A quoi sert le PS ? Fin 2025, Olivier Faure avait sauvé la Macronie. Le Parti Socialiste avait refusé de censurer le gouvernement Lecornu, en échange notamment du non-doublement des franchises médicales. Eh bien, devinez quoi... #plusjamaisps

Literally what fandom discourse has turned into I fear.

13 ans avant la Star Ac', les Guillemot ont l'idée de regrouper leurs talents dans un château en Bretagne. C'est là qu'Ubisoft, jusqu'ici distributeur, devient développeur. Un joyeux bordel créatif, mais des équipes qui "se faisaient truander", estiment-elles aujourd'hui. 40 ans d'Ubi, partie 2/6.

En 1988, pour servir la légende Ubisoft, un vieux château breton, des ordinateurs et de la bière à volonté

« La saga Ubisoft » (2/6). En 1988, l’éditeur français de jeux vidéo installe ses jeunes développeurs dans une bâtisse à Monteneuf, non loin de Carentoir (Morbihan), le fief de la famille Guillemot. U...

People in the replies seem confused so: slop is a genre invented by humans. Mr Beast videos, for example: hyper-optimized for the algorithm, soulless, plastic. Pre-AI. AI slop is merely a mass-produced reflection of the worst parts of human nature, at scale. It's really bad! But we did it first.

This was a fascinating exercise: find out what went wrong with creativity in the games industry. The conclusion: there are too many cowards controlling too many critical levers, and until we figure out how to put people -taste, creativity, and craft- back at the top, we're going to be stuck.

👀Looking for mid/seniour dev 👀 Prototype and future work. - UE5 - Single player, Im-sim RPG. - Lots of NPC systems, Gameplay Ability System (GAS), Level and Character proc gen. - Small seniour team. Full time or Part time. My cat photo attached as repost payment.

Sin that must be eternally punished is a culturally Christian idea that you can and should reject. If someone admits wrongdoing and changes their behavior, that's the desired outcome. You don't continue to punish because you then signal there's no point to contrition at all, you're damned either way

I was lucky enough to be able to help a friend work on their game. It turns out that when I'm able to work properly I'm like really fucking good at what I do. I'm the first surprised tbh

“Mean girl vibes” always just means a woman who doesn’t let you abuse her

Sarah Z@sarahz.bsky.social · 3w ago

I truly believe "mean girl vibes" has to be one of the worst phrases to gain popularity over the last few years. For when you've chosen to hate a woman (always a woman; there's no "mean guy vibes" phrase equivalent!) for no discernible reason and you've decided that makes it her fault

A friend once told me that love means someone looks at you in totality and doesn't want to look away. It sounds terrifying, and it can feel terrifying, but I don't think you will ever find anything as wonderful as someone truly seeing you without so much as a wince.

It me

Today is a great reminder that we can never be too ready.

it's a horror game about a bird trying to write a screenplay.

The amount of institutional knowledge and actual value that companies have pissed away for short term gains should be criminal, in all industries, esp if you add the destruction of mentorship since the great recession, as no one senior could afford to retire, or wanted train to their replacement...

HolBolDoArt🏳️‍🌈@holboldoart.bsky.social · 4w ago

It's crazy that the entire industry at large has forgotten how things were made even just over a decade ago because they keep firing everybody until they decide it's not worth being in the industry at all. You lose any veteran talent, and everyone has to keep relearning the same stuff over and over

Behind every "solo dev success story" is usually a partner working 9-5 for years to pay the bills.

Cara Ellison@caraellison.bsky.social · 4w ago

game devs: what are the myths that a lot of players of games think are true about making games that are completely untrue? If you could snap your fingers and they suddenly all knew the truth about it what would it be?

imagine if they fired every band member every time an album came out

The game industry is so fucking back

I spoke to the director and top designer of Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League. They were remarkably candid, telling me that the experience made them dislike making games. But now they're teaming up on an indie project to get their passion back. New column: www.bloomberg.com/news/newslet...

witnessing the birth of a new all timer post is such a beautiful thing

Adding another games industry layoff to the list because a project fell "short of expectations" and when are we going to talk about those expectations, who is setting them, and accountability for that?

The world is organized around protecting men from accountability and protecting D&D players from learning a better game
