Ended up getting Mogwai tickets for the Helsinki show. So time to plan the next trip I guess hehe. At least weather should be nicer in September.

Warner Bros' closure of Monolith Productions is dreadfuly sad. This is an under-appreciated studio that has made banger after banger, and pushed the industry forward. Here's a quick video on Why Monolith Mattered youtu.be/qywq_1GVIGI

hell yeah!

Monolith Productions, thanks for the games and everyone who worked on them.

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."

Old as hell PC gamers pouring several ones out today

can't fucking believe they shut down Monolith 😔💔

Oh shit, Mogwai is playing in Helsinki in September. Maybe I should book a trip back already 👀

Pssst... MinnMax made a Criterion Closet Picks but for video games. Tell a friend, please! youtu.be/iAatcnwlnh4

It was announced last week that artist Viktor Antonov had died, and it was clear people had a lot of love for him. So I reached out to some former colleagues, like Marc Laidlaw, Harvey Smith, Laura Dubuk and Raphaël Colantonio, who all wrote wonderful tributes. kotaku.com/viktor-anton...

You should all download the demo for Skin Deep

BEST DAY EVER!

So happy I took Monday off as well. Need today to recover from vacation 😅

Good morning Stockholm!

Pretty sure video games don’t have to look better than this

Helsinki was great! Our legs are hurting from all the walking but it was all worth it! 💙🤍 (Just gotta come back when its not as cold!)

Helsinki is very cold and windy so far! Like it so far but can definitely see it being even nicer in spring/summer!

👋 Helsinki!

Boat time!

Taking a Helsinki trip with my partner over the weekend. Excited! I haven't been since I was a kid. Whenever we go it's usually to Tampere or Turku.

Pentiment Mentioned @jesawyer.bsky.social

they could have had Arkane Austin make a single player RPG now that those are blowing up again but nah let’s have Microsoft Sam create a hallucination of Kameo

yeah no thanks.

Gonna be helping out the central tech org at work for the next 1 or 2 months. Gonna be interesting doing stuff that is not for a game project for a while.

Our thoughts with the family & friends of Viktor Antonov. He was a visionary who added a unique and powerful voice to our medium. Moreover, we interviewed several of his colleagues over the years and were always confronted with broad smiles when his name came up. Thank you Viktor. Rest in peace.

Good memories of travel together with both of you; London, Dallas, Lyon. All this about his impact and talent is true, but I will also always remember how much he made me laugh, with his dry, devastating wit. RIP.

RIP Viktor Antonov. I wish I told you how much admiration I had for you but we get caught in our lives until a surprise like this hits us. You were instrumental to the success of Arkane Studios and an inspiration to many of us, also a friend with whom I have many fond memories

RIP king 😔

I dunno if this is an unpopular opinion but I feel like the only people I ever see getting recognition, new positions, promotions and bigger salaries are people in lead or lead adjacent positions. I feel like everyone below those people in the hierarchy deserve it equally much and/or even more.

🤩

why does bluesky hate steam screenshots? anyways, I played about 3 hours of Avowed so far and it seems very rad!

just waiting for Avowed to unlock in 2,5h

I had the real pleasure of chatting to @pataloon.bsky.social for PC Gamer - about learning at the feet of Arkane's level design masters, and creating the uniquely creepy and thunderous Threshold. www.pcgamer.com/games/horror...

Layoffs at Crytek now, it's just neverending huh..
