moving over to bluesky from twitter was huge for my mental health because twitter sucked so bad but over the years bluesky has now become pretty much just as bad because well it is also literally just twitter. we did build the demon again to be fair

Talk with oomf made me realize this might not be something that many people know, but some of the OG Bioware staff that left the company years ago got together with other laid off devs to open their own studio, and their first game (called Exodus) is set to release on April 2027. Give it a look.

As much as it's not really a surprise, especially given the industry right now coupled with the Saudi sale, the news today still made me sad. BioWare joins other great studios of the past, with a legacy that will not soon be forgotten. 😔 www.forbes.com/sites/paulta...

EA Shuts Down BioWare, Cancels ‘Mass Effect 5’ And Ends An Era

It’s a brutal day for the video game industry as it’s been confirmed that publisher Electronic Arts will shut down BioWare and cancel Mass 'Effect 5.'

I’m trying to feel super cool about this, especially as I have MFA students arriving tomorrow for a writing retreat. But I feel like a fucking widow. Like I lost a spouse I had all these gorgeous plans with.

I now have permission to share something I hoped would be revealed with much more fanfare I spent more than 3 years as one of the writers of #MassEffect4 It was one of the greatest privileges & GLORIOUS challenges of my life So when I say I am devastated by the end of #MassEffect I REALLY mean it

BioWare just shut down. To be honest, I've never played any of their games, but their fanbase and audience had such a massive reach it inspired and captivated millions with their IPs such as Mass Effect. I've heard this was a long time coming, given they kinda lost their touch over time.

I've always had a sneaking suspicion on AJTheWildWolf for a long time ever since coming across her Hazbin Hotel AU's. It wasn't until now I realised she's a racist transphobic bigot who interacted with minors sexually behind the scenes. She's also in her early 20's and didn't go to art school 🤷

Helen Haines’ friend Serena has spoken out, saying she hopes this attack is a turning point, & that we can all be more like Helen, by rejecting the “hatred” derived from “Trumpian” politics & being kind to people of all backgrounds.💥👏 #auspol

Helen Haines' husband, Phil, speaks from hospital: says she has lost both legs "Both her heart and her mind are in good shape" thanks her staff, locals who responded, paramedics, hospital staff "Helen's road to recovery will be long & difficult, but we know she is a fighter"

I'm a firm believer in that all of your mistakes, even the most negligible ones, can transform into one of your greatest strengths We possess such a large capacity for growth which allows us to constantly reinvent ourselves into something previously unimaginable

It’s sad some clients believe they’ll annoy the artist if they recommission them again As someone who’s commissioned many artists and does commissions too, I’m telling you artists have no issues with reoccurring clients; infact it’s usually an honor for them most of the time!

It's really disgusting now much AI-generated slop is on Steam Next Fest Remember to enable those extensions on your browser and do not cover anything that uses GenAI Do not give those games any press and recommend games that don't actually use GenAI at all Valve has to do something about this
