If the Severance program was real then literally so many Americans would be saying things like “well, it’s good for the economy actually” and “if you think about it, how wonderful to not remember what you do at work” and it’s just a great reflection on what our economy actually is, and who it serves

The first measles death in the US in a decade -- the tragic, preventable death of a child whose parents chose not to protect them with vaccination -- should spark an immediate nation-wide campaign to ensure all children are protected against preventable diseases. Anything less is unconscionable.

Some thoughts on Monolith I needed to put down. The layoffs continue to be debilitating, but equally infuriating is the complete lack of regard for the expertise, legacy, and history of studios like Monolith - all in the name of the IP and an extra buck www.inverse.com/gaming/monol...

Please look up the influenza epidemic of 1918-19 to understand that the CDC not selecting strains for next year’s vaccines sets the stage for a public health calamity that will, without doubt and at bare minimum, catastrophically and directly impact people you know. This is a five alarm fire.

We are in a position to cover indie games that our writers have a passion for and where we can but we also HVAE TO PAY OUR WRITERS. Yes, the ad are dead but there is also no real alternative for indie sites who work with people who don't already have years of huge bylines to bolster an audience.

Since we're doing the "no one is covering small games" spiel (even though many are!): If you have an indie/small/double-A sports game, I'll cover it in my SBJ Gaming newsletter, in some manner. [email protected]

There’s a great quote in THE MARK INSIDE where a 1920’s con man says that the perfect victim is not a stupid man, but a man who’s made his fortune in one specific field, because these men assume they’re brilliant in all other things and believe they can’t be fooled.

Hard-working game devs across three WB studios are now suddenly without jobs -- the company behind games like Batman: Arkham and Mortal Kombat. Layoffs aren't "strategic," they're corporate greed. Video game workers deserve to be treated with dignity.

Indies will not save us until y'all start demanding Valve take a smaller cut of revenue from them. Because that 30% cut is responsible for more indie studios folding after their 1st game than anything else in this industry

Thinking about when I demoed To a T in December. I turned to Keita Takahashi and said that I love that he's so committed to making oddball games that go off the beaten path and asked what draws him to that philosophy. He looked at me very sadly and said "I was trying to make a normal one this time."
