Sooooo, is anyone else freaking out about the increased price to their student loan payments? My monthly payments on my IDR is 8x what it was. 😰 #studentloans #callyourrepresentative

Really enjoyed listening to this interview with @edmundm.bsky.social. I wonder if... Hmmmmm... Hey Edmund, I work for a non-profit for adults on the autism spectrum. Would you be willing to do a zoom call and talk about game design and being neurodivergent with them? Love your work!

Something I've been thinking about since this interview: Yes, art is inherently political -- even if its creator doesn't like or claim or politics. But art is also autobiographical. And those autobiographical veins are worth mining.

Feeling very lucky lately. I’m just one indie dev, but I’m backed by an amazing community. Thanks for all the love, support, and shares, it truly keeps me going 🌸 Let’s keep building together, RT to spread the indie love🙏💜 #IndieGames #SoloDev #GameDev #IndieGameDev #IndieDev #PixelArt

The Avarice Awards holds a mirror to the hollow glamour of The Game Awards, as workers continue to have their livelihoods upended by mass layoffs. We are speaking truth to the powers ruining the game industry with their greed! Stream begins on December 10th at 7pm PT / 10pm ET on twitch.tv/UVW_CWA

Hey @netflix.com, I want to watch a sing along version of #KPopDemonHunters on the big screen with friends. I know some movie theaters allow private screenings. Which theaters can make this happen? Can you release a sing along version of the movie?

the thing about layoffs of this scale is that so much is happening it involves days and days of discovering fresh horrors

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE. This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined. It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

OK, so Myung-gi just got to the top of the list of characters that I hope die a painful death on #squidgame #S0302

There’s the Kristi Noem version—then there’s the truth. WATCH: Sen. Alex Padilla’s first interview since he was forced out of a federal building press conference… for daring to ask questions.

Player One in North Hollywood used to have this game. It was my favorite.

Dungeons & Dragons: Tower of Doom (1994) | beat 'em up with light RPG elements | arcades and various ports | Capcom A feast of beat 'em ups flourished in the early 1990s involving heavy hitters such as Capcom who dove into the fray with this licensed adaptation of TSR's Dungeons & Dragons world!

So excited to see what I can get done this week! *Blinks* Wait, what do you mean, "It's Friday?!"

I can't tell you how well this destroys any anxiety inside of me.

I know I've recently received a lot of new followers from GDC. My team is looking to add new talent to the production of Icopult. Stay tuned if you're interested. There may be an opportunity for you!

I'm at the @rive.app panel at #gdc2025. Man, I'd love the riv format to be integrated into Bluesky. I'd love to share with some of the work I've done without rendering to a video format. Or have peeps interact. :D

Thank you for taking time out of your day for a selfie @gamemakerstoolkit.com. I really appreciate everything you do for games education.

My fellow game devs, if we're going to stop corporate overreach, mismanagement, and mass layoffs, then we can only do so in one way. Together.

We can't save the world with games, but we can be part of why it is worth saving. We can't save the world with art, but we can brighten it. We can't save the world with play, but we can be a reminder of our humanity. We can't save the world with joy, but we can be a reprieve before the fight.

Ashley is pretty cool. I'll have to see if I can make it to this one.

Ashley Ruhl@ashleyruhl.bsky.social · last yr.

I'm so excited to be speaking at the Game Developers Conference next week! I'll be giving talks and on panels about game writing, cinematics, and trailers. #gdc2025

Get your votes in for the board of directors. #IGDA

Huh, what an accurate description.

Mickey 17: what if Hamlet and Othello were the same guy. And Starship Troopers and Lost Planet were in the mix

Y'all, #gameindustry peeps, we need to #unionize and we need to be co-owners of the IP we work on. We can't do what we love in exchange for our respect. Stakeholders can't do anything without talent. #Monolith and #WonderWoman deserve better.

Wonder Woman has been my baby for the last 3+ years. It was shaping up to be an amazing experience with a passionate team building sometime really special. I'm heartbroken. I love this team, this project, and this IP.

Jason Schreier@jasonschreier.bsky.social · last yr.

BREAKING: Warner Bros. Games is shutting down Monolith Productions, Player First Games, and WB San Diego, sources tell Bloomberg News. Warner Bros. is also canceling the Wonder Woman game.

The Wonder Woman game being cancelled is CRAZY and the team at Monolith deserved so much better. Disgusting. This industry is failing so many people.

Recently did a #casestudy of the artwork of Kyle Ferrin. Best known for his work of the #RootBoardGame. I imagined a #Capybara merchant hiding freedom fighters and smuggling goods for revolutionaries. This was a lot of fun.

What he said: "I'll save you so much money by removing redundant programs." What he meant: "I'm going to make so much money and not actually do anything about the national deficit."

Funding for DOGE has reached $40 million. Elon Musk's corrupt and illegal maneuvers are costing Americans huge sums as he exaggerates "savings" and cuts funding to crucial services. From @propublica.org: www.propublica.org/article/doge...
