The games industry truly doesn't deserve all of the talented people it has lost, and will continue to lose. I'm so sorry for everyone who is impacted with every layoff; you deserve far better.

Monolith were some of the best to ever do it, but even making amazing titles across multiple genres for decades can't save you from a oil-slick suit with a frog brain waltzing in and asking "hey, what if we made it all worse? I like worse. I bet we could make money with worse" and everyone suffers.

PSA: Scam targeting creators. Got shared a private video from "Notification for YouTube Creators" which is an AI video of YouTube CEO Neal Mohan telling me to click a link below or lose all monetisation. This channel has been banned now, but I've received two different ones this week. Watch out.

Little Stuff: -Knockdown/Recovery functional -Temp invulnerability after recovery -Static effect on severe damage -Flick targeting to manage multiple targets at once -Lots of little adjustments to rendering and handling I look forward to actual attacks instead of the single slap. #CherubDev #UE5

You know what's probably a cool job? Being an extra in a historical documentary re-enactment. Dress up like a soldier and pretend to stab people in a field for a day while a director calls for more fog to make a bunch of lads mucking about look in any way believable. I'd like to try that.

If Megalopolis had named the main character Stephanopoulos Megalopolis then I think reviewers would have been kinder on it tbh

The lyrics are actually a subtle nod to the act of switching off the power of yours or someone else's television set.

Microsoft is going to price gouge you by adding their genAI to your subscription without your consent, and they are not transparent about how to avoid this bullshit. Here's how to change your subscription back to "Classic" for a lower charge without Copilot: answers.microsoft.com/en-us/msoffi...

Watched O Brother, Where Art Thou? for the first time. Reminded how much Coen brothers films I still ought to see as I loved this. A heap of fun and funny characters corraled together, and a dreamy set of soulful music around every corner, makes for a great time.

Went on a big walk to some local shops for furniture I need, only for them to either be super-mega priced or not in stock. I tried my best. Off to Argos to buy flatpack.

Everyone in LA is sharing this story on insta, and I just want to make sure non-Angelenos know about this bear that crawled under a house during the fires. He had to be lured out with rotisserie chickens. Read it. You deserve a little treat.

Alright I've been informed that Disco Elysium is on the internet archive. It says by Robert Kurvitz but was uploaded by someone named Kim Duboise. Downloaded it myself and seems legit. Likely the most ethical way to acquire the game. archive.org/details/disc...

Sad to say that earlier this month Boris passed away. It wasn't unexpected, he had been sick for some time, but it's still a devastating loss. He lived sixteen-and-a-half golden and adventurous years, and I am happy he was by my side for them. Rest in peace mate.

The fact the Yu-Gi-Oh Early Days Collection games include "phonetic Brooklyn" in their localizations puts a smile on my face.

The normalisation of monetisation is so upsetting to me, especially since we can directly compare to how it was 20-15 years ago You didn’t need a shop in Quake 3 bc there were countless amazing maps and skins made by the people. Quake Champions is a walled garden of monetisation. As Diablo 4 vs D2.
