It Sucks to Work in the Video-Game Industry Right Now Even developers who successfully release big hits, like Fortnite and Battlefield, are losing their jobs

I don't think people understand how hard it is to work in the video-game industry right now. If you've been laid off, it can take months if not years to find new work. If you haven't been laid off, you're anxious that you will be laid off.

This week's column: www.bloomberg.com/news/newslet...

That movie was genuinely the most fun I've had in a cinema in a long time

The layoffs are making LinkedIn a bit soul crushing right now.

(*more soul crushing than it usually is)

Seeing a lot of people posting about Sora being dead :/ wish people were more cautious about sharing Kingdom Hearts 4 leaks

Ben Affleck smoking mem. He looks done with everything.

This fucking industry I swear to god

Honest Government Ad | How to be 'Merica's B!tch YouTube video by thejuicemedia

The Australien Government has made an ad about Alcoa, and it's surprsingly honest and informative.

I've been working on my next thing for #playdate and maybe even for Steam. Still pretty early. But having fun with this.

Forgot it was St Patrick's Day until I saw a guy in an Irish kit, dick out, pissing in the street at 8:30pm on a Tuesday.

Lol same

I pushed every single computer I had access to as a kid far beyond the limits of what they were reasonably able to do. All the AI hand holding and software imposed limits are blocking what a PC could be: a tool that can be used for limitless creation.

On my first day of my games undergrad some guy said to me and another woman "ooh gamer girls, my favourite" so you're definitely not alone.

Had to set the bar high so it's only downhill from here

It's international women's day if only there was a starter back of amazing Black & Femne Developers to support ✨✨✨

👋 I'm Darcy, a Lead Audio Engineer on the Call of Duty franchise (in other words I'm a software engineer that specialises in audio tech, please don't ask me to mix anything)

I'm not at GDC because I live very, very far away and it's very, very expensive

#WhatAGameDevLooksLike

I am tired

I do not condone a foreign government using something I worked on as propaganda for their unsanctioned war. It's a disgrace.

Jesus. F*cking. Christ.

GDC is coming up, which means it’s almost time for #WhatAGameDevLooksLike! Every year this lights up my socials and it’s such a lovely and celebratory time full of belonging and joy. And every year I keep getting reminded of how much we need it as things in the industry get worse lol

The 10 miles is the easy part
The 24 tacos should be doable
The 24 beers would destroy me

Albo was asked to apply one word to various prominent people (Trump, Barnaby, Pauline etc). Grace Tame he labelled "difficult". Unconscious misogyny, which says quite a lot more than he apparently intended.

I always wanted to play it, I'm just consistently time poor and am very aware this is going to take at least 6 months

After years of bullying and peer pressure I've finally started playing Baulders Gate 3.

Is it game over for the influential Freeplay festival? After two decades of raging against the machine, Freeplay – once the flagship for indie Australian games – has announced that this year will probably be its last.

Good story from @jacksonwryan.com with comments from me, @brkeogh.bsky.social, Katharine Neil and others.

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.

Normalize laughing derisively in men's faces when they deserve it.

r/analytics • IOh We just found out our AI has been making up analytics data for 3 months and I'm gonna throw up. Support So we've been using an Al agent since November to answer leadership questions about metrics. It seemed amazing at first fast answers, detailed explanations, everyone loved it. I just found out it's been hallucinating numbers this entire time. Our VP of sales made territory decisions based on data that didn't exist. Our CFO showed the board a deck with fake insights. The Al was just inventing plausible sounding percentages. I only caught it by accident when someone asked me to double check something. I started digging, and holy shit, it's bad.

lol this is gonna burst so fucking hard
