So why do I just learn about the existence of Kitten Space Agency, by the creator of Kerbal Space Program??

BlueSky, why didn't you tell me about it earlier??

Ash Parrish

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!

You know what? I would have accepted to present him this trophy.
This is so absurd and self-satirical that it's perfectly sarcastic.

My LinkedIn feed shows me only 2 kind of posts:

- People looking for a job after they've been laid off.
- AI slop.

Our time sucks.

The news itself is shit, but I like the transparency of the message.
But still, that's another round of layoffs ๐Ÿ˜ฉ

Well, France was instrumental in the creation of the USA, so I guess it's still on brand.

Well, it clearly follows the post COVID over-investments and the painful current market difficulties.
Hopefully the impact of Ubisoft's "reset" will be limited in France.๐Ÿคž

You can buy a lot of Tylenol with $400 million though.

This is not McQueen on the set of LE MANS.
This is someone's fantasy of what they think McQueen on the set of LE MANS looks like.
Why use AI to for that??
There are plenty of existing real images of McQueen on the set of LE MANS.

FIFA boss Gianni Infantino apologises for fans joke - and insists Trump deserved peace prize Gianni Infantino suffered a backlash after joking that: "For the first time in history... no Brit was arrested during a World Cup. Imagine!"

FIFA boss' complete bingo card in a recent interview:
๐Ÿšฉ"Trump deserves FIFA peace prize."
๐Ÿšฉ"No reason to call for boycott of the US for next summer World Cup."
๐Ÿšฉ"Russia should be unbanned and able to play again"
๐Ÿšฉ"No reason to ban Israel from playing"

Once again, big money is attracted by fascism.

Pretty excited I caught my first airplane in front of full moon of 2026.

Is there a way to try Google #Genie3 without being in the US and pay 250$/month?
It feels like there are only AI "enthusiasts" testing it currently, and I haven't yet seen a test that mentions the limitations from a gamedev perspective. It might be why it is behind a huge paywall, though.

My point is, it is not gamedevs that will decide if AI slop will prevail in the future. It's not gaming executives either, even if they try hard.
At the end of the day, it will be the players who will decide. If they are ok with their experience with AI generated games, well then we will be cooked.

Those are nice tech demos, but not games. Honestly, if I learned something during my career, it's that making games is a real job by professionals, and gamers are most often than not terrible gamedevs.
But they know when they play a good game. They just don't know what makes a good game.

Time to climb! Cairn is available now.

Mount Kami awaits, unconquered.

This is what you trained for: fight for every meter of the climb and rise to the challenge.

Most BigTech companies fail when making video games because their executives don't understand how complex it is to make a game compared to their core business.

Sure they hire top talents and invest top money, but then they don't give devs the time and trust they need to build something strong.
