“To allow universities to be bossed by political operatives in this way undermines the basic ideals of the university as well as [its] important links to the future of critical thought, dissent, and democracy.”

—Judith Butler

Today’s mantra is “do no harm; take no shit.”

Man, I know my outreach here is limited but I just got laid off at 2K after working on BioShock 4 for a year and a half. To say I'm gutted is a complete understatement.

If anyone is in need of a friendly, fast and heavily driven animator with a lot of games experience please do let me know :)

Thank you to everyone who's played SWORD OF THE SEA so far. There's no thrill quite like launch day when people actually seem to resonate with all that work! It's been so lovely reading the messages. This was a huge labor of love from all at @giantsquidstudios.com !! ♥️🌊🙏

If you just really want to hear me explain why so many publishers are just utterly useless now, here's a talk for you.

And thank YOU @alexjaffe.bsky.social !!!

We should probably be clear eyed about the fact that Microsoft purchased a huge roster of some of the world's best game development studios only to turn around and use them all as kindling for its ill-begotten AI boondoggle

Nine thousand people didn't get laid off so Microsoft can stay in business. It's a profitable company - very profitable in fact. They got laid off because they are not making magic Copilot beans, and Microsoft wants to spend more money on magic beans

Teachable moment, do NOT stalk your favorite devs / creators / streamers. Even unintentionally following folks in public is really not okay. When I was a more public facing dev, these sort of interactions were borderline scary at times. youtu.be/0EBSI8tgTqg?...

Eeeeeee! Happy early Birthday to me! I have somehow managed to book the Eevee Jet to Japan later this month! #eevee #eeveejet #ana #japan #pokemon

"Morning, Jim!"
"Hey, Tom."

This whole “raw dog a flight” trend is so stupid. In the 80’s and 90’s, if the one movie, the food, and the radio on the plane were down, we were forced to just sit there for hours on end. It wasn’t fun. Folks would think y’all are crazy for voluntarily subjecting yourself to this nonsense.

In an absolutely incredible turn of events, @pcgamer.com picked up @champlaincollege senior student game Triage in their best “games you may have missed” of the week! Congratulations to everyone on the team! We are so proud of you. www.pcgamer.com/software/pla...

I grew up in a rural NH town with less than 500 people. Gutting the department of education could remove access to education for hundreds of people just like me who grew up in areas states cannot afford to fund. He is dooming countless children’s futures and I can’t fathom the consequences.

(Forgot to add, the tattoo artist is one of very few women trained by a Japanese master - Jill ‘Bonnie’ at Studio Kazoku! She was incredible!)

I played at Day of the Devs and loved this! The dialogue is so witty and the stickers are going right up on my fridge. The second I saw the top and bottom joke I knew I needed to play.

I feel your pain! I’m always too shy to ask for photos with fellow devs and actors who I adore!
