I can’t tell you how frustrating this in particular has been as a QA tester. I have seen first-hand how often high-severity bugs don’t get the priority and attention they should because “we can patch it later.” (And by “later,” there’s a 50% chance it really means “never”)
Delaney King (She/Her/Whomst)@delaneyking.bsky.social · last wk.Games are better? Listen, we used to have to ship gold masters that went to physical media- no day one patches. Tech is getting worse and you are told it is better
I never wanted to be a "in my day things were better" old lady... but I need to categorically state that technology actually WAS better. You are currently in the peak of designed obsolence, enshittification, personal intrusion and forced acceptance by lack of choice. Sure, the underlying tech...

#gamedev #winniepooh #publicdomain "When you go after honey with a balloon, the great thing is not to let the bees know you're coming." While working on The Flightless Robin, I adapted multiple scenes from the original Winnie-the-Pooh book which I will be sharing each week for the next few months.
Pixar receives a $26.2 Million Tax credit to keep film jobs in CA, and immediately lays off 10% of its work force, after making over a billion from Toy Story 5, the highest-grossing film of 2026.
Pixar's Layoffs Came Days After Receiving a $26 Million Tax Credit. So I Wrote California Officials.
State tax incentives should create and retain jobs for Californians, not subsidize corporate layoffs.

I actively make sure any contracts I take on allow me to work on my own stuff, otherwise I walk away. The smart ones hire me to do stuff adjacent to my projects so I can bring my own tech and experience into their projects
Chris Kerr@kerrblimey.bsky.social · 2w agoNEW: I spoke with multiple video game developers and a U.S. employment lawyer to learn more about restrictive side clauses that often prevent employees at major companies from pursuing hobbyist work or personal projects. In an industry renowned for creativity, why are we stifling it?
Literally what fandom discourse has turned into I fear.
this is genuinely my greatest fear about writing historical fiction. I'll spend a bunch of time researching, do my best, and some fucking chicken expert will be like "chickens are wrong"
Kristi Yamaguccimane@wapplehouse.bsky.social · 2y agoThis is the best film complaint I’ve ever seen
People will literally only follow 20 people on this site and then complain how Bluesky seems like a dead mall.
Gonna be real: it's deeply shitty to aggressively demand that artists who worked on a large project guarantee to you that nobody who touched the project used AI. They can't know that and they're not responsible for that. They can only know things within the scope of their own job.
It's taken me a long time to stop prematurely rushing to have a public opinion on controversies that are still unfolding. I think what really helped was being a part of a couple, and watching people immediately make judgements of me/my team based off of lies/incomplete information.
I hate A.I. far more than the average person, but I expected from the beginning that whoever put this together was *not* representative of the creative team behind the movie. Some of us have *got* to stop rushing to judgment. It's not fair to the artists doing their best.

Man it really is funny how some YouTube videos tried to gaslight KH3 as being this GOT mess of a finale. Yet nearly everyone who started the series in the past six years have ended up loving it.
this is why keeping corruption out of government is not some sideshow, it’s fundamental to effective governance if you cannot trust the people in charge of public health because “they changed their story due to bribes” is a legitimate inference, that is a crisis all on its own
Molly Knight@mollyknight.bsky.social · 3w agoOh! They gave millions to Trump lol. people.com/taylor-farms...
100% agreed. It may seem cheap or gauche to some people, but I genuinely feel straight up ignoring that the Piper reveal EVER happened is the only smart decision one can make at this juncture. It’s such an awful, fundamentally shoddy creative choice there’s no way to work with it.
How I Would Bring Back Doctor Who@bring-back-drwho.bsky.social · 4w ago
Not just the games industry, though certainly pronounced there - every software industry. The opportunity cost of this across the entire software space is staggering.
The main way in which AI has negatively impacted games industry jobs is not through actual automation of those jobs or even untrue claims about automation. It's by making capital unavailable because it's tied up in AI investments while also destroying the consumer base for video game hardware.
I point this out anytime someone tries to pull the “JRPGs are too hard to make” card. Bitch these are budget games. Maybe not the way Square made them, but you don’t have to make them the way Square made them! Also take a look at the thread I pulled this from, it’s a good one.
