Genuinely can't believe it. Started this year with just over 500, and now we're already here. If you've subscribed or watched, thanks so much!

A YouTube comment saying “I’m a solo indie dev struggling with burnout and this video brought me to tears.”

Not going to make a habit of sharing nice comments but this is my first time hearing this. I’m always grateful when a video of mine has some sort of impact and I’m glad they felt like they could share

I cannot recommend Pizza Bandit. It's a poorly made game, and the presence of what I believe to be AI-generated assets signals a general lack of care or attention to detail. My full breakdown youtu.be/qCTZ7K44aTA?...

Crying because I finally got approved for a laparoscopy to treat my endometriosis … we are back in truly unimaginable ways !!!!!1!!!

Wouldn't have minded if it was just claiming any revenue, but it's actually attempting to block the video from going live, and WB has thirty days to contest, so I'm in a bit of a digital limbo here.

Had intended to upload a video on Weapons tonight, but it has unfortunately been hit by three separate copyright claims from WB. Shame as it's a bit timely, but I don't know when I can expect it to go up now. Have contested the claims, of course.

The entire Al Jazeera crew for Gaza City was assassinated last night.

Israel did this to minimize reporting of their planned, criminal occupation. International intervention is now the minimum position.

Hi there. I’m looking to speak to creatives/artists/art enjoyers who would categorize them self as anti generative AI. If you have time for a conversation, it would help me greatly.

Thank you

Post from Radically Misinformed - YouTube Thanks to becoming monetized last month and my Peak video getting quite a few views, I will be getting a bit of money from YouTube at the end of this month. ...

Let me (maybe) get you a game youtube.com/post/UgkxlhA...

Oh my

YouTube video by fias_house Putting Off Mother 3

new video!! I played mother 3 for the first time recently after putting it off for a decade, so here's a short rumination on expectations and just doing the thing

In just six days, my Peak video has managed to hit 41,000 views. Genuinely delighted that so many people have taken the time to watch.

jason schreier is getting these updates almost faster than i, an impacted employee at zenimax online studios, am. which is creating a borderline slapstick layer to this experience

One mistake people make with these letters is assume they're written for humans, but they're not. There's no contrast.

They're written for shareholders, & for them, this text is just a non-stop parade of good news. Record numbers? All verticals up? Layoffs?! What a feast, for them, what a feast.

As one illustration of just how sloppy and chaotic today's mass Xbox layoff has been, some employees at Zenimax Online Studios are now watching their Slack accounts abruptly get locked out. No message from HR, no word on whether they still have a job, just an ominous Slack deactivation

Thank you!

Snap!

I’m incredibly grateful to say we hit 2000 subscribers over night. Truly an astonishing figure and double the (pretty lofty) goal I set myself at the start of the year

Thanks! I'm still not seeing an option unfortunately

Sent an email!

Thanks for your response! Could you open DMs so I can get in contact? Thanks

Thanks will reach out!

hello, hire me please! my work at RPS is officially wrapped up now, so if anyone's got some regular news, PR, copywriting etc. work going, feel free to reach out!

My lovely partner has informed me that this sounds like a job offer. Apologies for any misunderstanding, it’s actually research for a piece

Hello! A request of the internet, if any game developers see this (bonus points if you work in digital art or use Unreal Engine 5) would you be open to chat to me about an upcoming project?

Thank you so much!

Feel incredibly lucky to say this has reached 12,000 views in just 21 hours!

So I’ve been playing Peak recently.

Been telling myself to play this for some time and I finally bought it yesterday. Looking forward to getting stuck in

Sounds about right
