Kinbasket YouTube video by North Mist Studios

@sylviafeketekuty.bsky.social 's experimental audio drama Episode "Kinbasket" is now live! Strange and spooky, this is a wonderful jumping in point to the story as it's entirely self-contained.

We'll resume Season 2 of "The Concierge" with Episode 2 coming next month!

Anthem the game had fun gameplay and deserved a chance to get better with the Anthem Next team.

Anthem the project drove good people out of the company and put others in the hospital.

Man standing in field of sheep holding rainbow flag.

One out of 12 rams is uninterested in females. Deemed “non-procreative" by farmers, they're typically sent to slaughter. German farmer Michael Stücke rescues the gay rams. His company Rainbow Wool, sells fabulous wool products from his flock of gay sheep. rainbow-wool.com

On the other hand, Chris Pratt's attempts at serious headshots are their own brand of comedy

The Concierge Post Mortem: Episode1 YouTube video by North Mist Studios

First-I want to shout out @northmiststudios.bsky.social ! Made up of a handful of ex-Bioware devs, including @marykirby.bsky.social (Varric writer) and @sylviafeketekuty.bsky.social (Emmrich writer), who have been hard at work on their Canadian assassin audio drama!

As some of you are aware, part of Dragon Age day was to thank the DA Devs for all the hard work they put into the series we love so much.

This is also the first DA Day where we have no DA team, as they were laid off earlier this year.

So let's make an effort to support their new projects!🧵

I have no idea if this creator has a film background, but if not, they have an incredible eye for composition. This, and their other works, would actually be a great teaching tool for an editing/boarding/cinematography class. Clever camera angles, strong posing, and easy to follow despite quick cuts

Women of colour are by far the most educated in #gamedev, yet hold the lowest % of permanent or managerial roles.

So how does someone with no power make an impact? In the company? The community? How far can rage carry a career in game dev?

Hell yeah Tim Russ! Standing for Treks values ❤️❤️ makes me even more excited to hear him in the next Star Trek Khan episode.
