I think it’s not helpful to repeat claims that the administration is working on eliminating “DEIA” as though it’s some kind of corporate strategy; just say explicitly that they’re trying to eliminate diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility, and explain how.

Tomorrow marks the 11-year anniversary of the closure of BioShock developer Irrational Games and the subsequent founding of Ken Levine's Ghost Story Games, which has not yet released a game. Almost all of Ghost Story's original 15 employees have since quit.

Even physical games are bricked without PSN access if you need to pair a disc drive. This is why real physical media and disc drive access is vital. Welcome to the future - nobody owns anything, and all art and entertainment is disposable, temporary, and lost forever.

If this psn fiasco doesn't just go to show always online is a tragic joke. Even single player games are requiring a connection and that really shouldn't ever be the case.

Reviewing bombing rollerdome/Olli Olli world out of a misplaced sense of loyalty to the dev team is sweet, but counterproductive. It’s good to have Very Positive titles on our CV!

The fact that EBU is once again allowing Israel to partake in Eurovision this year even after they've murdered 61,000 Palestinians tells you everything you need to know about the morals of the organisation.

It’s 2019. You brought home a strange yet familiar 1995 CD-ROM game from the thrift store. You vaguely remember seeing ads for this game, and some kind of controversy, but you never got the chance to play it. Until now... store.steampowered.com/app/3414580/... Please #WishlistWednesday

Hey, check it out. I think Pixar was the first organization to talk about "ambient occlusion". A 2003 paper led to me this 2002 paper. No mention of this on the Wikipedia page for AO! www.hradec.com/ebooks/CGI/R...

After almost 14 years at BioWare, I am devastated to learn today that myself and others must seek new opportunities. I am so grateful for all of the learning, challenges, and most importantly the team. I will remember my time here with joy. Tomorrow we'll move forward. For today I will just be sad.

Hello! I’m looking for work, ideally in an editor role. It’s been an honor to work with so many talented professionals, and a pleasure to meet so many amazing community members, in my 19 years at BioWare. I’m so grateful to all of you.

I'm now looking for a new writing/narrative position. It's been a privilege to work with so many amazing devs over my 20 years at BioWare, and I will cherish the memories of the wonderful folks in the community I've met along the way. Thank you all.

I was a writer at BioWare for 5 years (2011-2016). I leaned a lot during that time from exceptional folx in many disciplines, but also specifically from my fellow writers & our amazing editors, on both the ME & DA brands. Today, not a single one of those writers & editors remains employed there.

You really are showing your entire ass as an outlet if you're treating Dragon Age underperforming as a bigger deal than FC 25 underperforming.

Layoffs always suck but to see people I’ve looked up to for years - who wrote, animated, edited, and brought to life so many stories and characters I love - hurts. BioWare devs, thank you for bringing wonder, compassion, intrigue, and magic to millions of fans, me included. We’re all in your corner

The fact bsky prompts me to add alt text to media is so helpful, (was that a setting I turned on or is it on by default?). I do forget sometimes and having that red text to just nudge me to keep things accessible is great.

We received expo passes for the IGFs last year and like, they're effectively worthless. Most of the talks you have access to are simply the most sponsored ones, and the expo hall itself isn't worth $300 just to walk around.
