Worth mentioning that in Europe, Japan, and many other countries, firing someone for protected speech outside of work would be absolutely illegal and would expose the employer to all sorts of liabilities.

Getting sick of the term “political violence” when a public figure closely aligned w/one ideology or other is a victim. ICE is also political violence. Armies are also political violence. Not sure of my point - just wish for a term that doesn’t immediately wall an act like this off from all the rest

Every time I hear a kid talk about how they practiced for the mass shooting that eventually came, I think it's a searing indictment of our country's failure to actually give a shit about the safety of kids.

not to harp on about this, but tens of thousands of people have lost their jobs since the last “haha ai is shit” report your personal opinions aside, it’s impacting our industry dramatically and we need to respond appropriately
Calliope Ryder >NZGDC>MIGW@callioperyder.bsky.social · last yr.we had the same thing this time last year — a report came out that AI was useless, by a group that directly benefits from gen ai. stocks went down, we all patted ourselves on the back, then the news changed again and stocks rocketed back up. those who paid for the reports made out like bandits.
Big news, friends! Next week we’re officially announcing our studio and revealing our very first game!!! We’ve been pouring our hearts into: the world’s first single-player roguelike fighting game!

A bit of a soothing video game soundtrack on the piano for yall.

I am 100% FOMO-ing not being at GDC this year. The urge to take my car, drive up to SF, and spend some time with y'all would be the closest thing to group therapy a cathartic episode in those fucked up times. A memento from my last GDC in 2023 with the other French producer in North America.
Three weeks now since the layoff and trying to see if GDC is really the smart move for me right now…
Pro tip from a former Telltale layoff: if your instinct on someone’s “I just got laid off” post is to be snarky, cheeky, talk about how their job was your dream job, or try to minimize their pain in a desperate attempt to find an upside — don’t do that.
