a smiling man in overalls and cap, a bearded warrior in armor, an elderly woman with glasses, and a person in medieval clothing.

What's your record for most NPCs voiced in a single scene? It's always awkward when have to talk to each other, too.

if my high profile game was being used without my permission to market the most evil job in america i would be suing their asses into oblivion

Guillermo del Toro quote "...think about wealth for me for example. A wealthy man that has enough..."

"not a man that needs more. If you have enough to invite somebody to beer..."

"...you're rich. If you have, whatever-"

"- yachts and planes and islands and you STILL need more? You're not rich."

Guillermo del Toro on wealth: "a wealthy man is a man who has enough, not a man that needs more. If you have enough to invite someone for a beer? You're rich. If you have a yacht, planes, islands, and you still need more? You're not rich."

I actually don’t know how you solve the problem of people just refusing to believe sources that tell them the truth instead of ones that lie to them

Saw a tumblr post saying AI is turned on again in a hidden Google Drive menu, but its not a menu you can find on mobile; its only desktop. anyhoo. here it is with a picture and clearer directions

Google Drive > MyDrive > (Gear Icon top right) Settings > Manage Apps [switch off Gemini here]

Cannot believe execs have laid off so many thousands of people in favor of.... this.

To whomever is running this account, 2 things: 1 - VTMB2 has over 1,000+ positive review. HW has only 34. 2 - Shitting on someone else's hard-earned creative product isn't going to encourage people to choose yours.

a few minutes a day, i daydream about startup money being available for teams of the intense talent callously cut loose into unemployment and imagine these teams self-publish and make sustainable money catering directly to their own tastes and their audiences, bypassing publishers entirely

Imagine the Illusive Man from Mass Effect saying this

Thank you - sorry, used to skipping Bberg's articles due to being paywalled.

Anyone else feel like the Haranir are just a kitbash of existing assets? I like them, but they also seem like a low-effort substitute for better ideas that would require more work but also be much more cherished by the audience.

Can you give us any idea on what the average/median profit margins are?

I don’t talk about it much because the situation doesn’t really change but it’s still insane to me what an enormous amount of really talented game developers are out of work. just whole studios worth of incredible people, often people who worked on beloved games, unemployed.

please watch movies and read books and play games and look at art, please view it with your own eyes through a lens you made yourself and not just through video essayists and ending explained videos please im begging you

can't wait to continue that story - or at least continue it

Something that ran through my head as I saw descriptions for Steam Next Fest games: if the project uses gen AI, it’s an instant skip

Yes, even if it’s “just” for store assets

However it’s intended, it LOOKS like an active gap in your craft, and there’s infinite other games to spend my time on

My latest video is now out as of this morning - super proud of this considering it's my first proper video of the year. (ADHD/executive dysfunction is rough)

Can the Manhattan Project avoid building the nuclear bomb?

If you're a writer/other creator in the United States, consider creating an LLC for your business and then signing up for a local area Chamber of Commerce. Many of them have health insurance plans that pool their members and members of other CoCs to create insurance efficiencies relative to ACA.

you don't understand. as someone who isn't inherently good at art, stealing paintings from the museum is the *only* way i'm able to express myself creatively. i wouldn't be able to paint beautiful portraits. but by breaking into a museum and stealing the paintings, now i am

Today marks 15 years since the release of Fallout: New Vegas.

Since 2010, players have explored the Mojave Wasteland where countless Couriers have walked the same road—each carving their own story. Thank you for keeping the spirit of the game alive all these years.

Viva New Vegas. 🎲

notice the general mood of the timeline? how everyone is in a good mood and there’s a lot less misery and dooming? how there’s a lot of “we’re going to beat these assholes”?

anyway that’s why these events are important
