EA's annual Ebitda is around $1.5 billion, which should be enough to service the interest payments. But the publisher has told debt investors that it will cut $700 million in annual costs including $170 million in "organizational efficiencies," per Bloomberg. In other words: mass layoffs

We passed the initial goal in 4 days! So we've upped it - let's push forward to $200k!! Thanks to everyone for buying the bundle and sharing wherever you can.
In response to the unprecedented number of game developers laid off this year, we have created a bundle on itch to benefit a Game Industry Hardship Fund, managed by @videogameworkers.bsky.social. More than 100 games for 10+ bucks! Please share widely and donate generously! itch.io/b/3802/game-...
Bluesky boomer slop: peanuts from the cartoon peanuts but he's 57 and wants price controls on eggs Bluesky millennial slop: this queen (woman from thispersondoesnotexist) killed her boyfriend because he didn't appreciate her love of train facts
"yeah i just ask chatgpt and-" cool i no longer take you seriously as a person
When you want to do contactless delivery and grubhub makes you do the fucking number for the driver but the driver doesn't have texts enabled so I have to either use the telephone or get dressed and go outside (throwing up)
The TOS being so strict that they control you offsite is the problem; sites like Patreon and Kofi have offsite clauses too. The social criminalization of the suggestion that somewhere you might be doing nsfw is a problem. It's branding a person as obscene and we need consumers to stand up for us
a bunch of popular ASMR artists lost their channels forever this week, after YouTube cited them for violating terms against "sexually gratifying" content: www.404media.co/youtube-asmr...
what the fuck why does this @stupidtwink.bsky.social comic keep happening?
Jez San, founder of Argonaut, donated 2 million pounds to the conservative party in 2025. He was the biggest individual donor in Q1 of that year. Please, be informed before purchasing anything. You can emulate PS1 games on basically any device these days (even your phone) with ease.
This is Microsoft (who own LinkedIn and are first and foremost an AI company now) using free labor to improve their other AI, don't fall for this shit

Any cool international devs (preferably with a game released in the last year or so) interested in visiting Melbourne this year (for the small price of doing a short talk??)
genuinely think MMOs lost sight somewhere along the road of the ways that multiplayer in a shared, persistent world can be a wonder and not just a rote feature of the form
FFXI is the goat because I died right before the final checkpoint of the final dungeon and Ava made it tot hr checkpoint and went back to town to recruit a white mage to raise me... multiplayer is awesome
Impossible to put into words how useless Gmail search is. No wait, these guys did it!
The person behind the “firebomb a Walmart” tweet liberals/radlibs love is just a paid advertiser for gambling now. that’s so fuckin funny man
Most of them don't have the sponsorship disclosed but yeah

getting yelled at now for trying to do “sex scene discourse” I’m just saying the original odysseus was fucking. even in the wishbone version it was heavily implied
theres this one tumblr post ive seen talking about that phenomenon but w fiction writing that I think about often
I think it's absolutely good & fine for people to disagree with the essay's points but it is baffling to see complaints like "Wilson doesn't get that an adaptation makes changes" or "Wilson doesn't get cinema" or "Wilson should be more polite & gracious," like come on friends what are we doing here!
road work is allowed to start too early in the day. why are they making the loudest noises in the universe right outside my house at 8am
I'm really really happy that we can finally show folks one of the things I worked on while at Cyan. A total dream come true to get to design and write a new Myst game. Heartbroken it won't see the light of day but glad it won't sit on a shelf forever!
Over a year ago, we built a prototype for a new Myst Universe game meant for publisher eyes only. This project is NOT in active development, but we're proud of the work the team did, and wanted to share it with you all. Presenting: Project Anglerfish. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZvNGt02yZNc

👇 In reference to that SDCC Avatar Aang slide everyone is talking about. It was a page from an artbook, and the reference to Chat GPT was likely injected by the person who put the book together. Actual artists like Kat who worked on the film have no idea why it says that.
I have no clue why it was on that slide or who put it there, and every member of the crew I worked with is 100% against AI. Every aspect of the animation is handcrafted by real artists and I hope that people don’t use this slide as a reason to detract from how much love and labor went into the film.
Your food processor has a chute that fits your dick. Should you?
ChatGPT now has a space for sharing medical records. Should you?
If a librarian aired me out like this I’d dedicate the rest of my life to ruining theirs
