No One Was Around To Collect Life Is Strange: Double Exposure's Award For Social Impact Following Layoffs It was among Balatro, Astro Bot, and other winners at the 2025 Game Developers Choice Awards

I'm not a fan of the narrative that "no one" was there to accept LIS: DE's award because I was in the audience that night and I would have gladly done it if given the opportunity. So often Black people are erased from our accomplishments and from the conversation.

i never finished britpop by ag cook because it’s damn near a triple lp lengthwise but it’s sooo good

its supposed to represent the past present and future of the label so the first chunk is experimental, then it’s like fuzzy indie rock, then ends with just like. really solid alt pop

listening to my fav dark ambient album at the gym today for game sound design inspo

MEEEE i bounce between stuff like remedyverse hyperpop and jojo’s bizarre adventure like nobody’s business

no sincerely- i really think that was the answer this time because just saying goodbye to sf and resuming my senior year last year was a wild jump- giving myself the space to really process the week with tons of lovely people really helped

somehow i’ve avoided the worst of the post gdc funk? like i came away this year happier than i’ve been in months and i’m still kinda riding that honestly

may the big bat bless your timeline.

one episode into severance and good lord.

Instantly had to look up if this is real and lmao

Couldn’t have asked for a better closing to the week ♥️ #GDCfeet

Heading home from GDC. This week was a potent reminder that people make games. People are the heart and soul of this industry. People are creative. People share their hopes and fears and dreams and lived experiences to ensure games continue to be an art form first and foremost.

GDC 2025 TAKEAWAYS:

1) It’s Not Me, It’s The Industry
2) Everyone Should Wishlist Despelote
3) Climbing Is Fun Even If It Seems Like Only Millennials Talk About It
4) Me Not Watching Severance Is. A Personal Moral Failing At This Point

My main takeaway from this GDC is that there's a generation of incredibly talented young gamedevs that just need someone to give them a chance

WHAT ABOUT THE FREE BEER & POPCORN …

waymos are neat but they also remind me how in 17776 everyone went back to old technology because it made them feel more human
