We need to examine the way we make games, and find ways to uphold the art form beyond profit margins and revenue targets

My heart goes out to all the devs affected. It’s heartbreaking

BREAKING: PlayStation is shutting down Bluepoint Games, the studio responsible for modern remakes of classic games such as Demon's Souls and Shadow of the Colossus, Bloomberg News has learned.

A shocking end for a well-respected studio.

Ummmmm, is this on?

Plain text that reads: I am a director. I have visions, I have dreams, fantasies that I must breathe life into. I find others and mobilise, we venture into the abyss to create this promised neverland. In a way, we all orchestrate the strings of our reality. That is our light, our flame. What else does humanity have to offer? What else do we have to offer? But I see men who threaten to live behind their mandate and plug themselves into perpetual pleasure machines. That is their prophesied destiny.

Plain text that reads: I am a director, I have a vision, I have a dream, a fantasy that I have breathed life into. My vision is not a singular truth for those who choose to join me and to take from, but a venture into the abyss, the framework for a promised neverland. This is the destiny I envision, but it is for our children to decide so. Once a connection has been made, it is a concrete possibility

We now live on the internet, our lives revolve around it. The first step to revolution, to real anarchy is truly decentralising the internet. I believe that if we can free our data, we can free the world

"...the character of the computer environment of the future needs to become more childish, and more human, if it is to help human beings to genuinely extract the best of themselves... this change may well affect activities which are apparently technical, not only those that one broadly classifies as 'creative'." -- Christopher Alexander

One of the most intelligent case studies in design is the Chinese tea cup. They're made without handles simply because if it's too hot to touch, it's too hot to drink. Humans naturally want to add more. Add a cardboard sleeve, add a warning on the outside of the cup, add a handle. The result of all these things never cools down the actual contents. And in the end, you'll still burn your mouth from drinking too early. It's not that people don't see the warnings, we're just adding more layers of separation between us and the answer. Simplify until it's obvious.

Guillermo Del Toro's Pinocchio had a budget of $35 million and every single character was moved one frame at a time by a human being. What the fuck are we even doing!!!!!!!

It’s interesting to see what’s going on with Esports and Saudi backed investments. What does the future of EVO look like? What happens to the inclusive nature of many of these tournaments?

Is there space for more community owned spaces and organisations?

Poster for Cyberpunk Edgerunners 2 shows the anime series' logo in neon yellow fading into stark red. Behind it is a chaotic collage in black, grey, white, and red of myriad characters from the upcoming series alongside brief glimpses at Night City.

💥Cyberpunk: Edgerunners 2 is in production! 💥

It presents a new standalone 10-episode story from the world of Cyberpunk 2077— a raw chronicle of redemption and revenge.

❓When the world is blinded by spectacle, what extremes do you have to go to make your story matter? 👀

Fucking Hell, when you think that things can’t get worse

I feel like the pain of that is not many people got to try it, so even being inspired to do so is unlikely.

Microsoft never should have been allowed to acquire Bethesda and Activision-Blizzard-King, it should have been blocked for the clear monopoly making move it was, and anyone with pattern recognition could've seen this coming, because voraciously acquisition always comes with mass layoffs.

Has Xbox considered laying one person off instead of thousands:

FIFA drops anti-racism, anti-discrimination messages for Club World Cup

America is one of those countries where if you host a global sporting event, inclusive messages have to be censored to so as not to anger the central government. In this case the message is “racism is bad” www.nytimes.com/athletic/643...
