I had the privilege to do some very brief consulting on Lighthouse last year, and I'm delighted (heh) to see how far it has come! Congrats to the team! 🔆🎮

Our colleagues in the Vox Media Union have put together a Go Fund Me. Please, if you've enjoyed what we do... If I've ever helped you in some way... If you've ever loved something more because of what we've written... Please give what you can. The next few weeks and months are going to be hard.

Nothing unmakes me like having to toe the line between "being nice and compromising so that you're not accused of being rude or emotional" VS "being combative and unyielding enough so people don't then resent you for not bringing up issues sooner", and unfortunately it's perhaps 75% of the job

Hey! I really felt the weight of everything last week, and I wanted a way to talk through it... so I've been working on (maybe the first???) choose your own adventure game set up directly in Bluesky. And here it is! Would you like to visit the Garden of Fortune with me? Enter the garden.

SO YOU'VE BEEN LAID OFF BY A VIDEO GAMES PUBLICATION (It's going to be okay! We've all been there!): Has your workplace been taken over by some sort of content farm fuckboi capitalist? It's time for a new career! A few thoughts from one who has been there many times over.

i am far too stupid to be weighing in on this but one thing i would stress is that gaming media’s collapse wasn’t an inevitable fact of life. it’s the result of very stupid people making decisions they could have just as easily not made

EA CEO Andrew Wilson's annual compensation of ~$25 million ($5M cash, $20M stocks/etc) is more or less the annual cost of 150 well-paid developers.

This sounds post-apocalyptic, but aspiring filmmakers and writers really should find and collect DVD commentaries. So much applicable advice you’d never get in film school because it was discovered in the circumstances of making that movie. Big cultural step backward to lose easy access to these.

Late night rambling: Oblivion has a complicated legacy imo. There was a lot of streamlining to make it more accessible to a console audience, also a lot of streamlining in the toolset with procedural generation to help the team build the landscape. But it also introduced a lot of ambitious systems.

My issue is that I probably need something closer to 6 months of sick leave rather than the two weeks I just had. Good 2 weeks, necessary 2 weeks, but what I need is a factory reset at this point.

I would love to share some work of trans creators today. If you're happy to share your work/creations then feel free to reply to this comment!

Love and support for the trans community in the UK today, the supreme court decision is a pitiful regressive step for the country, which will ultimately embolden bigots - transphobia is a curse on our society and the UK's weird obsession with it is driving us all into the dirt.

«Le dossier contient notamment des extraits de livres que Luiggi avait sur lui au moment de l’interpellation. Sur dix pages de procès-verbaux, la police détaille ainsi les phrases annotées par l’étudiant concernant la lutte contre le franquisme comme une preuve de radicalité, et donc de culpabilité»

Hi Everybody, Today, I made the decision to resign from the studio I was working with these last few months, which means I am looking for work again! I am looking for remote Narrative Design and Game Writing work primarily but can consult as well. Here are some of the games I've worked on:

A lot of what’s going on in games at the biz level is about abdicating responsibility. “We’re metrics driven” - the numbers are at fault if we fail, not me “We should embrace AI” - the ‘algo’ is at fault if we fail, not me “Let’s outsource this” - their working conditions are their business

Wild how you can now come across "reviews" of games you worked on made by content farms, very clearly written by ChatGPT, telling straight up lies about them to their audiences of bought bots. What are we even doing anymore man
