What a tragic loss. Monolith has been around for 30 years, made classics like No One Lives Forever, FEAR, Condemned, and of course the Middle-Earth series. I have so many great memories from that studio. Thanks for all the good times team ๐Ÿ’”๐Ÿ˜ž

The difference between 5 and 6AM is an hour but also all of time

'Truly I contain multitudes' I think to myself as I switch between Hello Kitty Island Adventures and Darkest Dungeon 2.

So... we're making a game! ๐Ÿ‘€

help I read a really excellent article yesterday on here about why the economic data the government uses is shaky, hence a huge disconnect between lived experience and "the economy is thriving" but I didn't like it for a bookmark and now I can't find it ๐Ÿ˜ญ

They are building a Costco near me and my local town Facebook group is OBSESSED with it. The updates are hilariously minute: 'They're pouring the concrete for the parking lot!!' 'Here is a pic of the support beams they put up!!!' 'Someone said they're filling the gas tanks for the gas station!'

there's a beauty here that i could not replicate if i tried

I think financial literacy class should be required for high school graduation everywhere, like in Virginia.

The cognitive dissonance of getting up every morning and making coffee and walking the dog and going to meetings and answering emails and wondering what to make for dinner while there is a real live actual coup dโ€™etat happening is BONKERS

Look, I'm not a fancy CEO guy, but if someone said to me "the key to this successful single-player IP's success is to make it purely a multiplayer game. No, not a spin off: fundamentally change the DNA of what people loved about the core game" to me, I'd probably, like, quit that job or something.

every milestone i have ever been a part of on any video game team ever:

This video game would have sold better if it were a completely different game. I am very wise.

Imagine owning Dragon Age, DRAGON AGE, the acclaimed single player RPG series and saying that people come to it for a live service model. Absolutely wild take. Very cool that execs get to fuck around and know nothing about the property they own or the current industry climate. Devs get layoffs.

Itโ€™s genuinely kinda awe-inspiring how bad executives in this industry can be at their jobs and still make millions of dollars a year, meanwhile most rank and file developers are either out of work or trying to get by in a cost of living crisis. Just kinda mind-blowing how out of touch they are.
