If you can’t risk a flop you will never make anything interesting.

A video game studio should be allowed to make a bad game and gain some institutional knowledge without being gutted, skinned, and melted it down into glue every fiscal year.

good evening i love my friends they are so creative and talented

If you're mourning the loss of a studio, if you're praying someone else picks up the IP, you have to understand that the thing you loved was never those things. It was the feelings you were shown, and the perfect storm that let something be made. No petition, no purchase of the name, can be the fix

It's great to be attached to a character or world. Movies and books and games and art let us see new things and get new experiences, that's SO IMPORTANT. It just breaks my heart to see people skip that next step, imprint on a key fact or two like a baby duckling, and then just... stay there

The Canadian government told Meta they weren't allowed to poach views from News sites when displayed, so Meta said "Fine, no news for you!" and too many people believed that "the Canadian government is censoring news on Facebook!" When in actuality it's just corporate greed, per usual.

A lot of you might not know this, but meta doesn't allowed Canadians and news organizations to post links to traditional news. That means I can't post a CBC or CNN article that refutes a misinformation account. This action by meta allowed the raise of alt right misinformation to flourish here.

Awww CBC has a US election page that is designed in the Canadian election style so I actually understand this 🥰 www.cbc.ca/news/world/u...

Rip to a legend, giving one of the most important lessons I still need to hear every day.

I know it's a meme but, I'll admit, this one got me. 😔

God I am so fucking gutted to hear the news about Bioware. My heart goes out to my friends and industry colleagues that have worked there. I’m so sorry.

Hey look! I'm giving a talk this year! It's about Reactivity in Roguelikes, building characters that can feel alive and responsive to player action. You should come see it!

Just tore my way through all four of the Ladies Occult Society books and am recommending them to everyone who likes: - Regency - Magic - Stories that are less about the magic than they are about the women and how they forge connections among themselves And now they're ✨ON SAAAAAAAAALE✨

optimist: the glass is half full Pessimist: the glass is half empty Creative Director: Well, that's two player types. Are there other player archetypes we should be targeting and if so, what's their demographic data?

Question (please share)! What games industry speaker and/or what topic (games or not!) would make you consider travel to attend a conference/convention? Or as a games industry person, what speaker from outside of games would like to see at a con? Or topics that are not games specific?

no game dev skill is more important than making up your fuckin mind

Still patiently waiting to be "left behind" by AI rather than it chasing me across every damn space like a slasher in a low budget flick.

This advice was for working out originally (not crying in physical pain just emotional, keep good form!) but it is really applicable to so many things Your body/brain still gives you full credit for the hard thing you did, the tears deduct nothing from your strengthening and skill building

Muse⁷@tlmuse.bsky.social · 2mo ago

Sometimes making things is just so fucking hard and your brain is just yelling and you want to cry with how bad at it you feel. ...and I'm forever grateful to @pantsawe.borasky.com who told me "It still counts if you're crying". And that advice was for something else, but I think it all the time.

The best way to honor the two who have left us recently, imo, is to keep being as gay as possible

Before Europeans arrived, these were some of the names for The Great Lakes: Superior: gichi-gami (great sea) Erie: erielhonan (long tail) Michigan: michigami (long body of water) Ontario: Ontarí'io\kanadario (great lake\beautiful water) Huron: karegnondi (fresh water sea)

Yes, you read right. It absolutely does say cozy fantasy. There is a lot of hot chocolate involved, and a herbo, and no one dies or is maimed on camera.

A former princess, now bounty hunter, unexpectedly finds herself raising a selkie pup... We are delighted to reveal the cover for Sweet Saints by @casskhaw.bsky.social! The author of The Salt Grows Heavy and The Library at Hellebore returns with a cozy fantasy that still has plenty of bite 🦭

My other piece of unsolicited writing advice is to always have two things going at the same time because you can use one to procrastinate on the other until they’re both done.

YAY! Nathan's book is finally up for preorder! Nathan is absolutely brilliant at combining narrative ideas with clever gameplay to make both better. You want to hear what he has to say!
