Catch me begging everyone I know to see Wildwood in a theatre. Extraordinary. If you’re an animation appreciator, you cannot miss it.

“Stuff the British received willingly” and there’s whole episode on how we tricked them into liking Fosters
Josh Taylor@joshtaylor.bsky.social · yesterdayOH in ABC estimates: "For balance, would you consider a program called 'Stuff the British Gave Us'?
I’m not certain of it, but I fear that someone from my high school has started using AI to pretend they’ve just adopted a puppy
Scrolled into a clip of Richard Hammond talking about how the BBC saw early Top Gear. If you just replace “cars” with “games”, you start to see there’s some things old media institutions just cannot be made to care about, no matter how important, unless it randomly becomes a smash hit
You know search is in a bad spot when the best available SEO advice is seemingly to keyword so hard it makes your headlines completely unreadable.

Is it because he's a famous actor? The one you mention in the copyright notice on the screenshot? I guess I'll never know because I don't have three minutes to read this.
A moment to F1 post: that gigantic building they’ve put in at the top of the hill at the Circuit of the Americas is the most fuck ugly thing I’ve ever seen. One of the most beautiful turn 1’s on the calendar and they’ve ruined it to put up a second Paddock Club. #USGP

I saw a lot of would-be games writers come and go at The AU Review and precious few of them had 'it'. When Leah came on board, I knew she was different. Not just better, light years ahead of the rest. We've been lucky to have her yarns to read for so many years. Whatever is next is gonna rule.

Excited to report the boys' discord has just discovered the Withers Big Naturals mod for Baldur's Gate 3.
The first genuinely honest ad for generative AI I've ever seen, from Microsoft / CoPilot A mediocre white guy sees his non-white colleague getting praised for good work, he asks AI to *literally copy it*, and then he gets all the praise instead: www.ispot.tv/ad/SoDi/micr...

Mass Effect 1-3 coming out in the span of five years is so crazy. Is there a clearer example of how fucked development cycles have gotten than looking at BioWare’s output in the aughts?
Tried to keep mostly calm here. BioWare management shouldn't be let off the hook for its own part in the troubles of the past decade, but every story we hear about how EA mismanaged the studio is a reminder that this was entirely avoidable.
It Didn’t Have To End This Way - Kotaku
After years of strife and sabotage, BioWare is gone, and video games are lesser for it

please stop replying to game devs saying things like "well look on the bright side those laid off devs can start their own indie studios now" because eventually one of us is going to snap and "WITH WHAT FUCKING MONEY" would be a shitty last thing to hear before you die
It would be lovely if the video games industry would let the people who make the games buy food
it's 2030. there is one american game job. the game is a result of the fortnite-roblox merger. they added gatchas and ads exclusively for prediction market platforms. while you work on it, jared kushner and a random c-suite with at least 3 sexual assault cases take turns yelling at you.
