The secret PAX East panel “How to Take a Company Photo” by @thejenna.bsky.social, me, @designdelve.bsky.social, and @rexiconjesse.bsky.social (feat. special guest @matthewkrol.nebula.tv)

They just changed back the avatar and privated all the gambling videos, so maybe there is a second chance now...

Or they're just trying to avoid being shadowbanned after the bad press

They did the same for the 3DS, where languages were sold separately...

At least it was half the price.

Make sure to watch it, because I got @elcheshire.bsky.social to make a very special Bionicle art somewhere in the video!

After some recent news I read, I can't express how grateful I'm to be part of
@secondwindgroup.com

A great team with amazing talent and energy.

I sometimes feel guilty about being able to enjoy working with such wonderful people haha

Second Wind, a company made up of former Escapist creatives, is a profitable small business with a six-figure war chest, half a million YouTube subs, and nearly 90M views in under 2.5 years

the company that let that talent slip away is laying off what workers that remain and pivoting to AI

Today we're excited to open up registration for our upcoming Second Wind Games Showcase which will air on April 23rd, 2026!

No hosts, no filler, just cool games from all around the world.

Registration is free - forms.gle/cmF7vUkPc96d...

Deadline is March 15, 2026!

I just realized something funny Capcom could do with #MegaManDO

If there is a physical release, they should have a Collector Edition.

Then name it Megaman: DOCE

Doce is Twelve in Spanish

A friendly fire clip I forgot to share from when I played the SpongeBob festival in #SonicRacingCrossWorlds

It's been a long wait, but the first two seasons of Adventure is Nigh are now available to pre-order on Blu-Ray!

Reflecting on Two Years of Second Wind | Unpacked YouTube video by Second Wind

This was a really emotional, personal and reflective script for me to write. @ericweichhart.com did a great job of grabbing all kinds of great archive material to bring it all together in the edit.

On the eve of our second anniversary of Second Wind, here's a really personal story.

I find it interesting how it never stops getting easier for content creators to ragebait for monetization, including an evergrowing skill to take things of context.

But what I wonder the most is about the audience.
Looking for artificial ways to be angry can't be healthy.

This is a great video on the modern media landscape and how cooked everything is. 👍

I Can Stop Playing CloverPit Whenever I Want... YouTube video by Second Wind

Really like this video from @nickjcal.bsky.social.

After all the recent YouTube events, I can't believe I forgot about the existence of Dailymotion.

I know some news stations are using it in my country, but I don't know how good the video app is or if the monetization is worth it

Can't thank everyone enough for the added support we got on Patreon this week with our call-to-action video.

We set the goal for ourselves to get back to $45,000 / month on Patreon by the end of the year in our Q2 report, and we've surpassed that this month.

That's financial security for our team

Search LibGen, the Pirated-Books Database That Meta Used to Train AI Millions of books and scientific papers are captured in the collection’s current iteration.

Just a reminder to check for your name in this list of books that OpenAI trained from. If your name is there, they probably owe you several thousand dollars.

OpenAI cried that if everyone eligible author files, the company will go bankrupt, so I'm alerting every author I have ever spoken to.

Our wonderful community helped us raise $10,000 over the last two weeks to help fund the production of the fifth season of Adventure is Nigh!

Goal was smashed tonight on the Hot Monday Energy livestream.

Thanks so much. More details soon on when it's filming!

I find it frustrating Square-Enix (and for another example, SEGA and ATLUS) are not even doing paid upgrades.

PSN Store?
Buy it once for PS4 and PS5

Xbox?
Buy it once for Xbox One, Xbox Series S|X and why not, PC too

And if you go physical, only the Switch 1 copy is offline.

EA CEO’s pay is up, as EA worker median income drops Behold, the tallest chart in Game File history. PLUS: EA execs were paid (a little) more for boosting generative AI

NEW: EA CEO Andrew Wilson was paid $30.5 million in cash and stock this past year, up about $5m from a year ago

Since the U.S. requires companies to compare CEO pay to employee pay, I made an EA pay chart

To make it work, I had to make it VERY TALL

Western vs Eastern Game Development (ft. Laura Shiraishi) | Dev Heads YouTube video by Second Wind

New episode of Dev Heads is live -- this week, the crew is chatting about the differences in development between western and Japanese studios.

www.youtube.com/live/rUWuYmz...

As of today I've put out a video (with @ericweichhart.com editing!) every week for the last four months now.

Really proud of that considering all the other stuff I have going on every week too.

Have had a lot of fun writing them, and I'm glad people are enjoying them.

Stay tuned...

rip polygon

i wanted to collect links people are posting to good polygon-adjacent sites + ways to follow/support folks who've been laid off from there - almost certainly extremely incomplete but maybe it'll be helpful? haunts.neocities.org/polygon

I find it funny the only Switch 2 I can buy is a music CD haha

Doing well, how are you doing?

A few years later, I'm still doing video editing, haha. I consider myself lucky in that regard.
