The "AAA" gaming industry is currently trapped in a cycle of "financialized" short-termism. With 3,200 layoffs announced at Xbox today, thousands of developers are losing their livelihoods to boost shareholder value, while executives remain insulated by bonuses. #GamingIndustry #TechLayoffs #GameDev

@mikejmika.bsky.social Hey Mike, have a question about your involvement with The War of the Worlds game you worked on at Other Ocean. Would you be available for DM about it? Thanks.

It would take you 90 straight days non-stop to play each of Steam Next Fest's demos for just 30 minutes each.

Epic published the source code for UE6 but it's a beast. You'll need the following to build the entire system from source: * VS2026 (they say VS2022 but you need .NET 10) * 6+ hours on a beefy machine (128GB+) * 1TB space github.com/EpicGames/Un...

I think the major revelation I had with Resident Evil Requiem is that Grace is locked in a hospital with monsters and with Leon, the monsters are locked in the hospital with him.

This looks like a ton of fun. Hopefully they'll be a demo soon. Go wishlist it and kick some fascist butt!

Most game trailers are just bad at showing what the heck the game is—often for the sake of "cinematic" presentation or fast cutting in an attempt to hack their way to retention. Fast cuts do not equal retention if the shots aren't well thought out. Fast cuts often just make the trailer confusing!

Leave it me to lock my computer by trying to do what I perceive as three simple things. Got cloned (command line), git checkout (gui), folder rename (windows explorer). Am I asking for that much?

I need AI to burn to the fucking ground already. Professional writers being paid to train AI rather than being paid to write is so depressing to hear about. The article itself is a good read because of aforementioned professional writer.

I Work in Hollywood. Everyone Who Used to Make TV Is Now Secretly Training AI

For screenwriters like me—and job seekers all over—AI gig work is the new waiting tables. In eight months, I’ve done 20 of these soul-crushing contracts for five different platforms. It’s bad.

So you enjoyed the game so much you BEAT IT then SAT THROUGH THE CREDITS and only *then* did you find out she was involved and got mad? Sounds like you don't actually care about games just about if your politics are being catered to.

At work today, our dev builds failed last night and we didn't get emails alerting us. Turns out the person who set up the email rules on auto build fails retired last week and they deactivated her AD account which caused the Azure DevOps server to deactivate the email rules she set up. Good times.

I am Canadian! I apologize to inanimate objects when I bump into them. "Eh" is a natural part of my sentence structure. I understand what "double-double" means. I measure distance in hours not kilometers. I've seen a moose in the wild, and it's just another Tuesday.

Americans: I use miles and pounds Europeans: I use kilometres and kilograms Canadians: I'm 5'11", I weigh 180lbs, horses weight 1000kgs, my house is an hour away and I drive 80 km/h to get there and I borrow my flour by the cup and by my milk by the litre.

I float somewhere between level 5 and 6. Where are you?
