I cannot emphasize enough that these people are being laid off for failing to do things that are literally impossible

If you work in a creative industry, you *must* read this

“If you were a man, every one of those negatives would be in the positive column.” - My first performance review in games included as negatives: “personality is too big, too confident, asks too many questions”

Yes, there’s a double standard

SAME

You should absolutely read Witch Hat Atelier if you haven't already! It's some of the best fantasy I've ever read. The worldbuilding, the characters, the story?? Regularly surprises and inspires me.

(local moots hit me up, I have all the currently released volumes)

less than two months after release, highguard is shutting down. the usual suspects are chalking up its demise to culture war nonsense when the truth is more mundane: mismanagement sank another project. the video game industry punishes success and failure alike, but hubris most of all

Will revisit soon when furnishing caps update. 🧵

I was surprised my mom knew I was queer when I came out to her, but now that I’m rewatching my favorite childhood movies with my partner?

We started with Rocky Horror and now The Birdcage.

ESO writers tag yourself, I'm bottom left (obviously)

Kat Abughazaleh on ICE in IL-9 debate

"We need to fully abolish and prosecute ICE. We need to repeal the Patriot Act. We need to lift refugee caps.

And we need to offer complete amnesty and citizenship to any immigrant here who has not committed a violent crime."

"who's my good girl?"

"Excellent question! Let's explore that further:

• 𝗚𝗼𝗮𝗹 𝗢𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗔𝗻𝘀𝘄𝗲𝗿 - We're trying to figure out who the good girl is, so maybe we should define good first?

• 𝗢𝗰𝗰𝗮𝗺'𝘀 𝗥𝗮𝘇𝗼𝗿 - Sometimes, the simplest answer is also the correct one!

• 𝗢𝗻𝗲 𝗥𝗲𝗱𝗱𝗶𝘁 𝘂𝘀𝗲𝗿 𝘀𝗮𝘆𝘀: "kill yourself"

rip, I promise I know how the alphabet works, I agonized over whether I wanted to add Frieren or Dungeon Meshi or Apothecary Diaries and screwed up

Saying "Indies are the future, AAA doesn't matter" doesn't acknowledge the many ways indie can also be unsustainable/exploitative--and it doesn't respect the craft of AAA devs! So many cool people making incredibly cool things that couldn't exist otherwise!!
Solidarity is important.

This was an instant pre-order, I need this!

This guy gets it.

goes without saying

The feminine urge to put a Boston accent into ESO.

If this rock was a side character in a niche PS2 game with a cult following this is what it would sound like

not a fan of remasters/remakes personally, but the business case is there. this is bad business and bad leadership, and once again it's video game workers paying the price for dipshit executive decisions.

"You think I'm cringe? Yes, I am. Revolution is not for the ironypilled. Look at us: Transes, Palestinians, SWs... blocklist-fodder. We'll all be banned before Singal is. And yet, 𝙝𝙚𝙧𝙚 𝙬𝙚 𝙖𝙧𝙚. Where are you, doll? You're here! You're not on X, you're 𝗥𝗜𝗚𝗛𝗧 𝗛𝗘𝗥𝗘, and you're ready to 𝙋𝙊𝙎𝙏"

good to know though!

lmao amazing, I fear I’m obsessed with half these characters already

Any folks know how Deadlock plays on steam deck?

Sony has pulled a generational bag fumble, and in my opinion, it's all downstream from Jim Ryan's leadership going all-in on the Live Service model and having nearly every studio working on one (Bluepoint was working on a God of War live service) and what we're seeing is the long tailed fallout.

Heart's Week may be over, but we've got a new Loremaster's Archive featuring the lovable Kuzam-jo! beth.games/3MKyloa

A fake loading screen from The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion, showing a Sigil Stone (floating black orb, wreathed in flames, with a large beam of fire shooting straight down) floating above a circle of curves spikes that all have their tips aimed at the orb, surrounding it, and the circle that the spikes protrude from are held up by giant chains. This is all inside of a hellscape-style, black and red spiky medieval tower, with a large platform in front of the orb for it to be approached from.

Pulling CPUs and RAM sticks out of AI datacenters will force them to close in the same way that removing a Sigil Stone does to an Oblivion Gate.

Realized Taliesin Jaffe plays Bigrok in the guild quest. There are so many Critical Role folks in the game already, I think he's the second to perform something I wrote? Robbie Daymond was the first with Grander Nemarcet in the West Weald delve quest "A Matter of Propriety."
