The Video Game History Expansion Pack – Pitch your story Today I’m putting my money where my mouth is and launching a new project — a book focused on game history outside of the usual North American perspectives.

So, today I'm announcing a new book project... and doing a call for papers: crpgbook.wordpress.com/2025/10/31/t...

It's an anthology of video game history outside the usual US perspective - an accessible & exciting panorama of different realities - and I'll pay 300 USD per article.

Please share :)

very good thread about making decisions in game dev during full on production

A team can get really paralyzed waiting for things to be Decided™

One of the most valuable things a senior can do on a team during production is make quick decisions to "put stakes in the ground" even on topics that are not yet 100% confirmed or aligned, and then document/broadcast those decisions.

The Excavation of Hob's Barrow is a blood-curdling 55% off in the Steam Halloween sale!
A perfect time to play our folk horror adventure game inspired by movies such as The Wicker Man & the works of M.R. James, with a little pinch of Twin Peaks and Lovecraft.

The Outer Worlds 2 is out!

Kudos to everyone who contributed to the game. It was easily the most fun project I've ever worked on.

Here are prerequisite credits shots from it:

it's not "if" the bubble bursts but "when"

We need more developer-centered industry third spaces that don't cost an arm and a leg to get to or participate in.

If you run one or know one, now's a great time to bring attention to it.

wanted to boost this again since, unsurprisingly, nothing has panned out (remember this isn't normal!) open to contract and full time work, games-adjacent or no

Cow Play(test) Cow Moo next week at Playtest Zero! For our SEA-friendly session, join us next Tuesday, 4 November at 8 pm (GMT+8) over at the Session Zero Discord server to do some 1-hour playtests of TTRPGs/game bits and chat with other designers! (Image unrelated)

it always seemed obvious to me that narrative consultancy (and sensitivity reading more specifically) was about getting ahead of the reaction and giving you the chance to think about how unintentional choices might be received instead of waiting for the thing to come out and people hate it

adoi, what kind of behavior...

but its good that he took it down and hopefully dia stop kacau your family

yeah no I understand what you're saying but the real point of my original post is I don't like jinshi and i was just looking for more reason to dislike him so lets leave it at that

don't worry, no matter what you show me I won't like Jinshi

Goodbye, My Rose Garden volume 1 manga cover.

started reading Goodbye, My Rose Garden

it's a yuri manga that's set in 1900s England and spotlights the homophobia & lesbophobia of society in that period

so far it's a very good read and the art is beautiful

you get it

is there a source on that?

calling yourself a real freak but being scared of a little ntr

imagine yourself as the homewrecker not the one being homewrecked idiot

Don't forget this hot garbage they tried to sneakily roll out the other week

not sure how anyone can walk away from Apothecary Diaries season 2 still considering Jinshi an interesting character when someone as compelling as Shisui is introduced

it can be said that the most noteworthy new topic about Jinshi in S2 is the size of his penis

apparently Natsu Hyuga originally planned to kill off Jinshi from Apothecary Diaries and yeah...

every major character has an interesting quirk/journey while Jinshi spends 40 episodes wondering "i look like the former emperor and i can go anywhere in the palace have they figured out i'm the prince"

sad to see NWJZ lose their case against ADOR

those girls (and all k-pop artists) should get labor rights

the new Umamusume concert song released in the JP version is an enka song?

The Outer Worlds 2’s satire has a Microsoft-shaped problem The team at Obsidian talks about returning to the RPG series after becoming part of a giant corporation.

Incredibly exchange where Leonard Boyarsky says Microsoft has never told Obsidian what to do right before a Microsoft rep tells him not to talk about Israeli apartheid

Hey look, YouTube is doing a thing that no one asked for, benefits no one, wastes resources, reduces functionality, destroys original content, burdens infrastructure, and worsens the user experience all so they can push a false narrative about tech that fundamentally doesn't work the way they want.

For gamers who aren't in game dev, you should know that we are in one of the worst periods in game dev history in terms of industry stability and the reason you're not seeing that play out through products is because the average development window of games is 3-7 years so it hasn't reached you yet.

Villanarei cosplaying Mima from Perfect Blue. She is standing in front of a mirror and looking to the side of the camera with a frightened expression. Her reflection is looking at her with a creepy smile.

Let’s end all of this. We don’t need two Mimas now, do we?
