Finding an illustrator for a children's book is murder. Anime. Purely digital glurge. Anime. Game art. They have their place, a huge place to be sure, but who is posting a watercolor - an actual watercolor, these days? I've got 12 epic images of bovine piracy that I need rendered.

A quick note: if u find yourself face-to-face with a Mattress Firm ad starring my lovable memepooch, know that it was a legit licensing agreement and it's all on the up and up. Thank you!

They just want to make everything worse. They want us to die from diseases that could eradicated. They want dirty food and air and water. They want increased child mortality. They want a more unsafe, disgusting, hateful world. And the corporate press is like “but that’s a valid perspective tho?”

100% worth it

Did Disney's Gargoyles come up at all while working on this book? I always felt it was the closest show in terms of production value and darker themes to BTAS at the time, and I wondered how much the production of batman influenced what direction Disney went in with it.

Looks like disgusting fucking slop and every actor involved is a scab

Now that the cat's out of the bag

SURPRISE

I am incredibly proud to say I got to write the OFFICIAL PREQUEL COMIC to LIFE IS STRANGE: REUNION with the amazing Claudia Leonardi on art. Writing Max and Chloe has been a genuine dream come true and I can't wait for y'all to reunite with them in March!

Love the flower print!

code-breaking is probably the clearest? easiest to read but still keeps the words connected

extremely disappointing on how you're giving up, letting us down, running around on us, DESERTING us, making us cry, telling us goodbye, telling us lies + hurting us

Miasma

Breaks my heart to share this, but today is my last day at The Verge and I am looking for work! I'd really like to stay in video games, preferably in some kind of journalistic capacity but I can do PR/Marketing and maybe even a lil Narrative Design. Please get in touch!

No fucking way, and now THIS?!

Ash is INCREDIBLE. Someone immediately employ her, to get yourself of the best voices in this whole industry.

A Dutch worker went viral after explaining to their American boss that they have a life outside work.

Uh. No.

I wouldn't make that assumption. And really I can confirm that my team resists literally every AI trap laid before us with vehement hatred for genAI content thievery.

Well I'm not.

Bitch.

Go follow my dev account to know when to wishlist on Steam @zwei2games.bsky.social. 👍

A Facebook scammer took a close relative's entire life's savings away from them. Seven decades, poof, gone. Mark Zuckerberg did that to my family on purpose to make money for himself.

OpenAI pirated large numbers of books and used them to train models.

OpenAI then deleted the dataset with the pirated books, and employees sent each other messages about doing so.

A lawsuit could now force the company to pay $150,000 per book, adding up to billions in damages.

Excited for OpenAI to IPO just so we can see what investor reactions are to spending $50B - $75B a quarter on data centers and AI researchers while losing tens of billions a quarter.

"the republicans have always been racist" yes, that is correct. they have not always felt empowered to be openly Nazi in their public life, and worked to install a Nazi president for life. These things are worse, and require an urgent response rather than an above-it-all dismissal.

we are raising the price of your free ai assistant to $1500/month and injecting mandatory ads into its output

It's 48 hours since Little Rocket Lab launched, we've been top of New and Trending for the entire time, 94% rating on Steam, huge player numbers, big numbers on Game Pass, tons of streams and YT videos...

and we've still received next to no press at all

The press for smaller games is just dead.

The elimination of exact text search from a growing number of services is a form of enshittification that I keep getting surprised by. It's search: computationally expensive (?) and a foundationally useful tool. Blunting it into uselessness is a shocking capitulation to the internet as garbage pile

you should be able to pick one week a year and sleep through it with no consequences

This “solo dev” and “only 3 devs” rhetoric is getting truly dangerously out of hand. Investors see this and think “I only have to pay 3 people” and the result is severely overworked and/or underpaid people and a subpar product. We need to stop treating outsourcers and contractors like ghosts.
