I'd look at the life expectancy of the general population in French Normandy.

Glad that the people travelling to Stockholm for the For Devs conference will get to enjoy appropriate local autumn weather. 🌧️

I'll however take the credit for pushing @outstar.bsky.social to apply to that community developer role, hiring her and getting her to Sweden. I often reflect on it as one of the best hiring and decisions in my career. ❤️

I've spent 5 years at Paradox during the development of Bloodlines 2, very excited for everyone who has been involved with this project to see it live.

I've zero credit to take or stories to tell about this project, better people than me have always been the ones making the hard decisions for it. 🖤

Finally got my final trophy in Helldivers 2, platinum baby. Did it all for Super Earth.

AI is not killing jobs, US study finds Research shows little evidence that cutting-edge tech such as chatbots is putting people out of work

Boosters: AI is changing everything, you're either on board or you're left behind!

Reality: AI has had little impact on the labor market, adoption across industries is very low, and execs claiming that they automated junior roles are often simply lying

Sorry to hear, Dale. That's a beautiful and touching memory ❤️

Once again, incredibly good and very difficult to argue against.

Political Overhaul for Frostpunk 2 - mod.io - 6 new communities with two Zeitgeists (the goal is 12). - Two new city statistics: Strain and Corruption. - Brand new law categories and new options for existing categories. - New events, moral deci...

As surprising as it might seem for someone working at @mod.io, I tend to be mostly a vanilla player, but I can't really see myself playing Frostpunk 2 without Political Overhaul, the mod that won the contest 😅

Had a blast being part of the jury for this, even if it led to late night sessions to play all the mods. Gor worried for a minute with this contest but ended up in awe with the quality of the submissions. Still the early days for FP2 modding community, but crazy stuff already available!

Hard to explain to people without kids that my highest high right is my daughter taking a huge dump in a pot.

Time stamp will be quite critical on that one. 😅

If I'm being honest, I'd just like to have a week off to play shitloads of Helldivers 2 right now 🤷🏼‍♂️

Been playing the entries from the Frostpunk mod contest and I'm thoroughly impressed. Have a hard time imagining getting back to Vanilla which is rare for me (maybe surprisingly considering my job but on well!)

Hello! I want to speak with game journalists who left the world of ads and corporate ownership behind to build worker-owned, independent publications.

Is that you? Do you want to chat about the trials and triumphs of independent media and what it means for reporters and devs? Let's talk!

Hi! I was laid off from Firaxis this morning. I wrote leaders and civs for Civilization VII (NDA for now) and Deadpool and Storm for Marvel's Midnight Suns. I also wrote the award-nominated Hindsight.

I'm available for full time, remote work starting ASAP. DMs are open:

Incredibly frustrated to see AI functionalities I don't need, that and provide no value to me, being added to essentially all the tools and software I use. Taking space on the UI and creating frictions and frustrations in an otherwise good user experience. No AI is every day more of a USP to me.
