Because of my and my wife's stupid humour, our dog does not know, or react to the word "walk". But she goes ballistic at "Go Piss Girl"

Okay I'm actually gonna do a bit of an essay here about why I thought 2077 was so good.

Damn Balatro is confusing

If you're worried about AI destroying the games industry, remember that literally everything that investors said about Web3 and crypto games was total shite. So when you see a slick person confidently saying that AI is the future of games, remember they said that about Cloud gaming, Metaverse, Web3.

The "bluesky is an echo chamber" think pieces that keep popping up really tickle me because they show how certain people genuinely believe social media should be for debating and arguing and not talking about the things that make you happy and sharing art with the world.

A lot of game designers get suuuper academic about it. There's loads of very complex philosophy discussed. Which, imo, puts a lot of potential students off. Truth is, it effectively boils down to identifying problems before they happen and trying to solve them.

This hit my weak point for massive damage

The thing that really gets me is that the IWGB Game Workers Union Manifesto is such a reasonable document. Almost every single line in this document is "oh yeah that'd be good, why don't we have that?" www.gameworkers.co.uk/manifesto/

Ok I'll chill the fuck out after this - but this photo of me checking the steam sales when we hit #1 is sending me

We are proud to announce that the IWGB Game Workers Union in the UK is over 1,500 members strong! We've grown an incredible amount this past year. We're also launching our Manifesto: A Vision for a Better Industry today which we'd love for you to read through. www.gameworkers.co.uk/manifesto/
