@julieelven.bsky.social Meep! Do you happen to know if the game music concert in the Netherlands is happening again this year? It's been an absolute blast over the past few years and I really hope we can continue the tradition of introducing people to game music this way!
As promised, PMG has just donated $5000 to the Palestine Children's Relief Fund. We've made the donation to PCRF directly as our fundraiser on YouTube has now completed, but if we add the two figures together that's a total amount of $61,914.62. Thank you so, so much to everyone who participated!
Dutch firework related news is funny sometimes. The front page had 2 stories. One about the celebrations being a battlefied and the other noted the area I live in was really quiet and nothing happened. Imo the rest of NL needs to learn to responsibly shoot their rockets :P Clearly it can be done!
It is interesting how they teach you at school about the mining barons & the industrial revolution era textile industry, all to show you how bad the workers have it only to enter the games industry and notice a shocking amount of similarities!
I am working today. That's right, I'm not spending time with my entire extended family. I'm not eating a turkey dinner. You may be wondering: Robin-Yann, how do you have such an incredible work ethic? I will give you the answer, and it's a actually quite simple:
Hey all, do I have any UK based concept artists following me (or who knows anyone) who would be up for a long term 22 month contract working on Dragonwilds at Jagex? Remote with a very occasional day in office in Cambridge. Development experience and fantasy genre work is a must. Mid level role.
THREAD. 3 years ago, with no warning, a brilliant orange farm cat wandered over from the draughty barn where he had been living, in rural Cornwall, and decided he wanted to live with us instead. We decided to call him Jim. This is the first photo I took of him, on that night: December 1st, 2022.
EXCLUSIVE: So far it's been unclear what proof Rockstar Games has to justify its firing of 34 union members, who it claims were leaking "confidential information in a public forum". PMG has now seen some of the messages which contributed to this decision being made. www.youtube.com/watch?v=8TvW...

If you’re a designer in the game industry, please fill this in to help the next generation: forms.office.com/pages/respon...

I wonder if alt text is just used to better train AI models...
Missing content can lead to funny systems sometimes :P
To your eternity S3 is insanely good. I love how many questions it poses. The characters are all so strange yet effective.

Over the weekend, my wife's 13-year-old niece stayed with us. And I got an up-close look at how Roblox has turned so many kids into gambling addicts. The niece even admitted as much as she and her friends opened boxes for rare pets that could be sold/traded for more currency to place more bets.

What if I don't *want* to simplify my games? What if I like them like a spider's lair - full of connections everywhere, creating endless depth that, once you touch it, will never let go?
Windows should remove the "picture screen" before the login screen for the pc. I always start typing too early - resulting in an incorrect password. That screen does nothing but steal seconds of my day!

Today was good! I made 2 new friends on league and had a great time
