1 step further than 'why didn't they just cast internally?':

If they wouldn't even do that, did they really care about it? Does it belong in the game or did they under-value it? What else did they cut corners on? Does that sound like creative vision and passion I'd trust?

not even mayor yet and he’s already potentially getting big wins like this. there was a whole class of centrist writers who, after zohran won, immediately said he would not be able to get anything done, and particularly pointed to raising taxes as one very out of reach for him

this story was sort of lost in the last few days of the epstein news but it’s wild how many republicans appear to be pedophiles or okay with pedophilia

Want to look through Jeffrey Epstein’s documents yourself?

We published a searchable database of the entire set of new Epstein files and emails.

Despite Trump saying this is a scam, Trump is mentioned more than anyone else. Search for yourself here: journaliststudio.google.com/pinpoint/sea...

this is a far more explicit death threat from people with the actual means to carry it out

'Matt Gaetz Raped A Homeless Teenager' is what you mean.

A teenager with a homeless parent? What? The fuck? Did she have a home and not allow her parent to live in it? Ended up having sex with? What? Yeah clearly you guys been caping for pedos long enough and you understand the assignment here

Oh sure yes governing is only possible when you’re far removed from the teeming masses, adjudicating their lives at arm’s length for the greatest possible clarity and breadth of vantage, and also because poor people are so gross

NICEF, Taegen-She's manipulative (At least at first).
DKD, Kyoka-she's inherently arrogant. Until you realize she can back it up, it's offputting.
CW, Rieka-she is SO shy and reclusive (at the start), she'd be hard to engage

We don’t use generative AI at Strange Scaffold and I can confirm that a *lot* of other studios are not—whether indie or AAA.

Get outta here with this normalization bullshit.

The insistence on making these robots bipedal is probably the most obvious giveaway that it's all a big carny gimmick

Happily birthday~
I was walking home with groceries the other day and a cat crossed the street just to entreat me for scritches.

Tall, muscular woman standing in a desert landscape. She wears plain, worn, peasant clothing, is holding the top of a large axe, has warm, brown skin, and long, curly, black hair. She has an enormous, straw hat that resembles a witch hat in shape, and has a stern, resting glare.

Far Flame
She's like 6'8" even without the hat

‘We were effectively props’: young stars of game development feel let down by the ‘gaming Oscars’ Announced in 2020 by the Game Awards as an inclusive programme for the industry’s next generation, the Future Class initiative has now been discontinued.

Honestly this feels indicative of the larger industry overall. DEI was a big talking point as long as it made for good PR. The moment it was no longer en vogue? Say goodbye to anyone who was advocating for it, swept up in larger mass layoff efforts.

Much of the hand wringing, imo, is over a critic explicitly saying they are judging the moral fabric of a piece of art because of the tools used to create it and it’s making some folks feel uncomfortable and shamed. The people who feel that way should sit with that feeling.

Maybe blatant nepotism is a red flag, actually. Maybe we shouldn't treat it as quaint and cute. 🤷

Bracketing that they absolutely failed here. And bracketing that such a failure reflects a dearth of discipline, understanding, and acumen...

They just don't got the juice, man. Absolutely sauceless leadership.

"We found out later that Keighley had a party in another room with all the influencers and industry people. You know where Future Class met that day? At a Starbucks.”

SEATTLE!!!

We’ve now taken the lead by 91 votes! 🤯 This thing is certainly not over! Over 1,000 ballots have been challenged, so if you haven’t tracked your ballot yet get on it! Our trusty volunteers have been working hard to "cure" ballots so they count! We're so close!

Genuine question for creatives out there:

What do you do when the art you don't enjoy making as much gratuitously outperforms art you enjoy more?

Do you focus on what performs better, or what feels better to make? Do you try to find a balance of both, even if the audiences are very different?

As we contemplate the end of the shutdown, consider class issues here. Yesterday, I wrote that Democrats had been holding the line on the shutdown because they calculated that damage done to poor people on SNAP was acceptable to support working class people on the exchanges.

Trump changed the math.

PLEEEEEASE

Anything short of calling for Schumer to be replaced is performative outrage designed to mollify you

The coordinated nature of this—none are facing voters in 2026—means that either Schumer approved it or failed in his job as Senate Majority Leader to stop it.

Dems voting "no" get zero credit until they demand a change in leadership. Schumer out as Leader, Durbin out as Whip.
