We just hung out not too long ago... We shared a lot of laughs together at GDC and at the Gayming Mag Awards where we watched you win the Gayming Icon of the Year. I swear, it feels like I just saw you yesterday. I don't even know what to say after finding out your passing days ago. R.I.P. Becky 💔

Yup. Not once did he refer to Becky as 'she'. Kept saying her dead name, goes down to memory lane mostly of her dead identity.

This fucking industry is filled with too many influential assholes. Also, never meet your heroes.

I used to look up to you Carmack.

I always enjoyed reading your articles in Kotaku! And your shitposts against dumbass Grummz lol

Worth the read, some of the best written pieces ever. Also validating and upsetting to know that i wasn't feeling crazy that the allyship was all performative for the past few years.

Everything about this expansion is becoming so difficult to even want to resub for next season.

Splitting the factions again while pruning add-ons and not improving accessibility options is sounding more like Blizzard is getting weirdly MAGAlike and I hate this shit. Whatever.

As a colleague mentioned yesterday, Gamergate is one of the five most significant developments in US politics since the Cold War

Update: Civil War cancelled due to shooter being demographically uncooperative

Hades 2 and Silent Hill f releasing on the same date, fuck. My wallet 🙃

Apropos of nothing, here's a thread of some Charlie Kirk highlights

In the wake of Charlie Kirk's shooting, the right declared war on the left without any evidence the left was even involved. Today, multiple threats at historically black colleges/universities and at the DNC in D.C. Tell me about the inflammatory rhetoric causing violence, please.

I've been reviewing more pitches for indie devs lately, so here is your reminder that you need to look at NET revenue, not gross.

If your budget is $250000, and you're selling at $20, Steam's rake is 30%, so you're making $14/copy sold. You are recouping at ~18000 full price units sold, not 12500.

Call call call. Visa is literally begging us to stop calling and send emails. Calls cost them way more money and they can't use key words to filter them out

Companies That Tried to Save Money With AI Are Now Spending a Fortune Hiring People to Fix Its Mistakes Companies that rushed to replace human labor with AI are now shelling out to have IRL workers to fix the technology's screwups.

Thanks for having me @gaymingmag.bsky.social 🥳

It should go without saying, as someone who runs a physical video games publisher, that I am and have always been in support of the Stop Killing Games initiative.

Giving everyone the benefit of the doubt, but the criticisms thrown at it do not match my experience in the industry

This is from Haaretz, an Israeli news site. It proves that Israeli concentration camp soldiers have been ordered to deliberately shoot at unarmed Palestinians waiting for humanitarian aid.

No Western media will run this story or even refer to it, because real Western journalism is mostly dead.

Chatbots — LLMs — do not know facts and are not designed to be able to accurately answer factual questions. They are designed to find and mimic patterns of words, probabilistically. When they’re “right” it’s because correct things are often written down, so those patterns are frequent. That’s all.

We’ve partnered up with Nomsi! drinknomsi.com

With real calamansi & mango imported from the #Philippines, these #Filipino flavors give us the ultimate boost. It’s a next-level #collab that celebrates culture, community, & flavor. Let’s sip, level up, & game on together! 🍹🍋‍🟩🎮

I need y'all to understand what the NYT, Dem donors, and centrists are doing here. They're pushing the narrative that trans people went too far and we deserve what is happening to us.

It's pure victim blaming and it's not done yet, there's a Confessore piece in the works with the same framing.
