My good friend Dollie has recently gone through a pretty traumatic accident while visiting the US and has encountered major expenses as a result. If you have a few $$ to spare, please take a look at their story here chuffed.org/project/1914...

Bethesda Games Studios’ Montreal workers are being treated especially poorly by XBOX and we won’t stand for it. Here are the details. If this upsets you let Microsoft know: feedbackportal.microsoft.com/feedback/ide...

My story about the Hasbro in gaming news is that from first-hand experience, the studios they bought had great talent and could definitely make a great game, but they were constantly hampered from above into spending that time adapting to new cost saving measures every deliverable
After several years running touting its big push to develop video games in-house, Hasbro has canceled multiple in-development projects and seems to be backing off. https://kotaku.com/hasbro-56-million-impairment-charge-video-games-canceled-2000718018

Say what you will about the state of Bluesky, but the Bloodless Quant versus Treatlerite debate is my optimist view of a healthy full political spectrum after we've moved past giving reactionaries any kind of power in society
Many people, including one former BLS economist, seem to read this as an attack on the concept of charts or statistics and not on a particularly unpleasant and dickish way of engaging with people.

Hanes: Who is behind the growing number of hate crimes in Montreal? montrealgazette.com/opinion/colu...
Pedestrianized streets in Montreal are something else! All the business patios were full of customers, and tons of people were laughing, chatting, and dancing in the street. Who wouldn't want more of this in their city?
Everyone is so used to products being from either a top 100 global company trying to establish a new market monopoly, or a startup trying to go x1000, that they can't understand that sometimes it's possible for someone to just release something that a few people will buy and get value out of it
Happy 30th birthday, King's Field II! This was the game released as just 'King's Field' outside of Japan and gave us our first taste of Fromsoftware. This is one of my core early PS1 game memories. Fighting carnivorous plants by swing a sword slowly and carefully.

The irony is they are replacing all their non-union humans with agents run by a single organization that can demand changes in wages (aka token costs) overnight without bargaining.
Since we can now have 10 images per post, let me recommend 10 recent indie games! All from the past 3 years, no big obvious hits. No AI or genocide support either! Names & descriptions on Alt Text.
Mina the Hollower is extremely my thing, and unfortunately a game I will accept no nuance or criticism of. If the game does something a certain way, it's probably because it makes the game better, by definition. Anything I don't derive pleasure from is a personal failure of mine to appreciate art
FINALLY I can publicly say that Mr Magpie is being published by @bhvr.com, the creators of Dead by Daylight! It's been great working with them. Everyone on the team is bright and talented. We are super lucky to have them in our corner. youtu.be/1gHE0TOoP5g

I think about the Kharkanas trilogy way more than it sales should indicate. There's a lot about fanaticism and how you can get caught up in horrible things without even thinking about it. But it's also about how love and compassion drastically shapes the world both for good and ill (1)
Justin Wolfers@justinwolfers.bsky.social · 2mo agoMy son just posed a lovely question: What piece or pieces of media -- movie, song, book, TV show, article, poem, etc -- has really changed how you think? (How you think about life, about the world, or just how you think.) Would love to hear your answer.

Getting back into indie gamedev communities is remembering just how many guys go into games like "how do I make a self-modifying executable in Rust? An if-branch is too slow for my needs" with no game to show
