Destiny didn’t fall short of expectations, LEADERSHIP did. Some of the most out of touch people who only saw the $ & held a beloved franchise to the coals because it didn’t fit their margins. Devs suffocated under the immeasurable weight of their greed. Everyone who has worked there deserves better.

Sony bought this studio thinking it was a ticket to sate their desire for a hit live game. They delivered a new live game that is one of the finest shooters ever made, and this is their reward: layoffs and uncertainty for those who remain. Who can work under these conditions?

I know the entire point of why I bought a @frame.work laptop last year was to be able to upgrade it, but seeing them announce something that will allow me to cheaply upgrade the main issues I have with my laptop (battery & trackpad) still blows my mind. And I can make it Matte Black 🤯

Marathon feels so damn good when you can turn a session around. Going from a string of runs where you get stomped on, to successfully exfilling after winning multiple fights makes you feel unstoppable.

Marathon rules. Cryo Archive rules. All I wanna do is play that game more right now. Only had a few successful runs (no vault stuff) but getting the same feels I felt after completing a new Raid in Destiny 2 in for the first time. Just want to do it again and again and again.

if you've ever wanted to tinker around and make a lil thing, PICO8 is a great tool to start with! and this video is such a nice, not-tech-heavy intro into it!!

PSA for if you've been enjoying corgispace games and/or manifestos and were thinking about maybe cracking open #PICO8 yourself... here's a short video showing how i start my games! sprites, maps, and basic gameplay code in under 15 minutes ✨ www.youtube.com/watch?v=PWsj...

i have just gotten off a productive call with sauron where i laid out our requests - nazgul bodycams - morgul knife must remain sheathed unless suspect is determined to be carrying the one ring - shelob will be the new point of contact

Wanted to start a book thread to keep myself accountable over the course of 2026, so I figured I would start it with what I read 2025! Read a lot of genres I don’t normally check out, so hoping to do more of that this year. Keeping this thread up to date as I go!

Great listen to wrap up the year! Thought the chat about AI in games was really important. It was not just simply “AI is bad” but also brought up interesting points that made me think about how minor inclusions of AI in #gamedev could affect projects/teams/studios/etc long term.
