Sony's Bend studio, which canceled a live-service game earlier this year, is laying off 30% of staff today (around 40 people), Bloomberg News has learned. The studio has been spinning up a new project following the cancellation.

Never mind the singularity, this is the imminent social problem with AI: the upsetting of the de facto social contract between content producers and search (which was problematic and shitty already). If content producers starve because AI summaries eat their traffic, things are gonna get real weird.

all conservatives are bots

The disparity btwn what’s actually happening in Los Angeles and the way it’s being mischaracterized is one of the biggest stress tests of modern media in recent memory. Botted socials, AI, old clips, declining literacy—it’s like seeing a broken emergency response system hit by a storm.

Austin TX continued to use excessive force against their civilians into the night.

The reason we make games about immigrant food is because food is is the first step in connecting with culture. People will accept immigrant food before they accept the people that make it. You can’t separate the two. We got to celebrate our game in LA this week despite the anti-immigrant assholes.

Wishing her a full recovery

Note the copy and pasted right wing talking points. One of the reasons they're so effective is sharpening the hate filled talking points of their audience into a single point of focus.

My design philosophy is Eris Morn coded.

thinkin of this tweet for no particular reason

This is a governing style and a management style in my experience.

Me and who?

(yelling at a guy standing between ICE and an elementary school) you're not waving the right flag

Yes, “disaster” is the correct word – this is a public health catastrophe. The pressure for him to resign should begin tonight, and continue until it happens. Nothing else should be in front of this. Go to a 19th century cemetery anywhere in this country to know why.

Last night I had a dream that ice tried to take disneyland and the disney adults went full tacticool militia.

don’t forget: waymos and other robotaxis are surveillance devices on wheels that police are increasingly tapping for footage

This is why we’re out in the streets - you cannot defend the actions of people who would lie to kidnap 1st graders. Any human being with a conscience is going to take that personally.

This took a while to get done, but I've chronicled my day among the protesters in Los Angeles, and the idea that this is anything but a celebration of cultural heritage and a firm, nonviolent demand to protect family, friends and neighbors is totally ridiculous. prospect.org/justice/crie...

this speaks a bit to my argument about leaving twitter. it's not about ideological purity, it is about the fact that it's been turned into a political weapon for people who wish to use it to harm others. it's not the marketplace of ideas - you do not have to participate in this project! very simple!

Mozart and Salieri

Is liquid glass just making text in overlays hard to read? www.cnn.com/business/liv...

Every governor should be strategizing right now about how to protect their constituents from the federal government sending the military after them.

this is incredibly lazy, murphy should link the huge, exponential increases in ICE funding proposed in the budget *to* these actions, they’re not separate, they’re intrinsically linked

At this point I have nothing to say to or about protestors. The executive should not be sending active duty military to a major city with a vague mandate, in violation of the only statute that he has cited, while his lawyers draft rules of engagement on the fly. Period.

Everyone remembers that person who was constantly yapping about vampire survivors, or slay the spire, or balatro. Now's your chance to be that person about cauldron and yes it's really that good.

spotted something awful today

I wrote about universal healthcare for @newrepublic.com and why everyone deserves healthcare, regardless of your income or your papers: newrepublic.com/article/1962...

The solemn duty of every games journalist is to remind the public that Pocket Card Jockey exists. www.pcgamer.com/games/action...

Sorry everyone else but cauldron is my current game of the year steamcommunity.com/app/2619650

I’m going to be building a thread of protest footage and content I can find as the afternoon and evening unfold from LA

Fortnite is good actually

Right now, Muslims in Gaza are supposed to be celebrating Eid al-Adha. Instead of feasting, they are starving. Instead of gathering with their loved ones, they are burying their children. Netanyahu and the IDF can end this misery ANY time by agreeing to a ceasefire and allowing aid into Gaza.

There’s another scandal buried in the Trump-Republican budget plan that’s not getting enough attention: massive giveaways to Big Oil.
