As promised, here are the slides I shared with students to convince them to NOT use chatGPT and other artificial stupidity. TL;DR? AI is evil, unsustainable and stupid, and I'd much rather they use their own brains, make their own mistakes, and actually learn something. 🪄

A couple of hours into Avowed, and it gives me a "gagner la guerre" vibe, the world building is fantastic, and goes away from the classic fantasy like the book did. Something more Italian Renaissance with a touch of magic.

Seeing F1's live stream showing Atlassian being William's main sponsor makes me anxious... Are they gonna make jiras for the drivers?

Des millions de joueurs et joueuses ont combattu pour le compte de la «Super Terre» dans «Helldivers 2», qui reprend les codes des dictatures pour mieux les tourner en ridicule.

What I love about taking a full Christmas break, shutting all social media for the period and recharging batteries... Is that I have a high probability to get food poisoning! Here I am, back from the depth of my stomach

Very good high level thread! Of course this comes in different formats depending on the size of the company. Having been small and big stufios, then seeing Arrowhead going through different setups, I'd say one of the key is that this art/design/engineering trio stay strong and "state of the art".

Omens of Tyranny preparation thread🧵 First of all... What is it? This update constitutes the first step of what we call "Arc 3" for Helldivers 2. The key was to offer something memorable. Obvious choice then to prepare the invasion of a long awaited foe of Super Earth: the Illuminates!

Omen of Tiranny is now out, it's almost 5AM in Stockholm and I'm running back to bed. But this is the view from our release operation, and I'll definitely do a thread about how it works once I had a proper night sleep 😴

I had the honour to attend the Golden Joystick Awards with together with @alexbolle.bsky.social on behalf of Arrowhead. Can't believe we got to share the stage with so many amazing developers, let alone leave with 4 awards. We did good team :)
