Community and Scrubs, no doubt.

At this point, if you’re still one of those “I need to stay on Twitter for business reasons” people, you’re just lying to yourself.

I quit Twitter before it was cool. I walked away from 3.2M followers, and absolutely nothing changed in my life, other than fewer garbage people disrupting my peace.

There was little value then, and there is even less, now. Staying on Twitter is a moral and ethical failing, disguised as business.

This is insane… This is comic book villain shit.

I have the privilege of working at my own studio, but the future isn't certain so I might need to look for a job someday. However, I'll never consider relocating for a job in the games industry again, no matter how good of a gig it might seem. If a company doesn't offer remote work, it's not for me.

It's mind-boggling to me that some politicians say "I want to give you a *much* better life, but the side-effect is that you'll never be able to become obscenely rich" and middle/lower-class people go "nope! I prefer to keep my shitty life if I can cling to the hope that I can become a millionaire."

We must stay strong, not sedated.

The Republicans are building concentration camps to carry out ethnic cleansing.

Feels like the only safe job in gamedev right now is making a real money casino for infants

To counter rising development costs, Nintendo is going to explore making games with shorter development cycles.

They are also making investments in their development teams to preserve the way they've always made games.

Poverty isn’t a bug of capitalism. It’s a feature. It’s the most important item on the design spec.

This type of LLM usage will just end up making us lazier and stupider. Just fucking stop it. Do the bare fucking minimum at your job.

Carney: cmon bro just one more trickle down economics. It’ll actually work this time i promise bro the corps will not be literal satan this time for realsies

C-suite insanity.

This. This is what makes me fucking foam at the mouth.

I dunno man if you can be Brenda and John Romero and get your game's funding cut with no warning... what industry even is there

If I were doing layoffs this often I might begin to wonder if I was bad at owning a business

This is exactly it. If you want the next indie hit, fund stuff that doesn't look like it'll be the next indie hit. 99% of it won't be the next indie hit.

My actions are inconsequential, but I’m done with Microsoft. I’ve been flirting with dual-booting Linux on my gaming PC but I’m just gonna go all in. No more Windows or Microsoft services. I’ll also start looking into moving my personal (and my company’s) repositories away from GitHub entirely.

Microsoft confirm they've supplied AI tech to the Israeli military for use in Gaza, following BDS Xbox boycott Microsoft have finally spoken out about reports that they have supplied tech for the Israeli military's attack on Gaza, after calls for a boycott of Xbox games.

I hate to post this today, with all the news, but the genocide goes before all. Microsoft confirms it is supporting the genocide with AI tech. Israel never does anything but hurt Palestinians in Gaza, so "it's not used to harm Palestinians" is bullshit.

It’s a cult.

seeing people hit by the layoffs today who have worked in the industry for DECADES. one guy had worked on fucking STAR WARS GAMES FOR THE SNES, another had been at blizzard since starcraft.

that kind of continual experience in the industry is like gold dust, and MS are just throwing it in the bin

bluesky after a bunch of time:

❌ polls
❌ edit post
❌ visibility settings
❌ bookmarks
❌ analytics on posts
❌ decentralization

✅ Importing twitter drama and bad policies

Absolutely incredible turnout for Budapest Pride! So proud of all the organizers, including some old friends, who estimate hundreds of thousands— major embarrassment to Orban

Because their campaigns aren’t entirely built on the legacy of their last name

OK, here is your one-minute primer on the whole concept of "trickle down economics," from the obituary of Fred Smith, the founder of Fedex.

I mean, if you still can't see it, I have no hope for you.

Europeans had 20 years to learn from the humiliation of Iraq & Afghanistan. They had time to develop a strong united foreign policy.

But as usual here, inertia won the day. This week it feels Europe is even more irrelevant on the world stage than in 2003.

A 🇺🇸dependent continent will never be free.

The American people were lied to about Vietnam, with tragic consequences.

The American people were lied to about Iraq, with tragic consequences.

The American people are being lied to again today. We cannot allow history to repeat itself.

Honestly, you can say what you want about Trump but unless the world collectively rejects him and his government entirely, he will rule by way of the mobster he is: simply by having the biggest stick, starting fires to drive up urgency, and offering "my deal or no deal".
